Got Stronger After Siie
Had Taken Cardui.
"For some time, T had
been having an awful time
with pains in my back and
' sides," says Mrs. Robert
Creasy, of Qulln, Mo. "This'
awful hurting would como
on me, and I could find
nothing to ease the pain.
"I was very weak and
nervous. It looked like the
least little tiling would up
set me.
"I tried many remedies,
but nothing did me any
good until I started taking
Cardui.
“Cardui proved to be all
that was said of it. I took
It for several months, regu
larly.. At the end of that
time, I was in good health,
and have been so ever
since."

AMBASSADOR BRIDGE
i LARGEST IN WORLD
| Huge Betroit-Canadian Span
to Coot 20 Millions.
Filed in office September 26, 1928.
T. F. CHRISTIAN, Clerk.
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Lumpkin County.
I, T. F. Christian, Cleric of the Su
perior Court of Said County, hereby
certify that the foregoing is a true
Detroit.—The Ambassador bridge,
spanning tho Detroit river between
Detroit and the border cities of Can
ada, will be the largest suspension
bridge in tho world when it is eonj-
pleted next year at a cost of $20,000,-
000. The first physical contact .be
tween tho two shorts was celebrated
with elaborate ceremonies recently
when the two-mile bridge first reached
.Canadian soil.
The first spanning of the Detroit
river was by mentis of a steel cable
17li Inches In diameter which was
; strung over the path to he taken hv
one of the two main supporting cables
■ of the permanent bridge structure.
The cable was lifted from the bed of
I lie river, where it was placed a few
days before, to the top of the two
huge lowers which will enry the bur
den of t tie finished International
bridge.
Nineteen Inth Cables,
j From this steel cable will he hung
the working platforms from which the
workmen will construct the 7,022 par
allel and closely compacted steel wires
which will form one of the two main
; bridge cables. The same operation
will he followed In the construction ot
tho other main 19 inch cable.
Because of the size and importance
■ of the Ambassador bridge, dignitaries
from both (lie border cities of On
tario and Detroit were present tit the
ceremonies. The mayors of Detroit
and the Ontario border cities of Wind*
■ sor, Sandwich, Ford, Riverside, La
Salle, Tecumseit, and Walkerville plli-
, dated in the elaborate program. A
squadron of airplanes dropped bril
liantly lighted colored balloons on the
river and along tho shores.
The mayor of Detroit gave thjj or
der i’qj’ the selling pff of an ferial
.bomb, [lie signal ror the raising ot the
cable fi;<?ni the fjvey l,.ed, while (,h.Q
niiij'or of Sandwich, Ont„ gave a situ
liar signal on (lie Canadian shore, As
the cable was raised fnlo position ofi
.the towers rising 303 feet above the
■ river, (lie flags of (he United Stales
! find Canada appeared from the steel
j rope and from the tops of the towers.
When completed the Ambassador
bridge will be approximately 7,109 feet
in length. Adjoining the ends of the
bridge structure proper will be two
terminals, each roughly equivalent to
a large city block in area. The main
span between the towers will ho 1.S59
Lot in length, or 100 feet longer than
the I'iiihidelphia-Caimlen bridge, which
■Is at present the longest suspension
bridge in the world. The bridge un
der construction over the Hudson river
between upper Manhattan and the
I’alisades on the Jersey shore will
.dwarf them all when it has been com
pleted.
The bridge will carry an unob
structed roadway 47 feet wide, with a
•capacity of five lanes of traffic, and an
'8-foot sidewalk. The number of lanes
of traffic used in any one direction
may he varied to suit traffic condi
tions.
Plenty of Clearance.
Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin, chief of
engineers, United States War depart
ment, ordered tho clearance over high
water In the river to he 135 feet near
the shore and 152 feet for a short dis
tance near the center of the span. This
allows the passage of vessels with
stacks, masts, or funnels 20 feet higher
than any plying on the lakes ,and 00
t'eet higher than any present freight
ers. Tile approach grades are entire!}
acceptable for the best highway
practice.
An idea of tho magnitude of the
bridge may he gained front the fol
lowing statement of approximate quan
tities of different kinds of materials
entering Into its construction:
Structural steel and cable wire, 24,
000 tons; concrete masonry, 25,000
cubic yards; cement, 40,000 barrels;
roadway pavement, 00,000 square
yards; sidewalk, S,000 square yards;
rivets driven. 2,000,000; terminal build
ings, 5 10,000 cubic feet; maximum
number of laborers simultaneously
employed In field, 550.

Cathedral Made Dear
by Old Associations
After Canterbury cathedral lmd
been restored from the great fire of
117-1, pious Englishmen so revered ;
(lie beauty of lid:) stronghold of the |
Church of England that they came j
from far and near and even those not
so religiously Inclined made their
“Canterbury pilgrimages." For 300 [
years this was kepi, up and many an
Inn sprang from existence to prosper
ity In the shadow of the sacred edi
fice. In time some of these pilgrim*
ages became loss of n religious exer
cise than a favorite summer excur
sion ami their history is shadowed
in pur word “canter" which is the ■
shortened form of ‘‘Canterbury gal
lon.”
Another Interesting thing associat'd
with tliis cathedral is the division of
the Bible into two chapters. Stephen;
Lnngton, who died in 1228, was car
dinal and archbishop of Canterbury
besides being a statesman of no
mean Luce. This was the ago of the
beginnings of organized learning and
Cardinal Lnngton, after distinguishing
himself as a teacher, gave Ills time a
standardized text of the Vulgate—there
being up until then almost as many
versions ns there were Bibles. It was
in this woik that lie made the inno
vation of dividing the lengthy books
into chapters, thus making specified
passages much easier to find.—Detroit
News.
Collector Had Noted
Pussy’s Rubber Heels
There is a saying to the effect that
“Possession is nine points of the law,”
hut in these days of repossession
many strango experiences are the lot
of the man whose job is to bring back
the goods. One such individual tells
tiie story of a case wherein he
repeatedly made calls, bid c0 uld nev
er find the party , l0111 L At , enst)
the bell ringing was always ignored.
Noticing one day that the .threshold
ot the front doorway was jvora quite
thin, so that one could look into the
hallway Sumo few Inches, the eollec-
|or deefijed (o leave his card, and aft
er poisil.y walking down Hie steps re
turned again very quietly and saw his
card,being picked up.
LIj said nothing'and when ho finally
gained admission, later in the wool?,
he remarked to the woman that lie
had called several days earlier and
found no one at home. Site replied
very sociably that "I knew you must
have been here because I found your
card. It was In the middle of the hall
lioor where the cat must have pulled
it in and was playing with it.”
The collecinr looked at Iter very
coolly, remarking. “Yea, I know. I
saw his rubber heels."
Hopeless

inmates. Next day two of the latter
were discussing the strange machine.
One said:
“Do you ktto-.v, 1 dreamt last night
I made one of those contrivances and
llc.v to Australia in sixty minutes."
“That’s strange,” said the oilier, “fm
1 had a similar dream, only 1 went to
.Melbourne in sixty seconds."
“Ilow did yon go?”
“Right through lit;? earth.”
“Look here, my friend," said the
other, “ you're not a lunatic—you’re
a blithering idiot.”
Be Charming

important than that of being charm
ing. Without the jeweled presence ot
the humming bird, how gloomy would

not one ol Hie most delightful duties
of life to sited joy around you; tc

Rer.'.crkable Work of
Hindu Stone Carvers
The majestic stone carvings to bo
found on nil ancient buildings in In- ■ I
din, gigantic Buddhas, the hulls and
the marvelous bns-reliefs nre among |
llip wonders of the world. Equally
marvelous are the fretted walls of
old Mogul palaces, Futtehpore Slkrl,
and the forts at Agra and Delhi. Won-'
derful artists and craftsmen have 1
worked on litis hard sandstone and 1
left us a world's heritage. Wo stand
amazed at their skid and patience.
They do not work like ( that in this,
our day.
But tho humble craft of stone cut
ting thrives, says a writer in the
Statesman, of Calcutta, wherever
stouu quarries are found. The red
hills of Rajputtuia send masses of
stone to Agra, and these on the out
skirts of the city ar»-the factories of
the patient toilers who chip and cut
by hand, contriving grinding stones
nnd dishes and howls with the same
Instruments that cut the stones for
the Taj, and carved and fretted the
screen In Hint far-famed tomb and the
deserted palnecs of the fort.

Left Gentility in a Safa
Emma >Cnlve, prinia donna of Car
men fame, tells this story against
herself In her memoirs, “My Life”:
"1 once had an English maid She
was a thoroughly good girl, truthful,
honest, obliging, but lacked tact. One
day, when on a long train journey,
she noticed that a rope of pearls I
usually wore were'missing, and panic
seizing her, exclaimed:
“‘Oil, madam, where are your
pearls?’
“At home In the safe, I told her,
adding that 1 never wore them when
traveling.
“‘Oh, what a pity!’ she said. ‘They
make you look like a real lady.’ ”
At Last!
The two old maids had lived togeth
er in apparent harmony for more than
forty years, when one, having reached
her ninety-eighth birthday, died.
A relative who undertook to break
the painful news to the surviving sis
ter was afraid Hie shock would prove,
fatal, but it had to be done sooner or
later.
However, it .turned out that her
fears were groundless.
"Ah, well,” replied the sister, who
was only eiglity-nlne, brightly, "now 1
suppose I sh:il 1 be allowed to have my
tea made just as I like It.”
The Hustlers
An American was airing Ills views
ou the couulry ns he saw it.
$ “There’s nothing much the mutter
with this little island," lie began. “All
you want Is a little more hustle."
At that moment there was a clam
oring’ noise, and a fire-engine flashed
round the corner.
“What’s that?” gasped the visitor.
His friend smiled.
“Oil,” he replied coolly, “that’s only
the district window-cleaning company
working overtime.”—London Answers.

The Brimstone Path
When the revivalist, l’orrey, was
holding meetings in London, he was
annoyed by persons who disapproved
of his sermons leaving the hall.
Preaching a regular hell and brim
stone sermon one night, he told his
hearers what a great sorrow It had
been to him because he believed one of
Ids aunts had died impenitent. "And
she has certainly gone to hell," the
evangelist added. A young man could
stand nn more, nud got up and walked
(•::!. “Vi . : 1 there goes a MMing .
man who will go to hell, too,” Torrey j
shouted. Reaching the door, the
young fellow turned around. “Yes,
I’m off,” ho called back. “Ta, ta. Any!
message for auntie? Or shall I tell Iter
you’ll see her later?”—Portland Ore-?
