“For some time, I had
been having an awful time
with pains in my back and
sides,” says Mrs. Robert
Creasy, of Qulin, Mo. “This
awful hurting would come
on me, and I could find
nothing to easo the pain.
"I was very weak and
nervous. It looked like the
least little thing would up
set me.
“I tried many lemedles,
but nothing did me any
good until I started taking
Cardui.
“Cardui proved to be all
that was 3aid 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.”

Would Consign Rats to
^ Death by Electricity
New Orleans, I.a.—A “diabolical
Pied-piping” invention, whereby rats
are electrocuted, was offered the city
of New Orleans by D. MoorohtolT. an
Inventor of Souderstown, H. I.
The apparatus consists of a metallic
disk to hold a tempting morsel of
cheese surrounded at a distance of
•several indies by a metal ring
charged with electricity. The "chair”
should tie placed on a barrel < r water
Tor best results, according to the in
ventor.
In describing the action of the In
vention, Monrnhtoff explained the rat.
attracted by the fragrance of the
cheese, would place Ills hind legs on
the ring and his front legs upon the
disk, thus completing the circuit and
electrocuting the rat. The electro
cuted rodent would then fall into the
barrel of water, to he choked to death
by suffocation in case the shock l.tul
not been fatal, and would thus he dis
posed of Immediately, eliminating Hie
necessity of removing victims before
other rats would be tempted.
In elaborating on the scheme the
inventor provides for the more intelli
gent rodents who might become sus
picious seeing their friends falling
into the harrel MonrnliloT would
place the .disk at a somewhat lower
level than lhe iring so that falling
rats would appear to be diving head
first Into the water, thus allaying the
suspicions of their families, who
might otherwise believe the cheese
was not nil that .it seemed .to be.
Huntsville, Texas—The homestead
to which Gen. Sam Houston retired
when lie was deposed as governor of
Texas because he refused to swear
allegiance to the confederacy, and the
house in which lie died, lonely and
broken-hearted, are being restored U>
their original rustic beauty.
The work of making the grounds a
state park nml the old home « shrine
for the people of Texas soon will be
completed. The legislature appropri
ated $16,000 for the purpose.
A quarter of a century after be had
jvon freedom for Texas with Ids vic
tory at San Jacinto, General Houston
lost the governorship of the state
v wl)!ch, as a republic, had honored him
.with its presidency. Somewhat embit
tered, lie sought peace nt Ids home
near Huntsville and .died two years
later.
The home changed .ownership many
times, hut in 1011 became .the proper
ty of the state teachers’ college, which
bears the general’s name.
In the last few months many
changes have been made in the ap
pearance of Hie place. Trees, which
were not there when it was Houston's
home, were chopped down, and those
which lie had planted were pruned
nnd marked. The pond was en
larged to its former size nnd shrubs
were planted on its bunks.
The house was restored to its ap
pearance of long ago, except that
lumber from a sawmill replaced the
rough-hewn plants. The interior, how
ever, was given what architects pro-1
nounced an almost perfect restora- !
tlon.
Now a search is being made for the \
furniture which Houston used during
liis Inst days. One of the first pieces !
recovered was a chair, found in a Ne-1
gro’s hut.

Chinese Converts Hand
Christians a Puzzle
Canton, China.—Chinese converts to
Christianity have advanced the claim
, that admission to tho church entities
them to divorce their non-Christian
wives and contract a new marriage
“based on love as in the west.”
The demand is a new phase of the
old conflict between the customs of
ancient Chinn and the ideas implanted
by Christian missionaries. Among
non-Christian Chinese the bride and
groom have liltle or nolbing to do
with the matcli.
Present-day wedding ceremonies in
■Canton are of a hybrid nature. Fire
crackers are plentifully used nnd rice
throwing, not a custom indigenous to
China, has been introduced by re
turned students from America. Many
tbrides wear foreign-style tlnce veils
with Chinese knit tains, while bride
grooms combine .foreign straw tints
and rubber-soled shoes with the eon-
.volitional Chinese long silk gowns and
black satin jackets.
The ancient wine ceremony nnd the
obeisance (before the tablets of the
bridegroom’s ancestors are generally
observed even at Christian weddings
out of deference to older members o(
the family. In Nationalist circles the
political will of Dr. Sun Yat-sen is
read and the couple bow three times

Olympia, Wash.—Far Western saw
mills are now cashing In on sawdust
since the adaptation of an automatic
feeding burner attachment applicable
to any furnace. Sawdust burners are
being installed In Pacific -Konst cities,
using one-third the amount of fuel to
obtain the same units of beat.
A sawdust burner consists ,qf a
sheet steel or custiron box placed on
the cellar lloor with the end .fronting

are removed. Into the ashpit .extends
a special combustion grate op which
sawdust is fed by gravity from a large

KING OF SLAVS IS
NO PUPPET MONARCH
Alexander Takes Big Part
in Nation’s Affairs,
Belgrade.—Probably no other king
I11 the world lias such a grip on the
affection cf Ids country nnd Ids peo
ple as young King Alexander of tur
bulent Jugo-Slavla. lie is not a mere
symbol. Not only is he In llio closest
bonds with ids people, but ho directs
lhe cabinet, controls the army, form
ulates Hie foreign policy, and takes
an active part in every question af
fecting the welfare of the nation.
Only thirty-nine years old, Alexan
der, who was once a page in tlie
czar’s court nt Petrogrnd, is the most
powerful figure in a country wliicfi,
since the World war;.has in.cvcase.il ils
population from 3,004,000 to 12,006,000
and its territory from 5S,000 square
miles to 1)0,135 square miles.
Alexander is a tremendous worker.
Jle Is 0:1 the go day nnd night. “I
.have never known a man who works
so hard," remarked Queen Marie about
• Tier royal son-in-law.
Seeks Racial Harmony.
Alexander’s greatest ambition is to
achieve unity and harmony among
i the Croats, Slovenes, Serbs, Dalmn-
1 tians, Moslems, nnd other diverse na
tionalities of Jugo-SInvia.
The king is intensely interested In
mechanics, science, medicine, arched-
.ogy, art, military lore, niul literature.
Like King George of England and
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, he is
a great stnmp and coin collector, hav
ing one of the finest sets in the world
The king’s day begins at seven in
the morning, when lie goes through tho
; newspapers, rends telegrams nnd an-
; swers correspondence. From ten o’clock
onward lie receives Ids ministers, the
commandant of the Belgrade garrison,
jtlio governor of tlie‘,cnpltnl nnp jinny
nnd civilian leaders. At 1 *30 .the kiijg
has luncheon, usually with the queen,
his two baby sons, court officials, and
.sometimes Invited guests.
Like most Slavs, Alexander Is a
hearty nnd a fast enter. He is fonj]
of Serbian national dishes.
From 2 to 4 In the afternoon he
^sunlly takes qn automobile trip with
,Hie .queen Into the ^puntry, ‘sitting t)t
.the wheel Idmself. .Occasionally ,fj,e
; varies ,tills by .11 horseback ride, a
long walk, or.a game,of r tennis. From
4 to 7 bp grants audiences.
.Is Always Cheered.
Between 7 and S bis majesty usu
ally takes a stroll Into town, oeconi-
• pnnied only by an aide-de-camp
He Is always enthusiastically chccc'-d
but docs not relish this public adula
tion.
At 8 the king dines, usually with
friends or otllclal guests. After din
ner bo chnts with his guests, plays
bridge, chess, or "listens In” on his
wireless.
Like most Slavs, Alexander Is very
pious nnd goes to church every Sun
day nnd 'on all feasts. Lie Is a mem
ber of the Greek Orthodox church
llut he is broadminded nnd does not
adhere to dogmas or rigid doctrines.
Although Alexander has been on the
throne sevep ^ears, he Tins never been
formnliy crowned, lie has always In
sisted that jliis country could better
.devote the expense of such a corona
tion to otlier'jqore useful ends. Only
once has lie .worn the crown, and t lint
,wns wlieq ,he formally assumed the
throne Ip ,1921.'
