CRUSHERS HIT
BY EXPORT LAW
Bad Handling of Cotton Seed Prod
ucts Causes Heavy Losses,
PROTEST IS REGISTERED
Special Convention in New Orleans Will
Attempt to Remedy Matters-Ben
ton Makes His Report.
Facts from both sides in the con
troversy as to why southern cotton
seed products exporters lose thou
sands of dollars monthly from negli
gent handling of their goods in steam
ships were presented at Monday’s ex
traordinary session of the Interstate
Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association in
New Orleans.
Action was taken to combat for
eign tariffs, which are claimed to
have cut down southern business in
these products by $2,000,000 annual
ly. The convention nominated Albert
G. Perkins of Memphis, Tenn., for
United States expert abroad on the
subject of cotton seed products. This
nomination is to be an appointment
which will be made by Secretary
Strauss of the department of com
merce and labor. Professor J H.
Connell of Dallas, Texas, was the
only other candidate for nomination.
Mr. Perkins succeeds J. L. Benton of
Monticello, Ga., resigned.
Mr. Benton reported to the conven
tion his observations upon the causes
of the losses of southern shippers.
Mr. Benton told of the enormous
waste in cotton seed products, due
to careless handling by steamship
lines, and of the loss to American
shipers thereby, estimated as high
as $1,000,000 in a single year. As an
example of how this waste occurred
he said:
“We find in New Orleans today
waiting for export 5,000 tons of meal
from five different firms. This meal
Includes five different brands. Of
the total amount 4,000 tons of it is
choice meal. The remaining 1,000
tons is dark, badly ground and with
an excess of lint and hulls. All
this meal is loaded into a vessel at
New Orleans without regard to the
classification shown on the marks in
dicating the brands. Asa result it
is pretty well scattered over the ship.
Since this cargo does not fill the
boat’s capacity, a few thousand bar
rels of cotton seed oil are rolled in on
top of the meal. A few of the barrels
break, a few of the sacks are torn,
and both cargoes, oil and meal, are
more or less damaged.
“Upon unloading, the meals sadcs
are hoisted by a single rope from the
hold of the vessel and are dra Sged
along the floor until they reach the
warehouse, by which time several
more bags are broken. Having been
loaded without regard to brands, the
meal is unloaded in the same man
ner. So many bags, moreover, have
been ruined that it is useless to at
tempt to collect the cargo according
to its clasaiiication. Instead, the
'meal is piled indiscriminately in
heaps of a ton each of mixed meal
for weighing and sampling. The loose
meal from the broken bags is appor
tioned to those piles which may be
short in weight. At this stage, a car
go which left the United States con
sisting of 4,000 tons of choice meal
and 1,000 tons of off meal, is now
reduced to all one grade, and that the
worst. There is just enough lint and
hulls in it to cause reclamation..
“The importer therefore does not
get the grade he has bought. If we
couid guarantee him the grade we
could get more for southern cotton
seed calce than is paid for any other
cake in the world.”
Mr. Benton said it will be a diffi
cult task to extend southern cotton
seed products trade abroad until the
delivery is improved.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep-
Hands, Arms, and Legs Affected
—Cured in 6 Days by Cuticura.
“I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The
affeqted parts were my hands, arm* and
legs. They were the worst in the winter
time and were always itchy, and T could
not keep from scratching them. I had to
keep both hands bandaged all tl*,e time,
and at night I would have to scratch
through the bandages as the itching was
so severe, and at times I would have to
tear everything off my hands to scratch
the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had
several physicians treat me, but they could
not give me a permanent cure, nor even
could they stop the itching. After using
the Cuticura Soap, one box Cuticurn Oint
ment and two bottles Cuticura Resolvent
for about six days the itching had ceased,
and now the sores have disappeared, and
I never felt better in my life than I do
now. Edwaru Worell, Band 30th, U. S.

You Look Prematurely Old
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.
One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman s
dread enemy Tumor,
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsuspected until it is well
advanced.
So called “wandering pains” may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly periotls
accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains, if
there are indications of inflammation
or displacements, secure a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con
vince every suffering woman of its
virtue, aud that it actually does
conquer tumors.
Mrs. May Fry, of 836 W. Colfax
Ave , South Bend, Ind., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
“I take great pleasure in writ
ing to thank you for what Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has
done for mo. I also took the Blood
Purifier in alternate doses with the
Compound. Your medicine removed a
cyst tumor of four years’ growth,
which three of the best physicians
declared I had. They had said that
only an operation could help me. I am
very thankful that I followed a friend's
advice and took your medicine. It has
made me a strong aud well woman and
I shall recommend it as long as I live.”
Mrs. E. F. Hayes, ol 26 RugglesSt.,
Boston, Mass., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkliam :
“I have been under different doctors’
treatment for a long time without
relief. They told me I had a fibroid
tumor, my abdomen was swollen and
I suffered with great pain. I wrote
to you for advice, you replied and I
followed your directions carefully and
today lam a well women. Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ex
pelled the tumor and strengthened my
whole system.”

cured of the tumor but other female
troubles and can do all my own work

Mrs. S. J. Barber, of Scott, N. Y.
writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“Sometime ago 1 wrote you for
advice about a tumor which the doctors
thought would have to be removed.
Instead I took Lydia E. Pinkliam's
Vegetable Compound aud to-day am a
well woman.”
Mrs M. M. Funk, Vandergrift, l’a.,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
“I had a tumor and Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound removed
it for me after two doctors had given
me up l was sick four years before I
began to take the Compound. 1 now
recommend Lydia E Pinkliam’s Veget
able Compound far nnd near.”
Such testimony as above is con
vincing evidence that Lydia. E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for Tumor
Growths as well as other distressing
ills of women, and such symptoms as
Bearing-down Sensations, Displace

Don’t forget to insist upon it when
some druggist asks you to accept
something else which he calls “just
as good.” •
