§ Free Grace.
Kdenigsburg, Germany.—Proclaim
ing I himself an Instrument of the
Lorf, Kaiser Wilhelm pledged himself
to maintain German’s military stand
ing at a high level. The sentiments
«’re expressed in a toast to East
Prussia, given at a banquet here. The
kaiser said:
“We are ready to keep our armor
without a flaw, seeing that our neigh
boring powers have made enormous
progress. Looking upon myself as an
-instrument of the Lord, regardless of
the views and opinions of the hour, l
will go my way, which is devoted
solely to the well-being and peaceful
development of the fatherland.’’
Berlin, Germany.—The speech de
livered by Emperor William of Ger
many before the provincial banquet
at Koenjgsburg, in which he reiter
ated and emphasized his belief in the
divine mandate by which he rules, re
ferred to the Prussian crown as be
stowed by God’s grace and not by
Parliament’s or people's . assemblies
laid a lance against the present
movement for women suffrage, is the
political sensation of the hour.
The leading organs of the German
press devote extended comment to it,
generally criticising the emperor's ut
terances, and there are indications
that the discourse will have a deep
political effect on the country, nearly
all the Berlin papers discussing the
in connection with the politi-
Ical crisis of November, 1908, when the
publication by the London Daily Tele
graph of an interview' with the em-
B&rqr aroused a storm against the
luncontrolied public speaking of the
emperor.
Criticising the suffragette move
ment the kaiser reminded the house
wives of his empire it was his belief
they should rule the world from the
fireside and the cradle, and, inciden
tally'. added that women should fur
nish the inspiration for heroic mili
tarism.

BOLL WEEVIL IN "ALABAMA.
Dreaded Cotton Pest Appears in Franklin, Coun
ty, Alabama.
Russellville, Ala.—The boll weevil
has appeared in Franklin county, in
the northwestern part of the state.
Cotton squares yvere punctured and
dropped off. Specimens of the pest
will be sent to the state agricultural
department, althougn Texans residing
in Franklin county are positive the
bug is the genuine boll weevil.
The appearance of the pest in Ala
bama bears out the recent prediction
of a government expert that it would
invade this state this fall.
Montgomery, Ala.—A report of boll
weevil in Franklin county, sent out
from Birmingham, is not credited by
Commissioner of Agriculture J. A.Wil
kinson. In the march of the pest
eastward it would not ordinarily get
so high up as that for two years or
more.
Just now it is near the lower £or
ner of the state, If not inside, but
Franklin county is almost on the
Tennessee line. It is thought that
the specimens are corn or pea wee
ville, which at times do some damage
to cotton. However, there is a bare
possibility that real bugs may have
been transported to the reported trou
ble zone in cotton seed or some veg
etation.
PELLAGRA IN AUSTRIA.
Heroic Measures to Stamp Out
Disease.
Washington. Heroic measures
have been taken in Austria to stamp
out pellagra, which lias a run there
similar to that in the Southern states
of this country. Commercial Agent
Henry Studnichka of Vienna has sent
a statement to the Department of
Commerce and Labor as follows:
“In order to stop the popular use of
infected corn meal, which is held re
sponsible for the disease, the Austrian
government has constructed in south
ern Tyrol six modern steam rye bak
eries, which are under the direct su
pervision of the governor of the
province, assisted by a number of
subordinate officers. The city gov
ernments of this section also rigidly
supervise and inspect all private bak
eries.
A HUMAN OSTRICH.
Hatpins, Keys and Pistols Found in
Man’s Stomach.
Cairo, 111. —Before Frank W. Wilson,
an advertising solicitor of St. Louis,
died here i» a hospital, he told the
physicians fie had swallowed several
articles of foreign nature and that
they had better put tiie X-ray at work.
Three incisions were made in the
man’s and according to the
physicians the following articles were
removed: Qne shoe button hook, la
dies’ hatpin, three keys, one lead pen
cil, one belt buckle, one tin toy pis
tol, three nails (small), one needle
and one thermometer.
Wilson, according to his physician,
had been in a depressed mental state
for some time, during which he swal
lowed anything he could get down his
throat. He had been in the hospital
tor a month.
Cholera in Russia.
St. Petersburg.—A slight improve
ment in cholera conditions in south
ern Russia is shown by the latest re
ports to the government sanitary bu
reau and to the Red Cross. This is
taken as a sign that the epidemic is
now on the wane. Reports to the
sanitary bureau for the week of Au
gust 14 to 20, inclusive, give 16,106
new cases and 7,743 deaths as com
pared with 23,944 cases and 10,723
deaths for the previous week, making
a grand total of 121,091 cases, and
85,030 deaths for this year’s epidemic.
No Bombardment of Skies.
Washington.»-Estimating the cost
of the experiment at about SIOO,OOO,
the War Department officers declined
requests to order a bombardment of
the skies by all its guns on Puget
Sound and at the mouth of the Co*
lumbia river in an effort to bring on
rain in the burning forest district of
the northwest. In addition to the ob
jection of cost, the army officers re
garded the proposition as certain to
prove futile.

Dr. A. W. Calhoun Dead.
Atlanta. —Dr. Abner W. Calhoun,
one of Atlanta’s foremost citizens and
one of the most noted physicians in
the South, died at his home here.
Two years ago Dr. Calhoun’s health
began to fail, and last January he be
came so much worse that he had to
give up the practice of his profession.
For four or five months prior to his
death he was confined to his bed. In
the death of Doctor Calhoun Atlanta
loses one of her best citizens, and the
world a physician whose work in life
was to relieve suffering humanity.

No other medicine for woman’s ills
has received such wide-spread and un
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, ulceration, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, ana it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia E.

asMrs.Barclaysays.it is “worth moun

“And I thought it was,” rejoined his

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA
“No tongue can tell how I suffered
for five years with itching and bleed

Cuticura Remedies, and I am so grate
ful I want the world to know, for
what helped me will help others. My
body and face were covered with
sores. One day it would seem to be
better, and then break out again with
the most terrible pain and itching. I
have been sick several times, but
never in my life did I experience such
aw’ful suffering as with this eczema. I
had made up my mind that death was
near at hand, and I longed for that
time when I would be at rest. I had
tried many different doctors and medi
cines without success, and my mother
brought me the Cuticura Remedies, In
sisting that I try them. I began to
feel better after the first bath with
Cuticura Soap, and one application of
Cuticura O.intment.
“I continued with the Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and have
taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolv
ent, and consider myself v/eli. This
was nine years ago and, I have bad
no return of the trouble since. Any

Why He Was Sorry.
To impress on young children just
what should and what should not be
d«ne and why, is among the most try
ing problems of parents, as evidenced
by the recent experience of a West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son, aged eight, to
carry a chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started off
willingly, but in the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
ances that would have done credit to
a pirate of ancient days. The mother
w‘as taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy a long
and serious talk on the subject of pro
fanity. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she
concluded the boy adder to her dis
comfiture by exclaiming, “I am sorry
I swore, mamma, but I forgot it was
Sunday.”
All the Difference.
The professor was delivering an elo
quent address on cruelty to animals,
and to illustrate how a little judicious
forethought would eliminate to a great
extent the sufferings that even small
insects are subject to, said:
“As I was coining through the hall
tonight I saw a bald-headed gentleman
very, harshly treat a little innocent
house-fly which had alighted on his
bead.
"Now, if there was any justification
for such bad temper, 1 would be quite
justified in indulging in it at the pres
ent moment, for a fly has just alighted
on the back of my head. I can’t see
it, but I can feel it.
“Possibly some of you can see It
now; It is on the top of my head. Now
It is coming down my brow; now it is
coming on to my— G-r-r-eat pyramids
of Egypt, it’s a—wasp!”

as proof that concentrated nicotine

Senator Smoot of Utah tells a story
on the late E. H. Harrlman, which
sounds somewhat familiar. He says
that when the Salt Lake cut-off was
completed Mr. Harriman took a large
party of big railroad men out to it.
They had their pictures taken at
the right spot scenically. Mr. Harri
man stood at one end of the group.
When the pictures were printed and
the photographer brought them around
the railroad men examined them.
“Why," shouted one of the guests,
“where’s Mr. Harriman?”
“Do you mean that little chap that
stood at the end?” asked the photog
rapher. “Why, I cut him off.”
