«your nose is shiny,” candidly re
marked one fair woman to another
at a club dance recently. It was be
tween dances and several daintily
clad young women had grouped to
gef.her for a short rest. ; I
“Thanks,” laconically replied the
one with the shiny nose. “Stand in
front of me, girls, just for a mo-
A
me&er companions “bunched” to
gether, hiding the young woman and
her shiny pose from those on the
floor. Leaning swiftly over, she in
serted two fingers in one of her
slippers and pulled therefrom a pow
der puff with which she proceeded to
powder her nose until it looked quite
frost-bitten, and was shiny no more.
Sounds of music caused a scatter
ing of the group of young women, |
as dancing partners came to claim |
them, and the one with the white
powdered nose danced gayly away
with the rest, unaware that an in
nocent observer had been watching
her, and thought they had solved the
problem of where women keep their |
supply of face powder during a'
dancing party. But that was only one
of many places, as any young wo- |
man can testify. Scores of ’em carry
money in their slippers, and that’s a
fact, It is much easier to extract
carfare from a slipper than from a|
stocking. ‘
“First National” Still Solvent. |
Hosiery that is not too lacg is of
ten used by young women who take
any considerable sum with them on
a journey. The money, in bills, is |
quite safe in a stocking, as long a5l
it is in use it seems, for the world
has vet to hear of a burglar who,
went through the women’s stockings,
when making a holdup. None has
vet been found brave enough to.
make the attempt, so the stocking
remains a pretty safe depository.
Very few women carry any great
amount of money in handbags or
hand purses. They are too apt to lose
it. or have it snatched away by a
pickpocket. |
Rapidly changing styles in dress
make it practically impossible for|
women to have any well established |
money pockets. Pockets which adorn
their suits and dresses are usually
stylish ornaments, and it is the very!
capable women only who have gain
ed the remarkable foresight to hav.e‘
a specially constructed money pock
et sewed in their clothes.
Wanted: A Woman’s Pocket.
No mere man need ever WoOlrry
about not having pockets in which to
keep his money. Most of them worry
over the fact that they cannot keep
money in their pockets, and a fa
vorite demonstration to wives is to
turn several pdckets wrongside out
‘ to prove that they are empty when]
' asked for ready cash. . |
But the women? They have strug
gled along with makeshifts from,
time immemorial and have never had |
real, everyday, workable pockets,
such as the men have. Although they
have insisted on equal rights it isl
doubtful if §hey will ever obtain
equal pockets. Tt’s up to some mod-‘
ern inventor to design a handy and
reliable pocket, accessible and safe,l
and that can be used on any occa-!
sion by womankind. ’ l

SMITH MEN USE FALSEHOOD
-~ TO BOLSTER DYING CAMPAIGN
ATLANTA, Ga., August 31.—1 n a
desperate, eleventh hour effort to
appeal to public prejudice Senator
Smith’s campaign managers have
scattered broadcast over the state a
report to the effect that Governor
Dorsey had discharged a ‘white flor
ist named Grant and pfit a negro in
his place.
This, of course, is a falsehood out
of the whole cloth, and Senator
Smith’s managers know it. But like
the dorwning man grasping -at a
straw, they will stop at nething to
bolster up the fading claims of s\eir
dying candidate.
The truth of the matter is, as stat
ed by T. E. Massengale, lkeeper of
public buildings and grounds, that
the position of florist was abolished
on account of war time economy.
The state now has no florist at all.
The negro referred to is simply a
porter in the executive office, and
one of his duties is to eut the grass
and pick up papers from the grounds.
As a result the state is saving $9OO
a year. Here are the exact facts
in the case as stated by Mr. Massen
gale: |
“Mr. Grant had been employed at
the capitol for a number of years
PRICE OF SUGAR ‘
: |
|
NEARLY CUT IN HALF IN THE
.~ LAST 'SIX WEEKS. SPECU
LATORS HARD HIT.
The bottom has dropped out of
the sugar market in the United
States during the last month or six
weeks, and hundreds of dealers who
who made millions of dollars boost
ing prices when sugar was scarce
now stand to lose nearly all they
made as the result of the big price
drop.
Sugar has dropped in price in the
last six weeks from 25 and 28 cents
a pound to 16, 17 and 18 cents a
pound. It is certain to reach the 15-
cent mark before long, and may
even go below this. Speculators have
been hard hit, many of them being
compelled to sell sugar for five
cents less than they bought it for
in order to make good loans from
the banks.
Increased Supply; Reduced Demand.
Two factors entered into the col
lapse of the sugar market. In the
first place, dealers all over the
world, many of whom had never
thoughf of American markets be
fore, began shipping sugar to this
country, lured by the high prices.
But the second and more important
factor is the diminishing demand in
this ‘country.
The per capita consumption of
sugar has fallen way off.
Cuban holders are offering raw
sugar at 11 cents a pound cost and
freight, while the best bid in the
market is 8 cents, There has been a
small gale of. Peru sugar ag 97%
cents, -which is equivalent to 10%:
cents.
STORK GETS SETBACK;
LOSS OF POPULATION
|
Monster Shrinkage in Number of}
People Due to War Is Placed at i
Over Twenty Million. .
Due to the war influence ten Eu
ropean nations engaged in . the
world war show a potential loss in
population of 35,320,000 persons
since 1914, according to a statisti
cal research conducted by the socic
ty for studying the social conse
quences of the war at Copenhagen,
made pfblic by the American Red
Cross. : ;
Causes of the abnormal falling off
in population were attributed in the
society’s report as follows:
Killed in war, 9,819,000; deaths
due to augmentation of mprtalrty,
economic blockades, war epidemics,
5,301,000; fall in birthrate, due to
mobilization of 56,000,000 men be
tween 20 and 45 years of age, 20,-
200,000.
CREDIT EXPERT PREDICTS
PRICES WILL REMAIN HIGH
Advises Moderate Buying on Present
Basis to Avert Economic Crisis.
J. H. Tregoe, secretary and treas
urer of the National Association of
Credit Men, says that prices will
not be substantially lowered while
the cost of -labor continues to soar.
In a letter to members of the as
sociation he said in part:
“Labor counts for a large per
centage of production costs, and so
long as labor is receiving a high
wage, is clamoring for more and is
profiteering at the expense of the
people we cannot expect a substan
tial lowering of prices.
“Prices form one of the most in
teresting subjects before business
men today, and when misinterpreta
tion of their trend leads to expecta
tions, which are not fulfilled, an un
pleasant situation is precipitated.”
R
A GRATEFUL LETTER.
It is in trying conditions like that
related below by Mrs. Geo. L. lslorth.
of Naples, N. Y., that proves the
worth of Chamberlain’s Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy. “Two years ago
last summer,” she says, ‘“‘our little
boy had dysentery. At that time we
were living in the country eight
miles from a doctor. Our son was
taken ill suddenly and was about the
cickest child I ever say. He was in
terrible pain all the time and passed
from one convulsion into another. I
sent my husband for the doctor and
after he was gone thought of a bot
tle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diar
rhoea Remedy in the cupbeard. I
gave him some of it and he began
to improve at once. By the time the
doctor arrived he was out of dan
ger.” e
prior to the time Governor Dorsey
came into office. When the governor
assumed his office he laid down cer
tain rules by which his capitol em
ployes should be governed. M.
Grant seemed to feel that his long
occupancy of his position made him
immune from these rules—and he
did not comply with them. The gov
ernor had me speak to Mr. Grant
several times in reference to being
late to his work, and away from the
capitol when wanted. After keeping
a record on Mr. Grant I found that
his services were unsatisfactory and
so reported to the governor, who
abolished the office of florist and told
me to notify Mr. Grant of that fact.
“Mr. W. B. Wilson, engineer at
the capitol, and Mr. R. B. Devors,
assistant superintendent, are both
thoroughly familiar with the facts as
above state. The duties of the negro
referred to in Mr. Grant’s card con
sist in being a porter in the execu
tive office, sweeping floors and keep
ing the grass cut and the grounds
clean. No florist is now employed at
all. Since the abolishment of his of
fice the state has saved $900.00 per

MISSISSIPPI CROWD WATCHED
BOXING BOUTS BEFORE BIG
* EVENT. MAN KILLED FOUR.
A crowd estimated at 5,000 Bath
ered near the jail yard at Tupelo,
Miss., when Charles R. Marshall was
hanged for the murder of four mem
bers of the Robert Miller family, at
Amory, Miss., last January. The
crime for which Marshall paid thei
penalty was one of the most cruel
in the history of the state, the slay-‘
er having first set fire to the house‘
containing he bodies of his victims
and then threw dynamite into it. ‘
Pear]l Miller, 14 years -old, the
sole survivor of the family, and who‘
saw Marshall kill her father, broth
er, niece and sister, asked permis
sion to spring the death trap, but it
was denied her.
Business Halted For the Event. ‘
Monrpe county people and those‘
from surrounding counties made a
fete of Marshall’s hanging. Virtual
ly every citizen of Amory was on
hand for the event, business being
suspended in Amory and ever¥ store
closed. All business in Tupelo was
stopped, and people poured into the
town from every part of the state.
So great was the crowd that a Tu
pelo athletic club staged wrestling
matches and boxing bouts to enter
tain the visitors while £he members
waited for the hanging. Sandwich
men and sof drink stands did a
thriving business. Farmers went to
town, dressed in their Sunday best,
and took their families with them.
Beat the “Privacy” Law.
Mississippi has a law that hang
ings must be private, and as a result
a five-foot fence was erected around
the scaffold, but it had little effect
on the crowd.

Drink lots of water and stop eating
meat for a while if your Bladder
troubles you
¥When you wake up with backache and
dull migery in the kidney region it gen
erally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms urie acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re
moving all the body’s urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at onc® or get from your pharmacist
ahout four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneye will then act fine. This famous
