Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound Drove Her Illness Away Milwaukee, Wisconsin.—“l was fna badly run-down condition and I would get weak spells and terrible headaches. I felt so badly last year that I could not do any houseclean ing. The minute I would lift or stoop it seemed as if I was going to fall to pieces. I told a neighbor how I felt ana she said that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was surely the right thing for me. I took four bottles then and in the fall of the year I took three. I had been treated by a doctor but he gave me an iron tonic and that did not help me. It seemed that the tonic did not have in it what the Vegetable Compound did. That gave me the strength and ambition I needed and I have gained in weight This year before I started to clean house I got fourbottlesof the Vegetable Com pound and am taking it right along. I tell all my friends about it and how much good it does me. They can notice it be cause I have gained in weight I weigh 118 now and do all my work myself again.”—Mrs. Emil 0. Brandenburg, 661 37th Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Wife’s Old Love Affair . Nothing will ever convince me that husbands do not hate old love affairs in the history of their wives. Hus bands have been trained by wives to say they do not care, but they do. If a woman has been engaged to two or three men before she finally lands one, and submitted to their endear ments, it is a bad start. In Sacramento a man quarreled with his stepson because he ate so much butter on his hot cakes, and the row ended in a divorce. The man didn’t object to the but ter; he disliked his wife’s former history; her former husband, the boy’s father. —Designer Magazine.

Wailing Place of the Jews. i (Prepared bj the National Geographic So ciety. Washington, D. C.) Dedication of the Hebrew University at Jerusalem em phasizes the newer aspects of life in a city which was once a religious capital. Since King David, nearly three thou sand years ago, captured Jerusalem and made it his capital, it has been a coveted prize, sought not so much by the nations for its military importance as for its sacredness to three of the world’s greatest religions. For to the Jew and the Mohammedan, as well as the Christian, Jerusalem is “The Holy City.” Throughout Its history the wearied feet of millions of pilgrims from far-distant lands have never ceased to climb over the rocky Judean hills to pay homage and to worship within its sacred walls. To the Jew, as the home of his forefathers, it has al ways been of hallowed memory in spite of the hundreds of years of his exile. To the Christian, Jerusalem, with the surrounding country, is truly “The Holy Land," for It is the land of the Lord’s birth, His ministry, His cruci fixion, His resurrection. Throughout Christendom the names Jerusalem, Mount of Olives, Bethlehem and Gar den of Gethsemane are laden with meaning, even to the smallest school child. To the Mohammedan, Jerusalem is second only to Mecca in sanctity. Repeatedly besieged, captured, and recaptured, practically all of^he great nations of history have held sway over the Holy City—the Israelites, Egyp tians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Assyrians, Romans, Saracens, Crusad ers, and Turks—and Its surrender in the past has nearly always meant the destruction of its buildings and the wholesale slaughter of the population. The treatment which Jerusalem re ceived at the hands of her British cap tors in December, 1918, stands out in strong contrast to her past history of suffering. Realizing the importance of Jerusa lem to the Christians, the Jews, and the Mohammedans, General Allenby so planned his campaign that he cap tured the town without firing a single shell into the ancient walled city. The success of the whole campaign very largely centered around the rail road from the Suez canal which was constructed mile by mile as the army moved forward. Trip Now Made by Rail. Before the war, in going to Jerusa lem it was necessary to proceed by boat from Port Said to Jaffa, thence by rail to Jerusalem, for the trip across the sands of Sanai took about eight days by camel. Today the traveler can go to bed on a comfortable train at the canal, and arrive early the next morn ing in Jerusalem. This quick and comfortable trip has been made possible by the last Cru saders, many of whom sleep beneath the lonely crosses that mark the road from the Suez canal to the gates of the Holy City. The British have many accomplish ments to their credit since they gained control of Jerusalem, but, without ques tion, the greatest achievement has been the bringing of water to the city. Be fore the British occupation the only water in Jerusalem was that which was collected during the rainy season in the dirty cisterns throughout the city and that which was peddled in goatskin water-bags on the backs of men and donkeys. The reservoirs or cisterns are from twenty to thirty feet square and are so constructed that the water from the buildings and streets flows into them during the rainy season. As sani tation in the past has been unknown in the city, the condition ot these cis terns can be imagined, for no precau tion was taken to prevent the filth and dirt of the streets from flowing in with the water. Water has always been the most pre cious thing in Palestine, and particu larly in Jerusalem. Although the Turks ruled the city for more than four hundred years, they had never pro vided an adequate water supply. With in five months after the arrival of the British 320,000 gallons of water were being piped into the city daily. About 15 miles from Jerusalem, out beyond Bethlehem, on the Hebron road, was a great tank begun by Pontius Pi late to supply water to the city. We are told that the expense was so great that when the Roman government learned of it the work was stopped at once and was never completed. The THE BULLETIN. IRWINTON, GEORGIA. tank and an aqueduct from an ever flowing spring to the tank have been restored, and the water is now brought to Jerusalem through a six-inch pipe. The tank holds about 5,000,000 gal lons, and Insures a steady supply. Modern Extensions Planned. Realizing that under a just and hon est administration Jerusalem is likely to have a large increase In population, a general plan has been drawn up for the immediate future. This plan pro vides for modern extensions beyond the walled area and contemplates a more practical style of architecture, which will, however, harmonize with the buildings of the ancient city. Some progress has been made along those lines. As an old jewel must be properly set, so as to bring out all its luster, so will old Jerusalem stand out on the top of the hill, unspoiled by modern hand, towering alone in all her ancient beauty. Much of the oriental charm of tho old city is due to the dark, narrow winding streets, resounding with the babble of many tongues and teeming with endless stream of people gath ered out of every nation under heaven. Many of the streets are ill-paved and end in blind alleys. A number of them run under and through buildings and are lighted by oil lamps. No ray of sunshine or fresh air penetrates these dark passageways. In Jerusalem one sees the pilgrims from all countries, who have come to end their days in the sacred city. Jews are seen by the thousands, in their long, thin robes, which look like dust ers, all with wide-brimmed hats, much like those worn by the Quakers in their early days in America. Mingling with the crowds are Greek, Latin and Armenian priests in bare feet or wearing sandals, and here and there are the sisters from the number less convents. The Moslem women go hurrying through the streets, witli faces completely hidden by long veils. Armenians, Arabs, and Europeans are all rubbing shoulders in the little wind ing streets. Many Sacred Places. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is a very Interesting place, being re markable for the number of supposed ly historic spots in so small an area. Not far from the reputed sepulcher is the Stone of Atonement, where the body of Christ is said to have been prepared for burial. A few feet away is a hole in which the cross is said to have been placed, with two holes beside it for the crosses of the two thieves crucified at the same time, and in another room Is a star inlaid in the floor to mark the burial place of Adam. The most beautiful place in all Je rusalem is Haram-esh-Sherif, “the Place of the Temple.” This area, which Is surrounded by a wall, is the site of Solomon’s magnificent temple. It was a sacred spot even before King David placed his altar there. In the center is the glittering mosque of 1 Omar, one of the richest in the world. It is built over a great rock, the Holy rock, beneath which, according to the Moslems, is “The Well of Souls,” where the spirits of all the Moslem dead assemble twice a week to pray. Mohammed himself once declared that one prayer here is worth a thousand elsewhere. The rock is 59 feet long and 44 feet wide. Upon it the old Isrealites made their burnt offerings, and in the Middle ages the Crusaders erected an altar. One of the spots best known to tourists in Jerusalem is “The Wailing Place of the Jews,” a portion of the old wall erected by David, where for hundreds of years countless thousands have gathered to pray for the restora tion of their kingdom. Now', after nearly 2,000 years of exile, the Jew’s are returning to claim a home in the land of their forefathers. The houses are better built than those of the ordinary Palestine village. The streets are clean and the farms are most creditable. The colonists . have greatly increased the annual har vest of the acres they cultivate, and have demonstrated that Palestine has large agricultural possibilities. The territory of Palestine is about one-sixth the size of England, and be fore the war had a population that has been estimated at about 700,000. Under a capable government, it is be lieved that Palestine can support a population running into the millions, but large sections of the country are i now completely depopulated.

A visitor remarked to one of the town fathers at a lull in the program: “The acoustics are very good, don’t ; you think?” ‘‘They ought to be,” replied his host. “The florist’s bill was enough to run up the taxes for every one of us.” Making It Clear Two eMerly men, both extremely deaf, met on a country road.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. -It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in i an interview of the subject, made the as ; tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this । great preparation send ten cents to Dr. ! Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a ' sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.
