To My Swedish friends
Everywhere
I Wish to
Say That
Peruna
Is the Best
Household
Remedy
In the Whole
World.
Mrs. Elm Malvngren, 133 Frederick St., West Manchester, N.
11- , writes; “Every spring and fall for eleven years, I have been
troubled with catarrh in my throat and nose and hoarseness, and I
am very pleased to state that at last I found a medicine, Peruna, from
which I received great benefit, and I will hereafter use and recom
mend it. I always keep it in my house in case of sickness. I recom
mend your medicine to all my friends and every sufferer, as an ex
cellent medicine for colds and for building up strength. We have
many Swedish friends in Boston who use Peruna and think a great
deal of it. If all the Swedish people in this country could know what
an excellent family medicine your_ Peruna is I am sure they would
been it in the home,”

MAETERLINCK ON THE WAR.
To The Herald:
Forgetting that one cannot indict a
nation, Maeterlinck, the poet and phi
losopher, has undertaken to “weigh
guilt” and has tried and condemned
the whole German people. He blames
the essential . spirit of Germany for
the present war and advocates the de
struction or taming of that spirit.
The Maeterlinck version of the war
story would be tragic and hopeless if
It were true, hut fortunately it is not
true. As a .iodge and analyzer of evi
dence our Belgian poet is a failure.
There is not a scrap of evidence that
the German people wanted the war,
whatever may he thought of the act
ions of the military element and the
autocratic government.. The people.
Including their intellectual, religious
and moral leaders, believe that their
gpyernment was driven to fight by
Russian aggression and British jeal
ousy and fear. Had there been time
for reflection and better machinery for
the mobilization of public opinion the
real and true spirit of the nation would
have asserted itself. It is noteworthy
that Maeterlinck says nothing about
governmental diplomatic machinery
lie doubtless understlmates its im
portance. That is why he has indicted
the wrong parties.
No, it will not be necessary to de
stroy or tame the spirit of the whole
tierman people; that spirit is no men
ace to liberty and to civilization. The
war should lead to the liberation of
Thoughts are Sparks
flashes of the mind that decide for success or failure.
The question is, what kind of sparks
does your brain generate?
The brain, like a battery, must be supplied with certain elements to generate
thought properly. These brain elements are water, albumen and phosphate of pot
ash. If any of these are lacking in the daily food, brain and body energy are vitally

Are any lacking? Listen! Water and albumen are plentifully supplied in ordi
nary food, but phosphate of potash—together with other mineral elements—is almost
wholly lacking in white bread and all white flour products.

so essential to perfect bodies and active brains, provides a food at once delicious

A morning dish with cream furnishes POWER for accomplishment that many a
man has come to appreciate.
Common sense goes a long way toward success. To eat right often means to BE

THE COTTON MILLS OF TEXAS.
To The Herald;
Comparatively few people know that
there are 16 cotton 'mills now in suc
cessful operation 'in Texas. One of
these mills, located at Post City and
established by the late C. W. Post, is
unique in the number of processes to
which it submits the cotton. Most
mills are devoted to a single process
or at most two or three. The Post
City cotton mill takes the seed cotton
from the farmer's wagon and carries
It through every process of .manufac
ture until it is converted into sheets
and pillow cases of highest quality.
The cotton Is ginned, spun and woven,
bleached and hemmed, the finished
product being ready for the ultimate
consumer. It is stated that this mill
pays Its women employes from sl2 to
S2O a week, competes in the markets
of the world with the best products of
the eastern mills and makes a hand
some profit under an efficient man
agement. If such a mill Is a profit
able investment in this West Texas
town, it would be well for Texans to
study its methods and management
and plan to establish mills over the
state to handle the biggest money
crop of the state. I write as a former
Texan interested in my native state
and the south.

RAISING THE RATE TO AIKEN.
To The Herald.
I do not know the exact condition
of the finances of the Augusta-Aiken
Railway and Electric Corporation but
I think a mistake is being made to
raise the passenger fare between Au
gusta and Aiken 100 per cent. When
the road was built the fare was fixed
at 25 cents and there should be no In
crease of 100 per cent now. For a
good many years the road has been
operated with apparent satisfaction on

a cent a mile basis and it strikes me
as being a rather late date to be in
creasing it at all and 100 per cent in
crease as being entirely too much even
if any increase is granted. Now that the
road has become a thoroughly estab
lished institution it should be getting
more and more travel each year ami
should also be getting more and more
freight each year.
But suppose the freight and pas
senger business is at a standstill, not
gaining and not losing, this Is no time
to be talking about raising passenger
rates —to any such extent as is being
planned. The business certainly is not
showing any failing off from year to
year.
I do not know what is the solution,

WHAT LITERATURE 18 OB
SCENE?
To the Herald;
I have the following from West
Publishing Company, which treats
very interestingly to me on Just what
is obscene literature:
Judge Hand of district court, south
ern district, New York, In the case
of United States v. Kennedy, 209 Fed
eral Reporter, 119, in overruling a
demurrer to an indictment for the
publication of obscene matter in a
book, applies the old test as to what
is "obscene, lewd, or lascivious,” lie
cause that test, is so firmly estab
lished. He says, however:
“I hope it Is not improper for me
to say that the rule as laid down,
however consonant it may lie with
mid-Victorian morals, does not seem
to me to answer to the, understanding
and morality of the present time, as
conveyed by the words, ‘obscene lewd
or lascivious.’ I question whether In
the end men will regard that as ob
scene which is honestly relevant to
the adequate expression of innocent
ideas, and whether they will not be
lieve that truth beauty are too
precious to society at large to be
mutilated in the interests of those
most likely to pervert them to base
uses. Indeed It Hems hardly likely
that we are even today so lukewarm
In our Interest In letters or serlouH
discussions as to he content to reduce
our treatment of sex to the standard
of a child's library In the supposed
Interest of a salacious few, or that
shame will for long prevent us from
adequate portrayal of some of the
most serious and beautiful sides of
human nature. That such latitude
gives oportunity for its abuse Is true
! enough, there will he as there are,
i plenty who will misuse the privilege
! as a cover for lewdness and a stalk
ing horse from which to strike at
purity; but that Is true today, and
J only Involves us In ths same question
jof fact which we hope that wo have
the power to answer.
“Yet, if the time is not yet when
men think innocent all that which Is
honestly germane to a pure subject,
however little It may mince Its
words, still 1 scarcely think that they
would forbid all which might corrupt
the most corruptible, or that society
Is prepared to accept for Its own lim
itations those which may perhaps be
necessary to the weakest of Its mem
bers. If there be no abstract defini
tion, such as I have suggested, should
not the word ‘obscene’ he allowed to
Indicate the present critical point in
the compromise between candor and
shame at which the community may
have arrived here and now? If let
ters must, like other kinds of conduct,
he subject to the social sense of what
Is right, It would seem lhat a Jury
should In each ease establish the
standard much as they do In casea of
negligence. To put thought in leash
to the average conscience of the time
Is perhaps tolerable, hut to fetter it
by the necessities of the lowest and
least capable seems a fatal policy."

EOIBON TO BEE BUBMARINE.
Washington, D. C,—Thomas A, Kdl
son, whose genius has contributed in
many ways to the efficiency of the
United States navy, will Inspect a
modern American battleship and sub
marine, for the first time, next Satur
day. Secretary lambda Saturday will
accompany the Inventor to New York
to look over the battleship New York
and a sub > nrlne which will lie or
dered to New York for that purpose,
Nero has watched his Rome burn to
a cinder beneath the encircling folds
of a circus tent, Pompeii has fallen
to ruins In the scattered sawdust of
the ring and Cleopatra taken her last
look at Egypt Just before the clown's
entry for the big arentc numbers. And
now, the wise King Solomon and the
Quern of Sheba have been made the
hero and heroine of a circus spertaclo
surrounded with all the gorgeous pa
geantry and lavish costumes that the
wealth and Ingenuity of master show
men can devise.
The good old public like some things
all the time. One of these Is the spec
tacle and It must be "massive.” ir It
1s under canvas the public want it
just as much as It does the clowns, the
elephants or the beautiful lady rider
In pink and fluffy tarletons who, with
her spangles and smiles, seems the
quintessence of fairyland.
And so Ulngllng Brothers' are this
season featuring a mammoth spectacle
production wherein the wisest of klngH
Is the center of the most glittering ar
ray of pantomimic magnificence ever
offered in clrcusdom. Planning a spec
tacle such as that which will he seen
in Augusta when the shows of the
famous five brothers exhibit here next
Saturday is a tremendous task. It
means the massing of more than a
thousand actors and hundreds if
horses Into great ensemble groups.
Fortunately the show grounds have
not the limitations of the theatre stago
and, for the purpose of roofing their
gigantic production, Rlngltng Brothers
have had made a specially constructed
tent measuring 529 feet In length by
280 feet In width the largest streten
of canvas ever carried.
"Solomon ad the Queen of Sheba"
is produced under the persona) direc
tion of Al. Ulngllng, assisted by a
corpse of stage managers headed by
Ottokar Bartlk, ballet master from the
Metropolitan Grand Opera House. The
spectacle Is made a part of the elrciib
program and opens the afternoon and
evening performances. Its pageants
are marvels of brlUancy and the pro
cessions presented when Solomon and
Sheba's queen vie with one another
in their contest for supremacy In
riches are said to he the most remark
able displays of their kind ever seen
In America.
A gigantic wordless play enacted
upon a stage bigger than that of a
hundred ordinary theatres, it has been
pronounced the most magnificent spec
tacle ever presented In America. It
requires a cast of 1,260 characters, a
ballet of 300 dancing girls, and a cara
van of camels. It depicts the glory
of Solomon and the beauty of Balkis
In a succession of scenes that picture
the pomp and splendor of ancient
Israel with strict regard for historical
accuracy.
Five trains are required to transport
the wonders of Rlrigllngvllle, and one
entire section Is loaded with special
scenery, costumes, accessories and,
electrical effects used In the "Solomon i
and the Queen of Sheba” production.
There is a chorus of a thousand voices I
and 90 musicians augmented by a ca
thedral organ. The grand procession- I
al, in which Solomon goes to the gutes
of Jerusalem to greet Sheba's queen j
Is s pageant of grandeur enlisting the 1
entire cast of characters, almost 100
horses, elephants and correctly ca-j
parlson*-d desert camels.
