FARHERSI_JSING'IELEPHONES
Practically Every Section of the South
Is Now Covered With Rural
: Telephone Lines.
Atlanta, Ga.—The farmers of the
South made gratifying progress in de
veloping rural telephone systems dur
ing the past year, according to reports
of the Southern Bell Telephone com
pany covering the seven states in
which it operates.
On December 31, 1911, there were
29,537 farmer’s telephones connected
with exchanges and toll stations of
the Bell system in_ these _statesg -as_
follows: i ®
AIRDAMA ..., ..es soocPiein P 1246

Vlrginia .... cees seess eees 2171
West Virginia ..ee coccesss oo 6,507
Florida ...... <ies ‘o s aoegae 288
Of these telephone 7,975 were add.
ed during the year 1911, an increase
of 30 per cent. over the year 1910.
A feature of particular value to the
fariers was Instituted dufing the
past year through the _co-operation of
the United States weather bureau and
the:.telephone company.. . The 'daily
weather reports are furnished to”the
telephone company every day, and at
a given hour in the morning the re
port is read to the subscribers on
every rural line. Farmers who' can
not respond to the signal may call
the operator-at any time and secure
the report.
Practically every section =of the
South is covered with rural telephone
line, and it is possible for farmers in
remote places to communicate quick
ly with the nearest market. The
growth has been rapid, but telephone
experts declare that rural telephone
development in the South is in its in
fancy and a greater growth is antic
ipated during the year 1912.
GIVE RAILWAY SCHOLARSHIP
Southern Railyway Will Award Agri
cultural Scholarships to™ Deserv
ing Boys in Each Etate.
Washington.—President Finley of
the Southern Railway company an
nounced that, as a means of supple
menting the extensive work beiny
done by the company for the advance
ment of agriculture in the territory
traversed by its lines south of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers and east
of the Mississippi, it has been decided
to inaugurate Southern railway schol
arships in ‘the state agricultural col
lege in each state traversed by the
lines of the company.
Mr. Finley will -take this -matter
up at once with the president of each
agricultural college concerned, asking
him to permit the company to pay
for the scholarships and. to select the
young men to beneted by them. - The
scholarships, which are to cover the
full four-year course in -agriculture,
are to be awarded in aceordance with
plans to be agreed upon betwécen the
presidents of the colleges and the
railway company and are to be given
to young men residing in counties
traversed by lines of the company,
and who would itherwise be financial
ly unable to avail themselves of an
agricultural college training.
As soon as arrangements have been
definitely perfected, full details as to
the scholarship or scholarships to be
awarded in each state will be an
nounced. ;
LITERARY NOTES.
HE COMES UP SMILING.
By Charles Sherman. Illustrated by
Arthur William Brown. $1.25 net.
The Bobbs-Merrill Company, In
dianapolis.
Bringing with it the fragrant breath
of June, with entrancing glimpses of
open sky and open road, one of the
first of the early spring books has
arrived. It is called “He Comes Up
Smiling,” and this title has been
happily chosen. In three words it de
picts the character of the hero and
also describes the happy frame of
mind the reader will be in once’ he
has read this charming story.
Scintillating with humor that is re
freshing, filled with quaint aphorisms
that are anything but trite, this book
occupies a field all by itseif. One in
stinctively expects to nd in every new
book some resemblance to a previous
work. Not so with “He Comes Up
Smiling.” Hackneyed situations seem
to be unknown to Charles Sherman,
whose name is on the-title page, or
at least he steers so clear of them
that one is surprised at his utter
lack of imitation. He proves that
there must be something new in the
world after all,
“Do you think so?” replies Mr.
Ennywun, “Well, we must attend to
that at once. Er—where is it locat
ed? 1 want to make a note of it.”

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK
“My troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and a kind of smarting pain.
It took me mostly- all -over my back:
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass of
pimples ‘which would burn and itch at
night so that I could hardly stand it..
This condition kept getting worse and ‘
worse until my.back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open i
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood. ; ‘
“I tried various remedies-and salves
for nearly three years and I was notf
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep |
on my back or lean on a chair. I was |
finally given a set of the Cuticura!
Remedies and inside of two weeks I
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months’ time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now I am in gocd health and
no sign of any skin diseases and I
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Reme
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not be without
them.” (Signed) W. A. Armstrong,
Corbin, Kan.,, May 26, 1911. ‘Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,
a sample of each, with 32-page book,

“Mamma, I had the nicest dream,”
said little Mary, aged six, just after
waking in the morning. e

“That felt pretty good, didn’t i#?”
the mother remarked.

You Look Prematurely Old
The woman who- “keeps house” has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
a heavy burden. .
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan’s Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them. :
Women are subject to lidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it. :
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of “bjues,”~and
other troubfes often thought to be pecilliar
to the-sex,.are”found’ frequently im-kidrey
disease. When any one-of. these-ills ap
pears, together with a discolored condi
tion of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty: or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak;
and be quick to help them.
Doan’s Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times: when- kigney disease ‘means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain- no poison
ous, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs.
Doan’s are harmless for children too.

WOMEN AND HEALTH. ‘
Women are beginning to realizg
more fully that good health is not: to:
be found in the use of cosmetics ‘g'flf
face “powders. The appearmicCe of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface. -
Most important to the health of ev
ery ‘'waman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti
pation or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple ' laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb 'the
whole system without affording more
thap temporary relief.
“* Bm+Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste agd positive in
its effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func
tions without assistance.
Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in 50c and
SI.OO bottles. If you have never tried
it, write for a sample to Dr. W. B.
Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Monti
cello, Ill.; he will gladly send a trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.
The mind has more room in it than
miost people think, if you would but
furnish the apartments.—Gray.

of the bladder set in. I had cutting, drag

sides and soon got into a state of weak
ness, languor and general depression. My

pain. I became so weak and sick, that I
was Kflt to bed and “stayed there threas
months under doctor’s treatments. I grew
worse constantly, and my family was en
tirely discouraieli. Beginni;gi with. Doan’s
Kidney Pills, I was surprised at their ef
