I think I would have died had I not found oat what a good friend to -women Cardui Is. "I suffered a great deal. I had a number of faiuting spells, and . . . would be obliged to lie in bed a week or two at a time. I never liked to lie in bed because It Interfered so with ray work. The swimming in my head was nearly continuous. I could not stoop down It would make me so dizzy. I think I used Cardui off and on for two or three years, using In that time bout 8 or 10 bottles.

It was a hot hummer day with that leculinr kind of heat common to the Atlantic slope. Five big, stout gentle men were going to the top of a New York building. The sweat was pour ing from their foreheads, and their handkerchiefs looked like Coney Island oatning-suits aung out to ary. "i wisn tutrix ua tx utrtri aiuuu in nii. cicu- tor," remarked one fat gerum. "Yes, boy, you ought to haveb eg of heer aboard this elevator," chimed in anoJier..

UNDER THE CAPITAL DOME Interesting Review of the Doings of the General Assembly During the Past Week. Many Important Bills Are Introduced in Both Houses. Raleigh. The House passed, without amend ment, the municipal bill providing ma chinery for city government under the constitutional amendments and passed the substitute composite bill made up of the Pegram anr. tije Bre nizer bills, the substitute being that worked out by the joint committee of the House and Senate. There f as an effort, through amendments, Mi Grier and Doughton to change the basis of elections on the proposition to change forms of government, but proposed amendments were voted down, the roll call being 48 to 52. The bill then passed its readings. The Senate took up as a special or der the three million dollar bond is sue bill from the committer on appro priations. In explaining the bill Chair man Holderness said that with this bond issue added North Carolina will owe only one-sixth of one per cent of its property values.

It is pro vided that the State School for the Blind at Raleigh may sell its presenJ school property and Dulia on tne, iear Raleigh purchased for the 'jair pote. Amendments Proposed. Thero was an amendment proposed by Harding to tte $175,000 from the proposed loan find for school build ings and put it in buildings for the school for the blind.

Cameron would amend to prevent the sale of the Caswell Square occupied by the present blind school buildings arl issue additional bonds for buildings,. Oates askrd for time for a confer ence. They returned to the chamber with an adjustment whereby the ref ernce in the bill as to the blind school was stricken out and the bill then passed its final reading. Constitutional Amendments. L Jo" Bills to amend tha Constitution Dvssed the Senate in rapid succession subject to ratification by the people. They were the Scales bill for initiative I and referendum; the Governor Bickett measure 'to exempt from taxation notes and mortgages to the amount of $3,000, when given for purchase of farm homes and the Oates bill to amend the constitution to assure six months' schools for every county. One other, that to limit state officers to two successive terms of office and county officers to three terms (an other Governor Bickett proposition) went to the table because passage was useless since the house had tabled a duplicate. House bills passed in the following order. Amend the law as to audit of Wilkes county books; prohibit sale of public bonds without notice; pre vent accidents at railroad crossings; amend the Wilkes financial act; amend Chapter 19G, 1913, as to Chatham coun ty; include Mecklenburg in Statewide primary act; repeal 1903 Pasquotank road law; salaries for Stokes officers and abolish treasurer; allow 50 cents per day increase and railroad fare for laborers in Legislature; probate and validate certain instruments.

Robeson, and many others. MIC BILL The House refused to reconsider the newspaper advertising bill that was tabled after numerous amend ments were offered. The vote was by roll call, 48 to 51, the demand for roll call being by Representative Brum mett.

The debate on the Turner bill to regulate management of state nfte oners was the feature In the Senate. Senator Turner spoke at length, ad vocating his bill and said, among other things, that the present system was a disgrace to the civilization of the state and that when the investiga ting committee made its report the people of the state would demand action. The bill provides for sanitary quarters. It would eliminate altogeth er corporal punishment. It divides the prisoners into three classes and is, ac cording to Senator Turner, modeled after advanced methods of conviot management. The bill passed by a safe majority but went over one day on objection from Senator Burgwyn, who wanted to await the report of the Investigating commitee. The Roberts bill for the Aurstaliau ballot in the county of Buncombe aroused the house to forensic battle. It went through, however, The house took under considera tion and finally passed by a good ma jority the statewide bill for the cer tification of first grade teachers through a state board of examiners, six in number three men and three women who are to be also the con duct.;? of the teachers' institutes and carrying an appropriation of $10,000 for the maintenance of the depart ment. v Senator Holderness, chairman of the committee on appropriations, introduc ed a bill to provide a $3,000,000 bond issue to provide for permanent im provements to state institutions, and $500,000 of the issue to constitute a permanent loan fund for aiding in the construction of buildings for element ary and high school buildings through out the state. The house passed the bill to provide tax levies by the counties to pay debts; issue bonds for roads and maintenancs and improvements of roads in the several counties; authorize Kinston tc issue school boils; enable cities and towns to levy school taxes; amend the law was to planting oysters; make permanent marriage and family re cords; salaries for Pitt officers; auth orize suspension of work on Atlantic & Northern Railway five years; regu late Washington town primaries; amend Bertie primary law; terms of court fori.Bertie. The Senate tcSVyip the Murphv boiler inspection Vhich had pass ed the house providing for one inspec tor to work under the direction of thi State Commissioner of Labor and had been amended in the senate commit tee to provide for six inspectors. Sen ator Linney, of Rowan, advocated and explained the bill. Senator Gough thought there was a joker somewhere and suspected it was making, a lot of new and needless jobs for somebody. There was a roll-call vote and the bill was killed on second reading 16 to 29. . I There were great numbers of mer- chants in the lobbies interested in the action the house would take on the ' clause of the revenue bill that impos- 1 ed a tax cn the use of coupons and : tradiag stamps in stores. The m?r- i chants had wanted a prohibitive tax j on these "evil practices," but they re garded the clause the committee had put in the revenue bill as merely a revenue raiser for the larger mer chants using them to continue the coupons or trading stamps. The pro posed tax was $5 for towns of 2,500 inhabitants and $2 for each thousand additional population. The Senate received from Chief Justice Walter Clark a special state ment in response to the resolution of the Senate asking a ruling as to whether the constitutional amend ments took from the Legislature th3 rights to pass bills involving exten sion of corporate limits of cities and towns. The court unanimously holds that the Legislature retains thi3 right, thereby enabling the committee to cut out the troublesome clause of the municipal government bills as to this phase of city government and proceed with the rounding out, of the bill as it is to be offered for final passage in the Legislature. The Senate passed a great number of local bills including: Extend muni cipal suffrage in Bryson City; encour age development of "Western Caro lina;" three additional trustees for Appalachian Training School; empow er Cleveland commissioners to pay Shelby for street improvements; ad ditional members of the Madison board of education. Senator Bernizer had passed a bill to repeal the Hutchison bill as to graves in Mecklenburg. A bill by Senator Turner provides for an r "tion in Statesville on ex tension of the town limits. CEASAR GONE IS TMtEH H DEATH PROMINENT COTTON MILL MAN DIES AT HOME IN GREEN330RO. HEART FAILURE WAS CAUSE Was Head of One of Largest Cotton Mill Paints in South. Greens boro's Wealthiest Citizen. Greensboro. Ceasar Cone, presi dent of the Cone Export & Commis sion Co. and Proximity Manufactur ing Company, Greensboro's wealthiest and best known citizen, died at his home of heart trouble here, age 5S years. Though he had been 111 for nearly a week and his family had known for the last 24 hours that his condition was critical, people of the city generally did not know of his illness, and the news of his death came as a terrible shock to the city. Mr. Cone was a nati ve of Johnstown, Pa., but when he was 12 years of age the family went to Baltimore. He came to Greensboro in 1896 with his brother, Moses H. Cone, who died a few years ago, and they entered the cotton manufacturing business. The beginning of the great Cone mills was on a modest scale, but they spread rapidly, until now the mills constitute one of the largest systems in the south and they make one fourth of the denims produced in the world. Mr. Cone was interested in a num ber of other enterprises and was counted as one of the richest men in the state. He was also active in every movement for civic and social prog ress, liberal and generous 'to a large degree. He gave to many charitable enterprises. He had been especially liberal in gifts to suffering members of his race in Galicia since the out break of the war. His company's in terest in the matter of schools and social work among its employes had attracted attention throughout the United States. Mr.- Cone is survived by his wife, who was before her marriage a Miss Siegel, member of a prominent New York family, and three sons, Herman, Benjamin and Caesar, Jr. His surviv ing brothers are Clarence N., Solo mon N., Julius W. and Bernard M. Cone, of Greensboro, Dr. S. Cone, of Baltimore, and Dr. Calarbelle Cone, of Germany and one sister, Miss Etta Cone, of Baltimore. A. & M. Is Now A. &. E. Raleigh. The A. & M.

Filth Diseases Decreasing. Raleigh. According to the annual report of the vital statistics depart ment of the State Board of Health for the year 1915, diseases that are due to filth and flies are on the de crease in North Carolina while dis eases due to habits of living, called degenerative diseases, are much on the increase. The death rates to: typhoid fever and diarrheal diseases of babies in 1915, show a decrease of 4f per 100,000 population for typhoid fever and 8.2 for diarrheal diseases over the year before. Rural School Building Grows. Raleigh. During the last year new buildings for 20 rural high schools have either been canstructed or are in course of building and 11 other schools have made provision for new buildings not yet commenced, according to the biennial report of Prof. N. W. Walker, State Instructor of Public High Schools, just made public. The new buildings erected or being constructed cost $285,200, while it is estimated that the proposed constructions will cost $151,000. PROMINENT COTTON MILL MAN OF GREENSBORO DIES. i i Ail I i - -.-.. . ,, . n i I CEASAR CONE. PROVIDE GIG FOOD CROP World Scarcity of Food Stuff Should Prompt Southern Farmers to Pro vide All Food at Home. Baltimore, Md.--'Whether there be wr or peace between this country and Germany, whether war be continued, in Europe for another year or two, or whether peace should come, the de mand for foodstuffs will exceed the supply, both in this country and abroad. The shortage In the world'3 food crops last year, taken in connec tion with conditions created by the war brings us nearer to a famine sit uation in foodstuffs than the world has known in this generation. If the crops i of the country should, by unfavorable weather conditions or by a lessened acreage, be short or a full average yield, we would have almost famine conditions, because we will go into the next crop practically barren of food supplies. Nothing less than a bumper crop rf grain will save us from exorbitantly high prices for wheat and corn next winter. It is important that the whole country should understand this situa tion, bnt it is doubly important that the farmers of the South should under stand it and plant the largest acreage in grain which they have ever had in order to save themselves from having to pay the highest prices they have ever paid for their foodstuffs. Every business man in the south should d all in his power to urge upon southern farmers the planting of grain and the raising of foodstuffs of all kinds this spring and summer. It is hardly possible to predict what may happen to cotton. The price, judged by the world's demand, ought to be high, but in view of the uncer tainties of conditions here and else where, a large cotton crop might prove a misfortune by forcing prices below a fair profit. The sout' might raise too big a cot ton crop for Its own prosperity, but it cannot raise too big a grain crop nor too much livestock. Every available acre should be put into the raising of foodstuffs, into grain, into vegetables, potatoes, and as much attention as possible should be given to livestock, and even to the raising of chickens and to dairying, for the purpose of meeting the home demand for food stuffs. It will be almost a crime for any southern farmer not to provide, during the coming spring and summer, for all of the foodstuffs which his family will need for the next twelve months. Any- thing short of that would be ignoring rcguiating sick, sour, gassy stomachs, every condition which this country Ita mjnjong of cures in indigestion, and the world cenfronts in the lack of dySpepSiaf gastritis and other stomach foodstuffs, and in the certainty of high trouble has made lt fam0us the world prices.
