THE POLK COUNTY NEWS, SALUDA; N. 0. PftPfPTt TA FAT CRUSHED ICE And Was Not Even Allowed Priy ilege of Sitting Up, but Finally Wins Out Kaplan, La. Mrs. Casamear Burk hart, of this town, gives out following for publication: "I feel that I owe my life to Cardui, the woman's tonic. I was married last April, and was. In fairly . good health. Shortly after marriase my health began to fall, and for three long months I was threat- 9 A - 1 enea witn eenous sicxness. . I passed most of, my time in bed, with a nurse at my bedside. At last, 1 was told an operation was neces sary. I was so weak I could retain nothing on my stomach but crushed ice, and was not even allowed to sit up in bed. A friend of mine advised me to use Cardui, the woman's tonic, and they got a bottle for me, as a last resort. After taking Cardui for one week, I was able to be up in my room. After continual use for two months, I was in perfect health, and could do all of my work without tiring. I take an occasional dose of Cardui and Black-Draught now, to keep my system in good condition. Several of my friends are using uaraui witn good results, i am never without it in the house." There's a bottle of Cardui waiting for you at your nearest druggists. Get it and begin taking today. You will never regret it.

Dr. Eliot says: "The practise of England and America is literally cen turies behind the precept of the best thinkers upon education." Is it not humiliating that an American is forced to make such an admission concern ing our most vital American institu tion? What can be done? How can this wasteful school system be speedily remedied so that it fills its real func tion and sends out into the world boys and girls developed according to their individual talents as far as those talents permit? It is a big question, but in my next article, I propose to outline a rational, practical system 6f public education which will serve those ends. Pictorial, Review. HER MOTHER-IN-LAW Proved a Wise, Good Friend. ISdirtyciiy Discovery of Oil Makes Change in Mexican Town. Despite Grimy Evidences of Com - merce Port Still Is Central Ameri can and .Interesting Much N Bustle Evident New York. At last Tampico has be come world known. On that cluster of bungalows, the old church and the Jail built on a sand heap, the eyes of the world are focused. The, little port up the Panuco river, Tampico, ought never to have become a great city. It has none of the in stincts of a city. If only oil had not been discovered the place would be to day as it was 100 years ago a lazy, fly bitten center of indolent Industry. A point at the end of the river con venient for bartering purposes; some where where the Indian women could beach their canoes and exchange their fruits and dye' stuffs' for cloth and gaudy fineiy.; --'.7 Nowadays there are wharves there, and a railway depot. ' Big steamers are alongside the quays and mechanics in dirty blue overalls make the land scape unpleasant to look upon. Where once tnere was.notning out ine suoue murmur of exquisite heat, now there is the noise of locomotives and the jar ring rattle of the gear of unloading steamers. :' Apart from the unlovely evidence of Increasing prosperity, Tampico is still picturesque. Only its water side, Its river front, has been "improved," Be hind the smashing noi3e of the railway J . A. M M ueyut me oia raooie or nouses ana drinking shops and churches remain. The place in its essence, as it were, is still Central American and beautiful. Dirty, yes, but splendidly dirty. The old square remains, and by the square the green and white cathedral and the white painted, dirt incrusted jail. The jail is a romance in itself. It is a place unique. Perhaps the most democratic prison in all the world. There you can t be lodged for some trivial offense drunkenness, for in stance and then perhaps forgotten. If you have no friends or no money, you might remain there for months. Justice or should we call it law? in Tampico is a casual thing. Every thing is a matter of tomorrow the tomorrow which never comes. So that if you happen to be a prisoner without outside influence your stay may be a prolonged one unless you have a few dollars with which to bribe the Jailer. The worst of It is, your fellow prison ers will probably steal your clothes. jjut, in spue or cne wnarves and the railway, the old native market re mains. The people from upriver still come ; downstream In - their dugout canoes and 'barter with the town folk. They exchange honey and sarsaparilla and luscious fruits for pulque, tobacco and cloth. Pulque of course, is the na tive spirit the fermented juice of the aloe which produces quick drunken ness. The little brown skinned, dark eyed children still gambol in happy naked ness beneath the old bridge; and there one still hears the music of the na tive instruments.

The photograph shows some of the soldiers and their tents at Pedro Miguel. the far-off, unspoiled districts of the interior copper colored, straight haired women, shy and beautiful sing their curious songs as they unpack their bundles of fruit, while their men folk sun themselves and discuss cock fights. Yes, by the old bridge in old Tampico one can always find gorgeous pictures ever changing and entranc ing, filled with flashing colors and in finitely brilliant. But, of course, Tampico is impor tant in spite of these things.' It is called the oil metropolis of Mexico. Certainly it is the safest, port'on the Mexican gulf. The place commands most of the commerce of the City of Mexico, and all of that of a vast num ber of mining - camps, and centers of the interior. , ' . " ' American industry and capital have combined; together they. have convert ed a remote, shallow and most treach erous roadstead into an important har bor. , The engineers brought rocks from the mountains 70 miles away and piled them out to sea. They built two great breakwaters, 1,000 feet apart, which extend to a distance of 7, 000 feet into the gulf. Thus, after a million dollars oiS so was spent, Tam pico, from being a little village seven miles up a surf guarded river, became a widely known port. The city is still seven miles up the Panuco river, but now big steamers cross its shattered bar and moor alongside the wharves which front its railway system. The Panuco river is a curious; stream, wide and swift flowing. It winds and twists, and is Instinct with many weird currents. Navigators are not in love with It. As a matter of fact it is easier for big ships to hit oneof its banks than to keep within the fair way. .

Af(er meals I often suffered sharp pains and would have to lie down. My mother often told me it was the coffee I drank at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe headache. "While, visiting my mother-in-law I remarked that she always, made such good coffee, and asked her to tell me how. She laughed and told me It was easy to make good 'coffee when you use Postum. s , "I began to use Postum as soon as I got home, and now we have the same good 'coffee' (Postum) every day," and I have no more trouble.

FULL OF ODDITIES Channel Islands Queerest Part of the British Isles. Owing to Its " Remarkable Climate Flowers and Plants Indigenous to J Southern California Will Be Found There In Winter. London. The Channel islands are fuller hi oddities and anachronisms than 'any other part of the British Isles, which is saying a good deal. The very climate is an anomaly. You find there in winter the flowers and plants that you see in Florida or Southern California pampas grass, palmi:, euca lyptus, magnolias. You may see three story, houses hidden beneath blossom ing; vines. , When London and New York are deep in enow or slush,, you may see acres and fields of jonquils and narcissus, tossing their , golden locks in the breeze. This remarkable climate arises partly from the Gulf .stream, and, in tho case of Jersey, partly from the configuration of the island, which slopes from high cliffs on the North down to sea level on the South shutting off cold winds and making of this little territory a kind of forcing bed. Jersey is famous for five products cattle, fruit, flowers, potatoes and cab bages. The Jersey cattle need no one to speak their praise. The fruits and flowers you may buy, if rich enough, and if not you may admire through the windows of the exclusive shops of Regent street and Bond street. Most of the "bashful young potatoes" of W. S. Gilbert's "Patience," that arrive in time to go with the spring lamb and green peas to the dinner tables of Britons have filled out their jackets in the warm Jersey soil. But like most other things, the Jersey potato Is de generating, if I must believe the old Jerseyman whose cozy parlor behind the Pomme d'Or was my usual evening house of call.

The London museum, re moved from Kensington palace to Stafford house, is twice as interesting as it was, and more. At Kensington there!, was no scope for definite ar rangement. In the noble rooms of Stafford house overlooking the mall it has been possible to follow a chrono logical order and to convey in the cos tumes and the pictures, in the pottery and the weapons, in the books and the thousands of othet local relics, a clear and telling history of London from Saxon times until the present age. The most interesting addition that has been made to the museum 1 was shown in the gold and silver room at a recent private view. It is a case containing 150 jewels of the early sev enteenth century that were found ,by a ! workman two years ago in chalk soil 16 feet beneath the cellar floor of an old house in London. -- There are gold and enamel pendants and rings, enameled gold chains,, a gold and enamel scent bottle set with diamonds and rubies, and a very fine diamond ring, crystal . chalices and other: communion relics, amethysts, sapphires, rubies, garnets and tur quoises. .., Jv.- v'-. ; :' Like the box in which they were found, with the earth all over them, the pearls had decayed. But for the rest the treasures, as one of the visit ors remarked, have the appearance of being so extraordinarily modern that all the gems look as though they might be bought in a Jeweler's shop today. .Three hundred years ago some one must have buried this wonderful cas ket of treasures, hoping for an oppor tunity to secure its safe recovery. That opportunity, never came, and the . ro mance or crime1 that led to its conceal ment .will never be unearthed.

But the rich Lunnon folks do get 'em all now, and it ain't for the likes of us to put fork to 'em." . As for the cabbages, what does the reader say to cabbages on stalks eight or ten feet high? He will probably say that they cannot be the ordinary rotund vegetables that go by that name; yet they are. I suppose it Is the climate and soil that make them go to such lengths, or perhaps the vraic. Whatever it is, I should like to bring them to the notice of Luther Burbank, and he might evolve a cab bage tree say 50 feet high and with a head in proportion.
