This has a world of meaning

Mrs. Blair tells the story of her suf

I had been flooding, cramping and
vomiting for five months and taking
meJicine from as good a doctor as the
country affords, but he did me no good.
I cot tired of doctor's medicine and sent
in the drug store for a woman's medi

I felt like a different woman. I have

INEXPENSIVE SULPHUR BATHS
AT HOME
People travel long distances and
spend large sums of money to secure
the benefits of sulphur springs and
baths because for generations sulphur
has been known to be one of nature's
most valuable curatives unequalled as
a blood purifier. By dissolving 2 to 4
tablespoonfuls of Hancock's Sulphur
Compound in a hot bath you get the
same effect and your system absorbs
the sulphur through the pores of the
skin. For prickly heat and summer
skin troubles of infants and children
use a teaspoonful of the Sulphur Com
pound in a bowl of warm water. This
makes a refreshing bath and quickly
alleviates the pain. Sold by all deal

Historians Get Macon Letters.
The State Historical Commission
has received a gift of an exceptional
ly valuable collection of letters and
papers of Nathaniel Macon to be kept
in the fire-proof cases of the commis

collection is a gift from Miss Laura

are 60 or more letters written to Ma

the United States Senate, which treat
public affairs most interestingly from
the viewpoint of the historian.
There are letters in the collection

Government Buys Mt. Pisgah.
Washington The National Forestry
Commission approved the purchase by
the government of the Pisgah Forest
tract of the Vanderbilt estate near
Asheville, consisting of about S6.700
acres at $5 per acre or a total cost
of $433,551.30.
The tract contains most of the Van
derbilt estate, the Vanderbilt family
retaining only about 400 acres about
Buck Spring Lodge and about 11,000
acres around the family home.
A member of the commission stated
that he considered the Pisgah Forest
tract to be the most attractive forest
in the country and although the price
was high he declared it was the
cheapest property yet bought for for
estry purposes.
The commission took up with Gov
ernor Craig a proposition to have him
secure legislation to have the State of
North Carolina co-operate with the
federal government to make the Pis
gah Forest a national game preserve.
The government will retain the
name Pisgah Forest given the tract by
the Vanderbilts.

London. "From Madrid to heaven,
and in heaven a spyhole to look at
Madrid" sums up in a sentence the
pride of the inhabitants of the Spanish
capital. True, cosmopolitan Madrid,
as it exists today, has lost much of the
old peculiar picturesqueness, but few,
if any, of the great capitals contain
more really handsome buildings, finer
parks, drives and public gardens.
A whole new city has arisen outside
the old boundaries, plaster has given
place to stone and marble, and the
statues, which so plentifully adorn its
plazas, are almost all works of art,
and worthy of their position. Electric
lights and street cars are everywhere.
The viaduct, markets, hospitals, public
buildings of all kinds, the palace now
one of the finest in Europe hotels
and private houses furnished with ev
ery modern luxury, form a veritable
transformation scene, even for those
who remember the capital as recently
as in the time of Isabel II.
In Madrid all roads lead to the
Puerta del Sol, the Piccadilly Circus
of the Spanish capital, on which, or
in whose vicinity, are situated the ho
tels. Ten streets radiate from the
plaza, within which, from morning to
evening, and through the night itself,
the never-resting life of a great part
of the populace wears itself out with
recreation. Noise and disquietude are
its elements of life. You will see mo
tor wagons and clumsy carts drawn
by oxen, the groaning barrel wagon,
newsboys running and shrieking,
crowds promenading ' or sitting and
standing before the cafes a life and
animation of irresistible charm to the
visitor.
All types of Madrid's population may
be seen here, from the bull fighter to
the great legislator. American and
English tourists mingle with the
throng; German commercial travelers
talk business to their customers on
the seats outside the cafes, and one
hears all the languages of Europe
spoken hereabouts.
Near by is the wagon corso. In two
closely crowded rows many gorgeous
and still more simple open wagons,
all with two horses, drive up and down
a good long hour before sunset. In

DISFIGURED WITH PIMPLES
RESENT HINT TO CLEANLINESS
Corfu Villagers Object to Kaiser's
Gift of Soap Entirely Too
Suggestive.
Berlin. Quite a number of the in
habitants of Corfu are either ignorant
or heedless of the proverb, "Cleanli
ness is a good life preserver." Where
fore the bestowal of "surprise" Easter
eggs made of the best German soap
by the kaiser has much incensed the
good villagers.
They are a common gift in the
fatherland, but the recipients in Corfu
resent them as a palpable and uncalled-for
hint
R. F. I). No. 2, Box 46, Matthews,
Ga. "For three years or more I was
troubled with pimples and blackheads.
At first my face would itch and burn
and then the pimples would break out.
They looked almost as if I had meas
les, causing great disfigurement. They
would make my face very red and
sore. Then they festered and came to
a head and large boils would come on
my chin and nose.
"I also had dandruff which caused
my scalp to itch and burn. It itched
and burned so that I had to scratch it
until it was irritated. The dandruff
scaled off and showed plainly in my
hair. It also caused my hair, to
break off and become very thin. I
used several remedies which did not
cure and gave but little relief. After
I received a free sample of Cuticura
Soap and Qintment I began using
them according to directions. I se
cured two cakes of Cuticura Soap and
two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, which
cured me perfectly." (Signed) Miss
Willie M. Walker, July 31, 1912.
