SILK FHOM I*. S. FOK KISMA.
Veil for Ka'aha at Mecca, Arabia,
Will Xeetl 1,193 Founds.
The British government has just
advertised for bids on silk for the
Holy Veil. This annual gift has
done more than anything else to keep
Egypt loyal to England and deaf to
Turkey.
When Turkey sent fanatics
thi<oughout Egypt to stijr up a
"holy war" tse natives pointed to
jthe Holy Veil as evidence of England's
understanding and sympathy with
Mohametanism.
Again the time for the making of
the veil has come, and America has
been invited to help supply the raw
silk, of which 1,193 pounds are
needed.
The Holy Veil is used for the covering
in Mecca, Arabia, of the Ka'aba,
a building almost forty feet cube,
into the southwest corner of which is
built a small black meteroic stone, a
j little larger than the size of a man's
head, reported to have been given to j
Abraham by the Archangle Gabriel.
The Ka'aba, except for about fifteen
days in the year, is covered
from sight by a veil. In Mahomet's
life, and for some years afterwards
this veil was made of a striped Yemon
cloth.
But when the Mahometan caliphs i
rose to wealth and power such as i
Haroun-al-Raschild of "Arabian |
Nights" fame it became the custom I
of the caliph to present each year a j
marvelously beautiful brocaded silk;
veil to cover the entire structure.
The British government follows
the tradition of the Mohometans,
and the entire veil is made by native
Egyptians who are hajji, or believers j
who have made the pilgrimage to j
Mecca.
An official of the government ac-!
companies the veil till it is nearly at i
its destination.
On three occasions during the last i
thirty years, silks prepared in Ameri- j
ca have been used in part for the
weaving of the Kisma.
Matches and Other Articles Barred.

UMIH ASLEEP
And Was Ron-Down, Weak and
Nervous, Says Florida Lady.
Five Bottles of Cardni
Made Her WelL
KAtnieen, *ia.?Mrs. jjanas ?rme,
of this place, says: "After the birth
of my last child...I got very much
run-down and weakened, so much
that I could hardly do anything at |
alL I was so awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and in a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
about my taking CarduL He
said, 'It's a good medicine, and good
for that trouble', so he got me 5 bottles...
After about the second bottle I
felt greatly Improved.. .before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it,
however, this poor circulation disappeared.
My strength came back to
me and I was soon on the road to
health. After the use of about 5 bottles,
I could do all my house-work
and attend to my six children besides."
You can feel safe in giving Cardu!
a thorough trial for your troubles. It
contains no harmful or habit-forming
drugs, but is composed of mild, vegetable,
medicinal ingredients with no
bad after-effects. Thousands of women
have voluntarily written, telling of
the good Cardui has done them. It
should help you, too. Try it E 74

y Question
^ is as much how to keep it as
M how to get it. What is the
II use of striving to acquire it
|| if it is going to be a source
of worry. The Enterprise
Bank answers the question
of how to keep money perfectly.
An account there means
absolute safety for your cash
and freedom from worry for
you. Open an account and you
can give all instead of half
2 your mind to your business.
