I '? ngrcss. It is suid, will honor the
im rni'iN of Lo ut Col. 0**14 D, Gail
' r? 1. of the Panama Canal Commis
whose death, in the prime <"
life, is attributed to the extraordinary
Ii.bor he was called upon to preform
in the discharge of his duty us en

It is fitting that congress should take
omclal cognlxar.ee of Col. Gail
'id's disllnguislu d serv ices and
gfcsjwld provide for his family In an

\ New ( fire r<s? Drink?I mil Bjg a
Substitute for Liquor.
In the DsSjSgnhtg AmtTican Maga?
zine Henry Detrm rs writes a little ar?
ia !? entitled "A New Cure for l>rink."
Mr. Dctmers says that he has been in
the saloon business for twenty years.
!l is not a drinker himself and none
of Is sons drink. Out of his ex?
perience he recommends the follow?
ing cure for the liquor habit:
"1 found early in my experience
that as a general rule?thoro are ex?
ceptions of course?-a regular consum?
er of fruit wUs not a very good cus?
tomer in my business. On the other
hand, a typical 'booze tighter' seldom
touches fruit. I always kept some
apples behind the bur for my own use,
and I oftm einertim ntally offered one
If a 'star CM'vmer, who almost in
\ urlbly refused. The more 1 looked
into thin matter, the more tlrmly 1
became gWAVbjM at that these two
habits clash. Not caring to have my
b. ya acquire the one I Inoculated them
with the other, and I have found that
the fruit habit early acquired acts as
a perfect antidote to the Ibiuor habit.
I ? KStftejg apples especially be
SJMSSg they are something like bread,
one BjsSMjf tired of them, which is more
than can bs said of peaches, pears,
and orangea. And uppres, thanks to
rold storage, can be had every day
of the school y.\.r.
Why shouldn't tho apple habit bo
cultivated in the public schools at
public expense.' ? bool trustees could
advertise for bids to supply the school.
Then by means of a push-the-button
Contrivance jCSCCd at tin- boys' and
girls' exits each child could get his ap?
ple ax In mar? d out |g play at re
cess time. Two apples a day would
do the work. Children ha\e a veri?
table craving for fruit. 1 have often
het.rd our victims beg another f? '
tti < ore ' An.I if it hsppeni that I
have merely imagined that the fruit
habit offsets the drink habit, 1 know
that two apples a day will have a val?
ued inthnmv on the health, good
temper, and morabi of any child.
' Please understand I have no ax
to Kiind. I do not own a single ap?
ple tree.
"I ha\e never claimed to have dis?
covered that fruit juices act as a li?
quor antidote, although I have talk?
ed It for twenty-the years.
nmr three years ago an article
Sppeare.l Which claimed a Nebras
kan physician as the discoverer of the
theory. The | ??d doctor and I will
never quarr? I over It. Ho can hav.
th.< glory. I do not need lt. 1 am
oidy too a'ud to see that my Mews
have gained some scientific backing.
' If you remove the doSlffC for drink
the RgjWCf Sjsjssglsn will SOlVS itself,
and while psw/gft) may not be banish?
ed the general welfare of the people
will be mu< h improved; and even if
niy scheme is never Adopted I Will
f? el U thou. Hid times repaid for my
puns If I ean only convince the
mothers of our country, those who
have the means to do so. that to im?
plant tin- turn habit |g their i hibln n

OltHHN ATF.d.
Nearly $1,500,000 has been raised
by Red Cmm Christmas Seals in the
last five years, and yet many peo?
ple do not know how this charity idea
originated.

tit of the relief funds for the soldiers'
hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston and
elsewhere. Nearly $1,000,000 was
raised in this way before 1865. After
the war, this method of raising mon?
ey was discontinued In this country
for a generation, although it found
vogue in Portugal, Switzerland, Aus- ,
trla, France, Spain, Denmark, Nor?
way, Kussiu, Sweden and other Eu
ropean countries. There are now
thousands of different types of charity
stamps used in all parts of tho world,
aa tp itiy as forty being used In Aus?
tria for children's hospitals alone.
Slumps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tub?-rcub sis
ornaade in Norway and Sweden In
loot. To Jacob Itiis, the well known
Social worker of New York, and to
Miss Kmtly I*. Bissoll, the energetic
secretary ol tho Delaware itcd cross,
Jointly belong the honor of originat?
ing our American Hed Cross Christ?

est was nmUBSd by the receipt of a
Christmas tuberculosis stamp on a
letter from Norway. Ho published
an article about this o,uoer-looking
stamp In the "Outlook," and suggest?
ed some possible use for it in this
country. Miss BiOBOl at oneo saw an
wi portunity lu re and prepared a
stamp, from the sale of which her
society realized $3,0u0 for tubercu?
losis work. So Impressed was she
w th this success that she induced the
American Hod Cross to take# up the
sale in l'JOS on a national basis.
With very little organization and with
hardly any attempt at careful adver?
tising, the sab) that year brought in,
nevertheless, over $1S5,000 for anti
tuberculosis work in various parts of
tin- United .-?t?te;:, in 1*09, with more
thorough organisation, ths sale was
Increased to $110,000; In 1010 t<?

AN UNUSUAL SUIT.

Saluda, Dec. 5.?On tho ground
that an agent of the Southern Rail
Way company had encouraged others
to attempt to hug and kiss Miss
Emma Rodgors, a 16-year-old girl, a
jury In the Saluda court of common
pleas returned a verdict 01 $1,000
in favor of the young woman. A mo?
tion for a new trial was overruled.
"It appears that Miss ltodgers,
while in the passenger station at
Ward in August last, was mistreated,
and the allegation of the complaint
WKS ?hat the agent of defendant fail?
ed und neglected to give the protec?
tion to the young girl that the law
requires and that, acting in concert
with others, he aided and abetted and
encouraged others to attempt to hug
and kiss the plaintiff. Miss ltodgers
is only about 16 years of age and
was on her way to Granitevllle to
visit relatives when the alleged mis?
conduct and maltreatment occurred.
A verdict for $1,000 was returned
against the railroad.

Horse Show Talk.
Secretary H. T. Mills, of tho Green?
ville Horse Show Association Las writ?
ten to Mr. Geo. D. Shore, proposing
that a horse show circuit he formed
composed of the cities of Camden,
Darlington, Sumter, Columbia, Green?
wood und Greenville. It is proposed
to have the shows in the order named
next spring.
The matter has been referred to
the Chamber of Commerce officers
and directors for their consideration,
and will be discussed at the weekly
meeting of the board of directors
next Monday evening, if the di?
rectorate of the commercial organ?
ization approves of the proposition, as
have several well known horse fan?
ciers, the idea will be taken up at a
mas.; meeting later on.
It is suggested that if the first show
is held at Camden we will be able to
I hold the northern tourists in the
South for all of the shows, and in this
way they will get better acquainted
with our resources ami our people.
Besides horse shows, such as are pull?
ed off in South Carolina, interest and
furnish wholesome and profitable
amusement for thousands of home
people as well. They stimulate inter?
est in breeding of more and better
horses and mules because the horse
shows embrace contests and exhibits
j of riding, driving, draft, farrr. hors I
and mules also.
I One thousand dollar.! oflered in
' prizes would induce some of the
northern exhibitors to enter the con?
tests particularly as there are no
I
horse shows going on in the Xorth
and Bast at that season of the year.
South Carolina would get a lot of
advertising out of these shows and
among the class of people we want to
reach.
The managing secretary of the
Sumter Chamber of Commerce has
suggested that, in the event a horse
show is put on next spring in this
city, it might be a good idea to hold
the annual School Field Day exer?
cises of the Sumter county schools in
this city at the same time the horse
show is going on.
These school Held days are attend?
ed by thousands of the patrons, teach?
ers, trustees, and school children.
While we are at it we could arrange
for an allegorical parade, composed
of the children of the schools of
Sumter city and county.
Other attractions could be added
and It would be no hard matter to
have an annual spring festiva , as It
might b" eailed, in which the peopb
or the city and country districts would
be thrown together for mutual Inter?
est aiiu pleasure.
It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's
tonic. She says further: "Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, 1 do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman's Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman?
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
