They do not throw a false glamour over the tawdry things of life. Rather do they depict the courageous, the healthful, the simple?the true life of the greater number with their adventures, their conflicts of temperament, their fail? ures end successes.

STATU COLOHFD COLLEGE LOSES MAIN DOKMITOKY. ?OffHU Hall Was Vulucd at $30,000 With Hall' or Value Covered by In smiiiiee?-No Students Injured. Orangeburg, Oct. 11.?The main dormitory at the State Colored col? lege, known aa Morrill hall, was de? stroyed by lire at 8:45 o'clock to? night. The building was of wooden construction and five stories in height. It was the last wooden building at the college, the others having been destroyed by tire. Three buildings have been burned in the last four years. Last year the col? lege suffered a heavy loss by fire and two brick dormitories have just been completed to replace burned build? ings. In the building burned tonight were the auditorium, the chemical laboratory, most of the class rooms and 150 rooms for students. None of the students was injured. Some of the furniture was saved and many of the students escaped with a portion of their personal effects. It is thought that the fire was of incendiary origin. It started in an unused room on the fifth floor where there were no electric fixtures or radiator. The building was valued at $30,000 with $15.000 insurance. I'ntil recent? ly the building was Insured in the sum of $25,000, but as it was the only remaining wooden building in the college plant the insurance com? panies some time ago declined to re? insure it for more than $15,000.

Food for Thought?Message to Wo? men from One Who Would Spread the Truth. "It seems ordained that woman shall suffer and bear to the end of time and every woman's life seems to have more than its share of big and j little sufferings," writes Mrs. Nanle I Nicholson of 27 Lake St., Greenville, S. C. "Women are so constituted that they are always in need of some kind of medical attention and if only some i thing could be found, to make and keep women well and strong, some? thing that would not just stimulate ! temporarily but effect a sure steady healing every day, how grateful wo? men would be for it." "And I believe that something has been found in Sulferro-Sol. I myself had the most awful kidney trouble and pains in my back for five years. Every woman knows what this means. 1 "I tried physicians and numberless remedies but kept right on suffering. Then I heard of Sulferro-Sol the won? derful mineral tonic and began using if. In five days I could feel that It was reaching tho seat of my trouble and I gained wonderfully. '"Now after using two full bottles I am woll and free from all, pain and t honestily feel that Sulferro-Sol Is a God-send to suffering women.
