No doubt you can relate glibly to any one who will listen just how this war originated and just how it could have been avoided. But can you, even to your own mind, explain just why you do not get on better with your fel low men? There died, recently, in New York, under tragic circumstances, a still young woman who was reared in a Christian home, accustomed to attend ing divine service twice evfcry Sunday and who said grace always at her own table. She was an only daughter and her parents possessed a comfortable fortune, and she was reared with every luxury. Yet she early developed a quarrelsome nature which was not con trolled by her parents, who, because she was an only daughter, and gifted with beauty and intellect, allowed her to dominate them. The mother was quick tempered and the home became a scene of continual discord. This Christian born and reared child of good fortune rapidly de veloped into a home tyrant. She mar ried and became the sort of wife that she had been a daughter. Her parents died literally and actually of broken hearts. * The young woman, after degenera ting mentally and morally, through her selfishness and lack of self-control, ended her life by suicide. All this was done in a land of peace. It is sadder than any of the tragedies of war. GERMANY WILL OBSERVE SIIAKESPEARE'S ANXIVERSARY By Associated Press Washington, April 19.

Haskin [Continued From Editorial l'age] Ing. Dr. Knapp had to build up the ; rudiments of commerce before he could do anything for agriculture. He began by stimulating the people in every way to put their products on 1 i the market, and to raise "money; 1 crops." Once some people came to him for i a contribution toward holding a bazar in order to make money for a neigh- ! 1 borhood church. He asked them \ i what they would sell at the Ijazar. J j They said they would make things to | ■ sell. Dr. Knapp saw his chance to ! | get in a lesson in practical economics. ! | He pointed out that if members of the: community made things, sold them to 1 each other, and used the money for a I I community enterprise, they were pro ducing exactly nothing. Their time ! was wasted. He therefore made his I contribution only on the condition , that it bo used to plant the ground j where, the church was to be built in cotton. All the neighbors were to ] help care for the patch. When the cotton was harvested the proceeds would be devoted to a building fund. Dr. Knapp's project carried and the whole community had a practical demonstration of how to raise and market money crops. Dr. Knapp also distributed high grade seed corn, and persuaded the [ farmers to plant it by promising to buy all they raised at two dollars a! bushel. He never had to pay this! price because all the other farmers ! were envious of the tall, heavy crop which grew from the "fancy" corn, i; and promptly bought all that was j harvested for seed. So corn planting \ spread apace, and already the farms I were reaching up the hillsides and out I of the bottoms. The cotton business got its big!, boost when some young men with!; money came South loking for planta- h tions They went first to the famous Albemarle county, and asked the price ' of the rich cotton lands in that State. They found they could buy all they , wanted for one or two hundred dol lars an acre; but they had been in- ' structed to pay only twenty. So they i went to the sand hills, where the soil seemed much the same, and bought: great tracts of the rolling uplands. I Here, to the amazement of the natives, they covered hundreds of acres with growing cotton. Other men with capital followed, and also others without capital. Both clases gener ally succeeded. Cotton became the money crop of the sand hills. The most romantic incident in the ' up-building of the hill country, how- 1 ever, was the taming of the soupper- 1 nong grape. , This sweet and juicy I fruit is a native of the swamps and 1 ' creek bottoms in the sand hill coun- 1 try. Its vines tangle themselves over 1 vast acres and bear great quantities 1 of the fruit, which is pale pink and I' grows in clusters of three. The old- I time Scotch settlers quickly acquired j a fondness for this delicious wild grape j 1 and transplanted it to their door-| 1 yards. Nearly every homestead had' l its souppernong vine somewhere in 1 ' the yard, from which the fresh fruit j 1 was gathered and eaten. Some of i 1 these vines covered almost an aero I of ground, and produced far more grapes than the family could use; but, no one ever thought of marketing s them. They are extremely perishable, and too sweet, to preserve with sugar. CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears y? j Signature of Georgia Startles Country With Great Blood Medicine Drives Out Rheumatism, Malaria, Catarrh and All Impurities that Affect Skin, Nerves and Organs of the Body. The Day of Arsenic and Mer cury Gone Forever. Scientists Discover Botanical Antidotes (or Blood Disease. In one of the greatest private laboratories in the world there is prepared a remarkable medicine known as S. S. S. And an army of men and women bear testimony to its marvelous effect in blood diseases. There is not a stage or condition of any ! form of blood disease but what a similar case has been completely overcome, utterly banished and the entire blood supply, the tissues, the mucous surfaces, the bones, the joints, the mouth and throat, the hair and scalp, the eyesight—all have recovered their normal state of health by virtue of this won derful S. S. S. And these facts have been put to the most j severe tests—they have withstood the stern er test of all—the test of time—S. S. S. hav ing been the standard for 50 years. They have met the most rigorous, the most Searching of all blood tests—die scientific and accepted Wasserman test. And these wonderful results have been accomplished by a scientific method that has completely overthrown the vicious and de structive use of mercury, iodide of potash, arsenic and other mineral poisons. A New Era Dawns. To what extent articular rheumatism, loco motor ataxia, neurasthenia, and pernicious j anemia owe their origin to the use of min eral drugs is a m a 'Ac r of speculation. And yet the wonderful Si S. S. not only drives the impurities out of the blood but so repairs the functions of assimilation and elimination throughout the body that the destructive in fluences of even the mineral drugs are over come. Tlie materials of which S. S. S. is made, are gathered by experts and the great Swift laboratory has been visited and com mended by men of national fame, both in statesmanship and in business life. Not one ounce of mineral drugs enters this famous laboratory. The medicine is prepared from ! the native roots; the virgin elements are extracted by a comprehensive and scientific process; ayd thus is given to the world the greatest antidote for blood disease to be found anywhere on the face of the earth.

German Who Took Ship by Himself Gets Life Sentence For Piracy Wilmington, Del., April 19. —With out showing the slightest emotion, Ernest Schiller,alias Clarence Reginald Hudson, the German pirate who sin gle-handed took charge of the British steamship Matoppo and compelled the crew to run her into Lewes, stood in the Federal court yesterday afternoon and received a sentence of imprison ment for life, after pleading guilty to a charge of piracy. Schiller left for Atlanta last night in custody of Mar shal Farry and a deputy. J Schiller appeared almost relieved, as he received nis sentence from Judge | Bradford, his one fear still being that he might be turned over to the British I authorities. Before boarding the train i for Atlanta to-night, Schiller made , this statement: : "I want my friends to know there ■ was no motive of robbery, when I cap- J tured this steamship. It was for the ! cause of Germany and in revenge against England. I wanted to show them up. I could prove through my friends in New York, that it was my aim to blow up the ship, but nobody helped me, because they were dubious of me and my plan. I think they may have believed I was an English i spy." Scandalous Notes From Anonymous Writer Defame Phila, Society Women Special to the Telegraph Philadelphia, April 19.—A number of Philadelphia women, prominent in society, particularly some residing in the immediately vicinity of Ritten house Square, have been annoyed by annonymous defamatory, letters late ly. Several fashionable residents along the Main Line also have received scurrilous missives in the same hand writing. The matter has been placed in the hands of James B. Cortelyou, chief post ottlce Inspector here, and a vain effort made to identify the writer of the letters. This task has proved dif ficult, the envelopes showing that they were mailed at various parts of the city and invariably in street boxes. The letters, it is said, were, without doubt, written by a woman, who has made an effort ta disguise her real penmanship. Members of one well-known family j have been so annoyed that the services lof a leading lawyer were enlisted. A | daughter in this family , was married in New York some time ago to a weli | known young man. Prior to the wed : ding and following it the letters came regularly, many absurd statements be ing made regarding the bride. JEROME E. TOOMEY DIES Newport, Pa., April 19.—Jerome E.

C., April 19.—Indig nant resentment of the aspersions cast upon the officers and men of the or j ganized niilitia by Senator Borah, of . Idaho, in a speech delivered in the 1 Senate Saturday, was yesterday voiced 5 by members of the House. 1 Jlr - Borah's charges that the money . appropriated by the Federal govern >j ment for the militia had been wasted " j and in many cases "embezzled" were " | \ehemently denied and when the army I j bill again comes before the House in i the form of a conference report sev- L eral members stand ready to give the , lie to these statements and back up s their assertions with absolute proof. Representative James Hay, cliair ' man of the House committee on mili i I tary affairs, called up the Division of II Military Affairs of the War Depart , ment yesterday and asked for the r truth regarding Borah's charges. He . was informed that every dollar appho r priated by the Federal government for j the militia had been expended accord r ing to law, that every dollar had been accounted for. that the "waste" com plained of by the Senator covered the entire period from 1898 to the present time. The accusations of "embezzle ment" have no foundation whatever In fact. Representative Thomas S. Crago, of Waynesburg, Pa., who until within a | few weeks ago was lieutenant-colonel of the Tenth Regiment, National Guard of Pennsylvania, emphatically denied the aspersions cast upon the ' National Guard by Senator Borah.

Recent astonishing cases of Eczema and other skin afflictions show there is no ques tion but what we now hare the best treat ment for this distressing plague. And whether it be the dry or weeping form, even though it has driven you to dis traction and has defied a hundred salves and lotions, you want to be cured. Nature puts some marvelous healing elements into the products from which is extracted S. S. S. These sre readily assimi lated, they get right into the blood and actually bathe all these tissues with a most wonderful healing influence. It is a well-known fact that the body strives to throw out through the skin in the form of perspiration the excess of salts and acids that accumulate in the blood. When you take a hot bath you know how the sweat stings if it drops into the eyes. This same effect goes on at various different spots on the skin and results in sores, rash, ia!t rheum, terrible itching and a general plague of the skin. Now, the action of S. S. S. is just as if you were continually perspiring only there is no visible evidence of the fact. The remedy enters the blood through the in testines and in five minutes is hard at work. It follows the law of circulation by which, having Akvcd its purpose, it seeks out an outlet and at once is caught in the myriad of small blood vessels that reach the skin pores all over the body. A wonderful work is now going on, instead of these poisons collecting in the form of crusts and irritating, itching eczema, they dry up and new blood elements, made possible by S.
