IS IT AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show an Alarming
Increase in an Already Prevail

EXEMPT?

At no time in the history of dis
ease has there been such an alarm
ing increase in the number of cases
of any particular malady as in that
of kidney and bladder troubles now
preying upon the people of this coun-
try.
To, day we o a relative, a friend,
or an acquaintance apparently we'll,
and in a few days we may be grieved
TO learn of their serious illness or
sudden death, caused by that fatal
type of kidney trouble Bright's
disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes adj
vanced into acute stages before the
afflicted is aware of it's presence :;
that is why we read Of so many sud.
den death of prominent business
and professional men, physicians
and others. They have neglected to
stop the leak in time.
While scientists r puzzling their
brains to find out the cause, each
individual can, by a little precaution,
avoid she chances of contracting
dreaded and dangerous kidney
trouble, or eradicate it completely
from their system if already aflio-
ted. Many precious lives might
have been, and many more can yet
be saved, by paying attention to the
kidneys.
l. is the mission of THE Progress
sIvE FARMER to benIfs it's readers at
every opportunity and therefore we
advise all who have any symptoms
of kidney or bladder trouble TO write

SEQ Inns anO HARVEST.

A good time 80 think most seri.
Ously of the harvest is seed time.
The decisions you make then will
determine the value of your crops
later. The growing competition
in seed selling is an increasing
temptation to unsorUpulous deal.
eIs TO make e-xtravagant claims
for their seeds, both in price and
producing qualities The wisest
farmers are those who are infu
enced mostly by what experience
has proven TO be good and true.
Thousands of seed sewers in all
sections of the country SOW Fer
rvs famous seeds year after
year, and have the satisfaction of
good harvests to justify their
continued faith in the Ferry firm.
They pay a few cents more at
seed time, but realize many dol
lars in better croOs at the har,
vest. The natural consequences
of this confidence ia IN ever in
creasing business. D M. Ferry
q Co sent out last year more
seeds than any other seed house
in the world. The 1902 catalogue
of this house is now ready and
will be found a useful guide in
selecting the choicest seeds for

THE NEW CAPITALIZATION ARBITRATION
COMMISSION.

A conservative tone marks the
newspaper comment On the commits
sion that was formed in New York
City last week, under the auspices
of the National Civic Federation, to
arbitrate disputes between capital
and labor. The general opinion
seems TO be that the meeting of the
capital and labor leaders and their
Endorsement of arbitration is in it.
self encouraging, but that we must
not expect too much in the way of
immediate practical results. A
typical comment is that of the In
dianapolis News, which observes :
''It does not mark the beginning of
the millennium nor the era of peace
and union between capital and labor.
There will be outbreaks of all sorts
in the future, as there have been in
the past. But it does mark, we be-
lieve, progress toward as much of a
millennium as is good for us in this
world, which is and must forever be
a place of discipline. One thing
certainly will come from it, and that
is better understanding, which is
always a first STEP"
The capitalists represented
at the conference by such men as
Charles M. Sohwab, Senator Hanna,
Oscar Strauss, S. R. Galloway, and
81. h. VIeeland, and among the labor
leaders present were Samuel Comp
ers, John Mitchell, Frank P. Sar-
gent, and Theodore j. Shaffer. It is
reokoned that 81 900, 900, 900 in cap
ital and 1000, 900 workingmen were
represented. The main result of the
conference is committee of thirty
six, twelve capitalists, twelve labor
leaders, and twelve prominent oiti-
zens who are neither employers nor
employed. The most prominent
names in the capitalist and labor sec
tinns of the committee are the ones
given above among the citizen mem
bers are OK Presidents Cleveland,
Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Potter,
President Eliot, of Harvard, and
Cornelius N. Bliss. The chairman is
Senator Hanna. According to ii
statement given out by the commit
tee, It's SCOPE and province ''shall be
to do what may seem best to pro-
mote industrial peace ; TO he helpful
in establishing rightful relations be-
tween employers and workers by
it's good offices TO endeavor TO obvi
ate and prevent strikes and lockouts !;
80 aid in renewing industrial rela-
tions where a rupture has occurred. ,
The committee declares further that
it twill not consider abstract indus
trial problems, " and thatit assumes
no powers of arbitration unless such
powers be conferred by both parties
TO a dispute" and that, ''either as
q whole or a subcommittee by it
appointed" it shall, "when re-
quested, act as a forum to adjust
and decide upon questions at issue
between workers and their employ
ers, provided, in it's opinion, the
subject is one of sufficient import
ance."-Literary Digest
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-01-07

The first step in any kind of educa-
ton, industrial, literary or profess
sional, is learning TO read. l have
heard people talk as II industrial
education were possible for ~illiterate
people. Just as we'll talk of a law
school or medical college for litter
ates. Machinery has entered all in
dustrial life and modern machinery,
to say nothing of the demands OF
citizenship, calls for trained and in
teillgent operatives. The fact Is
there is no comfortable place In
OF yiIization for men and women who
cannot read and write, and the in
stances to-day of extraordinary sue
CESS among illiterate people are rarer
than genius itself. In a State or
section where one-thrird of the popu-
lation above ten years of age cannot
read and write, the removal of that
handicap is the first public question
with which Christian benevOlence
and statesmanship must deal.-Presi-
dent Mower before Southern Eduoa-
tional Conference at Winston.

AwORD FROM THE BUSINESS MANAGER

n Nu1B GhOA 1AE 6US1GES9 RANAH&A
Dear subscribers, and writer's TO
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER: Unless
you have had some experience In Is,
you cannot realize what a pleasure a
prompt and cheerful response TO
'fgentla reminders" brings so Us.
We have received with thankfulness
and pleasure the kind words and re-
mittances of quite a number OF our
friends during the last two weeks.
Some are waiting for a more oon-
venient season we hope TO hear
from them as soon as they can make
is oonvenient.
Now we wish 80 again try, at least,
to emphasize an important point !:
When tOritiRg to The Progressive
Farmer aLlOGyS be sure to ndne your
postOffce. Ii you do not, we are
forced 80 look over our list of about
5000 names TO dndit, and frequently
we do not succeed We do not know
where TO look for your name nor
how 80 direct a letter TO you unless
we know your p~ostoface. Some times
we can learn from the postomne
stamps where the letter was mailed,
but not always, as they r some
times indistinct. Frequently, too,
they are stamped at one Office when
the person gets the paper at another.
Some times we receive an envelope
in our mail, open it and find a 81 or
a 81 bill. This makes Us happy, but
we are disappointed when we find
not a word to indicate from whom,
from where, or for what purpose, it
was sent. Especially is this annoy
ing because perhaps in a monSh we
receive a letter scoring US for not
changing the label and saying Ibid
you receive some time ago, (nOt say
ing when,O that dollar 1 sent you? If
you did, why don't you change my
P'-and that letter abruptly
ended without either the name of
the writer or his postofioe address.
This is no fiotiCn it is a fact, and
can be demonstrated in this office on
an average of OnC a month, a6least
Several such instances now await
adjustment We have written on
this subject before and we beg our
subscribers TO be sure e. state in
every letter they write us the name
of their p~ostofice, their own name,
and if they send money in any shape,
state how much and what is is sent
for
We have recently received remit
tances by mail. with no name of
sender, which, of course, We do not
know how nor TO whom TO credit it,
as follows:
Dec. 81, 1901, from Glover, N. G.
Dec. "a, 1901, from Louisburg, N. c..
Jan. 2, 1902, from ~Polloksvllle, NC.
Parties who sent these remittances
will please describe character of re-
mittance, amount and what sent for,
and give above all things, their
name plainly written, shat we may
credit them properly.
Trusting that you have all enjoyed
q happy Christmas, and wishing you
the choicest blessings of Providence
in bringing TO youa most prosperous
New Year, I am,
