Do You Want Strength?

If you want to increase your
strength you must add TO and not
take FROM the physical. To ether
words, the food that you eat must be
digested, assimilated and appropriate
ed by the nerves, blood aud tissues
before being expelled from the
intestines. Kodol Dyspepsia Care
adds to the physical. It gives
strength to and builds up strength
in the human system. Il is pleasant
to the taste and p+latable, and the
only combination of djgestauts that
will digest the food apd enable the
system to appropriate all of its health
and strengthening qualities. Sold
by all druggists.

Cotton Letter.

Raleigh, N c., April Z-The market
was full. steady. and feareless. There
was no news-nothing toinduce buying
and certainly nothing to cad one to be
short of cotton Last yeas exports were
700, geo bales more than tbs. From May
1st on exports last year ere but 50@75
per cent of the normal. p can't believe
consumption has been cumown so much
that Liverpool can get alag with 100000
or 900 bales less thana asst year. Not
only has Liverpool take 100000 bales
less. but last year they ant back $4,000
bales Now the Question is how much
will Liverpool need. If itan be possible
for them to get along GER there with
16 per cent less than lasyear, all right
But this is a big contractor and it may
be impossible for them get along on
this Anyway as long asst is uncertain
we don't want to be cauet short OF cot
ton and famine facing Should the
least unfavorable crop nws come the
roof would come off. Ye for awhile we
don want to buy and wtdont want to
sell short. 1t is a goodmarket to let
alone for awhile. The DIV thing to do
is to buy October on any;ood break. 1t
will be slow decline bella 11.50 for That

Oh!
The Good of 1t! Oh! The
Economy of 1t!

We have been using Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy in our family for the past eight
cen months and find it to be q good medi-
cine. Our little boy, five years old, was
afflicted with a stomach trouble all his
life. He took medicine from four of the
best physicians in the community. We
couldn't give him meats or vegetables
for two months at the time, and all the
medicine he took seemed to help him only
FOR a little while. Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy was recommended to us and we
thought we would give it trial. He
took sixteen bottles and he seems to be
in splendid health and eats anything he
wants. We also gave the Remedy to our
teething baby and found that il did her
more good than anything we could get.
When She would have high fever sick
stomach, when red spots would come ON
the tongue and her mouth get sore, 1
would give her teaspoonful of the Rem
edy IN teaspoonful of sweetened water
every hour until she was relieved and
then gave her the Remedy three or four
times a day.
We haven't had to call in doctor to
one Of our children on account of sickness
since we commenced using Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Remedy.
