Cotton Damaged.

The extremely dry, hot weather Of
the past two weeks has cut down. what
promised to be record breaking crop
In the uplands, down to what now ap-
pears will not exceed two-thirds of a
crop. After the fine prospects this
comes as great blow to the cotton
growers of Crawford county. The fruit
on the lower part of the plant Is as
sured, but squares and blossoms from
about the center of the plant mp are
dropping off badly, The only apparent
salvation is good rain within the next
few days, for all that blooms after the
middle Of September is likely to be
caught by early frosts, Orr cotton
farmers are looking decidedly glum and
they have a right to look SO, the only
thing that gives brighter tinge to the
outlook is that prices, from present
indications, promise to be good.

Gambling. 1t is the great occupa-

the average college graduate is apt

WILL PRESERVE FOOD LONG.
New Method That Promises to Give
the Best Results.

An Ingenious method of preserving
food has recently been devised which
Is based on the fact that powdered
gelatin. or thin sheets of the same
material. not only do not spoil, but
are capable of protecting incorporated
substances from bacteria. moisture.
and other agencies which bring about
decomposition. Thus to make a con-
centrated beef extract, tea or coffee.
extract, soup, etc, the LIQUID is mixed
hot with per cent of primary gela-
tin, which differs from the commercial
article in not having the gluelike taste
of the latter.
After cooling a jelly is formed, and
this is cut into thin films and dried by
current of cold air until 1t becomes
brittle. When this condition is reach
ed the sheets are then reduced 10 .
fine powder, which will keep indefin-
itely. While 1t will absorb moisture
it does not do so to degree to oc-
casion decomposition. and the moist
ure is subsequently given OF in dry
air. The powder while likely to cake.
forms a brittle cake, not interfering
with its use, while 1t is too hard for
insects. When placed in warm water
it dissolves Immediately, and is thus
ready for use. If heated above the
temperature of boiling water before
packing all disease or other germs
will be killed. and to secure the best
results the powder should be packed
airtight. Such concentrated food
possesses many advantages, and is
susceptible of wide application. as

a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure
Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes. suffered from Kidney

two boxes of Dodd's Kidney pills and
they not only cured my kidneys, but
gave me better health In general OF

Pills to others and know a number

Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an e1-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
pe-iences. For there never yet was a
case OF Kidney Trouble from Backache

ney Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured

BLOOD WILL TELL
THEORY SUPPORTED FRESH,
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.
A Recent Instance Proves That a
Woman's Happiness Is Largely De-
pendent on the State of Her Blood.

When the blood Is dissrdered every
organ OF the body is affected unfayor-
ably and fails to discharge its func-
tons properly. In the case of every
woman nature has made special pro-
vision for a periodical publication of
the blood. and so long as this occurs
her heath and spirits unfailingly re-
veal the beneficial results. So slight
a cause as a cold or nervouG shock
may produce a suppression of this
vital function. and until II is restored

that has proved most prompt and

the female sex Is that which brought
such great relief to Miss Matte
