II you would do it. Now that you have
done what you said you would do, and
there is sufficient evidence to convince
any mortal man that you have made
the reduction which you promised you
would, they are still more in wonder
at your great wisdom and strength.
Therefore, now that victory is yours
and the whole civilized world i, stand
ing and uttering their praise Of you, it
behooves you to stand firm, reap the
full benefits Of this great and good vic
tory, and secure the profits to yourself
and to your southern brethren.
You should not sell another bale of
your cotton for 60 days. Realize this
that the balance Of the cotton which
you may hold will regulate tile price
not only of the balance Of this crop.
but also regulate the price of next
years crop which you have worked so
wonderfully to circumstance, for by
forcing what you now have upon the
market it will depreciate the price of
not only every bale that you bring in
but every bale that you have left on
your plantations and in your store
houses, and also depreciate every bale
that you have in the ground and which
you have worked so hard and indus
trieusly to put there.
Therefore, hold your cotton. Stand
firm. Do not sell another bale for 60
days. In that time I can assure you
there are plans being perfected that
will be of great benefit to you.
Best assured of this-you are surely
the masters. Be the masters now, and
forever be the masters.

A report of considerable interest
to sugar makers has just come to The
state department from Consular Agent
King, stationed at Lille, France, de-
scribing the use of redo, a neutral,
conservable hydrosulphite Of calcium
in refining. Employed alone" says
Mr.. King, "redo not only affects an
economy in expenses and manipulation
but clarifies very perfectly and dimin-
ishes the reproduction Of molasses.
The action Of redo appears to be so
effective that the experiments are be-
ing made with view to simplifying
the series Of operations now followed
out in sugar making. At Lille, Bor-
deaux and Barcelona sugar-makers,
owing to effectiveness Of redo, have
practically suppressed the operation
Of dosing at the second carbonation.

THE STOMACH IN WINTER.
Hearty Food Puts Extra Strain
on This Important
Organ.

Winter is a little more than half
over, and the results Of its hearty
food are shown in the variable appe-
tite, nausea, gnawing at the pit OF
the stomach, heartburn, salloW skin,
furred tongue, headache, backache,
and sleep'es- ness. The stomach has
been overworked, the nervous sys-
tenn is unstrung, the blood is in bad
condition, the digestive organs are
tired out.
1t is at this season of the year that
Mi-o-na, the only remedy known
that gives strength to the stomach
and digestive organs, is Of especial
value.
Mi-o-la is not hit-or-miss cure,
but is an unusual combinati on OF
remedies that makes it infaliibIe il

digestive system. 1t overcomes amy
acid condition that may be present in
the stomach and intestlnes, soothee
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane, has stimulating effect on the
Isolar-plexus, and combines pecuiia,
properties that strengthen the nerves
of the stomach and puts the whole

Letter to Fred OVerman.
Goldsboro, N. G.

Dear Sir: You understand grind
ing wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and
corn. We understand grinding
whitehead and White-zinc. The two
sorts of grinding are not much alike.
Very likely oats and wheat behave
very differently in the mill, and you
manage them differe ltly-we know
very little about your work; don't
need to; we'd rather depend GU you.
But we paint your house and mill,
and out-bui!dings, perhaps you'd be
glad to know about grinding paint
for scme people mix their paint
with stick in tub.
We use lead-and-zinc nothing
else. And our zinc is as tough a.
your oats. Tub mixers imagine
they mix it. They didn't; the.
can't. Takes grinding 10 mix lead
and-zinc.
They are both white; when ar
they thoroughly mixed? Tub-mix
ers don't know it; but tub-mIxet
lead-and-zinc is streak of one along
side of streak of the other.
We grind as you grind; and GU
paint is lead and-zlnc ground to
Igether, mix5d Intimately: it
neither lead nor zinc, but lead-and
zinc: the lead is lost, and the zinc
Host: each lost in the other: both los
in the mixture. Lad chalks an
lzinc peels: leai-and-zinc ground tc

you take care Of it inside.
