Mt every point by the traditions OF
caste or custom. Chota Chankidar was
q tiny night Waterman employed by
Cornelia Sorabjl because he had che

helped her do her gardening and after
burying seeds would rush eagerly next
morning to SEQ IL green leaves wero

When the little green things were

A CASE OF IT.
Many Like It In sistersville.

The following case is but one of
many similar occurring daily in
Sistersville. 1t is an easy matter
to verify it's correctness. Surely
you canont ask for better proof
than such conclusive evidence.
Thomas Fleming, proprietor Of
the Commercial House, on Tenth
street, Moundsville, says. "Four
years ago my back ached so ex-
cruciatingly that if | even took a
long breath 1 felt it. When the
attacks were in the acute stage l
could scarcely get around, and
even in bed there was not single
position / could assume which
brought rest or comfort. To stoop
or to lift even a pound caused
twinges across the small Of my
back; in fine, despite the fact of
doctoring and using unlimited
quantities of medicine, all guar
anteed to cure kidney complaint,
1 actually think l grew worse in
place of better. Doan's Kidney
Pills came to my notice and l took
them as directed. The result turn
ed out as predicted, and the at
tack ceased. Since then | have
not had a symptom of a return
After this positive proof of the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills all
residents of this vicinity suffering
from their back or kidneys stand
sadly in their own light if they
do not give Doan's Kidney Pills
a fair trial"

!, Pnrsley, W. Va, Jan. 31.-Fire
destroyed the home of Mrs. Jane
Carpenter here yesterday morn
ing at $50. The fire originated
among some papers near the stove
and there was only "a small
amount of water in the house and
the we'll being some distance
away and having to draw the wa
ter with a rope the fire gained
such Roadway that it was impossi-
BILE to control it. Nothing was
saved except a dresser. Mrs. Car
penter lost a house near the same
j'site about ten years ago, and
had not recovered financially
from the loss sustained by that
fire, therefore, it is a very severe
misfortune at this time of year es-
pecially. The loss will probably
reach $1,000.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe
tent. authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

A TALK WITH COL. CUNNINGHAM.
As Result of United Action the
Cotton Planters Have More
Than Half Won the
Contest for Com
troll of the
Situation.

''To what extent do you think the
cotton planters have SO far succeeded
in their united efforts to control the
cotton situation" was a question
hurled at Colonel John s. Cunningham,
President of the North Carolina Cot
ton Growers and Business Mems AS
ISOLATION.
'"They have the contest more than
half won," promptly replied the gen
ia colonel, in their organization,
encouraged by the bankers and 9TH
er business men Of the South, they
are safely entrenched against the on
slaughtS of the misunderstanding
sharks and gamblers Of Wall Street,
and all they have to do is to hang
together foa' ninety days songer--
keep faith with each other-reducc
their cotton acreage, raise their own
hog and hominy, and the Port Ar
thur of the bear manipulators will
tumble before the first day of June
DO 1 believe they will do it? To
be sure / do: / have the best reason
in the world for believing il. A
little over a year ago / began talking
to the tobacco farmers. / made
speeches with others at as many
places throughout the tobacco belt
as l could, and urged them to plant
less tobacco and raise more home
supplies, the newspapers TOOK 1t up,
and what was the result? Let me
tell you what it was, two hundred
n.iilion pounds less tobacco grown
than was grown the year before, and
more dollars paid to the farmers for
the small crop than was paid for the
big crop of two years ago. Are cot
ton farmers in earnest? Go ask those
gamblers in futures, on the great ex-
changes, and they will tell you that
although the price advanced nearly
five dollars per bale, a fact which they
thought would cause the cotton
planters of the South to tumble over
each other getting their cotton to
market, yet they haven't done it by
a jug full, no sir, they are standing
pat, and the cotton world might just
as well make up its mind to take the
old choppers medicine. 1t is the
only remedy for the disaster that was
threatened and they are going TO
fight it out OH this line if it takes all
summer.
And, now said the genial gentle
man from Person, as he hied away
to his seat in the House of Represen-
tatfVes, you can fire this away at all
those fifty thousand readers of yours,
and watch. the results for a few
months longer and see the salvation
OF the commercial interest Of the
South brought about in the manner
proposed"
