IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that its only
muscular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. And 80 it is with all the
other symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is just where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles or they lead
to diabetes or Bright's disease The
best remedy TO use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. 1t cures all ills which are caused
by weak or diseased kidneys.

lice. now sanitary inspector of Marshall,

In the early sixties II was usually the

those days young man who had re-

Of the best colleges Of that day was ac-
customed to ride ten, twenty and often
thirty miles or more, visiting the sick
and afflicted. His success was soon
phenomenal. Doctors and families called
him for consultation to towns at con-
siderable distances by rail. He became
especially noted in the cure Of obstinate
and distressing diseases OF women. He
had early discovered that by combining
the extracts OF certain native medicinal
plants In just the right proportion, with
out the use Of alcohol, his "Prescrip-

cases. Later, In order to place this rem

COLLECTING MUCH
IMPORTANT DATA
SPECIAL AGENT OF UNITED
STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRl-
CULTURE HERE TO GET 1NFoR-
NATION ABOUT COTTON CROP.

William L. Pryor, special field agent
of the United States department of agri-
culture, is in Birmingham for the purpose
of collecting some data for the forth
coming quantitative cotton estimate to be
issued by the bureau of statistics of the
department early in December.
The first part of the month was spent
by Mr.. Pryor in travelling throughout the
states of Mississippi and Tennessee. From
now until the time for his report, he will
visit various portions of this state inter
viewing farmers, merchants, cotton buy
ers, business men and others likely to
give him any information regarding his
seasons crop.
There has been a considerable difference
of opinion among people interested in the
crop as to the size of the crop in Ala
bama, but Mr.. Pryor proposes to cover
enough of the state to satisfy himself as
to the size of the present crop.
Mr.. Pryor says the government is max
ing a special effort to secure correct data
concerning the present crop, and to this
end has instructed the special agents and
others making reports on the crop to re-
port on the probable average yield of seed
cotton per acre, the percentage of the
planted crop abandoned and the compare
tive "earliness'' or lateness of this years
cotton crop. Besides this, four field
agents are travelling in the south as
against one few years ago. These men
were all appointed from the cotton states
and are thoroughly familiar with cotton
growing and reporting.
The coming report on cotton will be the
last issued by the department of agricul-
ture this year, the report on other crops
and on livestock conditions will be made
monthly, as heretofore.

SHAVING ON TRAINS.
Operation Not Nearly So Dangerous as
Most People Imagine.
From the New York Sun,

From the New York Sun.
There was a hurrah when some of the
railroads started barber shops on their
fast trains" said a travelling man. The
newspapers said that at last travellers
could have the luxury of a shave when
ever necessary and that no longer would
we see unlSempt men leaving the trains
at the end of a long run.
Now, the barber shops on the fast
trains are undoubtedly a blessing to men
who are not able to shave themselves,
but for my part ! consider them far
more dangerous than the simple oper-
alton of shaving yourself, even when
going at the rate of sixty miles an hour
II always shave myself. and | do not
use a safety razor, yet / would sooner
scrape my chin with an unprotected blade
while the train Is going sixty or seventy
miles an hour than let a barber on the
same train lean over me with a sharp
razor and perform the operation.
The reason for this is that when one
holds the razor i'm ones own hand the
razor moves with you If there should be
"a sudden jar or jolt. If you fall toward
the razor the razor falls away from you,
as your arm Is naturally outstretcehd to
prevent you from striking wall.
but suppose the barber Is leaning over
you as you sit in a chair and a sudden
lurching of the train throws him against
the chair. What chance have you in the
chair to get away from the sharp blade
coming i'm your direction?
Il have shaved myself dozens of times
on fast trains and slow trains and ] have
never cut myself once. Yet number of
my acquaintance who have patronized
the train barber shops have been COM
PEELED to wear court plaster during the
remainder of the trip.
up to year or so ago | never shaved
myself on train, and | never saw any
one else doing IT, Then, perhaps be-
cause of the advent Of the safety razors, it
became a comparatively familiar sight
to see man shaving himself in the
smoking room of the Pullman.
Il have had travelling men, seeing me
shave for the first time, express their
surprise that | did not cut myself owing
to the lurching of the train, and when
] have explained to them how easily one
can shave on a train they have become
instant converts to the practice Like
all simple things, one does not realize
how simple 1t Is until one has tried it.
Another thing--it is infinitely smoother
shaving when the train Is going fast
than when making only twenty-five or
thirty miles an hour. The curves and
the jolts seem more severe on "a slow
train The steady motion of a swiftly
moving train Is more conducive to secur-
ity and comfort than any slow train"
