A DANGEROUS MISTAKE
Smyrna Mothers Should Not
Neglect Kidney Weakness
in Children

Most children have weak kidneys.
The earliest warning is bedwetting
Later come backache, headache,
languor.
IT'S a mistake to neglect these
troubles,
To blame the child for its own
distress.
Seek to cure the kidneys
Save the child from deadly kid
ney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys.
Smyrna parents recommend them.
Mrs. Joshua ]. Farrell, Union St.,
Smyrna, Del, says: "About three
years ago, my son was afflicted with
a kidney weakness, following an at
tack of pneumonia. The kidney Sc
cretiuns were irregular in passage
and caused him annoyance. He was
steadily growing worse when l pro-
cured Doan's Kidney Pills at Clifton

WORLDS WHEAT CROP is GREAT
Not AS Large as Last Year But Will be
Above the Average

Washington, Sept. 16.-While this
years world average sown to wheat
was doubtless the largest in history
-235, 900, 900 acres-it is not unlike
ly, according to department of agri-
culture experts, that the world yield
of wheat will be short of the high
record of last years, 624, 600, 600
bushels-yet the crop Is reasonably
certain to go down in history as
quantitatively above the average.
In a review of the foreign crop the
Crop Reporter of the department
today says: "The world wheat har-
vest, which at the opening of 1910
was progressing southwark in Ar
gentina and Australasia, began
north of the equator in February.
Starting in British India the opera
tions gradually expanded over the
magnificent wheat areas of the
northern hemisphere until they are
now completed, excepting on small
surfaces in the more northerly linn
its of it's culture. The total acreage
was doubtless the largest in history,
the normal world area, about 235, =
900, 600 acres, having been heavily
increased this year by additional
sowing of spring wheat in Russia
and Canada. Up to July, when a
fair crop had already been garnered

ing one, but drouth that month ir

be using flavoringS. colorings, etc,
In violation of the pure food laws.
At q meeting held last night at the

thnt hereafter every manufacturer
present would adhere strictly to the
law. even though they found that in
order TO do this 1t would necessitnte
an additional cost to their product.
After carefully considering this
point 1t was found necessary to raise
their selling prices to the following
basis.
Soda pop. 75 cents per case. two
dozen, root beer, rs cents per case.
two dozen pints: fountain tanks. $3.50
eOch; ginger ale. $3.50 per case. two
