COMFORTING WORDS
Many a Marion Household VIII find
Them So.

To have the pains and aches of bad
back removed; to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. To tell how this great
change can be brought about will
prove comforting words to hundreds of
Marion reauers.
G. B. johnson, 413 Gum St., Marion,
KY, says: "For five years l suffered
from kidney complaint, brought on by
hard work. Whenever | caught cold,
it settled on my kidneys and at such
times my suffering was aggravated.
The kidney secretions were irregular
in passage and was often obliged to
arise during the night. There was a
dull pain in the small of my back and
when arose in the morning, felt
lame and stiff. l tired easily, was
nervous and also had dizzy spells.
When Doan's Kidney Pills came to my
attention, Iprocured box at Haynes &
Taylor's Drug Store and after l had
finished the contents, / was cured. 1t
gives me pleasure to state, that time
has proven the cure to be a permanent
one. You are at liberty to publish

a cup of coffee now costs twice
as much as it. did a short time
ago. The Brazilian berry now
costs fifteen cents a pound as
against seven cents a short time
ago. Sugar prices are doubled,
the price to consumers being eight
cents a pound.
The increased cost of coffee is
due to the action of the Brazilian
government in placing an arbi-
trary value upon its principal pro-
duct instead of the economic val
ue based on the cost of production
and the demand.
A shortage in the sugar beet
crop of Germany and the cane
crop of the southern part of the
United States, combined with a
heavy demand for sugar for can
ming purposes, is responsible for
the great increase in the cost of
that article.

DRAIN THE SWAMPs.
That Is the Slogan Of the Irrigation
Congress.


Congress.
Chicago, H., April DRAIN the
swamp and overflow lands of the
United States Is a slogan of the ma
tional irrigation congress which
particularly interests those states
having large bodies of land which
require drainage for their reclama-
ton. The drainage question is one
which interests every state in the
union and Is causing all sections OF
the country to take unusual interest
in the nineteenth annual meeting
of the national irrigation congress
at Chicago, Dec. s to 8.
This great development organiza-
ton has been one of the leaders In
the work to have the overflow lands
reclaimed through cooperation OF
national, state and individual efforts
under a plan similar to that by which
reclamation through irrigation has
accomplished such wonders through
i out the western states. Special at
tention will be given this year at the
Chicago meeting to this matter
| which is of such direct interest to
| the states of the south and middle
| west.
At the Pueblo meeting last year
| the irrigation congress adopted a
| resolution regarding drainage as
follows: Recognizing the economic
waste and menace to the public
health connected with our vast areas
| of swamp and overflow lands, we re-
quest our representatives in the fed
eral congress to take suitable ac-
ton looking toward the reclamation
| of such lands under policy cores
ponding with that OF the reclama-
ton Of arid lands by irrigation un-
der the reclamation service; such
reclamation of swamp and overflo"
lands to be carried forward through
cooperation between individual
owners, states and the federal gov
| eminent"
At the Chicago meeting special
efforts will be made to further this
policy.

be advanced from time to time by
experts of the University of Illinois
and will be directed by DR.. Cyril G..

Bankers Association of Illinois
This association represents 1,48O
banks, with more than 100000,
600 of banking assets, all concerned
vitality in preserving the richness of
Illinois soil. The booklet mailed to
the farmers is from the pen of D..
Hopkins, and Richard L. Crampt ~,
secretary of the Bankers Associa-
ton, has announced that a second
booklet is in course of preparation
by Dr. Hopkins of which half mil
lion copies are to be distributed.
Scientific farm work extending
over several years. says Mr.. Cramp,
ton, has proved the method 50
good that it appears imperative to
interest every farmer in the state
right now. The university authori
ties are unanimous in the opinion
that no other single agency could
so well serve the university as the
Bankers Association and wera ask
ed to undertake the movement We
feel it our duty to do so and consid-
er it a privilege to carry on such
work for the state as a whole
DR.. Hopkins, who Is interested in
the work of the National Irrigation
Congress in Chicago this year. has

sive travels, many tables OF Stats

been made twenty-seyen bushels to
