Weakness in Children.
Many children have weak kid
neyS.
An early war ming is bed-wet-

IT'S a mistake to neglect these
troubles
To blame the child for its own

Save the child from dangerous
kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills are espe-
cialIy for weak kidneys.
Jasper PARENTS know their
worth.

Hard Rock Phosphate.

The year 1911 witnessed renewed
activity in the mining of hard rock
phosphate in Florida, with the result.
that the output was appreciably in
creased over that of the preceding
year. The total output of hard rock
phosphate in Florida for the year
1910 was 39a,oSS long tons. The
amount mined during 1871 was
47l,094 tons. Although showing this
increase. the production in 1911
does not equal that of 1909, which
was 527,5S2 long tons. nor that OF
the record year 1908. which was

Pebble Phosphate.

The production of pebble phos-
Dhate, which has steadily increased
yea. by year, shows farther increase
during 1911. The total output Tor
1910 was l,637,109 long tons. The
output for 1911 was 2,O2O.477 long
ions, thus verifying the prediction OF
4 year ago that the production OF peb-
BILE rock during 1911 would exceed
. 900. coo tons. Seventeen companies
operated in the pebble phosphate
fields, although only sixteen were az
Lually producing rock during 1911.
The domestic shipments of LAM
pebble rock during 1911 amounted to
l.274,O56 tons, as against 7O3,3S'
tons exported, thus contrasting vita
the hard rock phosphate practically
all of which is exported. The domes-
tic shipments of pebble rock during
1910 amounted to 995,72S long tons,
while the amount exported waS 6O6,-
no long tons. The figures indicate
an increased percentage OF rock re-
naming in the United States.
The statistics on the production
and shipments OF phosphate rock
have been supplied direct by the
producers, and are complete for all
plants operating in Florida.
Thirty-one companies in all were
in mining phosphate IN
Florida during 1911. In addition to
these the Amalgamated Phosphate
Company began the construction OF 4
plant for the production Of pebble
phosphate.

A correspondent of the Vienna New

lying by the dozens in muddy streams
and soldiers passing by, tortured with
burning thirst, drank the water in
which the bodies were lying.
''The nearer one gets to the Turk

Along the roads outside the village
and on the bridge dying men stretch
despairing hands toward us. Dead
and dying lie in the trenches and

''The patients have been herded
into a camp surrounded by barbed
wire. Around the camp are sentries
with fixed bayonets. All this, how

of persons are grooming with pain.
Their cries rend the air. With faces
emaciated by suffering they wander
about the streets and in the gardens

which we left behind here ten days

and they cry for mercy when they

us in the madness of their pain.

vice to the men. The latter, howev-
