remedy that all

The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table, depend
so much on the good digestion of
each individual present that the eX-
periences of some former dyspeptics
who overcame their trouble should
be of interest to those now suffering
in this way.
The best advice one can give-but
it is advice that is seldom needed
is to eat slowly and masticate each
mouthful carefully. However, if slow
eating and careful mastication fail
the next aid is one close to nature,
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This
remedy is an excellent digestant and
in addition to helping in the diges-

UPLIFT IN COTTON HANDLING
Often Left Exposed to Be Damaged by
Rain and InfiItrated by Mud-Also
carelessly Baled.

IL is notorious that cotton has been
the most slcvenly handled of all OF
the agricultural products Of the
United States. The farmers often
leave 1t exposed to be damaged by
rain and infiltrated by mud. Even
when offered for shipment 1t is some
times in this condition. All too fire.
ouently SO loosely baled and made
ouately baled. 1t has been said that
upon receipt at foreign ports bales
of cotton look more like rag bags.
For many years the railways have
sought to have the cotton shippers
exercise greater care, but the rail-
ways of this country have no such
autocratic power as those Of Ger
many, where no shipment is accepted
unless il is packed and marketed in
accordance with rigid specifications.
Government experts have estimated
that of the cotton crop Of the United
States there is between the gin and
the spinner a wastage and damage
amounting to s5O.OOO.O0O per annum.
The Japanese several years ago
ruled that they would not accept cot
ton that was not clean, securely
packed and plainly marketed. They
get what they want. The possibility
of losing the custom Of nation makes
a difference. The Transatlantic lines
who in recent years have been mulct-
ed in heavy damages because of the
poor condition in which cotton has
been delivered to foreign consignees
have taken action that will REINFORCE
the efforts of the railroads. From
September l, 1912. to March 81, 1918
on the average one bale of cotton out
of every six offered at the South Allan
tic and Gulf ports was condemned
one bale out of every ten was improp
erly marked Beginning with July 1
1913, their requirements will be more
rigid: higher charges will be exacted
for cotton loosely baled.
! The railways in the cotton growing
regions are therefore redoubling Their
efforts with cotton compressors. cottor
ginners and shippers. When thost
concerned in cotton growing and ship
