IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
SAYS BACkAcHE is SIGN YOU
HAVE BEEN EATING TOO
MUCH MEAT.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's ulinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, t3rGue is coated,
and when tie weather ;s tad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels Of
ten get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi
clan at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine This
famous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is a delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.

recently, making present prospects in
that portion of Texas the best for many
years past. Texas has not had a gen.
eral rain since the end of last May,
and the precipitation was not heavy
when it fell, except in spots. The late
planted cotton in that state Is suffer-
ing most for the want of moisture, and
the dry weather is retarding it's
growth; plants are generally small in
size and, as a rule, irregular, which
makes the outlook for the future all
the more uncertain. Advices from
Texas are to the effect that early esti.
mates for this years crop in Texas
range from 100000 to 100000 bales.
At this time last year early estimates
for the Texas crop ranged from 5,000,-
900 to 100000 bales, whereas final
results showed the production to be
about 100000 bales.
The outflow Of gold from the United
States to Europe is virtually at an
end. Heavy shipments of grain for
Europe have been booked, which will
probably be followed by large exports
of cotton in the early fall, which will
turn the balance of trade in favor OF
, America.
The French loan was oversLbscribed
SO times, and money in London is
quoted at the low rate of / 1916 pc,
cent, which should help stimulate
trade across the Atlantic.

says:
There is something peculiarly re-

to this musty Old World something of
the broad, open atmosphere of her

is something far more Anglicized and
there is an ever-growing tendency to
regard her more as a sister than as a
cousin. You can tell her anywhere

to mix with the best people, and she
has come to stay.

that we are going to succeed in whip

Note that the use of the sack is
supplemented by hand picking every
square that has fallen to the ground
making thorough work of it.
If any of the farmers in your terri
tory are trying this or similar meth
DDS attention should be called to two
things apt to be overlooked:
First-Squares that drop to the
ground and are lying under the stalk
must be carefully hand picked, as
those squares being on moist, shady
soil are almost sure to hatch out
weevil.
Second-There is considerable per

/ hang tenaciously to the stalk and
/ probably can not be shaken off. II
the fallen squares and the punctured
hanging squares, which can not be
shaken off, are both carefully hand
picked in connection with the use OF
the sack it is probable that the use
of the sack may add to the effective
| ness and speed with which this work
can be done.

Tell of NeV Way to
Catch the Boil WeeUil

Jackson, Miss, July 10.-Bradner ].
Moore, district agent of the depart
ment of agriculture, with headquarters
in Jackson, has received the following
from the department at Washington:
To All Agents In Boil Weevil Ter
ritory: For your information we de-
sire to call your attention to new
method of catching boil weevil and
gathering squares which is claimed
to be not only practical but much
more speedy than gathering entirely
BY hand. The information is received
from Col. F. M. Maxwell, Mounds, La,
and the plan was devised by Mr.. Alex
Clark, one of the managers of his
plantation at Mounds.
The collecting is done by means of
an ordinary cotton sack from two to
three feet long, with a barrel hoop
sewed in the top to hold it open. The
open end of the cotton sack is placed
| carefully under the cotton plant, to
one side. The plant is then bent over
very carefully until the entire plant
is over the opening of the sack. The
outer rim of the hoop is then raised
slightly so as to partly enclose the
plant in the sack, and the plant is
then given a quick, vigorous shake.
| The weevil and punctured squares fall
| into the open sack. The sack is then
| lifted from the plant, keeping the
open end up, and Jared by striking
! the edge of the hoop to drive the
| weevils to the bottom. The next plant
| in the row is then treated in the same
| manner.
The size of the hoop and the sack
| depends on the height of the cotton
plant. For the larger plants a larger
opening in the sack is required.
The weevil and punctured squares
are destroyed by burning; by dump
| ing the contents of the sack into
tub containing water with coal oil on
top, or by dumping into tub of boil
ing water. The last method appears
to be the most practical, as the sack
can first be plunged into the hot
water and then emptied out into the
water by turning wrong side out.
The sack should be emptied every
two or four rows, that is, every first
! or second round, or whenever the
, weeyils become numerous enough to
cause delay in the work by crawling
to the top of the sack and attempting
to escape.
The Maxwell Yerger Company are
using this method on all their estates
and are collecting weevils and pune
tured squares by the thousands every
day.
In writing to the department en-
closing the above information, Col,
Maxwell says:
81 have given this matter thor
ough test and in going over the cot
ton we can go over it in one-half the
time that we did when picking, and
get about twice as many weevils.
1--WE also, in shaking the weevil
out shake off all the squares that
have been punctured. We do not
stop at this, but we pick up all the
squares that have fallen previous to
this and put them in the sack.
1--WE are not only getting twice the
weevils that we got by hand picking,
but we are also getting the squares
that have been punctured and that
have not fallen off. At the same time
we are picking up every square that
has fallen on the ground and are

MERCURY REACHES YEARS HIGH MARK DROUTH IS PROLONGED INTENSE HEAT FOLLOWING LONG DRY PERIOD IS
 HURTING CROPS.

The government thermometer at Conway yesterday afternoon reached a maximum of 100 1-2 degrees, five degrees higher than any temperature previously recorded here this year. The discomfort from the intense heat, however, was not great owing to the lack of moisture in the atmosphere. and steady breeze throughout the day. Today bids fair to equal or eclipse yesterdays record, as the skies are cloudless and there is noth- ing to indicate change to cooler weather
 The prolonged spring drouth is alarming the farmers of Faulkner county, although crops that, have been well cultivated are not yet sui fering to any great extent. The worst damage will be to late planted cotton, hundreds of acres of which failed to come up. No cotton can now be planted on this land and un- less rain comes in few days the ground will have 70 lie idle this year
 At few scattering points in the county showers have fallen within the past 10 days, but at Conway the drouth is now in it's sixth week. Bar ring two light sprinkles, IA inch on May 12 and .03 inch on May IT, there has not been drop of rain here since May 1, and the total precipita- tion since April 30 amounts to only .43 inches, about fourth the nor nal precipitation for the period.
