DO IT NOW
ElktOn People Should Not Wait Until
II ia Too Late

Elkton People Should Not Wait Until
1t is Too Late.
The appalling death rate from kid
ney disease is due largely to the fact
that the little kidney troubles are US
ually neglected until they become SER
ious. The slight symptoms often give
place to chronic disorders and the
sufferer may slip gradually into some
serious. form of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural in appearance, do not delay.
Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they act where
others fail. Over one hundred thous-
and people have recommended them.
Here's case at home.
Mrs. Scott Desmond, Maffit st., Elk
ton, Nd, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
have been used off and on in my fam
lily for years. They have brought
such great benefit that l hardly know
how we could do without them. They
do the work for which they are in
tended. l recommend them to every
one"
Price so cents at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Desmond recommends. Foster

PLAN OSTRICH FARM
IN ANDERSON COUNTY
VENTURE MAY BE GIVEN A
TRY-OUT HERE
=
BEING CONSIDERED
Local Folks Thinking Of Investing
$4,000 in Birds and Begin
ming Large Industry

Would II pay to raise ostriches in
Anderson county?
That question is now being seriously
considered by certain Anderson men
and while they have made no definite
announcement that the venture will
be tried here, 1t is understood that
they are In touch with the people who
raise ostrichcs and probably an order
will be given in few days for scyral
fine specimens.
The proprietors of n ,well-known os-
trich farm have written letter to To-
cal people in which they answer the
question aboutt South Carolina cli-
mate being suitable for thi industry,
In the following manner: There can
be but little doubt about the climate
OF South Carolina being favorable to
the ostrich farming Industry. With
the proper care and little intelli
gence there Is money to be made out uf
the undertaking" :.
Additional information Is: also given
by the breeders in their letter, which
says:
AN ostrich hen lays from thirty to
seventy eggs per year. The birds ma
;ure at about two years when they
produce not less than two pounds OF
feathers per annum. The plumage
finds ready sale on the New York
market and to manufacturers every
where. The value Of South African
ostrich feathers exported in 1913
$15,080.OO0. Value American product
for the same period-$200,0O0. The
United States consumes so per cent
lover one-half) OF the worlds largest
product. Congress has already made
two appropriations 10 be used by the
Department Of Agriculture depart
ment of Poultry investigations) to fur
ther the industry in this country.
There are sixteen ostrich farms In
Arizona, several in California, some in
Texas. Arkansas. New Mexico, Florida,
and one as-far north as Pennsylvania.
Many of our states can successfully
farm ostriches. Poultrymen especially
are we'll adapted to this line.
South Africa is so much in fear OF
the united States as competitor that
it has passed laws prohibiting the
expectation OF ostriches. Some of the
South american leading authorities
on ostriches, give the Americans fifty
years to wake up to the fact that the
United States can raise all the ostrich
product used in this country while
others who have visited the American
ostrich farms say that we will ne a se-
rious factor on the ostrich feather
market within twenty years.
