A WARMING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Troubles

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes chemical anal
ysis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs can
not readily be brought back to health
and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1918, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves Us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is soon
realized, according to sworn state
ments and verified testimony of those
who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention and wish sample bottle,
write to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham

they will gladly forward it to you by

COTTON HOLDING
STEADILY ABOUT
PRESENT VALUES
DEMAND IS NONE TOO GREAT BUT
CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT IS
EXPECTED.

Americas warehousemen had few
offerings this morning that could not
readily be supplied, and while there is
no advance in values the market, for
tunately, has not slipped its cable and
gone the other way The demand now
is for the best grades, while the great
er portion of that now being marketed
here is stained by recent rains. Six
cents is the top offering for middling
grades, while fancier cotton will
bring a half cent better.
Most of the cotton that is being gin
ned is being held TO" better price.
The farmer does not know whether the
market will improve later or not, but
he does know that or cents is too
cheap for cotton, from his point OF
view He expects to be able to get adj
yances of at least cents before long
and on that basis he will prefer to take
the chance.
There seems healthier tone IN
financial circles. New York is return
inc toward a normal basis, and good
progress is being made with the pro-
motion of the big $15O,O0O,OOO cotton
rooI This will provide for 100000
haIes at 6 cents pound, and that, to-
getber with the amounts independ-
only held and the buy bale" con-

whole crop from the market.

GERMAN LIEUTENANT BLUFFS
BELGIAN FORTRESS into

Lieutenant Otto Won der Line, serving
in the 9Th guard regiment is of interest
He was awarded this very high and
coveted distinction because on Aug
ust "a with four men he took Fort
Malonne at Namur before it had been
subjected to artillery fire.
How Lieutenant Won der Line accom-
plished this has been described by him
in letter to his parents:
Il was ordered to advance against
the fort with 500 men our course lying
across an open field without cover" he
said. Everywhere loopholes stared at
us, and l expected that if we were not
anihiliated from them, the many mines
about the fort would take care of us.
Many officers had volunteered for the
task of attacking the fort, but l was
picked out to do it.
Arrived near the fort took four of
my men and approached in good
march, picking our way carefully
through the field of mines. The draw
bridge was up, and the broad moat fill
ed with water made it impossible for
US to get into the fort.

Il then ordered the garrison of the
fort before me. Every man was search
ed and disarmed. All arms had to be
left in the fort, l ordered. All this
was done with my four men ready to
shoot. We took FIVE officers and 20
men prisoners, while another 400 had
already taken to their heels, as l
learned afterwards.
This done l ordered my detachment
to come to the fort. You should have
seen the faces of the officers and men
when they saw my force. Then the
Belgian flag was hauled down, and
one of my men made a German flag
from a Belgian pair of black pants, a
white shirt and a red French sash
This was hoisted. Meanwhile we had
inspected the wine cellar and so we
were able to celebrate our victory with
few bottles of champagne. The corks
popped wonderfully.
"The fort had not been bombarded
and l held it until l was relieved for
other work. We took four heavy 81
centimeter guns, large number of
small calibre pieces, about 100 rifles
and revolvers, 500 hand grenades and
several thousand rounds of rifle am
munition."

Mrs. GORDON JEssUP, Fayetteville,
N. C.
Vinol is a wonderful appetizer and
you can see delicate, ailing children i'm
prove day by day under its use, for it is
the tissue building and medicinal ele-
of Gods livers, aided by the blood
making, strength creating properties of
tonic iron which makes Vinol so superior
to other tonics to build up health and
strength for delicate children, feeble old
people and weak, rundown, nervous de-
bilitated men and women.
We wish every mother who has q
delicate child would try Vinol on our
agreement to return their money if it
fails to give satisfaction.

GERMAN CALVARYMEN
CARELESS OF HORSES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON. Oct. 23.-However effec-
tive the German army may be in other
respects, its cavalry men, even the
Uhlan, do not know how to take care
of horses says E. A. Cantrell of New
port, Kentucky, who has arrived in
London after an exciting trip through
the German lines in Belgium. Every
cavalry horse he observed, seemed to
suffer from sore back. The returning
cavalrymen generally led their mounts
with saddle loosened. Some Of the
backs were quite raw. This IS largely
due, he thinks, to the way TIE Germans
have of turning around in tn cir saddles
to ease their positions when on the
march.
The German artillery and equipment
impressed Cantrell as being perfect.
There was not a detail lacking. The
men all fit their places and seemed in
the best of spirits.

PUBLIC FORGETS FIGHTING
IN ALSlCASE WHILE SCRAP
Goes ON IN NORTH
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Oct. 23.-The stupendous OPP
erations of the millions of men fighting
in Belgium and northern France have
quite overshadowed the struggle for
the possession of Southern Alsace
which was the first really important
development of the war. Official COM
munications have largely ignored this
theater of operations and most people
are unaware that the struggle has
continued and that the region between
Altkirch and Cernay has seen several
reverses of the fortune of war.
The town of Thanh, important be-
cause commanding the valley of Wes-
serling has been taken and retaken
several times. Mulhausen, twice taken
and occupied by the French, was at
last accounts again in the hands of
the Germans, as a result of the with
drawal of General Pau's army to rein
force the armies of the north.
Dispatches from Basic state that
each one of these changes Of fortune
has been particularly trying to the
population. Conspicuous native Alsac-
ians were punished after the first Ger
man reoccupjation for alleged ser
vices rendered to the French, while,
after the second French occupation it
was the turn of native German citizens
to suffer for giving information to the
Germans.
At Thanh the German mayor and
postmaster were shot after the second
French occupation for spying in favor
of the Germans. Moreover, in retalia-
ton for the action of the French in
taking away with them all the men OF
age to bear arms from the villages &C.
cupied by them, the Germans called
out every man in Alsace between the
ages of II and 45. In consequence
there is much distress in many vii
lagos where there are only old men
women and children left.

tries is far from seeing the end of it,

ENGLISH POETS BUSY
COMPOSING WAR SONGS
(By Associated Press. J

LONDON, OcI. Z0.-1ne common
greeting in London is How are you
getting along with your war song?'
Everybody is writing a war song, hop
ing to give Britain another Marseil-
laise. But so far none of the recruiting
songs which the music halls are trying
to popularize have taken with the re-
cruits, whose favorite remains the en-
tirely unmartial tits A Long Way to
Tpperay." The favorite whistling
tune on the march is by all odds the
Marseillaise, although the soldiers
chorus from Faust" and any spirited
air has only to be started to be taken
up by the entire line. This is why
most of the war song composers choose
he old tunes rather than those made
to order.
One amateur poet sent set OF
verses to the London Times with the
chorus:
Here's to Lord Kitchener; brown as
the sun,
Gentle, persuasive and balmy;
Giving his orders and getting them
done,
All that he wants for the army"
In this case the writer's attempt 70
rhmye balmy with army caused much
greater indignation among the untu-
tored recruits than among the scholar
poets, for "barmy" in common use
means weak in the intellect.
Barmy, however, is used in its cor
rect sense by the brokers' battalion CT
the Glasgow stock exchange, who call
themselves Cameron men. Their wall
begins.
why did we join the Cameron men?
Why did we join the army?
Why did we come to Aldershot?
Because we're bally well barmy.
Skilly and duff, skilly and duff,
Because ye're bally we'll barmy."
The Liverpool regiment has dis
tinctive marching song in the Lanca-
shire dialect. 1t runs:
1--WE all COON fra Lancashire,
We all COON fra Lancashire,
Gradely fowk from a gradely place,
By Gum, we mean to show the pace.
We all COON fra Lancashire,
We're all BARNS of a feyther
If tha'll ha' one wi me.
Then I'll ha' one wi thee,
For we're all good pals together"
There are many songs in dialect by
which commands from certain pro-
vincial points identify themselves. OF
the purely patriotic songs, by far the
most popular is Rule Britannia"
