Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it.
J. s. Gilbert, Abbeville, s. c., says
"For six years I suffered from
Kidney complaint. The worst
trouble was a constant, dull pain
in the small of my back. I tired
easily, felt languid and was sub.
iect to headaches and a blurring of
nv sight. The secretions from
nv kidneys were too frequent in
passage and I was obliged to get up
during the night. Learning OF
Doan's Kidney Pills, L got a sup
ply. They relieved me from the
first and I continued taking them
until I was completely cured"

"SterlIized" Business.

In industry and merchandising, 1t is

sterilized corporations shall sell ster'

by sterilized methods. All the germs
are to be extracted. If you make a
little agreement to buy your raw ma.

steal a process from your neighbor, to

Starvation In Japan.

Failure of the rice crop and the
fishing industry have brought the dis
tricts of Tohoku and Hokkaido, north,
ern Japan, one Of the worst famines
that the country has faced in e hun
dred years. Cold weather prevented
the rice from heading out, and un"5u-
ally cold currents have kept the fish
at great distances from the shore
A conservative estimate places the
number who are now in urgent need
of food at 100000.

April Fool Day.

There are all sorts Of theories az
TO the origin Of the merry anniversary,
but the most plausible is the one
which gives the custom its use In
France, about 1864. France was the
first European country to adopt the
reformed calendar, and as a result the
New Year day was carried back to
January 1, and mock calls were made
on April l, as a joke on such as had
forgotten the change in the calendar.

Trylro to Do Too Much.

Many business men are coming to
the conclusion that they would accom-.
plish more if they attempted less. Life
is becoming overcrowded. A success
sion of little things fill the time that
could more wisely be used for the con-
temptation of great tasks and the con
temptation Of lofty purposes. To sim
plify is to strengthen. Life is more
than a mere round Of engagements; II
is a conscious enjoyment and employ
ment Of the spirits highest capacities

The laws Of Chance" or the theory
Of probabilities, have been adopted by
the men of science. Until recently
the only persons who bothered their
heads about the problems that arise
in calculating probabilities were gam

Now the student Of physics is obliged

The youth Of America have not un-

themselves almost on a par with their
parents, while the parents, on the
other hand, also treat them as if they
we're equals, and allow them the ut
most freedom, writes WI Ting Fang
in Harper's Magazine. While a Chi
nese child renders unquestiontng
obedience to his parents orders, such
obedience as a soldier yields to his
superior officer, the American child
must have the why's and the where.
fores duly explained to him, and the
reason for his obedience made clear.
1t is not his parent that he obeys, but

Dressing Pays

Every stalk of cotton grown in South Carolina last year could and
would have taken on more bols than it did fit had been properly side
dressed. You will pot see the long skips between bols in side dressed cot
ton that you see in other cotton, and you will see more bols to the stalk
Every stalk of cotton grown in South Carolina last year would have
"shed" less if it had been properly side dressed. The reason cotton sheds is
that it is deficient in plant food. The only way to supply this plant food is
to side dress your cotton. You can't pump it into it. A young, tender,
growing child should be fed frequently to make it grow rapidlyand develop
and come into it's OWL, and it is the same way with young, tender growing
plants they should be fed (Ide dressed) frequently. You don texpect 10
feed your mule enough in April to last until October and the plant 1000 you
supply your crop with in April will not last until October either When
the plant exhausts your cotton sheds. Your crop is "cut"
You can only make one cotton crop a year. that is your money up You
want to make all tho cotton you can. You want to- make all the money you
can, For every dollar you pay out for fertilizer for side dressing you get
from three to five dollars This man Rodgers in Florence county who ferh-
LIKED every time he cultivated his crop, made $50 pounds of lint cotton 10
the acre, lint coton-notseed cotton-lint cotton. ~
By side dressing early your cotton grows off early and get, its maturity
early and opens early, for when cotton gets its growth and maturity and
ripns it's going to open. Your early cotton weighs better than late cotton
1t takes about 100 boHs of cotton picked in September and October to make
a pound. 1t takes from 300 to 400 bols that are picked in the last half Of
November and later to maksa pound.
When the boil weevil strikes a country the early cotton is all the farmer
gets The boil weevl gets the balance. You don't know when the boil
weevl will strike YOU, Or don't. :
Experienced ginners say that l 300 pounds of side dressed cotton will
make as heaAy a bale as 900 pounds that has not been side dressed. The
two extra bons to the stalk. The right kid properly applied will add more
than that and make every boil heavier, it will add three and four to the
stalk. You will have at least Il, 600 stalks to the acre, taking two extra
bons to the stalk and 19O bols to make a pound you have 200 extra pounds
Of cotton from the extra boHs to say nothing of all the bons being larger and
heavier.
Side dressed cotton stands drought better than other cotton. 1t is bet
ter fed and in better condition to stand anything better. Side dressing
makes more bols. makes heavier bons, makes more lint to the boil. makes
cotton shed less, makes a better sample, that means a better price, causes
your cotton to stand drought better. If side dressing does not pay, it does
not pay to farm. The side dressing specially prepared by the Anderson
Phosphate and Oil Company boys is the goods you need.
