BIG CROPS AND I'M.
MIGRATION

The United States has har-
vested an enormous crop. BE-
sides the wealth that remains
at home on the farms there IS
a large exportable surplus.
Yet a ride through the country
shows the farming resources
OF the country. and especially
OF the South. to be as yet halt
developed. immigration has
swept beyond the South and
has takeu up practically all the
free lands. Now that h S
premium upon settling in the
other regions no longer occurs,
the land to the south may ex-
pect to receive a valuable adj
dition to its white population
The land is here unworked,
ready Tor the support OF att
corners. However, the long
continued movement elsewhere
has created somewhat o a
prejudice against this section.
The South appears, it is true
in railway folders as a tourists
heaven. place Of sunshine anc
golf links when it is really
land Of crops and climate and
home life. The facts as to the
productivity Of the South can.
not long be hid from prospect
i've homeseekers. With thel'
influx, farming lands will in
crease in value and some o
the problems of the South viii
be measurably nearer solution

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK.

SO cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone

will clean your sluggish liver better than
nasty calomel; it won't make you sick
and you can eat anything you want
without being salivated. Your druggist
guarantees that each spoonful will start
your liver, clean your bowels and
straighten you up by morning or you
get your money back. Children gladly
take Dodson's Liver Tone because it is
pleasant tasting and doesn't grippe or
cramp or make them sick
| am selling millions Of bottles Of
nodson's Liver Tone to people who have
found that this pleasant, vegetable, liver
medicine takes the place of dangerous
calomel. Buy one bottle on my sound,

THE SISTERS BEHIND
THE FIRING LINE
GA British Captain in Atlantic
Monthly

At I the next morning
received my own injury and
first acquaintances with t h e
sisters behind the firing line.
1t is difficult to speak with
out emotion of the sisters, those
quiet figures in scarlet and
gray whom one discerns with
the renewal of consciousness.
One comes to them out OF the
weller of mud and blood and
din; the calm and quiet where
they rule gains by the contrast.
Not very young women as the
years 60, they are Of the right
age to work Serene, DEVOTED.
they come and go through the
half-lights of awakening and
return; selAess, uniting, they
anticipate ones smallest needs
through the dragging hours Of
the long night. Among them
recall faces whose beauty
was three parts love and pity
cannot write OF them here; |
san only salute and pass on.

PROSPERITY

The South. and with it tht
entire country, IS now in the
enj oyment OF prosperity such
as has not beel felt in many
years.
For more than year bus
mess in the United States, as
| n other neutral countries,

in Europe. A depression IN
some lines was experienced.
while in others there was par
tel paralysis, and the general
effect W discouraglng o.
many who could not foresee
an early Improvement OF huS-
Einess and Industrial conditions.
But the turn Of the tide ha'
come and prosperity is Begin
nng to manifest itself IN an
appreciable quantity. It IS not
confined to Wall Streer, or to
the financial interests, OF to the
manufacturing cen'ers, but 1t
has spread out all over the
country. 1t is felt in Bristol as
IN New York.
New York merchants say
that Americans h We more
money to spend for shopping
This year than in any holiday
season for the last ten years
The big stores of Gotham are
preparing for a record trade
during December, and eve n
now the wholesale houses are
unable to fill orders in many
lines. Bristol merchants say
that business has increased lr
every branch of trade; that in
retail channels the flow Of goods
! lis UNPRECEDENTED; that t h
f! Christmas trade has already be
gun to grow to large proper
tons, and that collection are
remarkably good.
Reports o + business con-
ditlons as received in Wash

prosperity in t h e Southern
