A MERCILESs JUDGE.
One Who Show, No Favor.

A merciless Judge is Father Time
Before him the weak and the wanting
go to the wall. Only the truth car
stand. For years the following state
ment from Milford resident has with
stood this sternest of all tests.
William R. Hudson. Milford, says:
MY back was in such bad shape that il
required an effort to walk even a block
and l was hardly able to move. My
kidneys did not act right and were weak.
The kidney secretion contained sediment
and l had sharp, shooting pain through
my loins. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills rid me of the trouble" (State-
ment given November 25th, 1909.
Over three years later, Mr.. Hudson
said: ''My kidneys haven troubled me
since the cure was made"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Hudson
had. Foster Milburn Co.. Props, Buff

FIRE DAMAGES JkWtLRY STORE

A fire which threatened to destroy
the big jewelry store of Baynard
Banks & Bryan, Fifth and Market
streets, Wilmington, while inflicting
serious damage last Friday night, did
not put them out of business by any
means, for even while a hundred or
more firemen fought the flames the
heads of the firm made plans to re-
pair the damage and reopen Wednes-
day morning of this week. AS a re-
suit of this grim determination in the
face of disaster-for the fire did dam
age to the amount of possibly 100000
the store was opened again Wednes-
day to take care of its regular Christ
mas trade. Workmen worked all day
Saturday night and Sunday
to get things in shape. All of which
evidenced a real prOgressiveness and
won the admiration of innumerable
men and customers of this
well known concern.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way with
a cough. A cough is a danger signal as
much as fire bell. You should no more
try to suppress it than to stop a fire
bell when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing.
This can nearly always be done by TAX
ing Chamberlain S Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for the
persistent cough that so often follows
bad cold or an attack of the grip.
Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind,
writes During the winter my hus-
band takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. Chamberlain Cough Remedy
is the best medicine for breaking uD
these attacks and you cannot get him to
take any other" Obtsinable every
where.

many words of comfort, and so many
efforts to relieve the sharp sorrow at
this double loss, that our confidence in
the brotherhood of all christian people
has tyeen strengthened, and we thank
the KIND friends for their deeds of kind
ness a Ind their words of comfort during
the gifeat trials Of the past two weeks.

South Plunges Forward With
Rapid Strides In Development
OF Her Manufacturing Plonts

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 6.-The
Southern Aluminium Co., of Badin, N.
c., controlled by French capitalists,
who, prior to the war, were building as
rapidly as possible a plant to cost
100000, but upon which work has
been stopped since the war, will be
taken over by the Aluminium Company
CT America, Pittsburg, Pa, and much
larger plant built than: even the French
capitalists had under construction.
This will be one of the most important
industrial enterprises in the entire
South, requiring several thousand
skilled laborers and putting the South
to the forefront in the production OF
aluminium
This deal is typical of the increasing
activity which is seen in every part of
the South is industrial, railroad and
general business conditions, and is in
dicative of the renewed attention which
is being given to Southern investments
by outside capitalists.
The Durham Steel Products Co., has
been organized by strong capitalists
of Durham, N. c., for the purpose of
building a plant to manufacture war
munitions, and it is reported that the
company has an initial contrct to fur
nish 100000 shells for shipment TO
Europe.
The Consumers Portland Cement
Co., of Chicago, has let contract for
tie construction at Foreman, Ark, of
plant to have a daily capacity of g.
600 barrels of cement.

TUBERCULOSIS IS
FIGHT FOR PUBLIC
NONE BEFORE DUTY

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 6.-Governor
Charles S. Witham characterized the
fight against tuberculosis as "a public
duty, second to none" in an address
last night before the joint meeting of
the North Atlantic tuberculosis Con.
ference and the New York State Tu-
berculosis Conference. Important and
telling blows had been delivered il
many fields in the eight-year anti-tub-
erculosis campaign in this state, said
Governor Whitman and he believed the
white plague could be completely
stamped OF if the preventative work

larging it's coal mining operations.
The Developers Oil & Refners Co,
OF Shreveport, Ala, capitalized at
$250,0O0, will build an oil refinery and
may increase its capital stock at ST.
100000. The Panhandle Refining Co,
Wichita Falls, Texas, will build an oil
refinery with daily capacity of 1000
barrels, and also IA miles of pipe lines
and pumping station, with capacity
Of 5000 brrels. Great activity is re-
ported in oil interests in Oklahoma,
Texas and nearby sections in the Dor
ing of wells and the building of new
refineries A refinery with daily ca
pacity of 1000 barrels is projected for
Wichita Falls, Tex, and another re-
tining plant is to be constructed at
Austin, Texas A new refining plant
has been completed at Gainesville,
Tex, with a reported capacity of 10000
barrels per day.
The American Agricultural & Chem
ical Co., of New York, has purchased
at Greensboro, N. c., a site on which to
tuild a fertilizer factory at a cost of
about 100000.
The Sunflower Milling Co., Ruleville,
Miss, will build flour and cornmeal
mill, with daily capacity of so bar
rels.
There is a very marked improvement
in lumber conditions throughout the
South, as well as in naval stores and
other interests which have long been
depressed. The iron and steel inter
ests are crowded to their utmost capa-
city and efforts are being made to put
into shape for operation some of the
long idle furnaces in various parts of
the South, in order to take advantage
of the increasing demand at stead
lily rising prices for pig iron.
The first textile exhibit ever held in
the South, which is now in progress 1T
Greenville, S. c., is attracting very
great attention from textile-machinery
| people in New England, who are lead
| ing exhibitors and who are attending
in large numbers, and from cotton
| manufacturers Of all sections.

was pushed by all agencies as hard as
it might be.
Governor Whitman said the move
ment againt tuberculosis had been
more widespread in New York than in
any other state, but this work had been
carried on largely by county and NUM-
cipal organizations, and now the state
ought to give far more assistance than
1t had in the past. He quoted Surgeon
General William c. Gorgas, U. S. A., as
stating that the biggest thing that
needs to be done in public health work
in the next five yers is to concentrate
cur energies, time and resources upon
tie prevention of tuberculosis.
TIL joint meeting will pass upon the
survey of the tuberculosis work &C.
tomplished by the state organization
as we'll as by the North Atlantic con-
ference, and upon this survey will be
based the plans for the campaign of
the ext eight years.
