WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Dresden People in Poor
Health Without Know
ing the Cause.

There are scores Of people who drag
out a miserable existence without
realizing the cause of their suffering,
Day after day they are racked with
backache and headache; suffer from
nervousness, weakness, languor and
depression. Perhaps the kidneys have
fallen behind in their work of tiltering
the blood and that may be the root OF
the trouble, Look to your kidneys
assist them in their work-give them
the help they need, You can use no
more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Below is grateful testimony from a
sufferer in this locality.
E. H. Collier, retired former, 2O5
Oakland St., Martin, Tenn, says;
my kidneys were weak and could
MT control the kidney secretions, |
used Doan's Kidney Pills as directed
and they acted quickly in regulating

Millions
In Overland Cars

Few people outside of those fa-
miliar with the finances of big
automobile manufacturing con-
Germ like the Willys.Overland
Company have any conception of
the enormous amount of money
represented in the shipments of
cars from the factory.
They know in, a general way
that hundreds of cars are shipped
from the Toledo plant every day,
but the mere mention of these
figures is Of little interest to them.
The shipments might vary any
where from one hundred to one
thousand cars a day without at
tracing the attention Of the
average man or woman who reads
the newspapers.
At the present time the average
daily shipments OF Overland and
Willys-K Knight cars from the plant
are valued at $612.000. This has
run as high as $778,000 in q
single day when the factory broke
all records by shipping the greatest
number of medium and popular
priced cars ever made in twenty
four hours.
During the month of April cars
left the factory valued at $12,654,-
$50, which is nearly three times
the value of April shipments a
year ago.
The third of the calendar year
April 80 was the biggest
in the history of the Toledo con-
Germ. Over SAT-, 783,93O worth Of
cars were shipped, which is all
he more remarkable considering
he fact that this tremendous de-
nand for cars came at a time
when half the country was in the
clutches of the winter weather.
Since April 81, 1915, shipments
valued at $95,681, $50 left the
overland factory. Although this
is staggering and almost
beyond the comprehension of the
average reader, it represents but
title over half Of the estimated
,alue Of the shipments for the
ear 1916.

she will move Pete'8 house and

We have frequently pointed out
that Dresden is keeping pace
with her sister towns in the
matter Of improvements. This
cannot be truthfully controverted,
for there is hardly a week that
some nice improvement is not in
of construction here.

West Tenn. Bust
ness Men to Meet.

| GdWard Mccormack, secretary.
treasurer Of the league of West
Tennessee Business Mems clubs
returned Saturday from Union
City, where he attended meeting
Of the executive committee of the
league.
Representatives Of eight OF the
clubs of the league attended the
Union City meeting. 1t was an
enthusiastic gathering and be-
fore the days work was done a
programme had been mapped out
for the convention in Dyersburg
in July that should prove of great
good to the entire west end of the
state, according to Mr.. McCor-
mack.
T. J. Taylor, of Martin, presi-
dent of the league, stated that he
believed that the league was
forging to the front as the greatest
power for good in West Tennes-
see. He said that he believed
that every speaker on the pro-
gramme at Dyersburg should
have a vital message to deliver to
the assembled clubs.
A committee will work in con.
nection with the office of the
president and secretarv-treasurer
in securing the speakers. The
topics will cover good roads,
diversified farming, drainage, edu-
cation, organization of commercial
clubs, land title legislation and
other kindred topics.
J. B. Carpenter of Dyersburg
headed a delegation to the COM
mittee meeting and gave a cordial
invitation to the committeeman
to have big delegations at Dyers-
burg. He said that DYersburg
was making elaborate prepare
tions for the meeting and ex-
peeted it to be larger than any
ever held by the league. In the
Dversburg delegation were G. S.
Hall and M. A. Scott, who also
invited the league members to
come in a large number.
Among the others at the meet
ing were G. B. Baird of Obion,
A. B. Foust of Humboldt, ]. D.
Talley of Trenton, Joe Browder,
W. K. Hall, James White, J. L.
Pickering OF Fulton, W. G. Rev.
nolds and George Dahnke of
Union City.
On his way home Mr.. Nc
Cormack stopped off at Obion,
where the commercial club is
preparing to inaugurate a season
Of activity. The Obion people
we're one of the biggest factors in
the road building work last year
and are preparing not only to con-
tinue this activity, but are also
anxious to develop Obion as a
better market. They are raising
good crops, Mccormack says, and
improving conditions generally
all of the time.
At last six towns in the league
are planning to start MEMBERSHIP
campaigns within the next few
days. Plans for these campaigns
are now being worked out in the

 STOCK MARKET

New York, Sept. 19.-Opening.-Fur- ther signs of realizing sales were ind1- cated by tho irregular course of to- days initial operations, although gains outnurnbered recessdons.o Rails moved unevenly, Reading. Union Pacific. Bal timore & Ohio. Chesapeake & Ohio, and Fries scoring substahtial ad- vances, with fractional declines in other leaders of that group. Mun1- tions, equipments, Petroleums and coppers were higher by one to two points, and Continental Can led its es- pecial class at an advance of almost three points. Further improvement was shown in the first half hour, Reading. General Electric and United States Steel being the foremost fea- lures.
 I Noon.-Tradfng during the forenoon. which was on a more moderate scale than at any similar period in the past fortnight, resolved itself into a con- test between opposing professional in terests, the bear faction showing greater activity Selling concentrated upon Steel, Union Pacific, Reading and other leaders but exercised little moro than temporary effect. Speculative 1s- sues yielded to occasional pressure but this was overcome later when rails re- sponded to a renewed demand. Sugar stocks also developed marked strength. Bonds, especially international issues, were irregular. ti

if rates are lowered the English Trea- sury is at once confronted with the fact that American financial institu- tions and individuals who have on deposit in London at lucrative rates large sums will, not unnaturally, withdraw these funds in the event of rates at home proving equally as at tractive. Such a withdrawal of funds could hardly fail to influence unfa- vorably the sterling exchange and create an undesirable situation. Hence if rates in London are to be lowered the present difference that exists be- tween London and New York rates must in some measure be maintained. In these circumstances the phenome- nal importation of gold that is taking place would not be as difficult to un- derstand. especially when it is re- called that under the new Federal re- serve banking law banks are obli- gated to carry a reserve of only IS per cent. against deposits, as against 25 per cent. under the former nation al banking law, thus making the loan ing ability of the banks upon gold as reserve virtually skiold against four fold as formerly was the case.
 
 continue active. Leading steel au- thorities have been quoted in news paper interviews as declaring the sit +uation unprecedentedly active and as expecting full continuance of cur rent conditions for at least many months to come. Bank exchanges bear out these optimistic statements. For the month of August in nearly all American centers high record to- tals have been established, the total for the entire country, comparing with a year ago, showing an increase of 3S per cent. while for the eight months of the calendar year 1916 a gain of Al per cent. over 1915 is shown and A 1-2 per cent. over 014. The same general trend of Testimony is contained in the latest reports of rail- road earnings As compared with the first six months of 1915 gross earnings of American roads for the first half of 1916 increased no, less than $32S,012,ooo, equivalent to 23 per cent, while the net earnings in creased $166,151, 900, or AZ per cent. Our country unquestionab1y is passing through period of imitation that seems destiAed to increase substan- tially before, the final check comes. The foreign liquidation seems to have been responsible for some measure of the failure of securities to join fully in this admitted imitation. The current wave of enthusiasm suggests opportunities for alert operators. There seems no doubt that important financial interests recently have been heavy buyers and are ipclined to sup port the market.

the Lue and she was sent out with two men and Captain Smith on board, and Grover Vim left this af ternoon in his pleasure boat to as- sist in the search.
 The prevalent opinion in Juneau | Is that the boys have been lost, due 10 the fact that their out board engine was still attached to the boat. which shows that they had not landed to make camp. The pro Ipeller of an Evinrude motor extends several inches below the keel of 1 a skin and 1t is necessary to re- move the engine before making landing on the beach. The further fact that their fish poles were still
 II the boat tends to show also that they had not landed to make camp.
 Earl Maud. who was out with Commissioner J. B. Marshall on a ,icnic at Grindstone creek Sunday,
 aw the boat with the boys in 1t about 8:30 o'clock that night. At that time the boys were headed up the inlet and their boat had but few inches Of freeboard
 w. w. Casey, who was up Taku Inlet later Sunday night stated that the sea became very rough and nasty there shortly before dark and it is feared the boys boat was sud denly swamped, either by a wave. the swell from a passing gas boat, Tor a tide-rip.
 It is considered unlikely that the boys would be able to swim far in the cold waters of the Inlet and unless close to shore their chances of making the beach are con- sidered very slight.
 Nearly every citizen in Juneau holds himself ready to assist in the search in any way possible but until reports are received from the sev- eral searching boats out now, prob ably nothing further will be done,
