WHEN THE KIDNEYS FAIL
MaysNllle People Have Found That Ill

Do you ever feel that you simply
can't go any further-that you must
have rest from that lame and aching
back-relief from the sonstant, dead
tired feeling-freedom from those
stabbing, darting pains? Likely your
kidneys are worn and tired and need
help. The kidneys work night and
day, removing uric acid from the
blood and other waste created by ex-
penditure of strength and energy.
Naturally a life of unusual activity
doubles the duties OF the kidneys and
In time the strain generally tells.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
new strength TO thousands OF bad
backs and quick relief to weakened
kidneys, so users say. Let them do
the same for you.
S. o. Duncan, blacksmith, Flemings-
burg Ky, says: 81 had severe back
aches and my kidneys were out of or

them a trial and was soon convinced
Of their merit. They strengthened my

Albert Saplding, the Americai vio-
llnist, who made his first big tour OF
the south this season, and who is te

story OF how he came 20 compose al

Of sportily dressed American negroes
came in. From their conversation,
Mr.. Spalding gathered that the two

were exceeding lonely, and were
longing for a chance to get back home
as soon as possible. The conversation
amused Mr.. Spalding to such an ex-
tent that he walked over and asked
where they were from. Both an

taller of the two then gave the vio-

APPLES ARE
STILL PLENTIFUL
Figures Show That the StOrages On

Fourth Million Fa-
miles,

Washington, ID. C.-The condition Of
the apple market is a matter Of grave
concern to both growers and dealers
all over the country, The report of
cold storage holdings of apples on
April l, recently issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
gives some figures which probably
will cause all dealers interested in
the crop to speed up the movement
Of this fruit in a most vigorous way
This report, which was compiled In
the office of Markets and Rural Or
ganization, shows that on the first of
last month there were approximately
A per cent more apples in cold stor-
age than at the same date on year ago,
and the season of 19l4-l5 was one of
unusually heavy production. Fig
ures from 427 storages indicate that
nearly 80 per cent of the apples
which were placed in cold storage by
December /, 1915, were still there on
April ! waiting to be consumed.
Hope that this will DO a backward
spring is general among apple deal
ers, for as long as cold days continue
free movement of the fruit is more
certain. However, let warm days
come to stay and, Judging from past
experiences, apple sales are very like
y to decrease rapidly,
Doubtless there are several reasons
for the present conditions. The fact
that the past seasons commercial
crop was considerably smaller than
that of a year ago led to expectation
on the part of growers and dealers
alike, last fall. that the prospective
market would be much stronger than
has actually proven the case. AS a
result, much stock changed hands at
values i'm excess Of those which mar
keting conditions since show were
warranted. This caused higher open
lHb prices lidl III lJlt' anu udluldllN
slowed up the movement. Neither
rowers nor dealers who held the
fruit seemed inclined to put sales
with the vigor that was displayed the
previous year, when they had an enor-
nous crop to market, and the result
vas that large quantities of apples
were put into cold storage with the
hope that the winter and spring mar
kets would strengthen sufficiently to-
allow a margin of profit. In spite of
the fact that last falls commercial
crop was estimated around ten million
barrels short OF the previous one, the
amount placed in cold storage ex
oeeded that store in 1914 by about 1875
per cent.
. A second explanation is found in
the fact that exports Of apples from
the ports Of the United States alone
up TO March l, 1916. were 669, 500 bar
rels less than for a similar period last
season. aud April reports are expect
Cd TO show a much larger difference.
Had the normal exports traffic in
apples prevailed. the amount of stock
on hand in this country would be con-
smaller.
