Wrapping Irvine From Paper

That wrapping twines which give
thorough satisfaction can be made
from paper has been demonstrated
by experiments made by the Forest
Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis
consin. Several hundred packages,
each containing a mediums sized book,
We're wrapped and fastened with the
lightest-weight paper Irvine and were
mailed to various points throughout
the United States. Reports show that
practically every package was receiv-
ed in good order and that in no case
was there any damage which could be
charged as the fault of the Irvine.
In making Irvine the paper is cut
into narrow strips which are then
twisted tightly to form cord. The
strength of the Irvine depends upon
the character of the paper used and
the process of treatment. 1t is well
adapted to a number of purposes,
but the foresters say that as yet no
satisfactory means has been found
for protecting paper Irvine from the
action of water and it should not be
used whore it will be exposed to mols-
ture.

Work Wears On Kidneys

Service For People Who Work In
Elkton.

Many Elkton people work every day
i'll some strained. unnatural position
bending constantly over a .desk--rid-
ing on jolting wagons or cars-doing
laborious homework; lifting, reaching
or pulling. or trying the back in
hundred and one other ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of filtering the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills are for weak kidneys and
bad backs. Their effective work in
Elkton is convincing proof of merit.
VIM. H. Marques. Moffitt street,
Elkton, says: "About seven years
ago | strained my back by lifting and
after that it gave ME considerable
trouble when | had to do any work
that obliged me to stoop. Sharp,
shooting pains seized me in the small
OF my back When learned of Doan's
Kidney Pills through friend | started
taking them and they cured me. ] got

Why Raise Live Stock

Because the raiser of live stock has
wider range of time in which to
market his products than in the case
of most other products of the farm.
Because the raising of stock makes
possible diversified farming that fav-
ors independence. A diversified farm
with no live stock is difficult thing
TO handle successfully.
Because in all nations where live
stock is largely raised agriculture is
OIL firm basis.
Because it is a patriotic duty to
provide for the people the various
kinds of meat food they need and the
foods from the products of animals,
such as cheese and butter, and the
materials out of which to manufacture
all kinds of the best of garments.

President Weegham has declined to
deny or affirm the rumor 1t is known
that he is far from satisfied with the
showing which Tinker has made this

fans and critics that Tinker placed
too high value upon the material of
the former Chicago Federal league
team, which was absorbed into the

Business Is injured.

A shortage in box cars on practl'
cally all the railroads penetrating and
traversing the Southern lumber dis
tricts has SO affected many OF the
mills during recent days as to almost
paralyIe them.
1t became known today that mil
lions of feet of lumber are stored i'll
the yards of the mills in the Hatties-
burg district, awaiting shipment,
while Northern and Eastern buyers
are crying for it, Indications are that
this condition will not be betteIed in
the near future.
Two hundred and fifty box cars Of
the Mississippi Central are missing
and can't be located. Something like
700 other cars of this type are in
other parts of the United States, and
the officials are unable to get them
back in their own service.
The Gulf and Ship Island and the
New Orleans and Northeastern Off
cials are in the predicament. let
ter just received from the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad, by
Hattiesburg railroad official, says
that 5000 of their box cars are now
in the hands of other railroads, and
that they are unable to have them
returned.
Every lumber company in this sec
tion is suffering and the commission
men have almost given up all hope of
being able to get their orders out any
way soon.
One manufacturing company here
has been endeavoring for days to get
twenty-five cars to fill a rush order,
and has failed.
