SUSPECT YOUR
 KIDNEYS
Too Many Pine Bluff People Neglect Early Symptoms of Kidney
 Trouble.

If your back is lame-if you feel dull, tired and all-worn out
 If you have hard headaches, back aches and dizzy spells
 Suspect your kidneys and "take a stitch in time."
 Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the time tried, home-endorsed kidney remedy.
 It may save you from some serious kidney trouble.
 Make use of the experience of Mrs. F. A. Carver, of 1905 West Third street. She says: "I believe that my kidneys became weakened on account of a sickness I had some time ago. I had pains through the small of my back and other kidney ailments. A box of Doan's Kidney Pills gave relief right away"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Carvev had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.Adv.

NEW COTTON CROP CONDITION BETTER
 THAN MONTH AGO
Commercial Appeal Cores pondents Report Gain,
 But Below Average.

The condition of the cotton crop is 70.1 per cent of normal, according to reports of average date of June 22, from correspondents of The Conner cial Appeal throughout the belt.
 This compares with government fig ures of 69.5 per cent as of May 25, and shows gain for the crop, in com- parison with these figures, of six tenths of one per cent. The govern ment condition last year at this date was S1.1 per cent of normal.
 Owing to overflows along the Mis- sissippi river and the blowing up of some cotton and replanting to corn on account of poor stands of the form CT, there is an indicated further slight decrease in the acreage over the 3.2 per cent reported by The Commercial Appeal in it's May 25 report.
 The plant has much little growth during the past month. Low temper atures have held it in check, and along tual damage is reported. Many plants fin this section are dying from lack of proper root growth. As a rule the plant is small and makes poor show ing. Blooms are reported almost up u d llHc eVcIl WlIu Cuc SOuLIloTl UOun- dary of Tennessee, but these represent plants that escaped the cool weather early in May, rather than the average crop.
 Dry weather has done some dam age in Texas, especially in the western portion of the state. In the northern part, however, the plant is holding up well. but needing rain. Rain is also needed in Louisiana and portions of Alabama and Georgia, precipitation having been unevenly distributed in the latter states.
 Cultivation as rule is well advanc- ed. Soil is in good tilth and fields are clean, and the crop ready to make the most of favorable weather should it visit the belt for any length of time.
 Boil weevil are reported in many in Tested areas, but to date no damage of consequence has been done.
 Conditions by states, with compar- isons with June 25, last year, follow:
