Get at the root of the trouble.
Rubbing an aching back may re-
lieye it.
But won't cure it if the kidneys are
weak
You must reach the root Of 1.-THE
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills go right at it;
Reach the cause; attack the pain.
Are recommended by many Annapo-
lis people.
Thomas Jacobs, 119 Prince George
St, Annapolis, says: About a year
ago l suffered from pains across the
small of my back and the spells were
so bad / could hardly attend to my
work. In the morning when got up,
l felt as If I had not slept and /
was always tired and languid ana
lacked ambition. Finally I heard
of Doan's Kidney Pills and on using
them / got great relief from the first.
/ took three boxes in all and was
helped. 1 still take Doan's Kidney
Pills now when / feel in need of a
kidney tonic and / shall always re-
commend them to other kidney suffer-
ers."

and while he watched US work the

COTTON

New Orleans, December 2.-The ten dency in cotton last week was still up- ward, prices at no time being below the level of the preceding weeks close, while at their best they were 55 to S8 points over. The net results were a gain of r to 51 points. New high levels were reached by all months in the contract market, December touching g cents In the spot department there was a rise of 63 points to 29.13 cents for middling, a new high price.
 The advances of the week were based mainly on the widespread demand for spots and the continued favorable re- ports from mill centers regarding the extent of the demand for finished goods. Political news at times had an unset ting effect and toward the end the re- opening of Congress Monday had the eff feet of bringing out liquidation of long cotton.
 This week the trade expects Congress to be responsible for at least the minor swings in the market. The foreign sit uation holds possibilities of importance. The spot market will be closely watched and so will exports because of the ten dency of foreign shipments to increase of, late, but the greatest factors in the trading undoubtedly will be the coming crop estimate by the government, due December Il. Much of the trading will be in preparation for this bureau day, which Is quite generally regarded as the most important of the year.

STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, December 2-Ushering in the final month of an eventful year, last weeks stock market disclosed no striking or novel features. Dealings dwinded, developments at home and abroad. together with additional trading barriers erected by the exchange, caus- ing a virtual suspension of public in- qury.
 Attention was focused upon the inter- allied conference. interest being greatly enhanced by the course of events in Russia and England
 The more direct aspects of the inter national financial situation were again furnished by exchange on Rome and Petrograd the former movement corre- spending with the ebb and flow of mili- tary movements in Italy, while rubles were irregular on nominal trading. Scandinavian remittances held strong in the face of Germany's menacing atti- tude toward Denmark.
 Railroad shares manifested further re- actionary tendencies more from sheer in- ertia than for any other reason.
 Coordination of financial and indus trial resources, it Is generally agreed, has arisen to greater efficiency. The investment market continued in state of deadlock, however. as evidenced by the steady shrinkage of gilt-edged bonds.
 Call money rose to 6 per cent, the highest rate in about two months. Time funds are expected to harden apprecia- ply before the end of the year.
