to my hips. My lower limbs were stiff

The Australian Sugar Journal brings
q bee story Of live interest. The bees

and when recent storm uncovered the

of it away. A swarm even made -

in diameter forms the opening there and

LOUISIANA SUGAR NEWS.

The weather in Iberia has changed
from the drought condition to one of
daily showers. The situation in Iberia
was the situation all over the sugar dis
trict with very few exceptions this week
except possibly in St. Landry Parish
around the city of Opelousas, which
later on was reported by the Weather
Bureau to have had heavy rain of about
two inches on Tuesday. The entire
southern section of Louisiana, according
to the same authority, on Wednesday
was visited by rains of most satisfad-
tory volume ranging from one to four
inches and the four inches of rain were
reported from st. Mary. In fact, the
Government weather observation station
at Franklin reported rainfall of almost
five inches on Tuesday. The rains had
this week throughout the sugar district
were of hurricane character, but were
not accompanied by hurricane, winds and
no damage was done to the cane or
other crops by the little more than ordi-
nary high winds that prevailed for some
time on Tuesday. These rains were pre-
ceded by more or less general and heavy
showever in the western end of the beat
in those parishes where the cane crop
was reported to be. away below 10 per
cent of normal. So that the situation this
Thursday is very much more gratifying
than it was last week, with its numerous
reports of burning cane and corn. The
showers have generally continued through
to Thursday and the July hot dry days
have been offset in their eqect upon the
1913 cane fields in Louisiana. There
is no doubt felt at all that the August
reports On the cane condition will bring
the percentage of the cane back close to
the excellent showing of July 1st The
crop then was above o5 per cent OF nor
NAL. The rains were big along the river
even through West Baton Rouge, some
sections, of course, getting more than
others, but almost all getting some of
great enough volume to shatter the
pessir1ism that the warm, dusty month
of July had created Immense benefit
was done to the crops and many say that
were it not for the war news the ester
prising daily newspapers would have
,headlined the rainfall of this week as a
million dollar rain or the many million
dollar rain.
In Vermilion abundant precipitations
of rain of two or more inches daily have
worked like magic on the cane crop there
which was suffering amongst the great
est from the drought so that by now they
are talking Of 100 per cent crop this
fall instead Of the woful estimates last

to arm against the North. Animosities
with regard to trade and the control of
trade-routes would have arisen, with the
forts marking the boundary line, to-
gether with the frequent ALARMS and
constant burdens that characterized life
in Europe before the war.
It would seem as if world parliament
might do for the world that the Con-
gress TO the United States has done tor
the states of America. While leaving
the various peoples to dispose of their
purely national affairs as they might
please, world parliament, backed with
force as the decisions Of our Congress
are backed with force, should be able to
settle good many international diff
culties that now end in war. Equally
important, it should be able to end mill
tarism. The keeping of military force
by single nation in excess of the
amount required to preserve order at
home should be prohibited.
It may be said that Mr.. Bennett IS
talking about Utopia. If so, it is some
what of relief to talk about Utopia
after living four years in hell. But
is it uptopian to suggest that the world

Steps are being taken to change the

In other wars enlisted soldiers
of Uncle Sam were given a cloth
ing allowance in addition to their
regular pay. Clothing drawn was
charged against this account and
usually there was a surplus. which
was drawn in cash Theoretically
the men paid for their uniforms
and they had a right to do with
them as they pleased when leaving
the service. In this war there was
no clothing allowance, apparel
being issued as needed and the
ownership remaining with the war
department.

LOST HIS
 ENGINE
Had Bright's Disease-Took "Hobo'
 -Got His Engine Back Again.

Railroads companies are strict about the physical condition of their loco motive engineers. An engineer has hundreds of lives in his custody every time he takes out train load of pas sengers. So when Engineer B. S. Hardy, of Marshall, Tex, got sick and was examined by the chief surgeon of the Texas Pacific hospital, he was made to quit work when the doctor found he had a very bad case of sBright's Disease. Hardy then went to Denver, Col.-to specialist-who found the blood pressure 225 and urine full of albumin. Doctor told him he would neve1Sbe able to work any more. Hardy then returned home and some friend suggested that he take the cele- brated Hobo Kidney and Bladder Rem edy. He took thirteen bottles, was again examined by chief surgeon, who said his blood pressure was normal and no albumin. Got his engine back and heartily recommends "Hobo'' to all afflicted with kidney trouble. Try Hobo" Your druggist can supply you-$1 per bottle. Or write to Hobo Medicine Manufacturing Co.,, Singer, La., for descriptive booklet and sworn testimonials.
