FOREIGN MARKETS
FOR COTTON LINTERS

A survey of the foreign markets for
cotton lnters, batting, and waste has
been completed by American consuls
and the results made public in a report
issued recently by the bureau of fer
eign and domestic commerce, depart
ment Of commerce. This is a subject
concerning which very little informa-
ton has been available in the past,
but the opinion is expressed that if a
careful study of the field is made now
the after war trade will greatly exceed
the total of $11.000,00$ achieved be-
fore hostilities commenced.
The sale Of linters to foreign coun-
tries have increased rapidly since the
war started, as has the price, but the
total exports Of waste have decreased
somewhat, owing to the fact that the
latter material isn'tso importanttowar
industries, and also to the fact that
Germany, the second best customer be-
fore the war is no longer in the market
The market in more than fifty coun-
tries is described in the report, which
is entitled Foreign Markets for Cot
ton Linters, Batting and Waste" Spe-
cial Consular Report No. so. Copies
can be obtained at the nominal price
of 10 sents from the superintendent of

THE CITIZENS OBLIGATION.

In the columns of his paper, the
Commoner, Br. Bryan suggests new
and additional incentive for those who
may hesitate to do their bit toward
the winning of the war. Some of these
days the war will be over and its Prob
lens will, along with other issues, be
up for settlement. Those who have 4
hand in readjusting the country to
the many new situations will be ex-
pected to show that they have assisted
in doing the work and carrying IT,,
burden of the giant conflict. Mr.. Brv-
an in part declares:
In doing his part in subscribing tc
the war loans, the average man is not
only responding to call upon his pat
riotism, but is putting himself in po-
sition to do his part in the work Of
reconstruction when the war is ovec.
There will be much to be done in the
restoration Of normal conditions, in
the rebuilding of the waste places an
in adjusting ourselves to new duties;
and no one can afford to risk having
his right to speak then questioned be-
cause Of failure to aid his governme
in its hour Of stress and strain.
The duties of good citizenship arc
not all comprehended in running the
country and making money. There are
mutual obligations to be met in carry
ing forward the enterprises of the
country as represented in the govern
ment Those who contribute toward
these in patriotic, generous fashion
earn the right to be heard when the
loyal citizen is being consulted in
determining the nations policies. If
one has avoided the duties of a good
citizen, he ought to hesitate befo11
demanding the privileges.
There is no prescription in this coup-
try. There probably will be none. No
citizen has legal right to determine
the limits of his neighbours public du-
ties. But there is an implied obliga-
ton for those who share in the COM
mon veal to share in the common re-
sponsibility. Perhaps some may
avoid just apportionment of the /
burden, others may unduly profit from
their country's extremeties. But such
as these will be in poor attitude to ask
when peace returns.
Better do everything you can to
lelp your country when it needs help.
You will feel better if you have had a

cept q peace based upon the righteous
destruction Of Germany's power. and
the righteous punishment of the Grim
inals who have blackened the earth
with their crimes, is a weakling, a
coward in thought and in act, and is
indeed a pro-German, and should be
spurned by every man who regards
honor and integrity and womanhood.
Should we yield to suggestions for
peace which Germany will soon be put
ting forth in many directions, as il
seeks peace without penalty, We would
be putting a premium upon crime.
upon barbarism and upon outraging, a
premium upon that work of the high
wayman and the lOOter, and premium
upon the moral degradations of the
German business men who deliberate
ly, after years of study, pledged their
cooperation to war for world con-
quest, bribed thereto by the promise of
great individual profits.
This country needs now to drive
home into every mind in America the
conviction that there should be no
peace except a peace dictated by Amer
lea and her allies in Berlin and Vienna
and ConstantinOple; and that this
shall only be considered when these
countries shall have been beaten to
their knees, when they sue for peace
on our terms, of the death penalty for
the leading criminals and an indem-
nifty in money which to the extent that
money can be made to do so will repay
Belgium and France and Serbia and
ROumania and Italy, all of the wreck
and ruin which has been wrought; and
which shall repay to England and
America the full amount of money ex-
pended in putting down these high
waymen, these freeboOters, these pi-
rates, these outragers, these wOuld-be
world lOoters. these thieves and scoun-
drels who have murdered millions,
who have sorrOwed hundreds of mil
lions merely for their own individual
financial profit. By the side of what
they have done Germany seems infn-
itely superior to hell itself in deviltry
and to have usurped Satan's power.
Has Heaven made peace with He'll? /
If not, then let us not for one moment
think of making peace with UNPUBLISHED
and undestroyed Germa-

audience. Many others contributed to
the success Of the campaign; Mr.. Eel
seminal in the loan of the hall; the
Comus club in the loan of the piano;
the States-Graphic in announcing it in
its columns, and Miss Corbett in help
ing to give it publicity through the
county. Free literature on infant
care from the state board of health
and the children's bureau, U. S. de-
partment Of labor, was distributed at
the clinic, The record cards are be-
ing graded by the doctors, and prizes
in thrift stamps will be awarded to
the most perfect babies.
\ The baby week campaign has become
an annual institution. Those who have
helped in the work this year and last
are still more enthusiastic in their
desire to have bigger and better
campaign each succeeding year. One
of the main advantages of the clinic
is the opportunity given the mother to
compare the physical status of the ba-
by each year with his last years rec
ord, and see if he is overcoming the
defects pointed out in the clinic. II
there are many little ones in the fam
lly, this means a considerable saving,

Of modern medical practice is pre-

Lona's early education was neglect

on the farm did the work.
Mrs. Rowe, after vainly trying to
find some OH to train the colt, "got
her dander up" and announced that
she would break Iona herself.
Mrs. Rowe Is So years young, but
size has handled horses all her life and
thought it was about time that Iona
was some good around the place.
So, in the presence OF good sized
gallery of spectators at safe dis.
t'nce, Mrs. Rowe harnessed Iona
without much trouble, then attempted
to hitch her into gig. Iona was so
Indignant that she kicked the gig to
smithereens and kept on kicking, roll
ing her eyes around to her owner in
sheer impudence.
But Mrs. Rowe had no idea of be.

Mrs. Rowe led her into the barn and
closed the doors for private inter

There were several sessions Of the
conference, apparently, and finally
the door opened and Mrs. Rowe led
out a thoroly subdued colt.
She was backed into a wagon and
seemed only too willing to be buckled
in Not a move did she make to kick
and never has since.
Now she is one of the best readers
IN the county. Coming from a line OF
racing blood on one side and from a

it often remains to irritate and infame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; lin,
there is difficulty in avoiding it. n
Bladder weakness, most folks Il it,
because they can't control uriA on.
While it is extremely annoying and ome-
times very painful, this is really One of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is source of
Irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is usedsby thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is SPLEEN
