MAY ASK THAT ALL
STORES CLOSE AT NIGHT
GrOcers' Association Anxious to Have
All Grocery Stores Closed ut
Night May Appeal to County
Food Administrator For
Ruling.

Some time ago the Mason County
Retail Grocers' Association. agreed
that they would close their grocery
stores every evening at six O'Clock but
after time this ruling was modified
and now q number of the stores are
keeping open of nights.
Anxious to have all grocery stores
close early in the evening so that
those who desire to close up but who
are unable 10 do so because their
nearest competitor remains open and
learning that the County Food Admin
istrator has the power to close all
stores at six o'clock in the evening if
he thinks it to the best interest of all
dealers, the Grocers' Association will
likely appeal to Mr.. w, d. Cochran
for the issuance of such an order.
This order would make it much
easier on the grocers as a whole and
would do away with any unfair COM
petition which the Food Administra-
ton is now attempting to eliminate.

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Maysyille Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. l comes
from the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are weak.
Well kidneys eXcrete a clear, amber
fluid. Weak kidneys send out thin,
pale and foamy,' or thick, red, Ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular Of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, suggest
weak kidneys and warn you of the
danger of dropsy, gravel and Bright's
disease. In that case Doans Kidney
Pills have been endorsed by thous-
ands. Here is a statement OF nearby
resident:
Jas. NJ. Newton, Gum, St, Aberdeen,
Ohio, says: IL have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills off and on for several years
and have been greatly benefited.
Whenever my back has been weak or
when my kidneys have been too fire.
quent in action. have used a bon or
so of Doan's Kidney Pills, which i
get at Wood & Sons Drug Store. They
have always relieved me in a short
time"
The above is not an isolated case
Mr. Newton is only one of many In
this vicinity who. hav gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's. Ifyour back aches-if
your kidneys bother you, don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-ask distinct
ly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same
that Mr., Newton had. Coo all stores.

shington-Resources of national
banks, between May 10 and June 90,
decreased $410,O0O,OOO, to $685.

banks disposed of great quantities of
liberty zonds held at the earlier date
This situation, shown by an ana
lysis of the bank reports of June 30,
issued by Comptroller of the Currency
Williams, was regarded as an indica-
ton of the healthy financial condition
of the country, which still is able to
absorb Government securities, parti-
cularly in view of the approaching
fourth loan campaign.
Resources on June 30 were $685.
100000 greater than on June 20, 1917,

troller called attention to the fact that
aggregate resources of the national

PREDICTS CHRIST WILL COME IN
GENERATION

Detroit, Mich.-"The present gener-
alton will witness the glorious APP
pearing OF Christ at his second COM
ing and the setting up of his ever
lasting kingdom, when wars and trou-
bles of all sorts will be brought to an
end" This was the subject of Evan
Eelistic A. V. Cotton's lecture at the
big tent on Grindley field, near For
est, where he is holding a series of
midsummer meetings.
A large assemblage listened to his
lecture on the driving of Turkey from
Europe, which he said was a matter of
Biblical prophecy. The possession of
ConstantinOple by Germany and a free
passage to the Persian gulf by way of
the Bagdai railway he declared to be
the basic cause for Germany initiating
the present war; but, Notwithstanding
the degree of success she might attain,
Germany will never possess Constan-
tinople, either by conquest or by
treaty, the evangelist asserted. When
Turkey leaves Europe it will precipi-
tate an international scramble for
Constantinople which will constitute
one of the closing events in earth's
drama and the signal for the coming
of Christ.
Mr.. Cotton declared it to be "incon-
sistent with Christian principles for
Christian men and women to encour-
age the use of rum by soldiers in the
trenches"

NEW RULE FOR EGG DEALERS

The practice of rendering accounts
TO shippers on the "net-return basis"
when the goods were bought by the
consienee, which has been indulged-in
by many dealers in poultry, butter,
and eggs. has resulted in the issuance
of an Interpretation of special rule 2,
by the Food Administration, which
puts an end to that deceptive practice.
The Interpretation is as follows:
A dealers in handling poultry, but
ter, or eggs on a "net-return basis"
must render an account of sales
which must include the actual selling
price and the sum deducted for COM
pensation by the dealer. If the dealer
buys for his own accounts, he must
state that fact on his account sales.
Rendering an account sales which in
cludes only the met return" is vio-
lation of special rule 2.
The use of the expression METRE
turn basis" by dealer to describe
transactions in which he does not act
as the shippers agent, but takes to
his own account goods which are
shipped to him, is deceptive, In such
cases the consignor and the consignee
must have a clear agreement prior to
the transaction, that the goods are to
be purchased by the consignee, and
the use of the term "net-return basis"
in connection Herewith will be con-
sidered an unfair practice.

prepared by the United States Depart

The greatest drawbacks to the hog
industry that breeders in this country
have to contend with are the losses
through hog cholera, tuberculosis, and
the infestation of the animals, especial
ly young pigs, by parasites. Were 1t
not for the fecundity Of swine their
profitable production in the presence
of these serious diseases would be out
of the question. In the following re-
marks on sanitation no attempt is
made to go into the detnils of the dis
eases affecting hogs or their treatment.
The object Is merely to call attention
to the simple measures which may be
used by any farmer to avoid. to large
extent, the decimation of his herd by
eplzOotics. Cleanliness and rational
methods of management are relied up
on by thousands of farmers to keep
their herds in health and vigOr. They
are the marks of the good farmer and
successful hog breeder.
Hog cholera and swine plague, both
highly fatal diseases characterized by
fever and heavy mortality, are SO very
similar that the breeder may regard
them as Identical SO far as his practi-
cal management of the herd is con-
cerned. Positive differentiation be-
