WHY OLD G. ACHE
Many Madison Old People Have
Found Backache to Be a Sign
of Kidney Weakness.

What a pity that so many people
past middle age are worried with
lame backs, aching kidneys, poor eye
sight, sick headaches, dizziness, gray
ell, dropsy or distressing urinary ills.
Kidney weakness brings these dis
comforts in age or youth, and is a
dangerous thing to neglect for it
leads to Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning. Doan's Kidney Pills have
brought new strength to many Madi-
son old people. You will make no
mistake by following the example of
Mrs. l.. T. Grow, Third street and
Washington eel She says: My
back bothered me very much. l had
pains across my kidneys and was
bothered with dizzy spells. l used
n box of Doan's Kidney Pills and
they helped me wonderfully in every
way" Statement given September
6, 1910.
On October 6, 1917, Mrs. Grow
said; Il have the same faith in
Doan's Kidney Pills | have always
had. l keep my kidneys in good or
der by using a few of Doan's now
and then"
Price, 60 cents, at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney rem

where he conducts the ships business
and receives visitors. These quarters
are steam heated against winters cold
and have screens and fans If the ship
is running into southern waters. They
are finished In hard wood.
1t will be seen that the captain of
today therefore is very comfortably
housed. AS to his meals, he may exer-
else the privilege of having them
served in his quarters, or he may mess
with the other officers.
The first mate shares the main deck
house with the captain. having a room
directly under the bridge. This is often
IL feet square, with white iron or
brass bed, built-in couch with drawers
under 1t, aad ample clothes lockers
and shelf space. The mate usually
also has a private bath.
The second and third mates and each
of the engineers have a good-sized
stateroom, with a common bathroom
for each rating.
In the main deckhouse Is the dining
saloon or messroom. Here the officers,
from eight to ten I'm number, have
their meals. On the new ships this is
n bright and cheerful room, finished
In oak or some other hard wood var
nished, having a sideboard and leather
upholstered chairs and lockers.

Little Guessing on Length of Voyage.
Nor is the modern officer better off
than his progenitor In the matter of
living alone. He works under better
conditions. Steam has reduced the
length of voyages SO that he is no
longer months at sea without a port
to break the monotony.
There Is no longer the element of
chance, due to the caprice of wind
and wave to make the duration of his
voyage uncertain. Modern steamers
run almost on railroad schedules, and
the mariner of today can tell within q
day Or two when he leaves Liverpool
as to the hour of his release on leave
for a trip to ''see the folks" at New
York or Boston or Philadelphia.
Furthermore, there is none of the
hard, manwearing work of driving a
ship by the winds alone, and handling
rigging and sails, that existed on the
romantic but unstable sailing ship.
Nowadays SO many revolutions of the
screw produce so many miles made
good on the course, while navigation
under these conditions becomes a mat
ter of scientific precision.

PRESERVE THINGS OF BEAUTY
Citizen Loyal to His Home Town Will Constitute Himself Guardian of
 Other Peoples Property.

People are often wantonly deStruc' tive with what costs them nothing It's vicious habit that tears out a plant by the roots when all that's de sired is the flower. That's bad enough in the woods where Gods bounty pro duces in riotous profuSion. But even there rare specimens are found and The same barbarity practiced near a mans home is contemptible. For a passing whim you destroy for your self and him the thing that gives you pleasure. You are in meaner class than the fellow who killed the goose that laid the golden egg. He was a fool for destroying what was his own. You are all he was and more besides, for you take in addition what does not belong to you.
 The loyal citizen becomes a guardian of other peoples property. The more he can encourage his neighbor the more attractive will his property be- come and the more beautiful the en- yironment in which he will live. And you will help enjoy 1t. Without cost to you there will be created con- munity beauty that will uplift humani- ty. His lawn and flowers should be- come dear to you and you should help him defend them. This is no whim of an enthusiast. It's law that's old as the decalogue. If you aren't sure about it take the old book off by your self and look it up. You may show your ignorance if you do it in com pany. And if such a thing was a recognized law in those distant bar barous days. it surely is more so now.

THE WHITE WAY.

The Independent would suggest that the Chamber of Commerce take steps to immediately secure again the illumination of Front street by placing in use the city's white way. When questioned by the Inde- pendent as to why the white way has not been placed in operation since the fuel administration removed all sslightless nights" restrictions, MT. Moss, local manager of the Arkansas flight & Power Company, said that there would have to be some under standing as to the remuneration which the company is to receive for the white way before it is again turn ed on. He said that some persons had failed to pay their share of the ex- pense attached to the enterprise.
 The Independent hopes this matter can be adjusted, and also that sever al posts which have been destroyed will be replaced. Newport's white way since it's establishment has been one of the city's greatest assets and a subject of comment from visitors, and if we once maintained it, we can do it again. The Arkansas Light < Power Company should be willing to do its share, and the people, we are sure, will contribute as much to the white way now and in the future as they ever did before.

COTTON SEED
Why Arkansas Farmers Must Have Better Cottonseed If They Are to Maintain Good Price Next
 Year.

Cotton of any length of staple found a good market during the war and sold at an exceptionally good price, because much of 1t was used for munitions, but undoubtedly if the price of cotton is to be maintained to desirable degree, seed must be se- cured now for good staple varieties.
 The best way to keep up the price will be to increase the quality. The shortage of wool means that cotton will continue to be used, but spinners must have cotton of good staple which standard varieties produce. extremely short varieties which have sold at good prices for munitions will undoubtedly bring disappointment to
 nose who do not secure better seed for next year, according to the opin- ion of the Specialist with the Exten- sion Division of the University of Ar kansas, who advises growers every where to write to the Agricultural Experiment Station at Fayetteville for the Bulletin on Cotton Varieties to Plant in Arkansas.

Keen After the Needs.

Weeds result not only in big financial loss but also in great annoyance. Dis eases, such as hay fever. could be eliminated almost entirely by adopting efficient methods for controlling the incidental weeds found along roadsides, in vacant fields, and in waste places.
