WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of Maysyille People.

AS one weak link weakness a chain
SO may weak kidneys weaken the
wholebody and hasten the final break
ing-down.
Overwork strains, colds and other
orally when their activity is lessened
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and fanguUr and
urinary ills frequently come, and
there is an ever-increasing gravel or
fatal Bright's disease. When the kid
neys fail there is no real help for the
sufferer except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys. Maysville testimony is
proof of their effectiveness.
Mrs. Harry Mann, 495 w. Second
ST., says: about two years ago,
suffered from an attack of kidney
trouble that had lasted for a long
time. had dull, constant ache in
the small of my back and the pains
were often sharp. / was also dizzy
and felt tired and langrid. Two boxes
Of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
/ haven't been bothered by kidney
trouble since. l gladly advise anyone
to get box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Chenoweth Drug Co., II trou-
bled by their kidneys"
Mrs. Mann Is only one OF many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aehes-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for n kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DoAN'S
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs.
Mann had--the remedy backed by
home testimony 60 cents at all
stores. Foster-Milburn Co. Props,

AMERICAN GOODS
REPLACE GERMAN
Chile Is Now Using American Made
Electrical Goods Instead of
German Made.

OF all the countries on the west
coast of South America, Chile offers
the best opportunity for the immedl-
ate sale of electrical goods, and the
prospects for the future are bright.
Germany dominated the market be-
fore the war, but according to a re-
port issued today by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, De-
partment of Commerce, merican goods
have recently made big gains. Ger
man goods had entered the market in
the wake of German capital.
Chile is a country where the ma
tural resources and the will of the
people make for progressive develop
ment along industrial and manufac-
turing lines, which means a steadily
growing demand for power. Special
Agent Philip S. Smith, author of the
Governments report, asserts that this
should and will be furnished by har-
Messing the many waterfalls of the
Cordillera of the Andes to electric
generators and sending the current
to all parts of the central section of
the Republic.
One of the things that should not
be overlooked in contemplating Chile
as a future commercial field is the
opportunity of uniting a safe invest
ment with profitable business If
advantage is taken of this situation
the relations already existing between
the two countries can be strengthened
to their mutual profit.
The report analyses every phase of
the electrical-goods business in both
Chile and Bolivia and is designed to
assist American firms in their efforts
to build up and maintain business
with the two countries Under the
title electrical Goods in Bolivia and
Chile" Special Agents Series No. 1877,
it is sold at the onminal price of 90
cents by the Superintendent of Docu-
ments, Washington, D. c., and by all
the district and cooperative offices of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce.

SOUTHERN FARMERS
ARE MAKING GOOD
SHOWING in CROPS
Despite the Great Labor Shortage in
the South the Southern Farmers
Are Going Over the Top.

From labor agents of the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture for the
Southern states met in conference at
Birmingham, Ala, on July 10 and 10
for the purpose of perfecting plans
for making up the farm labor short
age during the coming year. The spir-
it of the meeting was that OF service
not only for the other fellow but for
the labor agents themselves. More
than one of the government agents
have led groups of volunteer workers
in the wheat harvest and thrashing.
With such spirit evident in the lead
ers the farmers have been quick to re-
spond to the appeal for greater eXer-
ton in crop production.
In spite of the labor shortage crops
are clean and in excellent condition"
This has been due in large measure to
the fact that farmers realizing that
they had to get along with reduced
labor forces, have worked harder and
managed more effectively than they
have ever done before. Southern
farmers are proving their patriotism
in very practical fashion. Many who
in past years have done no actual
farm labor are taking the lead in the
fields this season. THE negro popula-
ton is imbibing the spirit of patriotic
service. Formerly, in most southern
communities colored laborers have
done no work on Saturday. This Gus
tim is rapidly disappearing and thou
sands of negroes are wearing the red,
white and blue button of the Saturday
Service League, pledging themselves
to work the full six days of the week.
Men of the towns and cities have
gone out by the hundreds to help in
the harvest fields. Farmers for whom
these men have worked have reported
excellent satisfaction. The plan hav-
ing proved successful this season,
will be extended next year so that
IL necessary, it will furnish the chief
source of labor for harvesting crops,
The women of the South are also en-
listing for farm service At Ringo. La,
one group of ten women from the Red
Cross organization chopped II acres
of cotton one day. Thousands of
town and city boys are replacing men
on farms. Stringent vagrancy laws
are rapidly putting an end to the ca
reer of the loafer. Farmers every
where are making greater use of two,
three and four horse teams and af la
Dor saving machinery. Cooperative
clubs have been organized among
neighboring farmers for thrashing,
silo filling, and similar work Farmers
are planning their work ahead, put
ting their machinery in perfect re-
pair in ample time before it is needed
and in many other ways are increas-
ing the efficiency of their man power.
