Mrs. E. V. Auton, 1902 Varsells
St., says: Sitting in one position so
long at time sewing, strained my
back and brought on kidney trouble.
I had dull, steady ache in my back
and it made me feel tired out and
languid. I often had dizzy spells
when everything would get black be-
fore my eyes and I was always lame
and sore in the morning on arising.
When / bent over, l could hardly
straighten up and the pain would go
through me like a knife. Nervous
headaches added to my misery and
my ankles swelled at times so l
could hardly get my shoes on. My
kidneys were weak and out OF order,
too. A friend recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills to me and l got a sup
ply. l felt relief from the first and
continued using them until I was en-
tirely cured"

COULD MANAGE HUN
BETTER IN WORLD LEAGUE
Allies Likely to Admit Germany if
She Signs Peace Treaty and
Gives Guarantees.
(By the Associated Press.)

Germany, if she signs the peace
treaty and gives satisfactory guaran-
tees that she will establish stable
government and loyalty carry out
the provisions of the treaty, doubt
less will be permitted to become a
member of the league of nations.
The council of four at present has
this momentous subject under con-
sideration and from unofficial re-
ports thus far received there SEEM
ingly is no strong objection to Ger
many becoming associated with the
other nations in the league, if by
contriteness she proves her WORTH
ness to membership.
By permitting membership to Ger
anany the feeling prevails in peace
conference circles that there will be
no likelihood of a coalition between
that country and Russia, which in
the future might be the source of
trouble and that with Germany in
side the league she could be kept
more tractable than outside it.
On the Last Draught.
I The council of four also is busily
engaged in going over the reports OF
the commissions which have been ex-
famining into the counter proposals
Germany offered to the peace treaty.
5 While all the commissions have not
vet reported to the council, it is felt
in Paris that late in the present
week the entire situation viii have
been so whipped into shape that it
will be possible to hand the Germans
at Versailles the final word of the
Allied and associated powers con-
stitutional and irreducible minimum
of concessions.
It said that five days after the
presentation of the reply of the AL
lies the Germans must give notice as
to whether they propose to sign the
treaty.
Clemeneeau Threatens.
Considerable fighting continues
= between the factions in Russia, ap-
parently with varying results. Hos
tilities also are in progress between
the Hungarians and Czecho-Slovaks
but these are likely soon to end un-
der a thpeat by Premier Clemenceau
to use Allied troops against the Hun
garians if they do not cease their
activities.
A court has been formed in Ger
many to bring to the bar of justice
persons accused Of having fomented
the war,slengthened its period and
of being the cause Of Germany's de-
feat. 49,.
Unofficial advices from Russia are
to the effect that Jewish pogroms
have occurred in SO different places

Jews are said to have been slaught'

street, and how in the summer the
storekeepers used to sit close to the
curb and read the papers. There were
still number of prominent people
who were driving around town behind
teams of the finest horses. South of
the avenue looked like lot of shan
ties as compared to what it does now.
1t seems to me that there was more
genuine and easygoing loaflng in the
hotel Hobbies. Chamberlins was in its
heyday.
There were bars at the Capitol, and
lots of men sported the old long-tail-
ed swallow-tails, pleated-bosom shirts
with spacious bow ties and big SOM
brero hats. Washington was an old
fashioned southern city. Now, per-
haps because of pride at being the
greatest capital in the world, it has
put up so many white marble struc-
lures as to make the number the most
impressive thing to the visitor. The
city is buster and more up to date.
Twenty years ago it rather enjoyed a
half doze. They were still talking
about the war between the states, with
a lot of feeling. 1t seems now as
though the war were 100 years ago
And that is the way 1t seems to the
whole South. The nation does bigger
things now, and this is reflected here
in Washington, which is to me the
noblest and most interesting city on
tho no nth

Silage Is Tested

On May 18th the annual Station-fed
cattle sale was held at the Experiment
Station farm at Lexington. Twenty
head of silage-fed steers sold at $1625
per hundred. Ten head of these ami
mails had been fed wheat straw and
corn silage The other lot got straw
and sorghum silage. Both lots were
fed exactly the same amount of cot
ton seed meal and grain. This year
completed the second year test on the
relative value of corn silage and sor-
ghum silage. The large crowd of feed
ers and farmers present expressed
surprise at the finish of the cattle fed
sorghum when compared with those
fed corn silage.

Observe Rooster Week

The week of June Ind has been Of
ficially set apart as Rooster Week. y
During that week the farmer and
poultry man are urged to pen or to kill
all ROSTERS. 1t is estimated that If ev-
cry rooster in the State were kept
away from the flocks over million
dollars would be saved which are an
nually lost in rotten eggs.
Investigations have proved that in
fertile eggs keep we'll even in warm
weather. Fertile eggs begin to incu-
bate quite rapidly in warm weather
and then spoil. AS seventeen per cent
of the eggs marketed in warm weather
spoil, the loss runs into big money
quite rapidly.

practically every department the pay en-
