Cure for bysente1y.

"While / was in Ashland. Kan
sas, a gentleman overheard me
speaking of Chamberlain's Colo
and Diarrhoea Remedy" writes
William Whitelaw, of Des MONIES
Iowa. "He told me in detail OF
what it had done for his family
but more especially his daughter
who was lying at the point o.
death with q violent attack Of
dysentery, and had been given up
by the family physician. Some OF
his neighbors advised him to give
Chamberlain's Collie and Dlar.
rhoea Remedy. which he did. and
fully believes that by doing Sc
saved the life Of his child. he
stated that he had also used this
remedy himself with equally
gratifying results.

PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.

In a recent number of the Com
mercial New York World ap-
peared the following:
"The transformation within
twelve-month of certain sections
of the South in agricultural and
business conditions seems almost
unbelievable. These were por-
tons of the central South at this
time last year that were in the
slough of despond. Crops of all
kinds, owing to the boil weevll
and excessive rains, were almost
complete failures. Negroes, the
staple agricultural laborers, were
leaving in thousands for the
North and the East, and the flu
ture seemed to offer nothing but
that grim endurance which the
Southern peope have so often eX-
perienced and prac ticed.
To-day the reports throughout
these same regions are optimistic
beyond expression, and indicate
that the boast of the South that
cit is the land of opportunity" is
in reality a sober truth. If some
crops, such as rice and sugar
cane, were not as large as in some
wears past. these products now
bring great prices which more
than make up the difference to
the producers. 1t is true that the
same September freeze that hurt
corn so badly this year likewise
blighted a large area of cotton IN
Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas
and Alabama. But, again, the
appreciation in price Of this great
staple brought its compensation
to the farmers and planters. An
interesting side light on cotton is
that it is being successfully raised,
though in moderate way, as far
south in Florida as the bay Of
Tampa.
In it's experience Of diversified
ton the South is learning the
value of seemingly unimportant
things, so that the. production OF
peanuts from Virginia along the
Atlantic coast into southern
Georgia and across into Oklahoma
and Texas is becoming a matter
of great import, the product rum
ming into many millions Of dol
lars"

mate reason for the present price ;
for the present downright rob-
berry Of the people Of this land by
the men who control the markets
thereof, the supply of food.
If the supply Of pork be less
for the present than the demand
for meat there are other channels
Of supply; other channels from
which meat superior to pork may
be gathered, not only to the feed
ing Of this people, but to the re-
covery Of the Glepleted stocks Of
pork, and the. possibility Of an
eventual reduction Of the price Of
pork to somewhere within the
bounds Of reason.
But, and again but, the men
who enrich themselves manipu-
lating the prices Of the necessi-
ties Of life, who enrich themselves
by determining just how close to
actual starvation the men; women
and children Of this land may ex-
lit, and yet continue to labor to
the enrichment Of these hogs Of
two feet, they rig not only the
supply Of pork. but Of every SUD-
stitute therefor.
I'm support of this statement we
submit the following, gathered
from the same publication which
carried that dealing with the
price Of hogs:
1.-THE Produce Exchange an

I the stocks Of poultry in cold
storage warehouses in Los Ang.

but is almost three times as much
as was on hand on July l of last
year."
From the above exhibits it will
be clearly observed that from
day to day the coil tightens; that
the supply of hogs on four feet,
together with every substitute
therefor, and as well, the lives OF
this people are in control Of the
hogs Of two feet; and that ap-
parently there is to come no re-
lief until the cutting Of threats
be changed from one to the other.

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its
functions. You become consti-
pated. The food you eat ferments
in your stomach instead Of d.
gestinfi. This infames the stom-
ach and causes nausea, vomiting
and terrible headache. Take
three Of Chamberlain Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will
soon be as well as ever. They
only cost q quarter.

largely to the advance made in Sc
lection of seed corn.
Fifty Years Ago.
Fifty years ago only little corn
was grown in Minnesota. The most
of that was of flint varieties. Corn
was considered a very precarious
crop. Seed could not be obtained
here, but was brought in from Illi-
nois, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio and other
states from which the farmers had
immigrated.
"Flint corns and a few early dents
were brought from the New Eng
land states and gradually became
adapted to the soil and climate. Con-
tinued selection of the earliest kinds
of dent has developed several varie-
ties that are pretty sure to ripen
even in a short season. In this way
the corn belt has been extended
from the southeastern corner of the
state to the northwestern corner.
Enterprising corn breeders are con-
stantly aiming to develop hardy and
quick-growing varieties that yield
we'll, and an improvement in quality
and in yielding ability is clearly EVIL
dent.
Developments to which seed corn
selection has contributed in large de-
gree may be summed up as follows:
more corn is now grown in the
farthest northwest county OF the
state, Kittson, than was grown fifty
years ago in the southeasternmost
county of the state, Houston.
mot only has the corn belt moved
northward clear across the state, but
corn with deeper kernels, more rows
and better yielding habits have been
developed.
''There has been a steady increase
in live stock raising which has made
farming more profitable.
"The fertility of worn out soils
has been restored and employment
given to the farmers labor. 49,.

THE COAL SITUATION

President Edward Hamlin of the Metropolitan Coal Company, the larg- est retail organization selling coal ir New England, and the third largest in America, in a terse, spirited fash. ion, outlines the possible if not prob. able seriousness of a coal shortage next fall and winter.
 Mr. Hamlin says: "In the anthra- cite regions of Pennsylvania the col. lieries are working at most only three days 8 week and a number are entire. ly shut down. The public can little understand what this means until they realize that the mines must be constantly pumped out to prevent flooding, and it is an astounding fact but one that is yet true, that for ev- cry ton of coal taken out of a mine, Is tons of water are pumped out at a great cost.
 'The mine owner is in the unenvi- able position of having to decide whether he will spend from 10 to 20 thousand dollars a month to keep his property pumped out or whether he shall allow it to flood and take six months to pump it out when the time comes again to operate. The produc- ton of coal from the mines. of course. can be speeded up later, but that does not supply barges and coal-car- rying cars to bring stocks eastward.
 When the hurry-up call comes to aid in the quick transportation of coal, that will cause a congestion to a certainty on all-rail shipments and even the transportation of coal to Hde water, where it may be placed on barges, even if they are available, is apt to be greatly curtailed during this car shortage.
 "A ton of coal today to produce costs 42 per cent more than it did in 1913, and this does not take into ac- count the tremendously increased transportation charges, or the labor cost increase in retail handling The government, realizing the situation, is asking the people to place their or ders for coal at once"
 Hazelton, Pa.-The G. B. Markle Ccal Company, one of the largest in dividual anthracite producing firms, announced that there will be no re- duction in the price of fuel April 1, as has been customary in previous years, but that present rates will con tinue until May 1. Then l5 cents per ton will be added on domestic sig es every month for five months
