LumbagO
 Q. l am troubled with lumbago and would like to know the cause and, if possible, cure.
 A. In all cases of lunbago it is important to ascertain as exactly as possible the underlying causes of the trouble. Gouty cases form perhaps, the largest proportion of cases, while IS sometimes to blame. Local injury appears to be some times cause. You should not att tempt self-treatment, hut should place yourself under the care of reputable physician at once and have him prescribe for you. Meantime, to relieve the severe pain, it is somtimes of value to iron out" the patients

HOLD COTTON.

It costs approximately ten cents nor pound or $50 per bale to pick, ain and wrap bale of cotton. The following figures represent the price of cott4n on tho New Orleans market, Uasobsr 4th:
 MiddAine g cents.
 Low ordinary IS cents.
 Good ordinary nine cents.
 Ordinary seven cents.
 Low ordinary five and one-fourth cents.
 If these figures represent the mar. ket value at port then it follows that the value in the interior is approxi- uaateiy one cent per pound less. The farmer, then, selling on such quota- tions would receive for middling s6o s bale over the cost of picking, gin- ming and baiing; s25 over the cost of production per bale on Low Mid ding, but $fo per bale less than the cost of production for Good 0rdi- nary, loss of SEQ on Ordinary, and $32.75 on Low Ordinary.
 Speaking of the figures, w. B. Thompson. Southern authority says' Of course these figures are absurd. Although it is true that certain fears cr&zed producers in some sections have stampeded into selling good eFtde cotton on this fuinons basis, still there have been no sales of the lower grades upon which bona fido market quotations could be based. 1la sli@eed quotations do not reflect f, resl value of cotton, but they do
