such bad shape physically that they
wouldn't take me.
"But Tanlac soon did away with

in weight and strength rapidly and
was soon able to pass the right ex-

exercise and training received while

there? Since being mustered out of

days ago, But knowing so we'll what
Tanlac did for me before I immedi-

certainly depend upon Tanlac for re-

me to say for it."

Acts On The Liver,
Regulates Kidneys,
Purifies the Blood

The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it causes
constipation, biliousness, headaches,
indigestion, gas, sour stomach, bad
breath, dysentery, diarrhoea pains in
back and under ribs on right side.
These symptoms lead to colds, infiu-
enza or other serious troubles, unless
corrected Immediately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys which over
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry into the system the
impurities that the liver and kidneys
have failed to eliminate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only a third of your trouble,
and that is why you have to take pur-
gatives every few nights. Calomel
or other ordinary laxatives do not go
far enough. If you would treat your
kidneys and blood while treating the
liver you would put your entire sys-
tenn in order and frequent purgatives
would then be unnecessary.
DR., w. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important facts
and after much study and research,
compounded what is now known as
DR.. Hitchcock's Liver, Kidney and
Blood Powders, three medicines COM
bined in one. This was the Doctors
favorite prescription for many years,
being used by his patients with mark
ed success. 1t is a harmless vegeta-
BILE remedy that will not make you
sick, and you may eat anything you
like while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under has
personal guarantee that it will give
relief tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep it
in the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins to
feel 'out of sorts" 1t will prove a
household friend and valuable
remedy. adv

cause of declining spot markets and
unsettled financial conditions.
Those who wished to enter the mar
ket at the lowest possible point were
buyers on the davances, believing
possibly, that the deterioration re-
ported during the past week or so
would stimulate mill and export de-
mand.
The futility Of reports estimating
the crop in percentage of a fluctua-
ting 100 per cent was shown again
this week when a condition of 67.5
per cent was issued on Wednesday.
This condition was lower than ex-
pected but its influence was short

cally figured to be 12,783,000 bales
indicated on August 25th). This
amount, with the carry-over is con-
sidered more than sufficient to meet
the needs of the world even should
demand increase later. At present..
however, the tendency is toward re-
duced production of manufactured
goods and retail trade is falling
rapidly behind last year.
Mill and export buyers are not
showing any anxiety to buy, and un-
til the demand is on a far larger
scale than now exists lower prices
appear probable.
1t must not be overlooked, how
ever, that cotton is now selling at
price, generally admitted to be low
er than the cost of production, caus-
ing many who can, to hold at least
a part of their crop, and damage
from storms or frost might be the
signal that would cause heavy buy
ing by consuming interests.
We consider the market unusual
ly dangerous at present, and sug-
gest care in making fresh commit
ments until the market resumes
more normal course.

We are sorry for Mr.. Warren. He
made love to the wrong lady.
Well, the boys are to be disappoint-
ed again. They thought that all this
talk of Georges about states rights
meant the right to get liquor, and to
get it by the legal sale of at least as
good brands as light wines and beer,
which of course meant that the light
wines would constantly get heavier,
and sooner or dater, we would again
have the legalized sale of liquor in
this state. That is what they thought.
But George does not stand for the
legalized sale of even light wines and
beer, he now announces. He would
allow the eighteenth amendment to
stand, but take away the enforce
ment Act, which would mean more
Savannah River "white lightning" but
no real liquor. He says that all his
talk about states rights has been for
no purpose except to allow the ladies
TO make blackberry wine for the dys-
entery. Well, what fuss George has
raised for a little sweet blackberry
wine, and that too when the boys
could see the real stuff ''bottled in
bond" 1t is nothing now boys, under
George's latest declaration of his
Calhoun democracy, except a dead
letter law and more "moonshine" il
legally sold, and blackberry wine at

me he gets through with the public
thereafter it is another summer and
time for another anti-highprice cam
paign. 1t must fill the hearts of GER
tain officials in Washington with joy
to see the cotton quotations and the
wool quotations and realize that they
lave been able to force prices down
.:c!cw cost of production. !
TT ne South has received at least
s;-...e share of her earned profit on
the !sst few cotton crops. Had she
uct been robbed for so years, she
would long ago have had ample capi-
tai. Now she has some. She has
enough, unless the Federal Reserve
Eoard begins a direct attack on the
commodity, to hold the present crop
until the price is fair. The New
-..a.aad director has visualized the
fact. There is enough money in the
South to prevent the usual exploita-
ton.
Not only that bit the American
Cotton Association is fully convers-
ant with the commodity situation,
and in it the producers have ready
source CT information to which they
can turn for instruction. They need
not sell for 80 cents or for any other
number of cents unless the price rep
resents cost of production with profit
added.
1t has been, the statistics seem to
slow, the most expensive cotton crop
ever produced. Every factor of cost
has been higher than before. Some
may, under unusually favorable cir
cumstances, have made big yields,
and so have reduced their unit cost,
but the average cost has certainly
been far up. A low estimate would
be 80 cents the pound. 1t would be
world disaster if cotton sold at
near that figure. 1t would mean
that what labor there has been in the
fields would be even further curtail-
cd. 1t would mean the abandon
ment Of additional acreage, not for
one season, but forever. The Brit
,ish know this, and that is why they
were advised last year to forsake the
policy of driving down prices, to in
=ist that prices be kept at attractive
figures, if for no other than the self
ish reason of increasing production.
But such motives make no appeal to
re s2eculators. They want to cash
in quick, and all they care about is
driving down prices until they have
the actual cotton in their hands.
Then they will be ready enough to
bull the market. I.
If the American Cotton Associa-
ton states what is a fair price for
cotton, every farmer should hold .un-
til he gets that price. 1t is with him
mere than the money from one crop;
it is his fight for independence; his
~, for freedom. When he sells
for less, he does not merely dispose
OF his cotton; he barters away, too,
part of his self-respect. /
This is the critical year. AS the
New Englander said, the South now
mas enough money to compel decent
treatment. The time has passed
when distress cotton can be the ba-
rometer of prices.
