LAME EVERY MORNING.
A Bad Back Is Generally Worse in the
Morning. lexington People
are Finding Relief.

A back that aches all day and caus-
es discomfort at night is usually
worse in the morning. Makes you
feel as if you hadn't slept at all.
You can't get rid of kidney back
ache, until you reach the cause.-the
kidneys. Doan's Kidney pills are es-
pecially prepared for weakened or
disordered kidneys-have been great
ly recommended by thousands.
Testimony of Lexington people
proves the merit of dams.
Mrs. Joe Moody, 404 Pine Street,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills did me
more good than any kidney remedy |
have ever used. | have always done a
lot of hard work in my time and have
been in pretty good health but sud
denly my kidneys began to give me
trouble. They were weak and
seemed to have no control over them.
My back would ache and could
hardly get out Of beds mornings;
was so lame. There were swellings
under my eyes, too. Reading in
Doan's Directory of Doan's Kidney
Pills, | got a supply at the Stewart
Drug Store, and before long | was en-
tirely cured"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for Kidney remedy-get

There are some fundamentals that
we would like to have all farmers
keep in mind about saving such hay
crops as peas and beans especially.
The greatest part of the moisture
passes out through the leaves Of the
the plant. Hence hay should be raked
as soon as the leaves are wilted. II
they become dry and withered, too
many leaves are lost and the stems
cannot dry out. As soon as it is raked
and allowed to cure a little in the
windrows, place il on hollow stacks.
The reason we use the hollow stacks
is that it will expose the greatest
amount Of the leaves to the air and
also prevent heating. Heat and mois-
ture promote rot and mold. ]. L.Smith
at Reagan, last year put up hay on
these hollow stacks He could not
haul il out on account Of the rains
and it stood and kept wen until the
Spring.

The lemon growers Of California
have been promised tariff protection
against the foreign product. The poor
fellows are now making but $500 to
$500 per acre on their lemons and
something ought to be done.

The men who have advocated wo-
man suffrage are the greatest self
confessed failures the world has ever
known-and they are right about it.
IL the epidemies and accidents had
confined their victims to that class Of
bipeds, the world would have been
better off.

Now is the time to plan to save the
next sweet potato crop. II you can
not build house for that purpose
use the next best method. Find boxes
that will hold about one bushel or two
bushels. Cut holes in them so as to
allow great deal of ventilation. Buy
the regular sweet potato hampers like
J. S. Meadows did last year. They
win last several years. Put the pota-
toes in your containers when you dig

When the fruit growers of Califor-
MIA get control of one third of the
crop, they control the prices. Why
can't the cotton farmers of the South
do the same thing?

FINER FARMING.
"a. A. Powers.l

Did you get a good stand of late
Irish potatoes? We hear many fav-
orable reports. The crop bids fair to
be high in price.

No farmer can afford to neglect
sowing some winter pasture. Get busy
and have an early one that will be
worth while. 1t will provide cheap
feed and make your soil rihcer.

Jno. L. Sullivan says that his hay
crop is so short that he is cutting
some small corn and shocking so as
to help out. He doesn't like the idea
of buying hay. Now is the time to
think about that problem.

We are especially anxious to have
