How to act in an emergency is
knowledge of inestimable worth, and
this is particularly true Of the
diseases and ills of the human body
If you suffer with kidney backache
urinary disorders, or any form OF
kidney trouble, the advice contained
in the following statement should
add valuable asset to your store OF
knowledge. What could be more
convincing proof Of the efficiency OF
Doan's Kidney Pills than the state
ment of Charles Town citizen who
used them and who publicly tells OF
the benefit derived?
Mrs. Emma Weller, 112 w.
Liberty St., Charles Town, says: 81
consider Doan's Kidney Pills a fine
remedy for kidney complaint. We
are hardly ever without them in the
house. They have never failed to
help me whenever my kidneys have
troubled me and when my back has
felt weak and lame. At these times
my kidneys did not act right. The
use of Doan's Kidney Pills has always
given quick results. l gladly recon-
mend Doan's to anyone for weak
kidneys"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

week on a charge Of robbing the
Horsey Distillery, Burkittsville, will
go on trial in Frederick, Nd, on a

the Outerbridge Horsey Company,
Burkittsville, offering a reward of
10 per case of whiskey stolen from
it's warehouses Saturday, September
9. Reckoned on the amount of
whiskey stolen, 1900 cases, this re-
ward would total $4,000.

rants, sworn out against John Doe"
have been issued and will be served
on as many persons, believed to be

WILL AID THE POOR.
Depressed Industries Result in
Demands Upon the Red Cross.

Demands Upon the ked Cross.
Anticipating that many families of
the town and county may become
partially or entirely destitute the
coming winter, the Jefferson County
Chapter of the American Red Cross
has already issued an appeal for aid.
Clothing and shoes, either new or
partly worn, as well as cash will be
acceptable. Any articles donated
may be sent to the Community House
for distribution.
All who exercise charity in this
cause may be assured that their gifts
whether of money or clothing, will be
given only to the most deserving
among those who may be in need.
The Red Cross does not practice in
discriminate giving. Every applica-
ton that comes to them for aid is
thoroughly investigated before any
help is extended. Already there are
an unusal number of cases that de-
serve attention. These will become
more numerous as winter approaches.
Children are the chief sufferers in
such crises. Their needs, the Red
Cross will supply first.
The present industrial depression
coming at time of failure in the
fruit crop, depriving hundreds of the
opportunity of earning wages picking
and packing apples makes the relief
problem an specially difficult one.
Another condition that will en-
barrass relief work is the abnormally
high cost of everything needed. In
none of the depressions of the past
was living cost ever as high as it is
now.
Some evidences of Improvement in
the local industrial situation appear.
More regular work is now to be had
at the Keystone quarries near Mill
vile than at any time in the past six
months. An increased working force
has been taken on at the plant of the
Perfection Garment Company in
Ransom since the company's factory
has been enlarged. These improved
conditions however, are more than
offset by lack of employment at
other plants.

SPARKS FROM TAMMANY.

Tammany's Council fires are again
burning, always burning, as they are
fed with enthusiasm and coal from
the Elevator.
Realizing the fact that the Federal
Administration has scrapped the
League of Nations, as party policy
and is endeavoring to replace it with
the Disarmament Conference.
Seeing in the Measure no panacea
for the ills of the World, or balm
of Gilead' for the healing of the
Nations; we have opened hostilities
against it; by forbidding our experts
attending the Conversation as
advisers, and instructing our Chap
lain not to pray for its success.
This fact, with the farther further
fact that the Hearsts papers are
supporting the Measure, and the
Baltimore Sun cropping in utter
darkness over it-ought to be an
assurance to the Country and an
encouragement to the Democratic
party; that it cannot pass the Citadel
of Reason or the Verdun of Truth.
A number of our Warriors are in
training for the constable congress
sional and legislative nominations,
our Wigwam however scarcely needs
a Constable, as most Of ouI
differences are settled by the ballot
rather than the knife.
The prophet of the tribe says the
Congressional Nomination is worth
fighting for; and the way goes
brighter as Republican blunders and
Democratic truths go forward.
Our main interest however lies in
the Composition of the next legisla.
ture, as most of us agree that the
last Session of the Legislature rar
riot mad on neutrality-suspicious.
ly in reference to School, Health
and Prohibition laws.
The Republican Majority enacted
laws not in the interest of the many
rather-many Office holders; acting
but for the benefit Of the few-ol
as if the sole function of legisla
tive body is to create Office anc
spend money.
The word Normally" is not ever
whispered in the secret confines oil
our Wigwam; with US, it is back t.
the CONSTITUTIONS chaos. Back
to the Representative democracy OF
our fathers, or the deluge. Bach
to the Spirit of Thomas Jefferson
the democracy of Woodrow Wilson
the conceptions of Daniel B. Lucas
the model of James M. Mason, or the
utter Affiliations of the Shenandoah
tribe of Tammany.

Autumn was ushered in at 9:2O a.
M, last Friday morning according to
the United States Naval Observa.
tory. James H. Spencer, director OF

The sun crossed the equator on his

FRUIT GROWERS HARD HIT.

West Virginia's fruit crop this
year will not exceed the tenth of an
average yield, according to B. S.
Davis, Of Clarksburg, special agent Of
the State Department of Agricul-
ture, who has made reports to Com
missioner James H. Stewart.
"The full crop will not exceed the
tenth of an average yield in West
Virginia." said Mr.. Davis. ~ have
been in close touch with the fruit
growers and am confident the crop
will be unusually light. There are
practically no peaches, and the
apples are not much better off.
Heavy, late frosts swept the entire
State this season and the fruit grow
ers have been hit hard.

Export Fruit Packing.
~HERE is real cause for complaint over

NHERE is real cause for complaint over the fraiity
OF packages used in shipping American fruits to
other countries, say marketing experts of the Bureau
OF Markets and Crop Estimates United States Department
OF Agriculture True it is always known at packing
time whether the fruit is to be exponed or not and it
would not be practicable always employ special export
packing methods If such methods we're adopted But
at the same time, improved packing methods might we'll
be used in the purely domestic trade for the necessity

Compared with the results secured by other countries
in export trade American shippers have much to learn in
packing fruits for foreign shipment Australian apples
require about two months in transit England but the
fruit generally arrives good shape with little or no
breakage decay The Is true of South African
oranges Even such tender fruits aprcots and peaches
are brought to England from South Africa, not only
sound but free from the little dents marks which
the American shipper has to accept inevitable
Belgian hothouse grapes arrive in England with everberry

apples in export shipment says the bureaus specialists,
and II might be worth while to experiment rather

Anthracite Holds Steady.

MO BREAK was apparent in the production OF
N anthracite during the week ended July 20.
The principal anthracite carriers reported
loadngs of 3s,I34 cars from which the total output,
including coery fuel and coal sold locally. is csti-
mated to have been $4,000 net tons The cumu-
lative output from the beginning of the calendar year
is placed at sI,347yooo tons, million and half
tons ahead of 1920.
In point of production of soft coal the year 1921
is in round numbers 26ooo.ooo tons behind 1870 90
100000 behind 1920, and about o6,oooooo tons
behind the years. Compared with the average
of all four years, it is 72ooooco tons behind Ex-
pressing the decrease another way, the 1921 is
10 per cent behind 1919, about 81 per cent behind
1918, and IS per cent behind the average for 1917
1920. Before. assuming that the fact of subnormal
production this year forecasts possible shortage
later it is necessary reckon with the decrease in
coal consumption which has resulted from the busi-
ness depression. Thus the cumulative output is but
little short of that for 1914 also year of business
depression and is practically equal to that for 1915,
in which year the stimulus of the allied war orders
did not affect demand for coal until after the middle
Of the summer.

The 1920 lumber cut of the United States varied little

on rcports received from o.7 large mills, representing
about one half of the annual cut Of the country compared
