Cause of Appendicitis.

When the bowels are consti-
pated. the lower bowels or large
intestines become packed with
refuse matter, that is made up
largely of germs. These germs
enter the yermiform appendix
and set up inflammation, which is
commonly known as appended
It's. Take Chamberlain's Tab
lets when needed and keep your
bowels regular and you have lit
tie to fear from appendicitis.

there was shortage of $4,000 cars or

day of 1920 the shortage was 1882

that by November 23 the existing con-

Standard Oils the Feature

Both on the Stoci. Exchange and the
Curb yesterday sensational advances in
the Standard Oil Issues were easily the
feature Of the days trading. On the
t'big board" it was Standard Oil of
California, rather than Standard of
New Jersey, that attracted the largest
speculative following. This issue, after
dropping in the carly part of the ses-
sion to 1i6k, became strong in the last
haur, and just before the close touched
120M, within fraction of the record
price of 12l sirce the stock was listed.
On the Curb Exchange Standard Oil of
New York reached new high of SAT
and showed net rise for the day OF 48
points. IN vicw OF the strength dis
played by these and other Standard Oil
stocks. it was only natural that rumors
were again circulated OF impending
stock distributions. In enc quarter 1t
was pointed out that such action is now
deemed practicable in view of the fea-
ture Of the new income tax law that
places levy of only - 4 per cent on
securities held for two years or more
The Standard Oil Company of New
York has made no stock distribution
since the 400 per cent stock dividend
payed in 1918, bringing the capital up
to $75,000000. According to current
rumor the company may declare so

st. Joseph Lead pisanpoints

Overnight the directors Of the st. Jo-
seph Lead Company had declared the
regular dividend Of 25 cents share
and an extra dividend of the same
amount, yet the stock started TO decline
as soon as the market opened yester-
day, and did not stop going down until
loss of 1ss had been sustained, at
1914. 1t was another case of the good
news being out and liquidation on the
part of those who had bought in the
early teens with the knowledge that
the extra distribution was coming.
Still there was something more than
this to the selling. Many Of those who
trailed along in the wake of the in
siders early last week had been led to
believe that the regular rate would be
raised to 80 cents quarterly. Instead,
the directors simply declared an extra
dividend. Traders who were late in
putting in their selling orders were
consoled by supposedly inside informa-
tion to the effect that this extra dis
tribution is to be a standing order.

GEORGIA $ Vital Stake IN Go.
lucrative Cotton Selling

HE future of cooperative cotton mar
keting in Georgia, with all that it in
wolves for the prosperity of agricul-
ture and business, depends upon the response
of farmers during the next ten days. With
in that period the remainder Of the two hun
dred thousand bales requisitu to the success
full functioning Of the Georgia Cotton Grow
srs' Cooperative Association must be pledged
IL the agreements already signed are to con-
tinue effective. Upwards Of one hundred and
+ .ty-one thousand bales are definitely as
sured, nor is it doubted that the goal will be
attained if not, indeed, we'll surpassed. But
o minimum of two hundred thousand bales
must be under contract by April the first, or
the growers now pledged will be released
from further obligation. Manager J. E. Con-
we'll states the matter tersley and Alright
when he declares: eve feel entirely conf
dent that we shall succeed. The movement is
gathering impetus daily. 1t is imperative,
however, that our field men put forth their
best efforts during the closing days"
That the cooperative plan of marketing
cotton is sound in principle and profitable in
practice is manifest from the results it has
yielded under thorough and rigorous tests
Investigation has made plain, the system has
worked to the advantage of growers and con-
sumers alike, has won the confidence of
financial, as well as agricultural leaders, has
vouchsafed its farmer members a consider
ably higher averag price than was received
by outsiders, and has convinced the ablest
business authorities that if given due oppor-
tunity it will add millions to the South's
wealth and unbreakable sinews to her indie
pendence. These are not the conclusions,
be it minded, Of excessively ardent promo
tiers, but of cool, critical observers-conclu-
sons that will bear testing by the most eau
tious, and that will be most strikingly con-
firmed where examination into the attain
ments and possibilities of cooperative cot
ton marketing is most thorough.
Surely, then, good citizens of Georgia,
having interests in cotton, owe it to them
selves and to the commonwealth to learn
the truth of this matter if they are not al
ready informed, and thereupon to act. The
greater their production of cotton, the
greater their opportunity and obligation in
furthering movement that leads to money
saving and moneymaking methods of mar
keting instead of the wasteful and alto
gether ill-advsed system that now prevails
What cooperative selling has done for the
fruit industries of California, what it has
done Tor the more progressive cotton farm
ers OF Oklahoma, Texas and other regions
OF the Southwest it will do for the growers
OF Georgia's chief staple if they will but
avail themselves of its demonstrated uses
and its sound economic principles. Let all
who have faith in such principles and who
wish to advance their own and the States
welfare, muster now to the support of the
Cotton Growers Cooperative Association.

Dorothy Dix Taks-Are Women Hard on Other Women?

her with other women if she takes the cas-
lest way, and so she observes the moralities
and the conventions that constitute the wom-
an law, and which other women demand that
she must practice or else put herself beyond
the pale.
Women do police each other. They do
sit as judges on each other. They do de-
mand a certain standard in each other. And
it will be sad day for society when they
take to viewing the woman who leads an
irregular life with lenient eye.
Women's condemnation of the immoral
woman is also instructive self-preservation.
Because the mother and the child have to
be protected marriage was instituted, and
it is women who have to safeguard marriage
and keep the home intact. Therefore, it is
necessary that women punish the women
who flount marriage, and who are nome
wreckers.
For their own sakes they must also hold
aloft the ideals of purity and virtue, and
this they can do only by drawing the line
sharply and definitely between the woman
who keeps her garments spotless, and the
ones who bespatter them with the filth of
the gutter.
No sinner is willing to pay the price of
his sin. No wrongdoer wants justice, but
all history goes to show that as we sow we
must reap, and that only by enforcing JUS
tice can we make the weak observe the law
that makes for the common good. This is
the inexorable fiat that none of us can
change, and it applies to women and men
alike.
The idea obtains that men are more merci-
full in their attitude towards the Magdalene
than women are. This is a mistake. There
is nothing so ruthless, as the cruelty with
which man will cast aside the woman of
whom he is tired, the plaything he has
broken. 1t is the prodigal son whom father
welcomes back, not the prodigal daughter.
Millions of women forgive and take back
the husbands who have betrayed them, but
not once in a thousand times does has
band forgive the wife who is untrue to h4m
Many woman who wants to take an erring
sister into her home has the way barred by
her husband.
For the woman who has sinned and re-
pented, for the woman who has taken false
step and is trying to fight her way back
again to a clean life, women have infinite
pity and compassion, and they are ready to
help her in any way they can, but for the
woman who flaunts her shame in the pub
lies face, and who assesses her lost purity in
dollars and cents that she tries to collect
from some man, for the husband stealer, and
the home breaker, women have only con-
tempt, and a vast horror.
And why should they have anything else?

THE COUNTRY DOCTOR
Bv H. Addinqton Bruce

How to induce medical men to be content
with practising in rural districts is steadily
becoming a more Urgent problem. For,
though throughout the land there are plen-
ty of doctors to meet the populations needs,
they are so unevenly distributed that there
is surplus in cities and dearth in villages
! and small towns.
And year after year the medical drift from
the country intensifies. 1t is partly explain
ed by, blu; more than keeps pace with, the
general drift of people cityward.
How, indeed, can a doctor make living
when his clientele continually decreases by
migration? How can he live when, among
the patients who do remain, many betake
themselves to city hospitals for treatment
if their condition permits them to make a
journey?
Besides which, with neither hospital nor
laboratory facilities available IN country ols-
tricts, the country doctor of today feels him
self under a handicap that is unfair both to
him and to his patients.
He does not blame the latter it, at the
least threat of serious illness, they travel to
some city for the service he cannot give.
Should they blame him if he, too, travels to
some city-and remains there? In the city
he will have not merely a chance to enlorge
his practice, but a certainty of being better
able to grow in knowledge and skill.
Consequently it would seem that If rural
communities are to retain anything like a
sufficient number of medical practitioners,
they must make some effort to lessen the
country doctors difficulties and help him
realize his legitimate ambition to become
more efficient. One way they can do this
and at the same time greatly benefit them
selves-is by establishing community hos
pitfalls.
In these days of the automobile such hos
pitfalls could serve wide range of territory.
So that number of communities might well
cooperate for their support.
And If they were real hospitals-that Is,
hospitals with a resident superintendent, a
pathologst, and an adequate nursing stair
they might become research as well as
healing centers, to the great contentment OF
the doctors of the district nd the greater
! advantage Of all their patients
Modern medicine as President H. >
Pritchett hit long ago pointed out. discuss
ing the very subject Of the plight or the
country doctor, "cannot be conducted at us
proper level out of touch with the laDora-
tory and the hospital.
Modern trained physicians will not be
satisfied to undertake the diagnosis and
treatment OF diseas- independent Of these
aids. Furthermore those who dwell in the
rural parts of the country will demand, and
are entitled to receive, medical treatment
abreast of the medical progress Of the day.
The rural community hospital might not,
to be sure, entirely solve the problem OF
maintaining an adequate medical force in
rural districts But I am persuaded it
would go long way toward its solution.

woman who is the heroine of a most
unsavory scandal that is being much dis
cussed in the public prints, and who is suing
for a large sum of money the man she &C
cuses of having wronged her, is highly in
dignant because women condemn her.
In this particular case, there is scant JUS
LITIGATION for the sinner. She belonged to a
respectable family, she had been brought up
by a good mother in clean home, and was
earning a comfortable living by the practice
of an honest profession in which she was
skilled, so she had none of the excuses or
bad environment, or dire poverty, to palliate
her offense. Also, she was past twenty-one
years of age, old enough and wise enough
in the ways Of the world to realize just
what she was doing, and whittier her acts
led. More than that, she knew all the time
that her lover was a married man. In fact,
she was personally acquainted with his wife.
Indeed, the only excuse that the girl
offers for herself at all is that the man was
handsome and fascinating, and made love
beautifully, and so she threw her cap over
the wind mill, and stroIled off with him
down the primrose path. And because the
road ended, as it always does for the woman,
in the pit, she thinks that all other women
ought to shed barrels of tears over her, and
clasp her to their breasts.
And few other maudlinly sympathetic
people agree with her, and have scathing
women.
I wonder why, when women use their
heads instead Of their hearts, in judging an
| other woman that we always have to listen
to this charge that women are SO hard on
other women? Nobody accuses a man Of
being hard on another man when he deals
out justice, instead Of sloshy sentiment to
him.
When man commits crime, we expect
decent men to condemn him, but when a
woman commits a crime we expect women
to pity her and excuse her. We don't ex-
pect man to justify another man for steal
ing, or to weep on murderer's neck, but if
woman doesn't slobber all over every wom-
an criminal we raise our hands in horror
over the cruelty of woman to woman
If women sometimes administer a Spartan
justice in dealing with their erring sisters,
no one will deny that it makes for the we'll
being of the world. 1t is the knowledge that
other women will ostracize her, and draw
their skirts away from her if she does not
walk the straight and narrow path, that
keeps many and many weak sister on the
right road.
Public opinion is the thing that gives many
woman the backbone to resist temptation

ened by such reports and forecasts as
the federal departments of labor and of com
merce now give touching the country's eco
nomfc trend. Particularly cheering are the
figures on home construction.
Upwards of one million homes, the Off
Gals estimate, will be built this year. In
twenty-seven Northeastern States, embrac-
ing two-thirds of the national population,
contracts for seventy-five million dollars
worth of residence building were awarded in
February, approximately the same amount
in January, and one hundred and one mill
lion dollars worth in December. The month
ly average for the entire year 1921 was
seventy-three million dollars, and for the
year 1919, seventy-one million. The signif-
canoe of these comparisons is plain when
one remembers that ordinarily December,
January and February are the least active
months for building. The reasonable infer
ence is that the forthcoming seasons will be
especially rich in construction. 1t should be
added that the gains of the South in this
field of enterprise have been proportionately
greater than those of the country at large.
Peculiarly gratifying is the fact that near
