Help the Old Folks
A Helping Hand Extended to Many
Old People i'm McCOnnelsville

The infirmities of age are many.
Most old people have bad back.
The kidneys are often weak.
Or worn out with years of work.
Backache means days of misery,
Urinary troubles, nights of un-
rest.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped
to make life easier for many.
They are doing SO for old and
young.
McConnelsville people are learn
ing this.
Read the following local endorse
ment.
George H. Best, retired farmer,
Vine ST., says: II think hard work
weakened my kidneys and mornings
my back troubled me. Whenever I
stopped pains gripped my back and
1 could hardly straighten. A dull,
steady ache across my back wore me
out and / could hardly keep going.
Ny kidneys were in bad shape and
it was hard to pass the secretions
which contained a brick-dust sedi-
ment and burned in passage. A rel
ative advised me to try Doan's Kid
ney Pills and they were just the
remedy I needed. After using
Doan's, the backache left and my
kidneys acted normally"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Best had. Foster-Milburn

NEW YORK, August 1S.-The cot ton market was nervous and unset tied this morning. Early declines on reports of showers in the southwest were followed by rallies on the west ern belt forecast for a renewal of clear weather, but the market eased again in the late trading. October sold up from 23.91 to 24.90 and closed at 24.O1, with the general market closing barely steady at net decline of four points on August and of 23 to 99 points on other months.
 The market opened easy at de- cline of 24 to 39 points on the Texas shower reports. Many traders were inclined to question whether these showers would not do more harm drought has been the most promi- nent bullish factor on recent ad- vances, and the hope that it was at last broken led to heavy realizing or liquidation for over the weekend. December sold off to 23.75 and Jam uary to 23.44 making net declines of A to 50 points on the general list, and reactions of S5 to 110 points from the recent high figures Buy ing on a scaledown was encouraged by reports of an improving demand for cotton goods and complaints of continued showers in the eastern belt, however, and the market stead fed during the middle of the morn ing. The western belt forecast, in-- dicating that the showers reported today were to be followed by clear ing weather over Sunday. helped the rally which followed. Some trade buying was also reported, but, after selling up to 24.05 for December and 23.67 for January, priced weakened again under renewed realizing. Last prices were about 10 to 19 points off from the best. The midmorning rally was probably promoted by re- ports that a prominent Memphis firm estimated the crop as of August lO at only 10,544,0oO bales.
 Sales of print cloths in the Fall River market week were estimated at about 100000 pieces, or the larg- est business for some time. The cen sus figures showing domestic com sumption of 461,575 bales for July, against 45S,002 last year, attracted no special comment.

COTTON NERVOUS, Primer Cotton 4 CLOSING AT LOSS In Stiffening Pr OF 4 TO 39 POINTS Asked For CIot

NEW YORK, August 18.-Firmer cotton markets have assisted in stiff fening the prices asked for cloths and have helped to bring forward a renewed demand for grey cloths. The improvement in finished goods de- mand has been moderate as yet. Some gain Is reported in the call for ging hams, percales and some of the brown goods, but the converters of- fering lines for spring, 1924, continue to find buyers indifferent, save on sample or small commitments. The jobbers are doing a steadier trade as the near approach of more active retailing period is forcing attention to the need for replenishment. The retailers are pursuing hand-to- mouth policy on most of the staple goods.
 The sales of wash fabrics and other strictly seasonable fabrics are being made at concession in distributing hands. There has been small in- crease in the demand for automobile mats sale of 100000 yards of heavy sateens being reported for upholstery purposes at 4115 cents a pound. Cur tailment of production in cotton manufacturing centers continues to increase, induced largely by the linn ited call for late delivery goods and the lack of profit in any of the busi- ness offered with cotton around 25 cents pound. There has been some .quickening in the demand for colored goods for working shirts and work ing suits, but prices are called very low. Yarns are high and in better call. Prices in primary cloths mar kets are as follows: Print cloths, 2S-lnch, 64x64s, 6Bc; GA eos, 65sc; SS1k inch, 64x64s, sac Brown sheet irgs, southern standards, 15c; den- inns. 220s, indigo, 23c.
