It has been suggested that those
organizations which for years have
been trying to clothe the Hottentots
and other heather residents of trop-

to trying to induce American girls
to wear more clothes.

If You Need a
Medicine You Should
Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products
that are extensively advertised, all
at once drop out of sight and
are soon forgotten? The reason is
plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to a
medicine. A medicinal preparation
that has real curative value almost
sells itself, as like an endless chain
system the remedy is recommend
ed by those who have been benefit
ed, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says take
for example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation | have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every
case it shows excellent results, as
many of my customers testify. No
other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements
and verified testimony of thousands
who have used the preparation, the
success of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact, so many
people claim, that it fulfils almost
every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects
urinary troubles and neutralizes
the uric acid which causes rheuma-
tism.
You may receive a sample bottle
Of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Ad-

MOULTRIE, Jan. 29.-The date

the nomination Of county officers
will take place on February 9th
the date originally fixed. This was
definitely decided at meeting of
members of the Democratic Execu-

for the purpose of deciding wheth-
er the county primary should be
consolidated with the state presi-
dental preferential primary. Con-
siderable discussion preceded the.
action of the committee. A num-
Der of interested citizens attend
ed the meeting and among these
there seemed to be much differ
ence of opinion on the proposition,
although it was discussed from
various angles.

IN WEEK
Idle Capital Seeking Invest
ment Gives Impetus to
Trading.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.

News Servtce.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Stimulated
by a continued flow of idle capital
seeking investment, interest in the
bond market broadened further. dur
ing the past week. Gilt-edged Sc
curities were primarily affected by
this abundance Of funds, while trad
ing in the lower grade ISSUES, al
though brisk at times, was more or
less spotty, indicating that the Janu-
ary reinvestment demand was near
ing its end.
Outstanding both in activity and
strength were the Liberty bonds.
Four issues not only established
new high records for this year, but
with one exception crossed the best
prices of 1923. The active buying
was reported in this group, orders
from bankers, institutions and in
dividuals investors swelling the
daily turnover to approximately $4,-
100000. AL.
Causes Of Impetus.
1t was evident that the unex.
pected overflow of cash resulting
from the steady increase in gold
holdings by the federal reserve
system, the rapid marketing of
crops, the flight Of European capital
to American centers and the lack
Of many large inventories in do
mestic industries carried by the
banks furnished the chief impetus
for buoyancy Of the country's
prime securities.
In the railroad list, the unusual
activity in the st. Paul obligations,
especially in the 1925 maturity, con-
tinued ability of this bond to hold
firm after 15.point recovery lent
color to the belief that the bonds
will be paid off at par at maturity.
British buying of the st. Pauls and
other well-known rails was apparent.
The collapse Of the franc and its
subsequent recovery created irregu-
larity in the French dollar bonds.
Confidence was created, however,
by the measures proposed by the
French government to build up its
currency and by the semi-official
statement as to the amount Of bonds
which had been repurchased for
the republics sinking fund, which
was interpreted to mean that
French finances were in better con-
dition than had been supposed.
New Financing.
New financing this week aggre.
gated about $152, 100000. compared
with $76.O0O.000 the previous week.
Underwriters were satisfied with
the reception given to the $50 600, ,000
Federal land bank bonds and the
new $4O,000,000 Argentine loan.
Various large issues were reported
in preparation, the most important
of which are for the account of
the Pennsylvania railroad; the Chi.
cago, Burlington; the New Orleans
Texas and Mexico; the Canadian
National railways, and the japanese
government. Finncing for the lat
ter will take the form Of about
$50, 100000 5h per cent bonds ma.
turing in forty years, proceeds tC
be used for the rehabilitation of
cities affected by the earthquake.

BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Dun's
Weekly Review of Business said to-
day:
Neither the volume of general
consumption nor the rate of pro-
duction has changed very much so
far in the new year. Demand still
large in certain trades as in leather
and footwear, but in some others as
in iron and steel and to a moderate
degree in textiles there is more buy
Ing. Some net gain has come this
month and prices are distinctly
stronger.
"The latter movement is the more
significant because it Is not the re-
suit of speculation, but chiefly of
purchases to cover actual require
ments. Even where activity has
Increased most conservatism governs
the operations and there is little
evidence that goods are being taken
for purposes other than to meet
real needs. This is a wholesome
and reassuring phase, and is in
contrast to- the conditions a year
ago when there was tendency in
some lines to over extend commit
ments. With large employment Of
labor now despite curtailment in
some industries, distribution of mer.
chandise is heavy.
1.-THE exceptionally open weather
in different sections with tempera-
lures above normal still checks re-
tail trade in seasonable apparel, vet
there is the offsetting factor of a
continuance Of outdoor work for a
longer time than usual and struc-
tural steel bookings are notably
large for this period of the year.
Notwithstanding existing irregulari.
ties and the uncertainties of the
European situation most reports
about domestic business are en-
couraging."
