Get a 10-cent box now.
Turn the rascals out —the head

Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver, clogged bowels, or an upset
stomach.
Don’t put in another day of dis
tress. Let Cascarets cleanse your
stomach; remove the sour, fermenting
food; take the excess bile from your
liver and carry out all the constipat
ed waste matter and poison in the
bowels. Then you will feel great.
ACascaret tonight straightens
you out by morning. They work while
you sleep. A 10-cent box from any
drug store means a clear head, sweet
stomach and clean, healthy liver and
bowel action for months. Children

COTTON SEED
FIXED AT $75
Market Bureau Says It
Helped Farmers
PRICE IS SATISFACTORY
STATE AGRICULTURAL DEPART
MENT HAS SHOWN CONSIDER
ABLE INTEREST IN ARRANGE
MENT OF SEED PRICES
Atlanta, Jari. 3.—Directly as a re
sult of the intervention on the part
of the State Bureau of Markets of
the Georgia Department of Agricul
ture, a definite minimum price of
if 75.00 per ton, carload lots, f. o. b.
shipping point has been fixed for cot
ton seed, when the mills were refus
ing to pay more than $72.50 for it
on account of the Federal Food Ad
ministration in setting up fixed prices
for cotton seed products.
After the food administration had
fixed the maximum prices for cotton
seed products, and allowed the mills
sl3 per ton for overhead expenses
and profits, the best obtainable offer
for seed was $72.50 car lots, f. o. b.
shipping point.
Director L. B. Jackson, of the State
Bureau of Markets, saw at once from
the figures given as the maximum
prices for products, that $72.50 was
too low a price for seed, and imme
diately called the attention of the
federal food administration to the
discrepancy. The result of Director
Jackson’s intervention was a reply
from Dr. A. M. Soule, Federal Food
Administrator for Georgia, in which
after setting forth the prices for pro
ducts and the allowances, he clearly
stated that the minimum price of
$75 per ton, car lots, f. o. b. shipping
point, should prevail.
Dr. Soule further stated that all
producers of seed should note care
fully the prices set down for products
and “should not sell their seed at a
price below that above quoted.”
The action of the State Bureau of
Markets has thus resulted in a ma
terial saving to the producer on all
seed remaining in his hands.
Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, ns they cannot reach
the diseased portion ot tho car. There
is only one way to euro catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
o'J.arrhnl Deafness in caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining- of
the Euslachlrn Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless tho
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its notmsl condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an in earned condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts thru the

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Jackson People Should Learn to De
tect the Approach of Kidney
Disease
The symptoms of kidney trouble
are many. The kidneys act irregular
ly. Annoying, distressing bladder ir
rgularities hang on. Thd back may
ache, headaches and dizzy spells may
occur and the victim is often weigh
ted down by a feeling of languor
and fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger. Delay often
proves fatal.
You can use no better endorsed
kidney remedy than Doan’s Kidney
Pill’s Here’s Jackson proof of their
merit, Jackson testimony.
Mrs. J. R. Thurston, Brookwood
Avenue, says: “I strained my
back while house cleaning and my
kidneys became overtaxed. I suf
fered so much that I had to put pil
lows under my back and I was so
sore that I couldn’t stoop over.
My kidneys acted irregularly and
caused me much annoyance.
I bought Doan’s Kidney Pills
from Slaton Drug Company
and they relieved the pains in my
back and all symptoms of kidney
trouble disappeared.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
