COTTON HOLDING
STEADILY ABOUT
PRESENT VALUES
DEMAND IS NONE TOO GREAT BUT
CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT IS
EXPECTED.
Americus warehousemen had few
offerings this morning that could not
readily be supplied, and while there is
no advance in values the market, for
tunately, has not slipped its cable and
gone the other way. The demand now
is far the best grades, while the great
er portion of that now being marketed
here is stained by recent rains. Six
cents is the top offering for middling
grades, while fancier cotton will
bring a half cent better.
Most of the cotton that is being gia
nt dis being held so- a better price.
The farmer does not know whether the
market will improve later or not, but
he does know that 6 or 7 cents is too
cheap for cotton, from his point of
view. He expects to be able to get ad
vances of at least 6 cents before long
and on that basis he will prefer to take
the chance.
There seems a healthier tone m
financial circles. New Nork is return
ing toward a normal basis, and good
prowess is being made with the pro
motion of the big $150,000,000 cotto.i
pool. This will provide for 5,000,000
bales at 6 cents a pound, and that, to
gether with the amounts independ
ently held and the “buy a bale" con
tingent, will remove about half the
whole crop from the market.
Mins may And they made a mistake
in waiting for still lower prices, before
stocking up.

GERMAN CALVADYMEN
CARELESS OE HORSES
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON. Oct. 23.—However effec
tive the German army may be in other
respects, its cavalry men, even the
1 Uhlan, do not know how to take care
1 of horses says E. A. Cantrell of New
j port, Kentucky, who has arrived in
London after an exciting trip through
the German lines in Belgium. Every
cavalry horse he observed, seemed to
suffer from sore back. The returning
cavalrymen generally led their mounts
with saddle loosened. Some of the
backs were quite raw. This :s largely
due, he thinks, to the way tbe Germans
have of turning around in th:ir saddles
to ease their positions when on the
march.
The German artillery and equipment
impressed Cantrell as being perfect.
There was not a detail lacking. The
men all fit their places and seemed in
the best of spirits.
PUBLIC FORGETS FIGHTING
IN ALSACASE WHILE SCRAP
COES ON IN NORTH
(By Associated Press.)
PARIS, Oct. 23.—The stupendous op
erations of the millions of men fighting
in Belgium and northern France have
quite overshadowed the struggle for
the possession of Southern Alsace,
which was the first really important
development of the war. Official com
munications have largely ignored this
theater of operations and most people
are unaware that the struggle has
continued and that the region between
Altkirch and Cernay has seen several
reverses of the fortune of war.
The town of Thann, important be
cause commanding the valley of Wes
serling has been taken and retaken
several times. Mulhausen, twice taken
and occupied by the French, was at
last accounts again in the hands of
the Germans, as a result of the with
drawal of General Pau’s army to rein
force the armies of the north.
Despatches from Basle state that
each one of these changes of fortune
has been'particularly trying to the
population. Conspicuous native Alsac
ians were punished after the first Ger
man reoccupjation for alleged ser
vices rendered to the French, while,
after the second French occupation it
was the turn of native German citizens
to suffer for giving information to the
Germans.
At Thann the German mayor and j
postmaster were shot after the second
French occupation for spying in favor
of the Germans. Moreover, in retalia- 1
tion for the action of the French in
taking away with them all the men of
age to bear arms from the villages oc
cupied by them, the Germans called
out every man in Alsace between the
ages of 17 and 45, In consequence
there is much distress in many vil
lages where there are only old men,
women and children left.
This unhappy land, serving as a
buffer between the belligerent coun
tries is far from seeing the end of its
trials. The battles that have followed
each other almost daily since Septem
ber 13th are only the prelude to bigger
and more destructive engagements that
will immediately follow the decisive
result of the battle of the Aisne.
IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEY BOTHER
Eat less .Beat: Also Take Glass of
Salts Before Eating Breakfast.
Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kindeys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a sick person shortly. At first you
feel a dull misery in the kidney region,
you suffer from backache, sick head
ache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
,Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam
ous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined witn
lithia and has been used for genera
tions to clean clogged kidneys anl
stimulate them to normal activity", al
so to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while it is only trouble.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Troubles
Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi
tion of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical anal
ysis of the patient’s urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs can
not readily be brought back to health
and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright’s disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves as
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is soon
realized, according to sworn state
ments and verified testimony of those
who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention and wish a sample bottle,
write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. Mention the Americus
Times-Recorder, enclose ten cents, and
they will gladly forward it to you by
Parcel Post.

ENGLISH POETS BUST
COMPOSING WAR SONGS
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Oct. 23.—The common
greeting in London is “How are you
getting along with your war song?"
Everybody is writing a war song, hon
ing to give Britain another Marseil
laise. But so far none of the recruiting
songs which the music halls are trying
to popularize have taken with the re
cruits, whose favorite remains the en
tirely unmartial “It’s A Long Way to
Tipperay.” The favorite whistling
t
tune on the march is by all odds the
Marseillaise, althocgh the solders’
chorus from “Faust,” and any spirited
air has only to be started to be taken
up by the entire line. This is why
most of the war song composers choose
’he old tunes rather than those made
to order.
One amateur poet sent a set of
verses to the London Times with the
chorus-;
“Here’s to Lord Kitchener; brown as
the sun.
Gentle, persuasive and balmy;
Giving) his orders and getting them
done,
All that he wants for the army.”
In this case the writer’s attempt to
rhmye balmy with army caused much
greater indignation among the untu
tored recruits than among the scholar
poets, for “barmy” in common use
means weak in the intellect.
Barmy, however, is used in its cor
rect sense by the brokers’ battalion o?
the Glasgow stock exchange, who cail
themselves Cameron men. Their wail
begins.
‘ Why did we join the Cameron men?
| Why did we join the army?
| Why did we come to Aldershot?
Because we’re bally well barmy.
Skilly and duff, skilly and duff,
Because ye’re bally well barmy.”
The Liverpool regiment has a dis
tinctive marching song in the Lanca
shire dialect. It runs:
“We all coom fra’ Lancashire,
We all coom fra’ Lancashire,
Gradely fowk from a gradely place,
By Gum, we mean to show the pace.
We all coom fra’ Lancashire,
"We re all bairns of a feyther 1
If tha’ll ha’ one wi’ me.
Then I’ll ha’ one wi’ thee,
€’or we’re all good pals together.”
There are many songs in dialect by
which commands from certain pro
vincial points identify themselves. Os
the purely patriotic songs, by far the
most popular is “Rule Britannia.”
GERMAN LIEUTENANT BLUFFS
BELGIAN FORTRESS INTO
SURRENDERING
i
(By Associated Press.)
THE HAGUE, October 23.—Not since
1866 has the decoration known as
“Pour le Merit” been given a lieuten
ant in the German army. For this reas
on the bestowal of this order upon
Lieutenant Otto von der Line, serving
in the oth guard regiment is of interest
He was awarded this very high and
covetted distinction because on Aug
ust 24 with four men he took Fort 1
Malonne at Namur before it had been
subjected to artillery fire.
How Lieutenant von der Line accom
plished this has been described by him
in a letter to his parents:
“I was ordered to advance against
the fort with 500 men ,our course lying
across an open field without cover,” he
said. “Everywhere loopholes stared at
us, and I expected that if we were not *
anihiliated from them, the many mines
about the fort would take care of us.
Many officers had volunteered for the i
task of attacking the fort, but I was
picked out to do it.
“Arrived near the fort I took four of
my men and approached in good
march, picking our way carefully
through the field of mines. The draw
bridge was up, and the broad moat fill
ed with water made it impossible for
us to get into the fort.
“We soon saw the commandant, and
I shouted to him that I had a whole
regiment cf artillery in a nearby for
est and that the bombardment would
commence within a minute in case he
did not surrender. After that the com-

“I then ordered the garrison of the
