But don't jump at conclusions.
She’s no spendthrift She is one o!
the most level-headed and capable

It was for these qualities that tin
late President Harding appointed
her chairman of the United Stat ■
Employes' Compensation Commis

head such an independent govern

Her work concerns 600,000 fed

the awarding of compensation to

“I worked two months on my firs,

his final bow, the audience voiced
their appreciation for the great
conductor and composer generous'
applause. Had it been possible for
Sousa to have made a discord, even
this would have been applauded,
for the crowd went to hear music-
and music was ftrnished from the
first note of the weird Indian
medley until the triumphant note
of his final encore sounded.
Every number was perfect ana
every musician was superb in the
rendition of his .score. Sousa
knows music as few composers can
and into his conducting he puts his
entire .musical heart and soul
The cornet solo by John Dolan
was exquisitely interpreted, the
numerous»encorces calling him back
to play again.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT
,ibf?women have kidney
and bladder trouble and never sus
pect it.
Women's complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney trou
ble, or the result of kidney .or
bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss
of ambition, nervousness, are often
times symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don’t dflay starting treatment,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physi
cian’s prescriptions, obtained at
any drug store, may be just the
remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Get a medium or large size bot
tle immediately from any drug
store.
However, if yon wish first to
test this great preparation send ten
cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing

CUT CANTALOUPE
CROP IN LOWNDES
j VALDOSTA, Februaiy
j dications are that the cantaloupe
acreage in -Lowndes county for
1924 will be much less than in pre

slashing acreage, while some of the
smaller growers will not plant at all

The almost total failure of the
crop last year due to the wet

growers to hold off on heavy plant

Quart of Water
Cleans Kidneys
Take a Little Salts if Your Back
Hurts, or Btadder is
Troubling You
No man or woman can make a mis
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority. Eat
ing too much rich food creates acids,
which excite the kidneys. They become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste ; and
poisons from the blood. Tl»a we get
sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys, or jour back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, begin
drinking a quart of water each day,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water before breakfast,
and in a few days your kidnejis may act
fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water drink
which everyone should take now and
then to help keep the kidneys clean
and active and the blood pure, thereby
often avoiding serious kidney complica
tions.. By all means have your physi
cian examine your kidneys at least
twice a year.

GERMANY BO* BUYING
mil FOR SPINNING
$10,000,000 Credit Declared
Established in This Country
By Mills There
ATLANTA, Feb. 26.—A mar
ket for, Southern cotton that has
been closed since the starting of
the world war now is being re
opened through the reviving ac
tivity of the German textile mills in
buying and making use of many
thousands of bales of cotton from
the Southern states, it was stated
here today by Atlanta cotton men.
This, it was claimed, will result in
German spinners taking one hun
dred million dollars’ worth of cot
ton in the United States during
the coming crop year, thus creating
a demand for the South’s cotton in
a field that has been closed for
nearly ten years.
Up to January 1, of this year, if
was pointed out here, Germany had
purchased 500.000 bales of cotton
in America and represntatives o'
the cotton spinning industry there
have it is claimed established a
$10,000,030 credit with American
bankers. It is added that at least
200,000 bales in addition to the 509,
000 bales already recorded Bold,
will be required by Germany during
the new crop year.
Germany as a nation is bankrupt
iT.d million' of Germa’: jeople are
in dire want, according to Atlanta
bankers, but German financiers and
captains of industry still are able
to finance industry in that country,
and really the rehabilitation of
German business and industry, it
was pointed out, is about the only
thing that can give relief to the
masses in-that country through af
fording employment to them at
something like living wages.
