Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first j

these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the

ACTIVITY IN FERTILIZERS.
Farmers Are Preparing For Big Cot-
, ton Crop.
Charleston, S. C-. Feb. 13.—The
movement of fertilizers from the fac
lories of Charleston, which has al
ready begun, promises to be the heav
iest on record. According to the
estimates made by the railroads, on
figures furnished by the miii3, the out
put will amount to ipore than 400,000
‘tons. This will require at least 23,-
000 cars. With the present car short
age and the general congestion the
freight agents are worried about the
conditions, as the business Is such
that It has to be handled without de
lay.
Thus far, however, the railroads
have been giving the best service pos
sible. They are unable to provide
cars as rapidly as last season. It Is
simply a question of cars, and the buy.
ors are appreciating this fact. The
fertilizer dealers think that from the
heavy demand the farmers are prepar
ing for a larger cotton acreago than
for many years.
