If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake l>y taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.

Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, lad 1 COMMON ECONOMIC ERROR Farmers Should Abandon the “Ad vance System” and Buy for Cash For many years it has been the custom of Southern farmers to make their crop upon the “advance sys tem” and while this has been regard ed as an economic error on the side or the farmer, by many merchants it has been thought that it was a very profitable way of buying cotton The farmer realized that as a matter of safety it was better to make the food consumed by his fam ily and his stock upon the farm rath er than to purchase it and especially when he had to promise payment out of a crop which had not as yet been made I have been watching this phase of country life in the South for many years and have come to the conclusion that the “advance sys tem” is just as great a mistake on the part of the merchant as it is on the part of the farmer, for the fol lowing reasons: First, the merchant takes great risks, which, of course, he tries to cover by increased charges. But even though these charges are in creased, the staples of life are notsuch articles as a high percentage of profit 1 will adhere to, and the merchant is , practically trading gold for a promise ’ to pay. If the crop falls, he is oblig ; ed to carry and carry and carry and ■ possibly may ultimately, as in thous- • ands of cases, be obliged to take the ■ farm, for which ha has no use, and under boll weavll conditions is diffi- • cult to handle profitably upon a ten ; ant system. • Under a cash system there will be ■ a great reduction in the sales of ■ some staple foods such as bacon, po . tatoes, beans, lard, vegetables, cannec goods, hay, corn, etc., all articles ; that carry low profits. The farmer it ' rarely a hoarder of money and if he saves two hundred dollars or more by producing all his food supplies at , home he has that much more to spend when his crop is made, and it ' is cash. ; Under a cash system the farmer ' will buy with his surplus more dry > goods, clothing, shoes, furniture, etc., for his family, better teams, farm im plements, wagons, buggies, etc., on which there is a much greater profit ’ for the merchant than on staple ar ' tides of food. The merchant can 1 turn his money in thirty days, in stead of a year. Ten per cent clear i profit turned monthly is better than 120 per cent gain received annually. Some of the farmers increased in come goes into permanent improve ment to enable the farmer to produce more and spend more annually. Again, there is something about raising cotton, tobacco, etc., to pay a debt, that saps the vitality of the farmer and effects the quality of tillage. It really lowers the grade of farming. If upon the other hand the merchants will join with us in urging farmers to raise all their food sup plies and try to produce by better til lage double the crop per acre they now produce, the result as it effects the merchant will be this: All business will soon be on a cash basis and the volume will be three or four times as largo from the farmers alone. The advent of more money will bring diversified industries among the farmers and eventually will attract manufactures to the mar ket towns. If there are idle farms in the county instead of calling meetings for the purpose of raising funds to secure imigratlon, call meetings to encourage the farmers who know the country and are loyal to it, to uni versally adopt the following plan. First, provide their own food sup plies from the farm. Second double the average product on every acre under cultivation and let each work er on the farm by the use of bet ter teams and tools, till three times as many acres as at present, not in the one crop but in a variety of dl versified and profitable crops. This would cause an immediate demand for more land and would provide the money to pay for it. This makes every man on the farm more than six times the industrial power he now is and gives him a love of the farm. This is better than to leave him in discouragement and secure immi- I grants to come and buy him out. 1 should not speak so positively, , only 1 have obsen ed for a quarter of a century that where the Southern merchants have changed from an I "advance system” to a cash system. : they have prospered very much more than in former years and the number lof failures is immensely less. Os course, it is not meant that there I should be no credits, but practically there should be little necessity for them until the crop is actually ready for the harvest, then trade becomes a cash transaction. Or better still the farmer can get his money from the bank and pay cash in all cases if there is a lack of ready money. The advance system bears down upon the cotton farmer with special hardship. His crop is either sold at once or is sorted to the gin and the warehouse so as to secure loans. If the cotton farmer is not forced to sell to raise money or pay debts he will store bls crop on his farm and market at his leisure, which is in the interests of all parties. It appears to me, therefore, that the farmer will immeasurely gain when he produces what he hitherto bought in the way ofliving He is not com pelled to sell his crop immediately up on request on the harvest. When he does sell he trades for cash. The greater amount of money he has is very helpful to the family but the stimulus to his self respect is per haps the most important item to be considered. The merchant prospers by the greater volume of business an by the quick return of his money. It seems to me that these points should be urged upon all the people. S. A.

Water sports are by no means the only vigorous athletics Indulged in by the boys of Hawaii. Mountain climb ing Is a favorite pastime, for there are peaks 4,000 feet high within easy walk ing distance of any part of Honolulu, and on the Island of Hawaii there are two mountains fully 14,000 feet in height. Not infrequently the Honolulu schools give picnics on the mountain sides that the pupils may gather land shells. It is on these excursions in search of land shells that the Hawaiian schoolboys revel in the once national sport, mountain sliding. A very steep mountain side la se lected, where the gram Is long and sloping downward. Every one gathers his own tl leaves. The tl leaf is some thing like the banana leaf, but not near ly so long. With a bunch of tl leaves in his band the first boy steps to the edge of the side, grasps the leaves by the stems in both hands, places the leafy part under him and sits down, gives himself a start and drops down the edge of the scenery like a flash. I was assured that it was an easy mat ter to regulate the speed of descent by merely grasping the tl stems firmly and Utting them upward, this acting as a brake. I longed for the thrill of drop ping down over the edge of a moun tain and upon my brief sled of tl leaves began the descent I went like the wind. It seemed as though my breath would be taken away from me or that I would plunge head over heels, to be dashed to pieces among the trees be low. I thought of my brake and drew up on the tt leaves with all my might and came up with a Jerk that Jarred every bone in my body. There I sat looking downward almost perpendicu larly, held In position only by a tew leaves resting on the smooth, slippery grass, but the sliding grass Is nearly a foot long, and It Is only after it has been repeatedly alldden over and beat en down that it approaches perfection in the eyes of the Hawaiian small boy and sometimes leads to accidents. When, for instance, the thin layer of tl leaves wears out beneath the slide a gentle tug at the stalks parts the sled and sends the slider whizzing down ward In a most uncomfortable and un graceful manner, all arms and legs. Lucky Is the victim of such an accident If he Is not stopped In his downward career by the trunk of a tree.—St. Nicholas. A Sprained Ankle. As a rule a man will feel well satis fied if he can hobble around on crutch es in two or three weeks after sprain ing his ankle, and it is often two or three months before he is fully re covered. This is an unnecessary loss of time, as by applying Chamberlain’s Liniment, as directed, a cure may as a rule l>e effected in less than one week’s time, and in many cases within three days.

Atlanta, Ga. —In an effort to thwart the ravages being made ' upon the cotton crop of Georgia each year by black root and cot- j ton wilt, which are declared to be really as bad as anthracnos, the department of entomology under the direction of State Entomolo gist E. E. Worsham has begun a systematic distribution of im mune seed which it is believed will in time effectually stamp out these diseases. During the season just closed several tons of these seed which do not contract the disease named were grown in the vicinities of Vienna and Americus, and since ginning the seed have been sent to this department for distribu tion. Here they are measured out in packages of from 1 to 10 pounds each, and are being given free to the planters in the infest ed belt, which covers nearly all of South Georgia. » These immune seed are sown by the planters and cultivated until a sufficient number have been secured to plant a crop. In speaking of this work Prof. Worsham said: “We believe we have found a seed that is immune to black root and cotton wilt diseases, and so far our experiments have proven successful. These seed are distributed in small pack ages to the planters in order that they may raise more for planting, and in this way drive out these diseases with the immune seed. “The cotton crop of the state, its back-bone, is to be preserved at all hazards. Every part of the growing plant has become useful. There is perhaps greater devel opment being shown in the uses of cotton seed than any other part. This year that crop has brought thousands of dollars to the Georgia planters, and the products delivered from it have done much toward fattening his cattle, to which the cotton seed meal and hulls are fed, and will enrich his lands when used as a commercial fertilizer in the Spring. “The results from the use of these immune seed will be watch ed with interest throughout the state.” Tuns For Tune. Frederick the Great made generous presents to all musicians except flute players. He played the flute remark ably well himself. A famous flutist once asked permission to play to the king, hoping that Frederick would show his appreciation of his skill by some valuable gift. Frederick listened attentively while be played a difficult piece. "You play very well,” he said, “and I will give you a proof of my satisfaction.” So saying he left the room. The mu sician waited, guessing at the probable nature of the proof. Presently the king returned with his own flute and played the same piece. Then he bade his visitor "Goad day,” saying, “I have had the pleasure of hearing you. and it was only fair that you should hear me.” Always Keeps a Bottle in the House "About ten days before Christmas I got my hand hurt so badly that I had to stop work right in the busy time o fthe year,’ says Mr. Milton Wheeler, 2100 Morris Ave. Birming ham.
