Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
Weak and unhealthy kidpeys are re
spongifile for much sickness and suffer)ng,
therefore, if kidney
Jp/rdi trouble is jxrrmitted to
|l continue, serious re
sults arc most likely
■ '.V P to follow. Your other
L- if/T'Kit U organs may need at
\r '^ *zZX I tention, but your kid
i I ne y 9 most, because
/■- 71Wthey do most and
should have attention
.——first. Therefore, when
your kidneys are weak or out of order,
you can understand how quickly your en
tire laxly is affected and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or “ feel badly,” begin
taking the.great kidney remedy, Ur.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. A trial will con
vince you of its great merit.
The mild ami immediate effect of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest because its remarkable
health restoring properties have been
proven in thousamisoi the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. __

THE SPLIT LOG DRAG.
It is pretty well known by our
people that the road drag—the
split-log drag— is an economical
effective and practical rneans> of
improving earth roads. We knov
full well that our past mehods
of working the roads have not
very rapidly or materially im
proved their condition. It lias
been demonstrated beyond doubt
tha* the best, easiest and cheap
est means of improving earth
roads is by the use of the road
drag. We want better roads, and
we know that the road drag will
give them to us. We know, fur
ther, that its use is simple and in
expensive and the benefits large,
but we do not use it.
In view of all these facts, will
someone tell us why we do not
use the split-log drag on our dirt
roads? We confess we have been
compelled to give up the conun
drum. Not long since the writer
heard a man discussing the advan
tages of good roads, and in course
oi bis talk he stated he would
give $1 an acre to have a good
road in front of his farm of 640
acres. An examination of the
road in front of his place showed
it to be fairly well graded and
Grained, but in very bad condi
tion otherwise because rough and
badly cut up. In fact, it was
just such a dirt road as could be
kept in good condition at the mer
est fraction of the amount this
man stated he would be willing
Io pay for good roads. On being
questioned he admitted he knew
of the split-log drag and had ev
ery reason to believe that the
statements made of the results
obtained from its use were correct
When asked why he had not used
it, he stated that he was not the
road supervisor; and when asked
still further why he did not use
the drag himself and obtain and
maintain a good road at much
bss cost than he had stated he
was willing to pay, he frankly
admitted that he considered it
too much trouble. Good roads
are expensive to build and cost
money aud trouble to maintain in
good condition.
We appear to want good roads,
but it is certain we do not want
them a.s much as we profess, or
there would be more split-log
drags in use. When each land
owner is willing for the sake of
a good road in front of his place,
to spend fifty cents to a dollar
a month in labor of men and
teams to drag the roads passing
bis own lands, then, and not un
til then, shall we have passed be
yond the talking stage on to
the working stage of a desire for
good roads. By all odds, this
is the cheapest and most effect
ive means of improving our earth
roads which is within our reach.

COTTON GOODS AND COTTON
(New York Journal of Commerce)
The cotton goods trade is fol
lowing the advance in raw cotton
with amazement and chagrin.
Merchants realize only too keenly
that if they are to distribute ev
en a sub-normal output of all
products this year they must of
fer them to distributers at very
close profits. They know that
there has been no such uplift in
the purchasing powers of consum
ers in the past few months as
are reflected in the higher values
placed on cotton, on wool and on
"other things that are necsesaries
of life, yet they find themselves
confronted with widespread spec
ulative influences at the moment
when they are puzzled to devise
means by which even a sub-nor
mal output can be sold.
The adverse purchasing condi
tions noted among the masses in
this country are paralleled else
where, and in the world’s largest
cotton goods market, Manchester,
they see a condition which does
not warrant the expectation of
full demands upon the stocks of
cotton that are held in the world
at this time. The speculation in
values is based on something that
may come and not something that
exists, and it may or may not be
legitimate in its field. Merchants
have complained long and bitter
ly of the modern conditions to
predicate future merchandising
on possible elements that may
arise in speculative circles and
be reflected back to them through
their banks.
In a season of normal demand
for merchandise this present
sj eeulation in cotton might be re
garded as stimulating to business
but just at this time merchants
feel only the lack of response in
a market that has been hesita
ting and faltering for a month
or more. They are puzzled to
know what the outcome is to be,
but for the moment they are fore
ed to see that they cannot secure
a response from the consuming
public on merchandise, as specu
lators have secured a response
from their clientele on cotton.
Users of cotton goods refuse to
pay the higher prices that would
be in keeping with the sharp ad
vance in cotton and they have
retired from the buying market.
Sellers of finished goods are com
plaining more or less irregularly
from Maine to California of some
thing that, is holding back busi
ness. Possibly the tariff agita
tion is the cause, possibly it i s
the high cost of living, it may
be due to the lack of employment
for all at wages commensurate
with the cost of living; but what
ever the underlying cause is, the
effect is seen in a determination
not to pay higher prices for goods
to be used now, and in a great
many instances a determination
to buy nothing more until the
new phases of merchandising
have changed.
Uninfluenced by speculative
values on raw materials merchants
might readily go ahead on future,
work feeling that underlying eon
ditions are improving, such as
the steel trade, the net earnings
of railroads, copper and crop pros
pects. But other things enter in
and overshadow the force of the
things that merchants ought to
count on legitimately.
On printed goods where prices
have dropped %c a yard in the
past, week some of the jobbers
are finding fault at the short, dis
counts allowed by agents. They
admit that the base price is very
low considering producing costs
as they stand, but they say they
have grown accustomed to al
lowances that permit them to do
business on 9 per cent rather
than 6 per cent, hence they say
they will not buy prints unless
they are made more profitable
for them. But while some job
bers are talking in this way oth
ers are ordering prints instead,
and agents have now no fear that
all goods they care to sell at the
current low figures will be moved
On bleached goods agents are
sitting quietly and anticipating
only a moderate business for the
mxt two or three weeks. There
is no weakening in priee talked
ot.
On drills, sheeting, print cloths
and other gray goods buyers
would not pay higher prices dur
ing the day. and even asked if
those goods would not be lower.
A CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
What promises to be one of ■
the most valuable discoveries in
medical science amounts to noth-'
ing less than a speedy and cheap
cure for tuberculosis.
The fortunate discoverer is
Wiliam Doig, head of a noted
publishing company in London.
Mr. Doig retired from business
several years ago, devoting him
self entirely to his hobby—medi
cal study.
He first discovered he could
cure tuberculosis of the bone, and
only in recent years he has found
a method of applying his discov
ery to the cure of consumption.
The treatment is extremely sim
ple. A poultice containing acite
and chloride (the exact prescrip
tion has not yet been announced,
but there is no intention on the
pert of Mr. Doig to keep it se
cret) is placed on the body of
the patient as near as possible to
the organ or membrane that has
become prey to the tuberculosis
bacilli, connected by what is
ailed a ray of inflamation with
the diseased organ. This forms a
kind of duct, through which the
muco-pus is drawn out of the
system.
The ulcer needs to be carefully
dresser twice a day with a salve,
which is also the discovery of
Doig, If this is neglected the ul
cer spreads, becomes black, and
the patient dies. But if properly
attended to the ulcer steadily
works off all diseased matter from
the lung until in from four to
six weeks a complete cure is ef
fected.
William Doig has brought his
discovery before the American
ambassador, who was much in
terested. It was determined, how
ever, to postpone reporting on the
subject until the final series of
tests has placed the efficacy of
the remedy beyond all dispute.
Doig declared that in his practice
be has never had a single failure.
As a test ease Doig was chal
lenged to undertake the cure of
a youth seventeen years old, who
was certified to be suffering from
advanced tuberculosis of the
glands of the throat, which ren
dered it impossible for him to
speak except in hoarse whispers.
The youth weighed about 100
pounds, and in the opinion of the
physicians his death within two
years was a foregone conclusion.
Nothing daunted, Doig undertook
to cure this unpromising case. To
the amazement of everyone the
lad is now quite cured. He has
put on flesh, he sings merrily at
his work, and all trace of tuber
culosis has disappeared.
Before the discovery is official
ly recognized a final test on a
larger scale is to be made. Six
patients, certified by physicians
to be suffering from unmistaka
ble tuberculosis are to be placed
in a private hospital and sub
jected to the Doig treatment, un
der close supervision by scientif
ic experts, who will carefully
watch each ease from first to last
Doig is confident that within six
months, barring accidents, he
will have cured all six sufferers.
The cost, of the experimen is es
timated to be SIO,OOO.
The treatment is not painful, al
though somewhat troublesome.
When the ulcer is started a dress
ing twice a day is all that is re
quired. No internal medicine is
administered, nor do patients
need to lie abed during the treat
ment. In the ease of the youth
whose cure has been described he
remained at work all the time.

Repentance is always lame with
out restitution and reformation.
Trading was very limited.
Cutters are doing little except
ou fall goods. There is a very
general feeling in he market
still that fall trade will be good,
but in the interim the happenings
seem very cloudy to most mer
chants.
Trading in print cloth has come
to a standstill, as converters and
printers are not ready to follow
the cotton markets upward and
will not pay higher prices for
cotton goods at this time. The
: mills are holding steady but
■ some are willing to make long con
i tracts now at favorable prices
based on to-day’s costs. Some
goods are being offered from sec
ond hands at slight concessions.
