MONEY IN SIGHT
FOR THE GROWERS
Henry Bill Before Congress Proposes
Loan Os Half Million Dollars
To Growers
BASIS OF 12 CENTS POUND
Governors of Cotton Growing States
Assembled in Washington Urge
Quick Action by Congress
Washington.—Charles S. Barrett, the
president of the Farmers’ Union, was
enthusiastic over the showing made
before the house banking and curren
cy committee in favor of the Henry
bill, which provides for advances from
the treasury to aid the cotton farm
ers.
The bill contemplates the issuance
of $500,090,000 through the new feder
al reserve banks, to be advanced to
the farmers on cotton on the basis of
12 cents a pound.
“This would mean real relief," said
Mr. Barrett, "The various other meas
ures which have been proposed are
good in their way. but they don’t go
far enough. This is on the right line.
We realise that it is a ttemendous un
dertaking to put it through, but I am
very hopeful we will get a favorable
report from this committee.”
Gov. John M. Slaton of Georgia was
one of the three state executives who
attended the hearing. Governor Sla
ton did not speak or commit himself
in favor of the bill, but put in the
committee's record a written statement
outlining his views.
Governors Ixrck Craig of North Car
olina and David J. Brewer of Missis
sippi were also present.
WILSON SATISFIED WITH MEXICO
President Is Convinced Constitutional
ists Have Brought About Peace
in Mexico
Washington.—President Wilson is
permitting the information to go out
to all concerned that he has complete
confidence in the ultimate pacification
of Mexico by the powers now in con
trol of the affairs of that republic. The
president meant his order for the evac
uation of Vera Cruz to form an ex
pression of that confidence, and he is
taking other means to emphasize it.
He said that the national convention
called by General Carranza at the City
of Mexico for October 1, contrary to
the general impression was not to be
a purely military convention. Accord
ing to the president’s information the
generals in command of the various
revolutionary armies will be delegates
to the convention, but with them and
holding equal powers, will sit the gov
ernors of the various states and other
high civil officials of the governments
of the states as now organized.
Lever Pushing Warehouse Bill
Washington.—Representative Lever
of South Carolina attempted to secure
unanimous consent to put through the
house the cotton warehouse bill. He
met with objection. This bill provides
for government license to be issued to
warehouses which conform to certain
specifications. The application is to
be entirely voluntary and the only ad
vantage of the measure is the added
value as security which will be given
to warehouse receipts for cotton, grain
and other commodities.
McAdoo Warns Southern Banks
Washington.—A warning to national
banks which have received government
funds to aid crop moving or which
have received emergency currency, not
to charge excessive interest rates or
to refuse legitimate credit, was given
by Secretary McAdoo in a formal state
ment dealing with the present situa
tion in the cotton growing states. The
secretary declared lie would not hesi
tate to withdraw government deposits
from offending banks or to refuse to
issue emergency currency to them.
National Cotton Fashion Show
Washington. -Under the patronage
of Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, wife of
wife of the vice president of the Unit
ed States; Mrs. Champ Clark, wife
of the speaker, many wives of cabinet
members and social leaders, the na
tional cotton fashions show will be
t>e held at the New Willard, Washing
ton, on October 7-8. The national cot
ton bargain sale begins October 7.
Pleads for U. S. Disarmament
New York. —Speaking here before an
audience of many thousands of persons
gathered to bear the cause of peace
urged by prominent Americans, Champ
Clark, speaker of the house of repre
sentatives, called upon the United
States to lead in a movement after
the war for "disarmament by percent
age" by all countries. This country,
he said, had four reasons for leading
such a movement —its wealth, homoge
neous population, geographical posi
tion and practical immunity from inva
sion.”

tact with all classes of people, and

Th& Aeroplane.
The effect of the aeroplane in war
fare is shown in the statement by the
official press bureau regarding the
German army corps. Nearly all of
them, it says confidently, have been
definitely located. Presumably the ;
German airmen are equally aware of i
the Franco-Belgian concentrations;
and so for the first time in history a
great war will be fought almost like
a game of chess, where each player
knows the disposition of the adver
sary’s pieces no less than that of. his
own. Generalship will not be abol
ished by the change; there is general
ship in chess, but it will be a great
deal modified. Going back to the last
great wars fought with civilized re
sources, the Japanese won their decis
ive victory at Mukden by bringing up
an army of which the Russians were
unaware at a point where they were
not expecting one. Under today’s con
ditions of aeroplane scouting the bat
tle could not have been won in the
way in which it was. Nor could the
battle of Kirk Kilisseh.
Nursery College.
Mrs. Bernard Mole of London came
over here recently to see how the land
lay for establishing a "nursery col
lege" in America such as she founded
in England six years ago. There are
a number of these colleges in England,
whose graduates command at the start
$lO a month as a "nursery nurse" who
has had the advantage of caring for
real babies under the training of a
professional nurse, learning also to
make children's clothes, laundry work
and also attend lectures on first aid,
physiology and sex hygiene during the
six months’ course.

American Military History.
One hundred years ago the little
American force pretentiously desig
nated as the Army of the North re
tired from Plattsburg to the south
bank of the Saranac river, in readiness
to meet the British army, which was
now almost within striking distance.
General Macomb, the American com
mander, . had about 3,500 men In his
army, but perhaps less than 2,000 were
fit for active duty. The British force
numbered between 12,000 and 14,000
men, the majority of whom were vet
erans in the service. Notwithstanding
the seeming impossibility of defense.
General Macomb maneuvered his little
army and gathered such re-enforce
ments by earnest appeal as to enable
him to anticipate the meeting with the
enemy with the utmost confidence.

Physicians Recommend Castoria
/^ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma
ceutical societies and medical authorities, It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tho
result of three facts: First— The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
SecozH/—-That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: taw—lt is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to
the information. — Hall’s Journal of Health.

n Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. IL Hetcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "'I have prescribed your*
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory.”
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Your Castoria stands
i first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have
found anything that so filled the place.”
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y,, says: “I have used your Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent.”
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as 1 have never found anything to equal It for children’s
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field; but I always
see that my patients get Fletcher’s.”
Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: “As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.”
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “The name that your Cas
toria has made for Itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and.
believe it an excellent remedy.”
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found It
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria.”

Keep Down Uric Acid
Uric acid is a poison formed inside our bodies
in digesting certain foods, especially meat,
and by the burning up of nerve and muscle
cells during exertion.
Uric acid is harmless as long as the kidney#
Alter It promptly from the blood, but people
who overdo and overeat, make uric acid so fast
that it overloads the blood, weakens tho kid
neys, and attacks the nerves, causing rheu
matic pains. It forms gravel, hardens the
arteries and bringson dropsy or Bright's disease.
