Do the right thing at the right time Act quickly in time of danger. In time of kidney danger, Doan's Kidney Pills are most effective. Plenty of Edgefield evidence of their worth. J. W. Reel, grocer and butcher, Penn and Main Sts., Edgefield, says: "My trouble was mostly with my back. My kidneys were sore and pains across my back bothered me considerably. If I lay too long on my back at night, my kidneys began to ache and mornings I felt tired and stiff. My kidneys were congested and did not act freely enough. Knowing of Doan's Kidney Pills, I used them and they cured me. I am glad to say I have not been troubled since." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Reel had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. NOTICE!

Clemson College, Nov. 14.-What are the best varieties of fruits for South Carolina? To answer this question now so often being asked, Prof. C. C. Newman, Chief of the Horticulture Division, has prenared the .following lists and notes. He sug gests that orders be placed early as the demand this season is very great. Peaches-Mayflower, Greensboro, Mamie Ross, Carmen, Belle of Geor gia, Elberta, Chinese ,Cling. This list is given in order of maturity and will give a succession of fruit from June 1 to August 15. Belle of Geor gia and Elberta are the two varieties planted most extensively for carlot shipments. Plums-The plum is a very impor tant fruit for home use and local, market and should be planted more generally. We recommend Red June, Shiro, (Early Gold), Abundance.. ' Apples-early summer varieties, -Liveland, Early Harvest, Red June. Summer varieties-Yellow Horse, Kinnard. Winter varieties Delicious, Staymen, ; Winesap, Ter ry's Winter, Rome Beauty, Yates. The Piedmont region is well adapted to growing apples, provided they are planted on rich soil and given prope?: attention. Apples should be grown commercially in some sections of Western South Carolina. The Deli cious, Staymen, and Winesap are recommended for commercial plant ings. Pears-Pears have not proven profitable commercially because the trees are subject to blight. The Keiffer seems to be more blight-re sistant than any other. Cherries-Early Richmond, Black Tartarian, Montmorency, Morello. Pecans.-Stuart, Schley, Money maker. There are other varieties that 'have proven to be well adapted to certain sections of the South, but the three mentioned are recommend ed for planting in this state. Figs-Celeste, Lemon, Brunswick, Magnolia. The Celeste is decidedly the best fig for the Piedmont region as it is more hardy than any other variety. However, when the Lemon, Brunswick and Magnolia are planted in protected places they are seldom seriously injured by cold. Grapes-The grape is one of our most dependable fruits, the crop rarely being injured by frost. Grapes should be planted more extensively for local market as well as for ship ping in carlots to the Eastern mar kets. Bunch varieties-Moore's Ear- . ly, Lucile, Niagara, Delaware, Con cord, Ives. Muscadine ty|>ei-Scup-.-i pernong, Eden, James, Flowers. The Flowers is a very late grape and will hang on the vine in good condition until very late in October. Blackberries.- Eldorado. While there are many other good varieties, the Eldorado has given best results in our trials. Dewberries-Lucretia is decidedly the best variety. Raspberries. - When raspberries are planted on a northern or western slope on very rich soil and mulched with straw or leaves, good results will be obtained. The following va rieties hav proven best in our trials: Cuthbert, Greeg, Cumberland. Strawberries.-For extra early berries plant the Excelsior; for main season the Lady Thompson and Klondyke. Eureka News. Mr. and Mrs. St. Clair Asbell of Ridge Spring spent Sunday in the home of Mr. J. E. Timm?rmaan.

Ma nipulation of markets, shipments from abroad and kindred difficulties have beset growers and selling agen cies d uring the past few years, but it now looks like the peanut is get ting on a stable basis and riding a high horse, at that. Prices in the Au gusta district are quoted at hundred dollars a ton on board cars at sta tions on the farms. This means any where from fifty to seventy-five dol lars per acre return in the matter of peanuts for the nuts aione, to say nothing of the valuable hay. There may be some sort of spurt to which this may be attributed, but truth to tell the peanut is a mighty food product and one that is valu able in more ways than almost any other oil or fat producing substance. A product of that type is bound to ultimately become universally val uable on a standardized basis, for thu world wants food and comes to ap preciate it in time. The peanut offers the solution to the problem of hun ger, today, just as some solution has been provided at critical times in all the past. Less than a century ago people were threatened with starvation, be cause the great problem of harvest ing grain-at that time wheat-had not been solved. But the reaper came and at the moment the world was saved. Hardly had that difficulty been surmounted when transportation problems perplexed economists and tradesmen. But then came the rail roads, and once again the danger of famine was defeated.. Less than half a century ago, the menace of hunger again overshadow ed civilization, and corn was brought into requisition. Corn in billions of bushels filled the void, and its use has been continued and expanded un til now we have corn flour, corn meal, corn starch, corn sugar, and such a diversity of other corn food and products, we wonder what further possibility it may hold. When corn began to fail to fill the requirements and needs of the peo ple, the cotton seed, previously a waste product, came upon the scene -cotton seed meal, cotton seed oil, cotton seed hulls-and the food store houses were lavishly filled with a bil lion dollars worth or more of goods. There came a time, just recently, when new and more extensive re quirement became evident and the peanut was developed as a commerv cial product, to fill the gap; and though we have been hearing of Vir ginia and NorthCarolina peanuts for many decades, Georgia or Alabama either, produces more peanuts than both the first-named states combined. However, in the face of the big gest oat crop, the biggest peanut crop, and the biggest potato crop on record, with a fair yield of cotton seed, the question of food is becom ing predominant, and people who study these problems are again be ginning to ask, "Where shall we turn for relief?" The world stands, a beggar at the door-on the threshold of civilization -naked and hungry, while the great problems of the ages offer the old challenge to those who would con quer them. And what shall be the answer to the question^ of centuries, concerning food and raiment? Is there any other answer than this?

APE EXPERT MONEY TESTER Said to Be Impossible to Fool Animals of Siam With , Any Counter feit Money. The people of Slam are very fond of keeping monkeys of various kinds as pe^s. Owing to their close associ ation with human beings, these crea tures become very intelligent. One of the most remarkable things that these monkeys can do is to test money. In Siam there is a large amount of counterfeit money, perhaps more than in any other country in the world. As a consequence, the lot of the merchant is a difficult one. They have, however, surmounted the trou ble to a large extent by making use of apes to test the coins. Sitting by the side of each merchant is to be seen a solemn-faced ape. Every piece of money handed to his master is at once given to the ape. The animal tests the coin with his teeth. If it is good, he throws it into the money box; if it be bad he flings it to the ground. The strange part about the busi ness is that no white person has yet been able to discover how the apes tell the good money from the bad. The merchants politely refuse to explain how the creatures are trained to carry out this useful office. The only sure thing about the ?ffair is that the apes never make a mistake. I _._ STATUES THAT HOLD SPIRITS Buddhists Firmly Believe That Souls of Long Departed Sanes Are Present in images. * Marco Polo, the celebrated Venetian traveler, with his two uncles, was the first European to travel in China. In the gilded statue erected to his memory in Soo-Chow, China, the Chinese be lieve his spirit still resides. Accord ing to Chinese superstition, a fly or spider is the means by which the spirits of the dead are coaxed back to earth to occupy their statues. Five hundred similar statues, life size, line the walls of a dimly lighted room in the Buddhist temple of that ancient city. They contain the spirits of the sages they represent, devout Buddhists believe. A spirit Is unable to enter a statue unless another and freshly liberated spirit ls there to receive it, say the priests. Through a door in the back of a new statue, therefore, a spider or fly is introduced. The door Is then sealed and the Insect ls left to smother. Its spirit, fluttering about inside the statue, is taken possession of by the soul of the long-departed sage. Marco Polo was brought back in this way,, the priests say. Worshipers burn In cense before the statue and seek com munion with the spirit of the allen who dwelt so long in China, and even ruled as governor of one of the provinces. Story of the High Heel. The high-heeled shoe was intro duced in the Middle ages, when both men and women took to it. Man, however, soon found that he , could not live a man's life and do a ' man's work while wearing high heels, and so resumed his low-heeled shoes, leaving high heels to the ladles, with whom they have always been popu lar. The modern high heel is, in its way, a triumph of art, being of wood, which 11 is lighter than leather and keeps Ita ' sfrape. The heel contains a spring, which adds to the grace of its wear er's walk. As the Instep is raised the figure is thrown slightly forward, and a pronounced elegance is the result. But It most be admitted the high heels, though improving the appearance, do not always Improve tht physique of, their wearers, and are frequently the cause of Ill-health. Famous Explorer. Louis Hennepin, a French Recollet ' friar, missionary and traveler In North ' America, was born at Ath, in Flanders," 1 about 1640. He embarked for Canada ] and arrived in Quebec In 1675. Be- | tween that period and 1682 he ex. plored the regions afterwards called Louisiana, and, returning to Europe, published an account of his researches. ] The geographical portions of his worki , are feeble, but they present much In terest as descriptions of the mannen of the aboriginal races which the au thor visited. He died in Utrecht about 1706. Chinese Have Fondness for Birds. 1 In addition to using birds and theil j nests as food, the Chinese keep birds as pets. Their fondness for birds li 1 one of the most pleasant features ol . their national character. Birds furnish ' them with much amusement. j Several kinds of bird pets are taughl , to catch seeds thrown Into the ali . after jumping from perches held la i the hand. Except In winter, one can always see people going into the opea country early In the morning with taelr pets, to catch grasshoppers ta fi?ed them, and to teach their pets new . songs. Balked at Wearing Old Costumes. At Princess Mary's costume ball no one could be found to represent th? fashion between 1880 and 1900, In th? fashion parade. They were so uglj that no one would wear them ! Crino lines were there, and other eccen trlcitles of fashion before and aftei that period, but that time of bustles foil and heavy trimmings, big sleeves and ridiculous hats were voted out al together; they were not even consld ered funny or quaint enough to b? given a place in the procession.-Lon don Times.
