By the time my shaving water was heated, the stiffness had completely gone.” Sloan's Liniment gets these amaz ing results not by just deadening the nerves but by really helping the body to throw off the cause of the pain. It pends an increased flow of healing, revitalizing blood right to the affected spot, driving out poisons, relaxing tight muscles, restoring healthy mus cle-tone.

Department of Agriculture. Keep Trim! in Washington.—New uses for cotton are being sought by the United States Department of Agricultur® in the be lief that a partial solution of the cot ton surplus problem may be found in this direction. Prominent among the suggested additional outlets for cot ton are its substitution for imported jute and burlap in cotton bale cover ings and in bagging, wrappers and cordage, the use of cotton instead of paper bags for groceries and feeds, and the creation of an increased de mand for cotton in clothing through the development of appropriate styles j and the mnaufacture of cotton cloth ; suited to various climates. These measures, says the depart ment, are all practical to some ex tent. although they would involve in many cases the displacement of other materials. This would necessitate certain readjustments, of course, and for that reason the full extent to which substituting could go is a ques tion which cannot be answered in ad vance. From .the standpoint of the cotton growers, however, the depart ment considers the effort well worth while, although it recognizes that the problem can not be solved in a day. Probably jthe greatest single oppor tunity to widen the market for cotton lies in the substitution of cotton for Good Elimination Is Essential to Good Health?/ fTpHB kidneys arc the blood filters. X If they fail to function properly there is apt to be a retention of toxic poisons in the blood. A dull, languid feeling and, sometimes, toxic back aches, headaches, and dizziness are symptoms of this condition. Further evidence of improper kidney func tion is often found in burning or scanty passage of secretions. Each year more and more people are learn ing the value of Doan’s Pills, a stimulant diuretic, in this condition. Scarcely a nook or hamlet anywhere but has many enthusiastic users. Ask your neighbor!

This country im ports annually, chiefly from India, more th*an 75,000 tons of jute and more than 900,000,000 yards of cloth. It would make a big dent in the cotton surplus to replace say half of these imports with American cotton. More over, some of the manufacturing prob lems incident to fabricating cotton coverings for cotton bales and pro cessing them against decay have ap parently been solved, and with cotton and jute at their present relative pric es the cotton wrapper is cheaper. Whether cotton wrappers would re main cheaper if cotton were largely substituted is of course, a question, though if the farmer were in position to substitute cotton for jute or vice versa, depending upon which were cheaper, he would, of course, be in position to profit in either case. How ever, students of the problem have pointed out that while American sup plies of jute and jute products are imported and while prices have ad vanced materially in recent years, pro duction of the raw material has not increased in proportion. Moreover, the takings of jute in other countries have progressively increased. The de partment believes that an additional demand for cotton to replace jute may be developed. Similar considerations apply to oth er proposed substitutions cotton for wrapping materials. The substitu tion, in many cases, is feasible and clearly desirable. It would give rise, however, to an acute competitive sit uation, and this is a feature of the matter that should be recognized. Op portunities for using cotton bags for salt, rice, beans, meal, corn and cot tonseed, feeds, cement, sugar, coffee and many other commodities are be ing studied. Many manufacturers de siring to help the cotton farmers are urging their customers to specify cot ton bags when placing orders. Ad vertising to acquaint housewives with the possible uses of cotton wrappers, and to suggest means of reclaiming and reusing them in industry, is pro posed. It is worth something to get a good cotton bag. But if the advan tage is not appreciated, manufacturers using a cheaper wrapper may get the business. Increased use of cotton for clothing could be encouraged, the department believes, by co-operation amonk wo men’s organizations, and distributors of clothing. The art* of the textile designer and of the clothing designer may be enlisted in an effort to bring out fabrics and garments of greater attractiveness. Style arbiters in this country, it is believed, could be of great assistance. This could be done more easily in the case of cotton than with other fabrics since the source of the raw material is domestic and the American summer climate affords a strong inducement to use cotton as a clothing material for both sexes. Scientific studies of finishing and laundering would also help. In this j field, according to the department, there is an attractive opportunity for American enterprise in discovering and popularizing newer and better uses for cotton in clothing. While in the main, the task of (lis- covering new outlets for cotton is somewhat beyond the power of the in dividual farmer, the problem is never theless primarily his problem. Man ufacturing and consuming interests will of course, be quick to assist What appears to interest the Pres ident just now is internal improve ment, projects for canals from the farms and facilities to the sea, and development .of unused waters for power and irrigation, in particular de velopment of the Colorado river. President Coolidge speaks just so fast, and no faster. He knows every word that he is going to say before he says it. Words do not come out and surprise him, as happens with others. You can’t hurry him, or choose his subject for him. And as for holding him back, when he means to go in a certain direction, why, to “draw up the Leviathan with a hook” would be child’s play, compared with it. Chinese mobs are looting Christian churches. Too bad, and it fills us with horror. Americans, British, French and other travelers brought home all sorts of loot from Chinese temples af ter the Boxer uprising. But that was different, the Chinese are only heath ens. The books of the County Treasurer will be open for the collection of Tax es for the fiscal year, 1936, at the Treasurer’s office from ^October 15th to December 81, 1926.

Too much, even of mice, is too much. each of the other’s problems, is an ef- i fective way to bring relief to the cot ton grower. Substitution of one material for another involves physical as well as economic factors. Cotton in the form of wrappings competes with jute, sisal, hemp, hennequin, jucca, and other ma terial. To make cotton a substitute for them it is necessary to have cot ton fabrics of suitable weave. Pro cessing to increase durability is doubt less necessary in some instances. Question as to the adaptability of the substitute and its availability for gen eral and emergency use must be sol ved.

However, farmers are not without some means of self-help. They have a permanent interest in widen ing the demand for cotton by produc ing the grades and staples required by the market, and by co-operating with other groups in discovering new uses for cotton. Modem specializa tion has separated the farmer from the cotton spinner and from the ulti mate consumer. To bridge the gap, says the department, by securing in formation which will bring about an' understanding an dappreciation by this work the department has offered its assistance, and has begun studies.
