When Your Back Hurts* And Your Strength and Energy la Below Par It may be cauaed by disorder of kid* ney function that permit* poisonous waste to aocumulate. For truly many people feel tired, weak and miserable when the kidneys fail to remove excess acids and other waste matter from the blood. You may suffer nagging backache, rheumatic pains, headaches, disainess, getting up nights, leg pains, swelling. Sometimes frequent and scanty urina tion with smarting and burning is an other sign that something is wrong with the kidnevs or bladder.

SOUND PROTECTION AT LOWEST COST. REAL ESTATE B. H. BOYD ' Clinton, S. C. . CALL Wyman Shealy For Prompt Plumbing and Heating Service 105 E. Ferguson St. But specific provisions of the act are in direct conflict and contradic tion. Shall a wife who leaves her work to go with her husband receive un employment benefits? Her unem ployment is not a social misfortune, but a social benefit. Why should she collect unemployment compensation? Well, the law allows it. But she must report weekly for work to the local unemployment office. Shall a drunken driver who was discharged because drunk on his truck receive benefit payments? He was violating a state law; and so would his employer violate the law if he let him drive. On the road he was a menace to every other vehicle or person. Shall such a menace to the common safety of all be paid benefits? Well, the law allows this and seems to require the payment. A man who leaves work of his own free will and accord in South Carolina, goes to Tennessee and works. After losing his job—or quit-! ting—-in Tennessee, he demands ben efit payments in South Carolina. The law allows that. What do you think of that. When a man who is eligible lor benefits from a previous job enters your service, even for a short time, and is discharged or quits, his bene fit payments, based on his other job, will be charged against your re serve; as you are the most' recent em ployer. 4 If we are going to operate under this law let’s make it a just and workable statute. The commission and the staff are earnestly trying to administer a law which has bad fea tures. But as long as the law re mains as it is they must administer it. We must seek amendment -through the legislature.

Last year a large number of Laurens county farmers failed to poison during the early dry weather. Later came rains and ev erybody knows the answer. We pro duced in Laurens county approxi mately 11,000 bales of cotton as com pared with approximately 35,000 bales in 1940. . ' Laurens county has prospects now for a good cotton crip. With the pres ent price of cotton we can not afford not to fight the boll weevils just as if they were Japs. If we don’t they are bound to destroy our cotton crop. The 1-1-1 sweet poison mixtyre applied in three applications five to seven days apart is recommended by the experiment station. Mix first one gallon of .water with one pound of calcium arsenate and then mix with one gallon of molasses, apply with mop to cotton beginning before the first squares form. Sour molasses will blister cotton leaves. Mix only enough material to be used the same day, as molasses mixed with water will sour over-nig{it Fanners should buy,their supply of molasses and calcium arsenate at once. If poison is not applied before weevils begin to puncture the squares, little results will be derived from sweet poison.
