WEAK,NERVOUS Mr. Enoch Moore, of Oconee, S. C., tells how Ziron helped him: “I was nervous, and my limbs seemed to ache as though 1 was scared—or some such feeling, I can hardly describe it. I would have weak '‘trembles.” I was sallow, had a draggy, worn feeling; didn’t rest well at night. I read of Ziron and thought if it had helped others it might do the same for me. 1 knew I could at least try it. I began using COKER GIVES COST OF MAKING COTTON ^ (CONTINUED FROM IST ^PAGE) plunged into the hell of abject poverty they are naturally bitter and discour aged..- ¥ • *—— ~ The o^ly remedy for the_ present situation upon which all deem to be agreed is acreage reduction. Most cotton sections know no money crop 11 eycepL Cotton. How can the land- owner or tenant figure to keep body and soul fogether*on a greatly re duced acreage of cotton even if the -5P preaeiit price is doubled? Yet they *<*♦ must someftSw do this if better prices are to be*hoped for. What the South needs is a steady price for cotton which will allow a fair return to the landowner and de cent wages to the tenant. ’At the preseijt costs of the commodities they must buy for crop making purposes, 30 cents is, we believe, the lo price which the industry , should con? bider. Thirty cents will not-pay: the landowner dr tenant on Jthe very re stricted acreage that must be planted this year. It will give the tenant fariper producing a bale to the acre on ten acres only a little over $1?50 per day for the support of his family or about half of this if~he'"makes a normal yield of one-half bale per acre. A few weeks ago the writer was talking'With a banker from West Vir ginia who told him that he hafj just O K’d a payroll for a small coal mine and that the average daily paty of the laborers was over $17.40 per day, re marking that these labojers were working six hours per day but that they were only employed 60 per cent, of their time on account of car short age. I have other evidence to show, that the coal miners are receiving at least ten times as much as the-cotton laborers, who are also paid far -less The Scientific Iron Tonic .. ... - -w .. age ■ p*J and very shortly I felt better, ate and slept more, and the weak, nervous feeling gradually left me. It was a tonic—a builder—I needed, and Ziron seemed to hit the spot.” If Mr. Moore had not been benefited by the first bottle of>Zlron he took, he could have gotten his money back, for Ziron is sold\>y reliable druggists everywhere on a money-back guarantee. Insist upon Ziron Iron Tonic. When you need Ziron, there’s noth ing else as good, so refuse imitations and substitutes. Ask your druggist for Ziron.

This is not enough, how T ever, The whole country is affected by the condition of every section. If the South _ is stricken with poverty! its laborers will flock to the cities pf the North and West and intensify their race and la bor problems.
