All over the United States, and in other countries, the cotton fac tories are running on short cut time, while many mills have closed down entirely for sixty and ninety days and perhaps longer. These mills have millions of manufactur ed goods, unsold, on hand. This fact, alone, will encourage a re duction in price for cotton. These numerous tamiles, in mid summer, thrown out of employment with out means, will work untold hard ship on this class of people. Of course many of them can lind w ork on the farms during tho fall months, picking cotton, but just what will become of them dunno the summer is the important ques tion.

It does seem that women have more than a fair share of thc aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must "keep up" must attend to duties in sp'.to of constantly aching backs or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more su tiering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs ?V RGrice, Merkinson St., Benncttsvilio, S C., says: " I am very thankful for what Doans Kid ney Pills did for me and willingly recommend them. 1 was bothered fer a long time by dull, nagging backaches, the pains often extend ing into my loins. Headaches and dizzy spells occured frequently. I could not rest well at night and morning arose so tired and lang uid that I did not feel like commenc ing the day's duties. I was also bothered by a frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions from this I decided that my kidney were out of order. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, I had my husband procure a box for me at J.T Doug las drug store and I began taking them, following the directions closely. They gave me moro relief than any remedy 1 had previously taken not only stopping tho back aches but streng'honing my kidneys and restoring my lost energy." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
