Sign all your before it takes effect Forsyth county farmers are doing some mighty hard work right now, preparing for a good crop. Canned goods have advanc ed in price 50 per cent since the beginnig of the war, and is ad vancing higher every day. Flour three dollars and some thing a sack, and still going up. What will the average country newspaper editor do for bread Raise plenty of food stuff this year. The time has come when we will have to raise it or do without it. Too high to buy. Plant corn, raise your meat, and tell the high cost of living, to go to thunder or some other winter resort. It will pay the farmers of Forsyth county to co-operate with the farm demonstrator, and let him help you when you need help.

Fifty thousand citizens of Brazil are crying for war with Ger : n . '• It is now thought that all nations, not now in war will break peace terms with Germany. From Newspaper reports it would seem that it will not be long until Germany is whipped. We trust this will happen be fore any good American wo man loses her boy on the battle- Jeids.

There is only cue way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused b> an inllamed condi tion of tlie mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearifcg, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing: will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothin? but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces.
