Be Strong
Strength of body, strength of nerves, strength of mind,
depend very largely on whether you have enough iron in
your blood. The world makes way for the strong people
and they generally get what they want, out of life. Pale,
weak, sickly, nervous, peevish, thin, dyspeptic individuals,
need iron to build them up.
ZIRON
IRON TONIC
will put iron into, your blood and help restore your health
and strength. Eminent physicians agree as to the vital
need of iron by the run-down system. ZIRON will give
it to you.
J. E. Clifton, R. F. D. 3, Lyons, Ga., writes: “Last
summer 1 had typhoid fever and had hemorrhages . . »
and my health was wretched. I seemed to be unable to
get my strength back. 1 had no appetite. 1 had no energy.
I didn’t think 1 was ever going to get well. My knees
were weak, my flesh felt clammy. 1 was in a pretty bad
condition. 1 heard of ZIRON and what a good tonic and
strengthener it was and 1 sent for it at once. It helped
me, I began to improve, and soon felt much better and
stronger. My nerves were strengthened and I felt like
doing something. We have nothing but words of praise
for ZIRON”. Try ZIRON.

TIMELY FOOD INFORMATION
Prepared By The Federal Food A dministration For Georgia
Important Points By
Congressman Overmyer
Congressman A. W. Overmyer spoke
in the House on the Food Administra
tion a tew days ago and got so many
important points into such small space
that he was apparently illustrating
conservation graphically in bis use of
words. He said: ,
"What the United States Food Ad
ministration has been seeking to do
and has done under the food-control
legislation is .the regulation of the
world’s food supply so that America
end her allies in the war may be fed
at as reasonable prices as it is possi
ble to obtain. Reasonable prices are
not necessarily low prices. They are
the best that can be obtained under
all conditions of the situation. And
whatever may be said about the Food
Administration operating under au
thority we have granted them, no one
Is heard to complain that our armies
here and in France and Italy are not
being well fed. and that is almighty
Important. Nothing else matters
much at this moment. If they are fed
they will hold out until we can get
more men and airships and cannon
and ammunition to them. What if
our civil population is called upon
to forego and sacrifice and practice
self-denial, so long as our armies and
allied armies are fed? And they are
being fed or you would hear of it,
1 assure you.”
Win War With Potatoes
The Department of Agriculture
authorizes the following:
The enemy is out-eating us in
potatoes—out-potatoing us. Here
are the figures—per capita weekly
consumption:
Quarts
United Stales 2 3
Austria-Hungary 8
Germany 16
We can beat them at their own
food—which really isn't theirs: it’s
a native American crop. We must
eat more potatoes, and thal right
soon, or much of our record crop
of last year will be wasted. Pota
toes are plentiful and getting
cheaper. Eat them instead of
bread. Fight the enemy with po
tatoes.
Each ounce that you take
Has a life at stake
And is helping to lose us the war.
Think once and think twice
Ere you cut a new slice,
And show honor and pluck and good
sense.
Bread is blood—bread is guns—
Bread’s our fort ’gainst the Huns:
wrt destroy the last line of defence!
Save Wheat
Wheat saving is America’s most
vital food problem.
The United States Food Admin
istration, in view of the critical
wheat shortage, asks every citizen
to observe the following amended
rules.
Make every day and every meal
a "wheatless” meal. Bat no food
of any kind containing wheat or
Wheat products unless absolutely
necessary for health.
Substitute fresh and cured meats
of all kinds, potatoes, fresh vege
tables, fruits, dairy products and
qjher cereals, such as corn and
rice.
The “meatless” and “porkless”
days have been suspended. There
are now no restrictions on the con
sumption of any particular foods
except wheat. The government
urges, however, that no food of any
kind be wasted.
Without sufficient wheat to feed
our armies and those of the allies,
we cannot hope for victory.
Opinion A-56—Fresh Eggs
In Opinion A-56, dealing with re
sales of fresh eggs, the following ap
pears:
’in no case shall a dealer sell fresh
eggs to any dealer in a class further
removed from the consumer than the
class in which the seller is included;
for example, a jobber shall not sell to
a wholesaler, or a retailer to a whole
saler.”
A retail merchant in the country
who buys eggs from a farmer or takes
eggs in trade, is not to be considered
a retailer of eggs. He occupies a po
sition more like that of an original
packer or shipper, and he may sell
to anyone he pleases.
POTATO RECIPES
Lyonnaise Potatoes
Cook 6 minutes 3 tablespoons fat
with one small onion, cut in thin
slices: add 3 cold boiled potatoes, cut
in one-fourth inch slices and sprinkled
with salt and pepper; stir until well
mixed with onion and fat; let stand
until potato is brown underneath, fold
like an omelet and turn on a hot plat
ter.
Baked Potatoes
Select smooth, medium sized pota
toes. Scrub with a small vegetable
brush and bake in a hot oven for about
forty minutes or until soft. Remove
from the oven, break the skin slightly
in order that the steam can escape and
serve as quickly as possible.

SURVEY BEING
MADE OVER GEORGIA
Health
High School Students Are Help- j
ing To Make Canvass.
A complete survey of labor condi
tions in Georgia will be made on
March 28, 23 and 30 with the help
of high school students, teachers and
county superintendents, and this data
will be collected by Mr. J. E. Boden-
hamer of Atlanta, Farm Help Special
ist for the state, to be transmitted to
the proper authorities in Washington.
Labor conditions in some sections
of Georgia are acute and every ef
fort is being made to conserve the
productive agricultural labor of the
state, which is vitally important in
the raising of greater food crops.
School boys will not only help make
.his canvass as to labor conditions,
but they are rapidly joining the Unit
ed States Boys’ Working Reserve,
thereby volunteering to asist those
farmers who are needing labor to cul
tivate their lands. Mr. J. K. Giles of
the State College of Agriculture is
leading this movement. .
Investigation has shown that many
servants in homes of the people
towns and cities could be disposed of
by properly adjusting home affairs.
Many cases have been cited where
there are two people in the family and
from three to four servants.
Merchants and business men in
some of the smaller cities and towns
are planning to release a part or all
of their force for two afternoons in
the week in order that war gardens
and liberty acres may be cultivated in
food crops.
Georgia is waking up to the serious
ness of the labor situation and the
labor survey that is being made by
Mr. Bodenharcsr should result in more
available productive agricultural labor
and in its better distribution. Dr. An
drew M. Soule of the College of Agri
culture is directing all the forces of the
institution to help not only in the
present labor survey, but in all move
ments of this kind.—Editor of State
College of Agriculture.

IMMUNIZE THE ENTIRE
HERD ADVISES EXPERT
Where Hog Cholera Is Prevalent
From Year To Year.
“Where hog cholera is prevalent
from year to year the immunization
3f the entire herd and succeeding In
creases to the herd should be prac
ticed,’’ says Dr. C. A. Pyle, field vet
erinarian for the State College of Ag
riculture. Hogs are rendered immune
to cholera and free from its attacks
only when they have been treated
with virus, but it can only be applied
by qualified veterinarians.
This is the least expensive method
when used on young hogs. Pure bred |
herds should have this treatment and ;
owners of such herds who find dif- \
ficulty in getting this done should ap-:
ply to the State Veterinarian.
Says Dr. Pyle: “In many cases it I
is only desirable to use serum to con- j
trol outbreaks. Men are usually avail-1
able to apply this method. Care should
be taken to give sufficient dosage and
in sick bogs temperatures of all hogs
should be taken. It is generally a
waste of serum to use it on very sick
hogs or on those that have been sick
for a long time.
“In using this method on sick hogs
the regulations of the State Veterina
rian require that the hogs be confined
under the owner’s surveillance. Hap
pily, this operates to give what is call
ed a ‘Pen Exposure;’ the treated hogs
pick the organisms of the disease from
the sick and with the serum given,
tend to be vaccinaled or immunized.
This is to be desired, since serum
alone has only a temporary effect to
ward protection against the disease.
“In all cases of outbreaks consist
ent efforts to clean up should be em
ployed. Dead hogs and bedding
should be BURNED. Manure in the
hog houses, barn yards and stables
should be spread on the fields. Sur
face water should be drained out of
the lots and disinfectants liberally ap
plied to the Boors, walls and runways
of the stables and hog houses.”
Many thousands of
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,,
of Hayne, N. C. “I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”"
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. had us
get Cardui, . » I began
improving, and it cured
me. I know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health were
about gone.”
TAKE
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: ,r l
am in splendid health ...
can do my work. I feel 1
owe it to Cardui, for I was
in dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine ior the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what itmeans
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Give
Cardui a trial.

Share Your Pleasures.
It has been said that happiness
which has not been shared has no
taste. If the pleasant things which
come to you, somehow seem to have
no taste. If they seem rather flavor
less, perhaps this is the explanation.
Put gladness into another's life, divide
up the pleasures you have heen selfish
ly enjoying, so that it will help two or
three, and your happiness will have
plenty of flavor.

When you feel bilious, sluggish, con

lieve you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your drug
gist sells for a few cents a large bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone, which is entirely
vegetable and pleasant to take and is
perfect substitute for calomel. It is
guaranteed to start your liver without
stirring you up inside, and cannot sali

Don’t take calomel! It makes you

Give it to the children because it is per

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
only one way to cure catarrhal 4eafne«».
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
Ihe Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tune
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur

From tbe official reports and dis

heavy fighting may be resumed at any
time. The fact that heavy rains are
falling may have a great deal to do
with the delay in the German drive,
but the allies hold high ground from
which they can observe the German

artillery fire in sectors where tbe Ger

been at work in bringing up guns for

LAST ON DRAFT LIST
Senate And House Conferees So De
cide Despite Protest Of
General Crowder
Washington.—An agreement on the
bill extending the selective draft law
to youths--attaining 21 years of age
since June 5, 1917, was reached by the
senate and house conferees. They re
tained the amendment of Representa
tive Hull of Iowa, providing that the
additional registrants shall be placed
at the bottom of present eligible lists.
The house conferees accepted the
senate provision for exemption from
the draft law of theological and medi
cal students.
Immediate ratification by the senate
and bouse of the conferees agreement
on the measure wilt be sought, that
ihere may be no further delay in its
use in connection with the new draft.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
opposed the amendment placing the
oew registrants at the bottom of eligi
ble lists.
The conferees also adopted an
amendment which General Crowder
also opposed, requiring registration of
men already in the military service
who have attained their majority since
last June 5. General Crowder thinks
this would be unnecessary, costly

bill prohibiting Americans from return

consuls at Vladivostok be recalled
have brouhgt no official statement
