This county has lost much farm
labor in the past year or two. So
has the next county, and the next
State. The condition is Nation-wide.
What Can be Done About it?
There is no law to conscript labor;
the Government can’t create it; ship
building and other war ii.dusrries
must be speeded to the limit.
Shall the cr :t\z\ tail to pro Jure he:
share of food? Must the to* i s,;/e;
in business b/ the loss of fa.m pros
perity at a time when farm products,
are so high?
Under similar conditions what have
other communities done?
la many plat-s all business houses
h-'■ e closed for a few days at a time
in erder that eery town per-on fitted
for such work might go to farms in
tlie county to help cultivate or har
vest the crops.
I'Uiy Chami e.rs of Commerce ha e
canvassed their towns and counties,
listing all men of farm experience,
scuring their promise to go when
needed and pledging their employers
to give them leaves of absence for
that patriotic work.
Many communities and counties are
requiring every loafer and idler to go
to work; urging every person engag
ed in work that is not of war impor
tance to work on near-by farms dur
ing rush seasons; organizing high
school boys; abandoning the half Sat
urday holiday on the farm.
County Agents in a number of
places have called mass meetings; re
sulting in a “county war council,” as
it were, composed of leading farmers
and business men, organized to secure
and utilide emergency town labor far
the farms.
Some of these methods,.or similar
ones, can be applied in every town and
countv.

Here Is an art aphorism from Jean
Francois Millet: "I have been re
proached for not observing detail; 1
see it, but X prefer to construct the
synthesis which as an artistic effort Is
higher and more robust. You reproach
me with insensibility to charm; why, 1
open your eyes to that which yon do
not perceive, but which is none the less
real—the dramatic.”

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like a Dynamite on a
Sluggish Liver and You
Lose a Day’s Work.
There’s no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating
calomel when a few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone—a
perfect substitute for calomel.
It is pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson’s Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don’t lose a
day’s work. Take a spoonful of Dod
son’s Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coaled tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist says if
you don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone
acts better than horrible calomel
your money is waiting for you. ,
Mrs. F. M. Jones, of
Palmer, Okla., writes:
"From the time 1 en
tered into womanhood
... 1 looked with dread
from one month to the
next. 1 suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
a misery. I would think
1 could not endure the
pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. . .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, . . .
1 decided to
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
“ I lock four bottles,”
Airs. Jones goes on to
say, "and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that I have
not a pain. . .
“ It has now been two
years since l tookCardui,
and 1 am still in good
health. . . 1 would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardui who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble.”
If you suffer pain caused
from womanly trouble, or
it you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up y ourrun-do wn
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. Try Car
dui. Jt helped her. We
believe it will help you.

IS IT BROAD, WHITE, FLABBY?
—YOUR BLOOD NEEDS ZIRON!
When Your Tongue Is White and Flabby, It Is a Sign
That You Are Anemic and That Your Blood
Needs Ziron Iron Tonic, For the Benefit
of Your Weakened System.
Look at your tongue in the mirror!
It ought to be pointed, pink, clean and firm.
If it is broad, white, coated, flabby, it is probably a sign that you are
anemic, that your blood lacks red corpuscles, that you are not in good health,
that your system needs iron to bring it np to proper condition.
When your hloo-1 needs iron, take Ziron, the new Iron Tonic, which con
tains also the hypophosphites of lime and soda and other valuable tonic ingre
dients prescribed by the best physicians for this form of trouble.
When you feel tired and miserable, lack ambition, suffer from indigestion,
rheumatic pains, gastric catarrh, depression of spirits and a general feeling
of being “under the weather”, why not try Ziron to help you hack to health?
Ziron, the new compound of Tron, contains' no habit-forming drugs. It is
a safe, reliable tonic remedy—good for men, women and children.
Mr. R. L. Poston, of Lillie, La., writes: “Some weeks ago I was suffering
with something like dumb chills. I just ached all over, my skin would feel
clammy. I ached worse from my knees down. I didn't rest well nights,‘and
my appetite wasn’t good. I was afraid I would get down in bed and so much
to do in the Spring of the year. I began to look around for something
to help me and decided to try Ziron...I had not taken one third of a bottle
until I felt much better. I grew stronger, began to gat hungry and did not
have any more of the chills. I think Ziron is a splendid tonic.”
SPECIAL OFFER: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggist's
and give it a fair trial, according to directions on the bottle. If, after using
up one bottle, you find it has not benefited you, take the empty bottle back
to the druggist and he will refund what you paid him for it We repay him.
so there is no reason why he should not repay you. This offer only applies
io the first trial bottle.

WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer Terribly With Corns Be
cause of High Heels, But Why
Suffer Now.
Sister Classified.
Little Willie’s father was teaching
him about plants and said, “A weed
Is a thing that grows in a place where
it is not wanted.” “Well,” replied lit
tle Willie, “then sister is a weed,
cause she’s growing here and I don’t
want her, for she takes all njj pen-
aies.”
Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suf
fer terribly with corns. Women
then proceed to trim these pests,
seeking relief, but they hardly
realize the terrible danger from in
fection, says the Cincinnati au
thority.
Corns can easily be lifted out
with the fingers if you will get
front any drug store a quarter of
anourice of a drug called freezone.
This is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from
one’s feet. You simply apply a
few drops directly upon the ten
der, aching corn or callus. The
soreness is relieved at once and
soon the entire corn or callus, root
and all, lifts out without one par
ticle of pain.
This freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries in a moment.
It just shrivels up the corn with
out inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin.

Almost Incredible Thinness.
Ordinary printing paper is some
thing more than 1,000 times thicker
than the gold leaf that can be made
today. For commercial purposes the
leaf must, of course, have just a little
more substance about it than that, but
it is a striking and impressive fact
that only about five grains of weight
of gold is required to make up the
books that are in ordinary use today
by gilders, each of the 25 leaves in
that book being usually 3!4. inches
square.
Lemon Juice Is
Freckle Remover
Girls! Make this Cheap Beauty Lotion
to Clear and Whiten Your Skin.
Squeeze the juice of two lemons into
a bottle containing three ounces of or
chard white, shake well, and you have
a quarter pint of the best freckle and
tan lotion, and complexion beautifier,
at very, very small cost.
Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will supply
three ounces of orchard white for a few
cents. Massage this sweetly fragrant
lotion into the face, neck, arms and
hands each day and see how freckles
and blemishes disappear and how clear,
soft and white the skin becomes. Yes!
It is harmless.

held at Hartford, Conn.. December 15,

proceedings were carried on in secret,
thereby giving color to the charge that
some of them were treasonable and
because it adopted resolutions protest
