Squirrel Dog a Freak.
The “squirrel dog” is one of tbe un
explained and unexplainable freaks of
tbe animal world. Nobody knows why
he is. A good “squirrel dog” is always
in great demand in a small country
town that happens to have consider
able tracts of timber hearby. Usual
ly there are not more than two or
three really good ones in a town, and
they are normally dated up several
weeks in advance.
Tbe Return.
A young recruit was on sentry near
s home depot one dark night when he
observed a shadowy form approaching.
He tinmediaioly gave the challenge.
“Halt! Who goes there.” Out of
the darkness eame the hoarse whisper
of one of his comrades, “Shut up! J
ain't going; I'm coming back!”
Rheumatism Arrested
If you suffer with lame muscles or
stiffened joints look out for impuri
ties in the blood, because each at
tack gets more acute and stubborn.
To arrest rheumatism you must
improve your general health and
purify your blood; the cod liver oil
in Scott’s Emulsion is Nature’s
great blood-maker whale it also
strengthens the organs to expel the
impurities. Scott’s is helping thous
ands who could not find other relief.

Functions Of the
Food Administration
(By Herbert Hoover. 1
To so guide the irade in the fun
damental food commodifies as to elim
inate vicious speculation, extortion
and wasteful practices and to stabilize
prices in the essential staples.
To guard our exports so that against
the world’s shortage, we retaip suf
ficient supplies for our own people
and to co-operate with the Allies to
prevent inflation of prices.
To stimulate in every manner with
in our power the production and sav
ing of our food in order that we may
increase exports to the Allies to a
point which will enable them to prop
erly provision their armies and io feed
their peoples.
We ll substitute corn for wheat and
victory for defeat.
FOOD FACTS
The demand for beef for the army,
the allies and their civilian population
for this summer is beyond our present
supply and as a consequence tbe food
administration is asking that the con
sumption of beef of all kinds be great
ly reduced for tbe time being. On the
other h«nd we have increased our
supply of pork and an economical ex
pansion »f tbe use of tbis product is
advisable at this time. Milk, cream
and butte: are now abundant and rep
resent oc many farms ' perishables”
not marketed. These products with
cheese may well be used to make up
for the siortage of beef and supply
the necessary protein and fat to bal
ance the diet of fresh vegetables.
Every meal in the rural communi
ties and the city communities as well,
where they bave followed to the food
administration recommendation to
plant a garden, should now be a gar
den parly. The use of tbe home
grown garden and orchard products
now will release immense amounts of
the more concenira'ed and staple
foods for the .Allies and soldiers and
for the people living in industrial cen
ters where gardens are Impossible.
It is not patriotic to use canned goods
at this time when fresh products are
available. Immense stocks of com
mercisl canned goods must be reserv
ed for >be army and navy and every
home can help to build up this sur
Pius by eaiing fres-k foods and can
jning all they need for themselves.

WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer Terribly With Corns Be
cause of High Heels, But Why
Suffer Now.
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
from any drug store a quarter of
an ounce 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.
Tell yourwife about this.

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like 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 feeliDg great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist says if
you don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone
acts better than horrible calomel
youv money is waiting for you.

last twenty years, many millions of
dollars.
The Georgia State Board of Ento
mology was established in 1898 with
an initial appropriation of only $2,500.
It had then only a state entomologist
and a stenographer. Today it has grown
into a splendidly efficient organization
of fifteen, including state entomolo
gist, assistant, experts, station super
intendents, stenographers and others,
and handles annually a slate appro
priation of $60,(00.
Generally speaking the work of the
state board may be classified as in
spection work, enforcement of quar
antine regulations, investigations look
ing to the control of injurious plant
insects, and experiments for the con
trol of plant diseases.
To Save Food Crops
The particular purpose of this ar
ticle is to call the attention of farm
ers and fruit growers to the service
the state board cf entomology renders,
so that there may be a wider applica
tion of it right now to prevent the de
struction by insects and diseases of
food and fruit crops so badly needed
by Georgia and the country.
The inspection work includes in
spection of the 115 nurseries in the
state, as well as foreign shipments
into Georgia, to prevent the dissemi
nation of Injurious insects and plant
diseases. In addition, many peach and
apple orchards, private grounds in city
and country, truck farms and cotton
fields are inspected at the request of
owners, and directions given regard
ing the control of any plant diseases
or insects discovered in them.
Quarantine regulations which are
enforced by the board relate to the
boll weevil and cotton products from
County Tests.
A special effort is being made by
tbe Board of Entomology in many
counties to develop and breed up
strains of coiton that can be grown
successfully under boll weevil and wilt
conditions in Georgia. In each of
these counties one or two cotton grow
ers provide from five to ten acres
which are planted in seed furnished
by the department. From these cot
ton tests it is being ascertained what
varieties are best adapted to each
county, and a party is secured. $vho,
In a few years, will become a source
of seed supply from whom others in
that community may purchase seed of
a variety adapted to iheir soil and cli
mate.
In this connection attention may be
called to the fact that the Depart
ment of Entomology is giving special
directions, whenever called for, with
regard to growing cotton under bolt
weevil conditions. These count*
tests are being conducted under the
direction of Messrs. Lewis. Williams
and McLendon in 330 counties. The
department has adopted this plan of
distributing seed, instead of sending
out seed in busbe! lots as heretofore.
Dusting for Boll Weevil
In addition to the work on differ
ent insects as already outlined, the
board of entomology is conducting this
season extensive experiments on dust
ing with arsenate of lead and other
materials for the control of the boll
weevil. This work is being done to
determine if it is possible to develop
a more thorough, efficient and cheaper
method of controlling the boll weevil
than that now usually recommended.
Assistant Entomologist W. V. Reed,
engaged particularly in the work on
garden truck, Is in charge of spraying
experiments at Griffin, for the con
trol of tbe Mosaic disease of pimento
