FRENCH HONOR
V. M. C. A. EXECUTIVE
Dr. John P. Mott Is Made Chev
alier of Legion of Honor—Ex
tensive Work of “ Y ” Among
Foil us.
DR. JOHN R. MOTT
General Secretary of National
War Work Council, Y. M. C. A.,
Who Has Been Accorded High
Honors by French Government.
Asa mark of recognition and appre
ciation of the work done for the French
soldiers by the American Y. M. C. A.
forces abroad, the French government
has conferred the signal honor of
Chevalier of the Legion of Honor upon
General Secretary John R. Mott, of
the National War Work Council of
the Army and Navy Y. M. C. A.
Telegraphic advices from Washing
ton conveyed the news of the distinc
tion granted Dr. Mott, whose home is
in New York City. The telegram,
signed by Edouard deßilly, Deputy
High Commissioner, was as follows:
“‘I take pleasure in notifying you that
the French government has conferred
upon you the title of Chevalier de
la Legion d’Honneur. Please accept
my heartiest congratulations."
The National War Work Council,
■under Dr. Mott’s supervision, in addi
tion to its labors among the American
Expeditionary Forces, has maintained
more than 1,500 foyers du soldats, as
the Red Triangle hats are known by
the French poilu. Up to the month
of October, 1918, close to eight mil
lion dollars had been expended in “Y"
•work among the French and other al
lied soldiers served by the huts.
LET’S FIX A DEFINITE
DATE FOR DOING
THESE JOBS.
There are certain duties
which all of us "intend to do
sometime,” but too often keep
putting off; and it often hap
pens that a man lives out his
life intending to do these
things and yet “just never gets
to them.”
Below we print a list of
twelve such jobs, and we should
like for each reader to check
over the list, see how many he
lias already accomplished, and
then fix a definite date for get
ting to work on the.others. For
the writer in his own experi-
enoe has found —and wo suspect
others have also—that the only
job that gets done is the job you
have fixed a definite; time for
doing—never the one you just
“intend to do some time.”
Let's look over this list, there
fore, check the items that have
already had attention, and hold
a family council to decide on
definite dates for doing the oth
ers :
1. Let’s get a will made —and
remember the community in
making it.
2. Let's take out some life in
surance so that the wife and
children may be protected in
case the breadwinner of the
family should die —considering
also whether it may not be well
to have the insurance money
paid, at least in part, in month
ly installments.
8. If not now taking out life
insurance let’s have a physical
examination now and once a
year hereafter —so that any dis
ease may Ik* detected and cured
in the outset rather than al
lowed to run on until too late.
4. Lot’s take the short course
at the agricultural college —
something no farmer is too old
to do.
5. Let’s have a dentist put the
teeth of the whole family in or
der and have a competent phy
sician examine each child for
eye, nose and throat defects —
because a great measure of ru
ral ill health is due to neglect
at these points.
G. Let’s start a bank account
—because it means safety,
thrift, and anew sense of dig
nity.
7. Let’s take out some fire in
surance—because the average
farmer is not able to rebuild a
burned home without financial
ly cramping himself for years,
and insurance is just and equi
table co-operation, while get
ting subscriptions from neigh
bors is not.
8. Let’s provide enough rain
coats, overshoes, cloaks, and
boots or leggins for every mem
ber of the family—because they
cost less than doctors’ bills and
coffins.
9. Let’s start now to make
wood and water just as
convenient as possible for the
good wife —providing a wood
house to keep fuel dry, and if
we can’t provide; water works,
then at least a nearby well with
covered walkway to it.
10. Get some pure-bred poul
try now and resolve that every
animal born on the farm hence
forth shall have a pure-bred
sire—because this increases
pride and profits.
11. Build a good implement
shed and provide sanitary and

Six Tears Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Texas Lady, But Now
She Is a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardoi For
Her Recovery.

birth of my little girl.. .my side com
menced to hurt me. I had to go back
to bed. We called the doctor. He
treated me...but I got no better. I
got worse and worse until the misery
was unbearable ft. I was In bed for
three months and suffered such agony
that I was Just drawn up In a knot...
I told my husband If he would get
me a bottle of Cardul I would try 1t...
I commenced taking It, however, that
evening I called my family about
me... for I knew I could not last
many dan unless I had a change for 1
convenient privies—because ab
sence of these advertises the
farmer as careless of cash,
health and civilization.
12. Let’s make friends with
any neighbors with whom we
have been at outs —submitting
to arbitration rather than a
lawsuit any matters about
which we can't agree.—The

Life
Was a
Misery
Mrs. F. M. Jones, of
Palmer, Okla., writes:
"From the time I en
tered into womanhood
... I looked with dread
from one month to the
next. I suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
a misery, f would think
I 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 took four bottles,”
Mrs. 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 1 took Cardui,
and I am still in good
health. . . I 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
if you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up yourrun-down
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. Try Car
dui. It helped her. We
believe it will help you.

the better. That was six years ago
and I am still here and am a well,
strong woman, and I owe my life to
Cardul. I had only taken half the
bottle when I began to feel better.
The misery In my side got less... 1
continued right on taking the Cardul
until I had taken three bottles and I
did not need any more for I was well
and never felt better In my life... I
have never had any trouble from that
day to this.”
Do you suffer from headache, back
ache, pains In sides, or other discom
forts, each month? Or do you feel
weak, nervous and fagged-out? If so,
give Cardul, the woman’s tonic, a

PUKE WANNAMAKER CLEVELAND COTTON SEED.
Best cotton on earth today. This statement is substantiated
by its record at the various experiment stations, where it lias
been first more than all others put together. At Georgia sta
tum it beat Half and Half $21.00 per acre; Covington-Toolo
$-40.00; King $71.00, and Simpkins $82.00 per acre, ii costs no
more to plant, fertilize and cultivate one than ii does tin* other
—only difference is in the seed, and the picking, and this cot
ton is easy to pick.
Our seed are grown on our own farms here in Jackson and
Barrow Counties, ginned on our own gin, handled with great
care, and kept pure. They are as good as can be bad. Price
$2.50 per bushel.

The Economy of
Buying Good Tires
It's mighty poor economy to put cheap
tires on your car.
If you can’t depend on your tires, you
can't depend on your car,
—and you can't get the high grade of
service it ought to give you.
It pays to buy good tires—United States
Tires.
They represent the highest value it is
possible to build into tires.
There are five different passenger car
treads—the only complete line built by
any tire manufacturer.
Each has the built-in strength that means
your money back in extra miles.
Among them are exactly the tires you
want for your car, and your driving con
ditions.
