6IIILS DRAW A MOIST
CLOTH THROUGH HAIR,
DOUBLE ITS BEAUTY
Try this! Hair gets thick,
glossy, wavy and beauti
ful at once
Immediate?—yes! Certain?—
that’s the joy of it. Your hair
becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abun
dant and appears as soft, lus
trous and beautiful as a young
girl’s after a Danderine hair
cleanse. Just try this—moisten
a cloth with a little Danderine
and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand
at a time. This will cleanse the
hair of dust, dirt or excessive oil,
and in just a few moments you
have doubled the beauty of your
hair. A delightful surprise awaits
those whose hair has been neg
lected or is scraggy, faded, dry,
brittle or thin. Besides beauti
fying the hair, Danderine dis
solves every particle of dandruff;
cleanses, purifiies and invigorates
the scalp, forever stopping itch
ing and falling hair, but what
will please you most will be after
a few week’s use, when you see
new hair—fine and downy at first
—yes—but really new hair grow
ing all over the scalp. If you
care for pretty, soft hair, and
lots of it surely get a 25-cent bot
tle of Knowlton’s Danderine from
any drug store or toilet counter
and just try it. adv

terest in the announcement of

last year of his fourth term and
during the sixteen years that he
has held the office he has discharg
ed every duty to the satisfaction
of his constituents. All records
are neatly and correctly kept and
the affairs of this important of
fice are handled in a straightfor
ward manner. Besides being a
most capable official Judge Ham

counts his friends by the hun

the best liked men who has ever
held that office in Butts county
and it will be a delight for his
friends to support his candidacy.
It is not thought Judge Ham
will have opposition this year.

After Lagrippe—What
F. G. Prevo, Bedford, Ind., writes:
“An attack of lagrippe left me with a
severe cough. I tried everything. I got
so thin it looked as if I never would get
well. Finally, two bottles of Foley's
Honey and Tar cured me. 1 am now
well and back to my normal weight.”

Fincher-Hodges

OLDER BUT STRONGER
To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat- \
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of Scott’s Emulsion whichisa
food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott’s,

Forest Leaves Provide
Fertilizing Material
J. B. Berry, Professor Of Forestry,
Georgia College Of Agriculture.
Many thousand of pounds of valua
ble fertilizer are 'destroyed each year
in Georgia, which, if properly treated,
would rival barnyard manure. Large
quantities of leaves are burned with
out any thought of their fertilizing
value. In all parts of Europe the farm
ers eagerly gather the leaves from
the forest, along the roads and from
the fields, often paying for the privi
lege. Leaves thus gathered are com-
posted usually near where they are
gathered. After a year or two the
composted material is hauled to the
barnyard and mixed with the barn
yard manure as a part of the compost
there.
Asa ruie leaves decompose much
more rapidly than the crude fiber of
many agricultural crops, and contain
larger quantitltes of nitrogen and pot
ash. The leaves may be raked to
gether after a rain into piles and over
them a layer of soil sufficiently thick
to hasten decomposition, may be plac
ed. Quick lime sprinkled over tlio
'eaves will help the decay.

THE BOLL WEEVIL
AND CREDIT
J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension
Division College of Agriculture.
Much of the cotton that is grown
in Georgia requires an advance of
credit from the banker, or the mer
chant. When the boll weevil has made
itself felt there will be a hesitancy
about advancing credit on the crop.
In fact there may be an absolute with
drawal of credit which would spell
disaster.
It will be a mistake to cease growing
cotton, even in the presence of the boll
weevil. Therefore, it will be a mis
take to cease extending credit on cot
ton crops. Bankers and merchants,
have It within their power to meet the.
boll weevil situation safely and sanely,,
prevent panic and gradually direct
farming into a more profitable line
than ever could have been under the
one crop system.
The depredations of the weevil will
increase gradually. Except under most
unusual circumstances will it do it
greatest damage within the first year
or two after its appearance. Each
year it will take greater toll unless prop
er methods are used to combat it. It
would, therefore, seem a wise policy
for the banker and the merchant to
gradually reduce the amount of credit
on cotton. If they are to encourage
the largest development of the agri
cultural possibilities of the region they
serve, as well ai? develop their own
business, they will at the same time
encourage the diversification of crops
and the gradual introduction of live
stock to consume the products. There
fore, credit must be extended to these
crops, as it is being gradually reduced
on cotton.
It has been- estimated that the cut
in the yield of cotton the first year of
the invasion of the weevil is from 10
to 20 per cent; the second year from
25 to 45 per cent and the third from
40 to 60 per cent, depending upon what
measures have been taken to hold the
weevil In check. Under some such
schedule, a credit basis may be estab
lished on cotton.
