GERMAN PAPER TELLS OF
HARDSHIPS SOLDIER’S FAMILY
Tho Committee on Public Infoma
tion has made public the folloing
translation of a story appearing in
the October 15, ID 17, issue of the
Leipziger Volkazcitung:
“A sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers has been brought to
our attention from Upper Langenau
in Silesia. One of the hired men of
I)r. Mueller’s agricultural estate has
been for a long time at the front. His
wife, who had worked alongside of
her husband before the war after the
usual custom, remained in the ranks
of the field h ands and accordingly
retained her farm cottage. October
1 this woman got the following letter:
“‘The undersigned bailiff of the es
tate hereby gives you notice as of
this date to the field service for
January 1, 1918. On that day you are
to give up your house. The work
which you are doing on the farm
does not compensate the farm for the
loss which it accrues through the con
tinued support of your family. Look
out for yourself away from this farm,
your house is needed for other use.'
“The woman communicated the no
tice to her husband with these words:
‘I must tell you my distress, soon I
shall not be able to see the paper for
my tears. What shall I do? Winter is
at. the door and the cottage is full
of little c hildren.’
“Thus the bailiff of the estate of
a bloated landlord turns a family
with eight children out of doors while
the man is at the front. Comment
takes care of itself.” I
MAMMA! DON'T YOU
SEE YOUR CHILD IS
SICK, CONSTIPATED
Look at Tongue! Move Poi
sons From Liver and Bow

Mother! You child isn’t naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated;; this is a sure sign its little
stomach, liver and bowels need clean
sing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,
doesn’t eat, sleep or act naturally,
has stomachache, diarrhoea, remem
ber, a gentle liver and bowel clean
sing should always be the first treat
ment given.
Nothing equals “California Syrup
of Figs’’ for children’s ills; give a
teaspoonful, and in a few hours all
the foul waste, sour bile .and ferment
ing food which is clogged in the bow
els passes out of the system, and you
have a well and playful child again.
All children love his harmless, delic
ious “fruit laxative,” and it never
fails to effect a good “inside” cleans
ing. Directions for babies, children of
all ages and grown-ups are plainly on
the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A
little given today saves a sick child
tomorrow, but get he genuine. Ask
ask your druggist for a bottle
“California Syrup of Figs,” then look
and see that it is made by the “Cali

THE NEED OF AN EDUCATION
TODAY
By Herschell Harris
Why is it our government stands
above all? Because it rests upon an
intelligent and well educated people
of today. It is not necessary to say
1 anything of the uneducated man, for
he has never accomplished anything.
In the years past he was classed as a
farmer, hut now the present farmers
must be educated, for they have a
great proble mbefore them—feeding
and clothing the world.
| Education is needed more at the
present time than ever before while
our country is engaged in the foreign
war. If this war lasts ten or fifteen
years longer, which it could, our coun
try would he drained of the well ed
ucated men, and someone would have
to take their places. The question is
whether they will be prepared.
Pray that our country will profit
by the allies’ mistake. Most of Eng
land’s and France’s colleges and uni
versities are nearly empty. After her
! noble and brave students have been
I exhausted where is she going to get
men to carry on the home affairs since
; she has neg’eted education?
i After the war the government will
need more educated men than evei
before because there will be a change
in every sort of affairs.
I This being true parents should not
' stop their children out of school this
spring even to raise some more of
thirty-cent cottun, for there is not a
father or mother in this country that
don’t want their child to be a leader.
Then they must give them a neduca
tion and train them to be a good fol
lower before they can become a lead
er.

SINGLE HOG BRINGS $74.75
Moultrie, Jan. 13.—One hog sold
on the Moultrie market yesterday
for $74.75. It weighed 575 pounds
and brought 13 cents a pound. The
hog was two years old and its owner
figures that he had more than SSO
clear profit in it.
PREVENT HOG CHOLERA
The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder
has a record of 95 per cent cures of
Hog Cholera. If you feed your hogs
aa directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very simple,
just about what you are doing, plus
a few cents worth of B. A. Thomas’
Hog Powder in the feed twice a
weak.
Usually, though, cholera gets in
before we know it. Then it requires
close attention to each hog—each
hog must be dosed—and if you will
dose them as directed, you will save
better than 90 per cent. If you
don’t, the B. A. Thomas medicine
cosrts you nothing. We—not some
distant manufacturer pay your
money back.
