I had doctored for years and tried
everything under the sun. A friend
told me about Vinci. I asked my
doctor about it, and he replied, ‘lt
certainly is the best medicine that can
be had today. I couldn’t give yon
any better.’ I took it, and today I
am as well and strong as any woman

THE PRICE OF SHAMEFUL PEACE
More than a billion dollars of Amer
ican agricultural exports were sold to
the European nations at war vnth
during 1917. Had this na
tion maintained peace at the price of
obedience to the German war zone
decree, this European market would
have been closed and this billion dol
lars worth of agricultural products
would, most of them, have rotted on
farms and in warehouses, or been
used in unprofitable ways, with con
sequent stagnation and ruin to the
American farmers.
Interest as well as duty urges the
American farmer to give financial
support to his government in this war.

FOURTH GRADE BOY WINS
PRIZE FOR THRIFT ESSAY
The following essay received the
prize offered, and the writer was giv
en two Thrift Stamps by the Jackson
National Bank:
A BOY WHO WAS THRIFTY
(By Jack Wilson, fourth grade, Jack
son Public Schools.)
Little Tom was a boy of nine. lie
bad a war garden by the garden fence
He ran errands for people. Of course
hey gave him a nickle or dime. In
Autumn v<hen his garden was bearing
he sold cabbage, letuce, turnips, po
tatoes, tomatoes and so forth.
All this time he was saving his
pennies and dimes in a little iron
bank. This he kept in the parlor on
the mantel. Soon the bank was full
and enough money to buy sixteen
War Savings Stamps. This he invest
ed in War Savings Stamps. On the
way to the postoffice he met some
boys. They said, “come on, Tom,
let’s get an ice cream cone and some
candy.” Tom said, “I do not need
so much candy, I had rather go to the
post office and fill out my War Sav- j
ings card. It will help to feed the j
poor starving soldiers in France. It
is teaching us to save, to be thrifty
and wise. It is also earning of money
which will come in handy in later
years. Well, good bye,” said Tom.
I will go on to the post office.”
There he filled out his card. He had
some money left over and on his
way home he passed the drug store.
On the counter he saw a glass jar. A
sign was hanging by which read:
‘Help to buy smokes for the boys in
France.” Tom went in, dropped two
or three pennies in. This boy as you
see, was u thrifty boy, and as his
friends know will be a fine man.
OIRLB! ITS YOUR
STEP THAT AITiGTS!
Says Women Pay Too Much
Heed to Their Face Instead
of Their Corns
Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what charms more than a
lovely skin, but your high heels have
caused corns and you limp a little.
That’s bad, girls, and you know it.
Corns destroy beauty and grace, be
sides corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet of every com by ask
ing at any drug store for a quarter
of an ounce of freezone. This will
cost little but is sufficient to remove
every hard or soft com or callus
from one’s feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, touchy corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out without
pain.
. This freezone is a gummy sub
stance which dries instantly and sim
ply shrivels up the com without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
comless feet create a youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness,
advt.
THE MONEY COMES BACK
The cycle of money invested in Lib
erty Bonds is short and complete. The
people lend the money to the govern-
ment, the government lends some to
our Allies, and our government and
our Allies straightway spend the
money, or the greater portion of it,
amon gthe people of the United
States. In some instances the money
paid in by wage earners on one in
stallment of Liberty Bonds is paid "by
the government to their employers,
and by their employers paid back to
the way of wages before the next
Bond installment is due.
Buy Liberty Bonds.

“I suffered for fifteen years with
rheumatic symptoms. Peruna cured

around medicine ever made. I hope

cines can procure Peruna Tablets.
