Constipation
Relieved Quickly, Easily
Mrs. B.G. Brown, Atlanta, Ga., writes:
“I take Dr. Hitchcock’s All-Vegetable
Laxative Powder for dizziness, bilious
ness and sick headaches caused by con
stipation. I have never found"anything
better. When I feel weak, rundown and
sluggish I take 1/3 dose after meals, or
a small dose at bedtime. It thoroughly
cleanses the bowels.” Dr. Hitchcock's
Laxative Powder Is mild —but effective
—it acts gently, yet thoroughly, and
removes that clogged condition of the
bowels. At all drug stores 25c.

Here we come again to tell of,

have sent in our annual report*.

the number of gardens to dates, with

Reports from all clubs show that
teachers and clubs of all school com
munities are hard down at work,
getting things ready for our annual
county fair and farm conference.
Many have sent in reports, saying
that they are thinking what to do
or make. I’m afraid that thinking
will be all some of us will do, as
usual. Let thoughts and work go to
gether—and work.

The clubs of Commerce, our clubs

Our agent has canceled her itiner

expect us to put over some kind of

prevent us from trying to make the
best better.
