SUMTER FLOCKS
SURPRISE EXPERT
Miss Smith Picks County
For Special Work
This Year
Miss Maud Smith, poultry special
ist from the State College of Agricul
ture, has completed her preliminary
campaign in Sumter county for in
creased production of pure bred chick
ens. During this campaign particular
stress was laid upon the superiority
of pure bred stock over mongrel stock,
the value of the early hatch and the
keeping of records.
Miss Smith was both surprised and
pleased to find so many large, pure
bred flocks here. Sumter has not been
given the credit really due her in the
poultry industry, because of the fact
that few records have been kept of
the profit or loss of the individual
flocks, and practically no reports of
these records have been sent to the
State College to be forwarded to
Washington.
Georgia, also, ranks low in this in
dustry in comparison with the other
states, due, Miss Smith says, largely
to the same fact of few records being
kept or reported. Therefore, she is
urging that owners of pure chickens
in Sumter county begin this year to
keep a record of all expense and in
come connected with this work, and
at the end of the year to give a copy
of this record to Mrs. Olin Wiliams,
county demonstraton agent, to be
forwarded to the State College of
Agriculture. This will not only ena
ble the owners to know whether they
are conducting their business success
fully from a financial standpoint, but
will help Sumter and Georgia to get
credit for work that is really going on
within their bounds.
Several owners, among them C. F.
Howe. Mrs. Ed Morgan and Mrs. C.
R. Morgan, have promised to keep
these records.
After a survey of the state, Miss
Smith has named Sumter as one of
twenty counties in Georgia in which
she will do special poultry work this
year.

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
.
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom ill.
1 If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull dizzy headache; or, if your
meals ’ sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have a real surprise await
ing you. .
To-morrow morning, immediately
upon arising, drink a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonfui of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canaL
Those subject to sick t headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side-bath. It is said that men and
women who try this become enthtv .
siastic and keep it up daily. It is a
splendid health measure for it is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
it Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonfui of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos
phate is an inexpensive white powder
*nd almost tasteless.

DOCTORS URGE
A WILSON TRIP
May Go To California
Within Month, Is
Report
-
WASHINGTON, Jan 29.—Al
though Joseph Tumulty, secretary to j
the President, said he did not know
anything about plans under way for 1
the removal of President Wilson to
California late next month or early i
in March, it was asserted in other
quarters that such plans are never- '
theless being made and that nego
tiations for a suitable place are go
ing forward.
It is declared that the proposal not
only meets with the approval of the
President’s personal physician, Dr.
Grayson, but also with consulting
physicians in the President’s case
who aver that before the President
can resume his duties completely he
must have a change of scene and cli- j
mate and get away from the strenu- j
ous governmental environment of
Washington for a time.
William G. McAdoo is also said to'
be urging these plans to completion j
and to have had a part in the Presi
dent’s family deciding upon Califor
nia as the proper place. Mr. McAdoo,
himself, has a place in California and
it may be that the President will go
there or to some place adjacent
thereto in the vicinity of San Diego.
Os course should the President’s
condition become worse, it may be
necessary to cancel these plans, hut
at the present rate of progress his
physicians feel quite certain that the
President would be able to go to
Southern California by sea, through
the Panama Car.al, within a month.
Whether he would make the trip on
the presidential yacht, Mayflower, or
on some other government vessel, it
is said, has not been decided. A trip
to Virginia contemplated by the
President last week-end had to be
abondoned on account of severe
weather, the Potomac just now being
swept by blizzardy winds and the
river being dangerously full of ice.
This trip may be taken, however, it
is learned, if the weather moderates
sufficiently in the near future.

All through our hands distributed, !

To raise the dough and raise the
