PAGE TWO GUINEAS ARE USED TO ROUT WEEVILS Farmers Now Put Fowls to Work And At Same Time Derive Big Revenue ATLANTA; Nev. 2. tineas and chicks may put the boll weevil out of business, if the testimony of Georgia fanpers is correct, as ex pressed to officials of the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Since the first report of ■>tton field being' mt.de free of weevils by chickens and guineas eating the cotton pests several other similar reports have been received at the agricultural department from wide ly separated sections. It appears that the experiment of turning the fowls loo;-' upon the weevils is at leas! worth the effort, according to experts of the department. Chickens or guineas—and it was said the latter is the best weevil exterminator, canot harm the cot ton to any great extent and if they kill the boll weevils, as it is claim ed they will solve the most puzzling problem that* has confronted the Southern farmers in the history of the cotton industry will have been solved it is asserted. Source of Income. Besides doing invaluable work posibly for the preservation of the cotton industry, agriculturists here say, chickens and guineas in. cotton fields can be a source of income to the farmers in the eggs they pro duce. and the young fowls that would raise. Already, r.s leadhig farmers of the state have informed the state agricultural department, the hen is one of the best assets of the farm, being worth a billion dollars a year to the farmers of the country, ac cording to recent estimate. “It will not make the hen less profitable for her to fatten and thrive upon the weevil that is de stioying the cotton,’’ said an of ficial of the agricultural depart ment, “and it certainly will be cheaper for the farmer-to feed his chickens boll weevils than -orn or other grain.” I DAIRY SUPPLIES | IL Write Departmen ;lu9 r m I CORN KNIVES 60c EACH !

The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it may remain to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, raiding sensation, or setting up an irri tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig ing yoii to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer in constant dread; the water passes sdme'im'es ‘with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is diffi culty in voiding it. Bladdor weakness, most folks call it because they can’t control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to over come. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act nor mal again. ; • Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes mid lemon juice, combined with lithia and is uy.’d by thousands of folk who are subject to lirinari di-orders be id iiri tation.' Jad Salts cause's no bad effects whatever. Here vou have a pleasant, efferves cent lithia-water drink which may quickly relieve vour bladder irritation.

G. McAdoo, who is spending the week here, renewed acquaintances with personal and political friends, including several of his associates i'-.’Sfcw i |ip A iy ■'& II ■ I The Use of Electricity ' jl In T our Home « In considering the applications of electric service to the W home, the question of lighting is one of the foremost. 1/| Electric lighting marks so tremendous an advance over all 111 other systems of illumination that it is unnecessary to point I out the advantages. Yet in the work of transforming a hduse into a home, consideration must be given to the forms and quality of lighting. It must be regarded from both an artistic standpoint and a utilitarian standpoint. To secure the greatest service from electricity, for domes tic uses as well as lighting, thought must be given to the location of convenience outlets. These should be placed in the walls, wainscoting or baseboard at points offering the greatest measure of convenience in supplying current for the performance of various household tasks. ~ • Careful selection of the proper locations for convenience outlets will result in an absence of visible wires. 3 Americus Lighting Company ' A mericus, Ga.
