WOULD BANISH
STATE'S ILLITERACY
State-wide Campaign to Be
gin at Convention in
Macon.
At the coming meeting of the
Georgia Educational Association
to be held in Macon April 20, 21,
22 one of the principal questions
to be discussed will be that of
adult illiteracy in Georgia and
plans will be perfected to rid the
illiteracy by a state-wide cam- j
paign.
Already much work along this
line has been accomplished in
several counties, notably, New
ton, Houston, Tattnall and Tift.
In all this work the teachers
have had a large part.
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart,
while superintendent of the coun
ty schools of Cowan county, Ken
tucky, was the first person in
this county to start systematic
work to eradicate illiteracy. She
organized the famous moon-light
schools for grown people who
could not read and write. She is
now President of the Kentucky
Illiteracy Commission appointed
by the Governor of that state to
rid the entire state of illiteracy.
Mrs. Stewart will be present
at the Macon meeting of the
Georgia Educational Association
and will make an address on this
subject.
Every teacher in Georgia ought
to hear her.
678,443 Horses And
Mules go to Allies.
Washington, D. C. March 17.
The United States shipped 678,-
443 horses and mules, worth
$131,914, to Europe for the allied
armies in the last year and a half,
according to export figures as
sembled today in the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
During the whole of 1913 only
a few more than 30,000 horses
and mules went to Europe from |
the United States, but three j
months after hostilities began, j
they were going at the rate of
30,000 a month. The steady flow
reached its height last October
when 56,000 were shipped.
Despite a diminished supply,
the price of farm animals has
dropped considerably within the
last few months, which is ex
plained by the statement that
only the best horses left the
country, lowering the general
standard, and also by the increas
ed use of gas engines and auto
mobiles. The average price Jan.
1, 1916, was $101.60 compared
with $103.15 a year ago, and
$109.14 in 1914. The average
price of animals supplied to the
Allies was upwards of S2OO.
Ordinarily the rate of increase
in horses and mules is about one
per cent, a year, but last year
the European demand caused the
supply to diminish by about
35,000 animals. The Department
of Agriculture on Jan. 1 estima
ted the number of farm animals
in the United States at 25.000,-
000. A Census Bureau estimate
puts the number at 3,500,000.
Meat and Bread Farmer.
Judge J. B. Clements oflrwin
ville is what might be called a
sure enough hog and hominy
farmer. He has just finished
killing a bunch of 225 hogs which
netted him 35,000 pounds of meat.
He never waits on the weather
to kill his hogs but slaughters
them whenever they are fat
enough and it suits his conveni
ence, and he never loses any meat
as he keeps it in an ice-cold re
frigerator until it is ready to be
hung up and cured. Last year
he had about 1,000 bushels of
corn left when the new crop
came in. Farmers like Judge
Clements know no such thing as
hard times, and it is to be re
gretted that there are not more
of them. —Hawkinsville Dispatch-

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Tears of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—ln an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
j in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treal
! ment relieved me for a while, but 1 was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and 1 gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. 1
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it Begin taking Cardui today.
