The McDonough Wo man’s Club is doing a grand and noble work for McDonough, and richly deserves the hearty co operation of every citizen of tne town. Daughter In Terrible Shape Women bear troubles more bravely than men. They smile and suffer pain uncomplainingly where a man demands a doctor and nurse. A. Mitchell, Bagdad, Ky., writes: My daughter was in terrible shape with kidney trou ble. I got her to take Foley Kid ney Pills and she is completely cured.” Aching back, sore mus cles, stiff joints, shooting pains in sides, rheumatic aches are indica tions that the kidneys are not workiog properly. Foley Kidney Pills correct bladder troubles. The McDonough Drug Co. A society lady was constantly be ng told that she had a model hus band. Being at a loss to know just what they might mean by the assertion, she concluded to consult the dictionary, when to her great surprise she read: “Model; a small imitation of the real thing.” Progress Spring Shoppers busy now.

Half Yoyr Living Without Cost A. right or wrong start in 1917 will make or break most, farmers in the South. We are all facing a crisis. This war in Europe put 3 things in such uncertainty that no man can foresee the future with auy degree of clearness. The sure and certain increase in cotton acreage means lower cotton prices next fall. Cost of all food and grain products high, so high that no one can afford to buy and expect to pay out with cotton. It’s a time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down the store bill. A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to pay half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best five acres of cotton you ever grew! Hastings’ 1817 Seed Book tells all about the right kind of a money sav ing garden and the vegetables to put in it. It tells about the field crops as well and shows you the clear road to rdhl farm prosperity. It's Free. Send for it today to H. G. HASTINGS CO„ Atlanta, Ga. —Advt. Administrator s Sale.
