A Patriotic Christmas! r f Where public sentiment in the past has urged a “sane Christmas” for the sake of order and proprie ty, the Geoggia Fire Prevention Committee of National Defense presents the new and added rea son that such a Christmas will assist our government in its great fight for the conservation of food products and other commodities by the prevention of fires. Statistics show that not only are death and injury due to the d play of fireworks, but that hea y destruction of property always i e suits. At a time when our nation is at war with the greatest single military power the world has ever known and is straining every nerve to meet the inevitable demands, it is above all ill-suited for the un necessary imperilling of any of our resources, whether man-power or property, by the useless extrava gance of funds or the endangering of products for a demonstration that at best can be classed only poor patriotism. The National government is us ing every energy to utilize availa ble forces to minimize the destruc tion of commodities by fire. America and our allies stand today in imperative need of all munitions this nation can produce. Marte rials used in making fireworks can be employed by the government in the manufacture of munitions. Acting under the direction of the government for the safeguard ing of all necessary products and property, the Georgia Fire Pre vention Committee of National Defense is urging municipalities of the State to enact and enforce or dinances that will prevent the sale and use of fireworks and save property and life. It is a time when loyal Georgi ans can aid in the prevention of destruction by fire and the use less waste of materials and money. H. G. Harding & Co. Byron, Ga., April 11, 1917. Old Kentucky Mfg.

Men but little past mid dle age remember when the cot tonseed were dumped in rivers; or burned, or piled into iiu£e heaps and a fence built around the pile to keep the livestock from eating and being poisoned. Now cottonseed meal and cot tonseed hulls are among the sta ple foods for cattle, while cotton seed oil and cottoleno are equally staple in the kitche... But these are not all. The latest by product of the South’s marvelous plant is cottonseed flour, and it bids fair to become one of the most valua ble. Cottonseed flour is made by the Baumgarten process and is known in Texas and elsewhere as Allison flour. It tastes well—is said to be more toothsome even than wheat flour, corn bread or graham bread. Its dietary value is proclaimed by chemists and per sons who know by experience to be a revelation as a health asset. It contains 64.43 per cent of protein and fat —53.86 per cent of protein and 7.17 per cent of fat. Patent wheat flour contains only 10 68 per cent of protein and 1,85 per cent of fat; rye bread about the same. As good as cottonseed flour is for yeast bread and “beat en biscuit,” it is said to be highly esteemed for houswives for its fine quality of battercakes, ginger cakes and doughnuts. If the by products of cotton con tinue to develop into foodstuffs the cotton grower will have a di versified crop in spite of himself. —Augusta Chronicle. Man Troubled for Two Years. Men and women should not suf fer from backache, rheumatic pains, stiff joints and swollen, sore muscles when relief can easily be had. James McCrery, Berrien Center, Mich., says he was trou bled with kidney and bladder trouble for two years; would have to get up several times during the night ana had pains across his kidneys. He used several kinds of medicine without relief, but Foley Kidney Pills cured him. Many such letters, come every day from all parts of the country. The McDonough Drug Co. Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot roach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining- of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube in inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless th<» inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys tem. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Circulars free. All Druggists. 75c. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo. O. Too Many Feuds and Law suits. It is this second great command ment, love for one’s neighbors, love for all mankind, that I wish now especially to emphasize, and to urge our preachers and religi ous leaders to empshasize. We have too many church members professing a religion of love who do not speak to some neighbor; who instead of forgiving some an cient injury lie awake nights plan ning to get even; who instead of putting a charitable construction upon the words and deeds of neighbors, live in a perpetual state of suspicion and distrust, or who belong to some “set” or faction in the community which cherishes nothing but hate or bitterness for some other faction. Especially, it seems to me, are such conditions likely to prevail in country communities. It is not that country people are worse at heart than city people, but simply because the farmer, living to him self, does not mingle with his fel lows as much as the city man, and it is always easy to mistrust the man you don’t know. It was a wise saying of a great man, “Know one another and you will love one another.” I remarked the other day that in proportion to property interests involved, 1 beiieve there are ten times as many lawsuits among farmers as among city bus iness men. No matter what our object may be —whether it is to develop indi viduals or nobie, generous charac ter; or bring about greater busi ness co-operation among rural people; or bring about a more sat isfying social and community life — in any case, there is nothing more important tor us than to get our people to put life’s emphasis on love rather than hate, on trust rather than on suspicion.—Pro- gressive Farmer. For Croup — Mothers— Always Keep this Handy The day of the Croup scare is over for those parents who wisely keep Toley’s Honey and Tar Compound In the home ready for instant use. W. C. Allen, Boseley, Mo., writes: “I have raised a family of four children, and have used Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound with all of them. I find it the host croup ard cough medicine I have ever used and I have used it for eight or ten years, and can recommend it for croup. If toward nightfall the little ones prow hoarse or croupy, if their breath ing becomes wheezy and stuffy, give them Foley’s Honey ard Tar Compound promptly and it will ward off an attack of croup. If you are awakened by the hoarse brassy cough that means croup, give Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound at once. It will ease the littie sufferers quickly, cut the thick choking phlegm, and soon they will have easy breathing and peaceful quiet sleep. it * * Every user is a friend.
