Mrs. Butler of Butts county and
Mrs. Napier of Spalding county,
gave a demonstration in canning,
brining and cooking at the Mc-
Donough school building Monday
aid Tuesday of last week. Many
of the town women and a‘ few
from out of.town attended and
enjoyed the exhibition.
While most of us know how
and none very successfully to put
up fruit and vegetables, still there
are always more new methods
that may be helpful, perhaps re
quiring less labor, therefore more
should attend these demonstra
tions. Now that sugar is so scarce
and hard to secure, it is well to
use the brining and drying pro
cess.
A very inexpensive dryer was
used by Mrs. Napier, any child
could make one, and the rain and
dampness has no, or at least very
little effect. It is screened with
wire netting and can be hung over
the cook stove or set on it, where
there is room. The cooking dem
onstration was instructive, show
ing how to use the different sub
stitutes for wheat flour. The la
dies came under the auspices of
Woman’s Club.
For Constipation and Biliousness
Good digestion goes far toward
comfort and health in hot weath
er. Undigested food in the stom
ach can quickly poison the system.
Geo. Jenner, 446 Labor St., San
Antonio, Tex., writes: “Foley
Cathartic Tablets have proven the
best laxative I have taken and I
recommend to anyone suffering
from constipation or biliousness.
They should be in every traveling
man’s grip.” Quick relief for sick
headache, bloating or other con
dition caused by bad digestion.

312 F. A., Camp Mead, Md.,
July 2, 1918.
Dear Uncle Jim, and all the rest —
Will write you tonight, for it
will probably be my last opportu
nity to writ| before going over.
Am now with a bunch of Yanks,
all of them', but they are a good
bunch, and all of them are push
ing forward to one goal, that of
getting those treacherous Huns.
Marcus wrote me from Plattsburg
Training Camp to meet him in
New York .City tomorrow, on his
wav home; but I think he had
rather gc over and take a hand in
that scrap. He’s itching to get
into it right now.
I wonder if any of the boys, Erie
or Harold, are in it. If they can’t
pass, tell them to stay at home
and raise some feed for us, and
we will do the rest.
i have never., read or heard of
such a united and enthusiastic
bunch of soldiers as Uucle Sam
has assembled together. They
don’t seem to be afraid of h
nor high water.
1 hope you are all well and safe
when we get back, and then we
will talk it all over. I know eve.-
ry one of you would go over
there if you could, from Aunt Abi
on down.- 1 feel certain that I
will get b&j&, but if I should have
to ynderjj^ v -i*iiy Mc/ifice on the
battle Tielu, no one fias mote rea -
son to do so freely than 1, for
back home I have the best people
and the dearest loved ones in the
world to fight for.
Keep the old home fires burn
ing with pure democracy, and be
fore long every true American
living will be more than satisfied
with the outcome. As the time
approaches to board the ship, you
can’t realize how near and dear
mj loved ones back with you all
are to me, and it makes me feel
proud to have somebody to do for.
My sincerest love to everybody,
and regards to all the friends
around. Stephen.
Prevent Hog Cholera.
The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder
has a record of 95% cures of Hcg
Cholera. If you feed your hogs
as directed, you need never fear
hog cholera nor any other hog
disease. And the directions are
very simple, just about what you
are doing, plus a few cents worth
of B. A. Thomas’ Hog Powder in
the feed twice a week.
Uusually, though. Cholera gets
in before we know it. Then it re
quires close attention to each hog
—each hog must be dosed —and if
you will dose them as directed,
you will save better than 90 per
cent. If you don’t, the B. A.
Thomas medicince costs you noth
ing. We —not some distant man
ufacturer —pay your money back.
