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. The McDononugh Drug Co.

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. Henry County Supply Co. FOR SALE.
