J. Farrell, Mgr. SWEET POTATOES MAY BE TREATED FOR ROT Losses May Be Lessened By Single Methods. Between four and five million bush els of sweet potatoes were lost In Georgia last year from potato dis eases, and the astounding fact is that these diseases may be controlled by simple and inexpensive methods. Some of the diseases attack the sweet potato before harvesting and others while it is in storage. The latter class is known as “moulds" and It proves very destructive to food stuffs generally. The most common diseases of the sweet potato are black rot, scurf, soft rot and blue mould. practically all of the diseases may be controlled by three very simple methods —crop rotation, seed selec tion and seed treatment. Black rot and scurf may be carried over in the soil from a previous year’s crop of potatoes or they may be introduced on diseased manure or diseased slips, hence the advisability of having a new seed bed every year and planting some other crop or crops in rotation with the sweet potato which are not affected by the same diseases. Planting potatoes should be select ed from disease-free hills. Just be fore bedding the seed potatoes should be treated to destroy rot spores on the surface. For seed treatment one ounce of Bichloride of mercury is dis solved in eight gallons of water by suspending the crystals in a loose sack just below the surface of the water. Never use metal container for the bichloride solution but a wood en tub or barrel. The potatoes are placed in loosely woven sacks and dipped into the solution for not less than ten minutes or more than twen ty. The potatoes are then removed from the liquid and bedded at once. Answers Brother Editor : Will you allow me space in your paper for a short letter for the first time. A few weeks ago some one ask ed a few questions. Come on, friends, get your Bible and see if I am right with the answers. Faith is only mentioned one time in the Old Testament, and there are (if 1 have made no mis take) 1818 verses in the New Tes tament. Am I right, or wrong ? Friends, our Bibles are getting dusty. I must admit that mine is dusty; but not so much as others that I know. Let’s get a great big duster, one that will dust our sou souls. Also we we are think ing too much of war and other things, ar.d entirely forgetting our souls. People always hurry to the station to purchase a ticket for a trip somewhere, but did you ever stop to think when to pre pare a ticket to a home from which we will never go? Friends, we are preparing our ticket every day, and we should be very careful which road we go. We can’t be a Christian away from hi me and have a passport. Rev. W. M. Hardy. Periodic Bilious Attacks. Persons subject to periodic bil ious attacks will observe that their appetite fails them just before an attack. That. is. they do not really crave food but eat because it is meal time. If they will eat only a light meal and no meat, then take two of Chamberlain's Tablets the attack may be avoided. Horton Drug Co. THE strong and vigorous man or woman is envied by less fortunate humanity afflicted with aches, pains, infirmities and ailments. The sufferer says to himself, “If I could only be well, how happy I would be,” for health is more essential to the joy of living than is wealth. > The kidneys almost literally wash the blood and keep it clean and free from impurities. When the kidneys are out of order, they fail to filter out this waste and pois onous matter. It remains in the system to cause backache, rheumatic pains, sore muscles and stiff joints. JMeyganeygis help the system eliminate this poisonous waste. They soothe, strengthen and heal sore, weak and diseased kidneys and bladder. When the kidneys aie working properly, appetite returns, refreshing sleep is possible, and health and strength come again. C. W. Smith, 1205 No. 4th St., Salina, Ras., writes: lam very much pleased with Foley Kidney Pills. 1 am working in a coal yard and have been very much troubled with my back. 1 have taken several doses of Foley Kidney Pills and they have already helped me."

SMOKING TOBACCO FACTS FROM THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA The Use of Flavorings Deter mines Difference In Brands The Encyclopaedia Britannica says about the manufacture of smoking to bacco: “... on the Continent and in America, certain ‘sauces’ are employed ... the use of the ‘sauces’ is to improve the flavour and burning qualities of the leaves.” Which indicates that a smoker’s enjoyment depends as much upon the flavoring used as upon the tobacco. Your nose is a sure guide in the mat ter of flavorings. Try this simple test with several tobacco brands: pour some tobacco into your palm, mb briskly, and smell. You will notice a distinct difference in the fragrance of every brand. The tobacco that smells best to you will smoke best in your pipe, you can rest assured. Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco, plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance your nose can quickly distinguish from *r f y other tobacco.
