Who Benefits By
High Prices?
You feel that retail
meat prices are too high.
Your retailer says he
has to pay higher prices
to the packers.
Swift & Company prove
that out of every dollar
the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, 2 cents
is for packers’ profit, 13
cents is for operating
expenses, and 85 cents
goes to the stock raiser;
and that the prices of live
stock and meat move up
and down together.
The live-stock raiser points
%
to rising costs of raising live stock.
Labor reminds us that higher
wages must go hand in hand
with the new cost of living.
No one, apparently, is
responsible. No one, apparently,
is benefited by higher priees and
higher income.
We are all living on a high
prised scale. One trouble is,
that the number of dollars has
multiplied faster than the quan
tity of goods, so that each dollar
buys less than formerly.

Dollar and Cents.
Counting it only dollars and cents
how much did that last cold cost
you? A man may not always stop
work whet/he has a cold, but per
haps it would he better if he did.
It takes about ten days to getcom
pletelv rid of a cold under the usu
al treatment. That time can be
much shortened by taking Cham
berlin’s Cougli Remedy and proper
care of yourself, in fact, a bottle of
this remedy in the house is a migh
ty good investment during the win
ter and spring months. Horton

A Tribute.
Miss Harriett Clark departed
this life Jan. 3, 1919. All was done
for her that loving hands could do
to restore her to her health, but
God saw best to take lier.
Harriett was converted when hut
a child ; and oh ! how her face dul
shine with the very glorv "f God
,as she would tell how God had
saved her. She lived true to God
for several years, then she got cold
and said she was miserable, and
when Bro. C. M. Dnnmiwa.y was
holding a meeting at Mount Zion
she came hack to God, and so often
she shouted she was glad the Lord
said she was married to the back
slider.
She sought and obtained the
blessed experience of sanctification. I
She loved it and taught it to the
world by her sweet life and won
derful experience with the Lord.
She so much wanted to give her
whole life service to her Master’s
cause and was going to school to
better fit herself to rightly divide
the word of truth when she was
taken sick.
She bore her sickness with so
much patience and was always
cheerful. She loved her church,
Sunday school and tlio prayer
meeting. She was her pastor’s
friend. We will miss her so much,
but God said. ‘-It is enough, come
up higeer : ”
We feel that if Harriett could
call back to father, mother, broth
ers, sisters and loved ones today
from the courts of Heaven she
would say it pays to give up the
world and accept Christ and, plead
with them to come on.
Rev. Wells, Rev. Loftis and Rev.
South conducted the funeral at

Spring Cleaning Time Is Here.
If a house needs Spring clean
ing, how about the human body
after a winter of indoor life and
heavy food ? Mrs. Jennie Miner,
R. F. D. 1, Box 58, Davidson, Ind.,
writes: “I can truthfully say that
Foley Cathartic Tablets are the
best I ever used. They are so
mild in action. I felt like I had
been renovated and made over
again.” Don’t suffer from indi
gestion, biliousness, bad breath,
bloating, gas or constipation, when
relief can be so easily had. The

Without Money Cost
We are all at a danger point. On
the use of good common sense in our
1919 farm and garden operations, de
pends prosperity or our “going broke.”
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit, and make
money. Food and grain are higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
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 furnish nearly half your liv
ing. It will save you more money
than you made on the best two or
three acres of cotton you ever grew!
Hastings' 1919 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 farm crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real and regular farm prosperity. It’s
