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. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

(l-iiist \\ >‘t'k s Items.) We are glad to know the sick of our community are better. Mrs. Ed Stewart has been stay ing with her mother, Mrs. T. G. Swann, who has been sick but is able to be up.

Wells, Miss Esther White and Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Gardner and children. We are sorry to note the death of the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Gardner, which occur red at their home March 2, 1919. It was laid to rest at Bethel church March 3, 1919, Mr. G. C. Clark conducting the funeral. We extend our sympathy to the be reaved One, Two, Three. 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 Drug Co. 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 Bethel, Jan. 24, 1919. One Who Loves Her Memory. 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 McDonough Drug Co.

HsJ Y©isr Living 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 Free. Send for it today to H. G.
