A Familiar Slogan. How familiar to the ear, yet how attractive and appealing to reason, is the cry now raised again in Georgia—“ Live at Home,” “Feed Yourself.” A “live at home” and “feed yourself” movement is in line with suggestions of the state agricul tural department and which has been urged by J. J. Brown, Geor gia's commissioner, ever since ht tias been in office. The last time the people of Georgia heard the familiar slogan —or was it “Hog and Hominy ?” —was m the fall of 1914. Then, when cotton was about the most valueless thing in the world, it .was loudly oroclaimed as the South’s salvation, the South’s one hooe of salvation. Then, if you remember, it was “Buy a Bale” and “Hog and Hominy.” The “Live at Home” and “Feed Yourself” movement undoubtedly w ll revolutionize the farming in dustry in Georgia and the South. The 1919 cotton crop probably "will be cut down to fifty per cent of normal as a result of the recent cnprecedent rains throughout the ootton belt, combined with other factors, according to Commission er J. J. Brown. He says that thousands of acres of cotton are being abandoned because it would be useless to attempt to cultivate them, and the farmers are going to uroduce a big crop of late corn and other food and forage crops. “I strongly advise the farmers to put their cotton on the market gradually,” said Commissioner Brown. “There is no telling how high the price will go by fall.” Road to Health.

The Atlanta Constitution tells us inter esting sayings and doings of him. The Constitution calls him the Evangelist Congressman. That he preaches minus a coat and that he strongly opposes the action of President Wilson on beer and wine. Would that there were more W. D. Upshaw’s. A quotation here from Pente costal Herald edited by Dr. Morri son: “The ministers of the gospel, the mothers of our soldiers, the noblest statesmen, and the great masses of intelligent and devout Christian citizens of the nation are deeply grieved at the action of the President in this matter. We are just emerging from the most horrible war in history. Hundreds of thousands of people in the last few years have perished for food; the problem of saving countless hosts from starving is one of the biggest problems confronting the statesmen and philanthropists of our time, and yet, we are asked to start the breweries going, and waste millions of grain in worth less and destructive drink. The whole decent citizenship of the nation should besiege congress with petitions and protests, and plead with God in prayer that the representatives of the nation in congress and senate absolutely refuse to remove the ban from beer and wine.” Mr. W. T. Kelley has bought the old home place of Mr. W. B. Ingram of McDonough. Rev. Oscar McKibben and wife of Atlanta visited the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McKibben. Dr. Moseley and wife visited same Sunday. Mr. Ernest Bledsoe and Miss Florence Blessit were united in matrimony last Sunday evening at G. G. LeGuinn’s residence. Several from this place atten ded singing at Bethany Sunday Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cawthon of Butts cou.ity visited relatives here last Sunday evening. Anonymous. Why Die at Forty? Twice as many die at 40 as at 20. Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that this is not as it should be. A man should be in his prime at 40, and some are at 50; but according to statis tics, men are in their prime at 12. At this early age their vitality begins to wane and defects accu mulate, so that by the time they are 20 and 30 years old, they are old men. This is largely because of neglect of the human body, failure to have it looked over for physi cal defects and weaknesses, and failure to have these remedied or removed. Isn’t it worth while to take a little more care as to how you live and stay young? There are no physical reasons why men should grow old and die at 40. — Adapted from “How to Live.” It Is All Gone Now. Samuel Kramer, Box 95, Sellers ville, Pa., writes: “I had a kidney trouble for two years and had a terrible backache. That is all gone now’ after using Foley Kidney Pills and I feel well again.” When the kidneys are overworked, weak or diseased, the waste matter remains in the system and causes pain in the side or back, rheumatism, lum bago, stiff joints, sore muscles, backache. Foley Kidney Pills get results quickly and are tonic in their healing and soothing effect. Good for bladder trouble, too. McDonough Drug Co. HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH GEORGIA. 1. My w’ife is my boss. I shall not w r ant. 2. She maketh me lie down behind the bed when swell com pany comes. 3. She restoreth my pocket book after she has spent all of its contents: and she leadeth me up the main aisle of the church for her new’ hat’s sake. 4. Yea, though I walk more than half the night through the darkness with a crying baby I will not rest, for she is behind me with her broomstick and hatpin— they do everything but comfort me. 5. She prepareth a cold snack for me, then maketh a bee line for the Bridge Club. She anoin teth my head with a rolling pin, mine arms runneth over with bundles before she is half done shopping. 6. Surely, her dressmaker’s and milliner’s bills shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of my wife forever. Wanted.

When a man comes to you all doubled ap with pain and declares he will die in your presence unless you procure him a drink of whis key, send him to a doctor or else give him a dose of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarhoea Remedy. There is a mistaken notion among a whole lot of people that booze is the best remedy for colic and stomach ache. For Sale by Horton Drug Co. Task for Gardener. At a certain camp in France the potato crop had proved rather a failure and the smallness of the “spuds” was the subject of many mess “courtesies.” One day a sergeant ordered Pat to dig up potatoes for the men’s dinner and because he would not do so, Pat was brought up before the “bloke” as a defaul ter. “Why did you refuse to obey the orders of the N. C. O.?” asked the C. O. “Shure, it’s like this, sur. Mv eyesight is very bad and I didn’t go a great deal on the hidden treasure stunt, sur. I thought that it was a waste of government time and money, sur, and that the gardener should go and dig them himself, since he’s the only wan in the camp who knows where he put them, sur.” Got Good Results. This honest, straightforward letter from a woman who has suffered should be heeded by all afflicted with backache, rheumatic pains, sore muscles, awful tired feeling and other symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble: “I have got such good results from Foley Kidney Pills that I can sleep much better and the pain in my back and sides is a good lot bet ter. lam going to keep on taking them.” McDonough Drug Co.
