You Do More Work,
You are more ambitious and you get more
enjoyment out of everything when your j
blood is in good condition. Impurities in
the blood have a very depressing effect on i
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.
GROVE’S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
restores Energy and Vitality by Purifying
and Enriching the Blood. When you feel
its strengthening, invigorating effect, see
how it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.
OROVE’S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
is not a patent medicine, it is simply
IRON and QUININE suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The
blood needs Quinine to Purify it and IRON
to Enrich it. These reliable tonic prop
erties never fail to drive out impurities in
the blood.
The Strength-Creating Power of GROVE’S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC has made it
the favorite tonic in thousands of homes.
More than thirty-five years ago, folks
would ride a long distance to get GROVE'S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC when a
member of their family had Malaria or
needed a body-building, strength-giving
tonic. >The formula is just the same to
day, and you can get it from any drug
store. 60c per bottle.
Colds Cause Grip and Influenza
LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets remove the

SULPHURCLEARS
FIGURED SI
Face, Neck and Arms Easily Made
Smooth, Says Specialist
Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying a little Mentho-
Sulphur, declares a noted skin spe
cialist. Because of its germ destroy
ing properties, this sulphur prepara
tion begins at once to soothe irritated
skin and heal eruptions such as rash,
pimples and ring worm.
It seldom fails to remove the tor
ment aad disfigurement, and you do
not have to wait for relief from em
barrassment. Improvement quickly
shows. Sufferers from skin trouble
should obtain a small jar of Mentho-
Sulphur from any good druggist and
use it like cold cream.

Tuberculosis In Livestock
The dreaded white disease not only
infects people but it also has its an
nual toll from our livestock. The
state has cone a send deal of work
testing dairy herd 3 for tuberculosis
and the results have been beneficial
to all of us. This should be extended
to all our herds of cattle including
beef as well as fairy. One sick cow
can scatter tuberculosis far and wide.
She can give it to humans and to
calves and hogs through her milk.
Since milk is the best food we have
for ourselves and for our young stock
we readily see the Importance of
knowing that our milk cow or beef
cow is free from the disease. Fort
unately the tests are very accurate and
also fortunately we have a very low
percentage of infected cattle In the
South. The Government is now pub
lishing lists of herds that have been
tested and pronounced free of tubercul
osis. This is helping as buyers pre
fer to buy from herds that are healthy
and they are thus enabled to know by
simply refering to the list which herd's
have been officially tested' several
times and pronounced free.
Caldlum Arsenate
Again I want to warn that it 1*
against the laws of Georgia to sell
any material for spraying fruit tree«,
cotton or other plants for the control
of insect enemies, that has not been
inspected and passed by the State
I Department. There are agents travel
ing over the state and they have been
. in this county selling dips and' other
, patented preparations for controlling
. the boll weevil. They are and
any one taking the agency to handle
. their preparations are assuming a risk
; Calcium arsenate as a dust has pass
1 ed the experimental stage and now is
1 being used extensively. The small
1 hand' dust machines are alright for
experimenting but they are not pract
f icail for any size area. Several have
- attempted to dust large farms with
- these small machines and some have
> attempted to dust with Jute bags.
> Their results have been disheartesing
■ as they could not cover the field quick

the hard labor of putting the dust OA
with them.
C. M. Smith and W. L. Harden In
the low'er part of the county and Just
over In Tattnall county have used &
large three row two horse machln*
this year. I suggest that those inter
ested in dusting go to these men*
farms and! look over their result*.
Talk it over with them as well a*
others that are using it this year.
One Horse or Two
Did you ever notice the diffenrence*
between methods on a farm that 1*
prospering and one that is not? La*t
Friday I walked over Mr. Jim Jones*
place at Cedar Crossing. 130 acre*
of cotton yielded' 68 bales last year
or a little over a half bale to the acre.
He made no fight against the weevil
other than good cultivation, fertiliz
ing, and planting early. This year
his crop bids fair to exceed that mark,
still without using any poison. His
. corn crop is good and' just keeps on
• being good' the further yu go. The
outstanding features of his farm are
, his use of machinery and fertilizer
and manure. Cotton follows corn
and velvet beans each year. While I
was there he had four mules pulling
a 12 gasg disc putting in peas on
i land that has been turned with a 3
1 hourse plow. Following the disc har
, row was a drag made of 2 x 4 pieces in
! the shape of an inverted V, and pull
i ed by four mules. Those two piece*
i of machinery with only one man to
• each were covering ground a? -rapidlp
i as three or four two horse implement*
• with three or four men could have
: done. Further they were leaving the
1 land in much better shape than the
i lighter implements would have done.
: Clarence Poe wrote “That the Orient
i was poor because the people lacked
> two things—Schools and machinery.
1 The people are no educated and they
' dont use modern tools and machinery.
- Nearly everything is done by hand”.
s He now says wp.are just half way
i where we ought to be with both school
s and machinery. “We work hard
. enough but we dont get results—
; theres the trouble,”
C Mr. Jones and other farmers of thi*
) ! county have learned that machinery
, will divorce their men from cJrudgery
and that machinery and proper fert
illzatios will make crop? for them
that are profitable. He is now invest
. igating the different methods of coa
-3 trolling the boll weevil and when he
1 gets his mind thoroughly made up on
that he will handle it just os thorough
r
, ly as handled there other two mat
ters ■ * -
I Just so long as we use methods
that keep our farm women, boys and
girls tied to the hoe and the plow
when they should be at home or in
school, just so long will we struggle
against poverty.
