Mr. Farmer and Business Man. When a business man owns a house or a store or a stock of goods, what does he do to protect himself? Does he carry all the risk of loss himself? No. If he is a wise business man he pays what they call a premium fee to some insurance company and puts an insur ance policy on his property or his busi ness, so that in case of loss he has something to fall back on. Is not that a pretty safe rule to fol low? If so, whv not follow it in farm ing? What is the present situation? No one knows what the price of cotton will be next spring or next fall. There is no use in (dunging in on an uncer tainty. No one knows what will hap pen to the market if the war continues, or if it closes. It is not safe to gam ble or take chances on the future price of cotton. Then, why not. put an insurance pol icy on your farming business and have something to fall hack on in case of loss in the cotton market? Here is the insurance policy I urn talking about, and all it will cost iH a part of your land, some labor, tools, a little fertili ser, and some seed— 1 A home garden for every family, to provide vegetables ns near as possi ble the year round, and an additional plot of ground for potatoes, either Irish or sweet, or both. liaise sor ghum or cane enough for syrup for the family. 2. Produce the corn necessary to sup port the family and the live stock on the farm for a year with absolute cer tainty. I!. Produce the necessary oats or other small grain to supplement the corn as food and for winter grazing. •1. Produce enough hay and forage to supply all your live stock for a year. In doing so don't forget the legumes, because they produce hay and also en rich the soil. f>. Produce enough chickens and hogs to supply meat for the fumily. In- cri use your other live stock gradually, but insure your meat supply with these. In other words, produce your living first. That is the best insurance. Dur ing the past year you were advised by practically all the agricultural forces in the country to provide these tilings as an emergency. When conditions in the world market are na uncertain as they are at present, why not insure against absolute loss by putting this policy into effect? Safe farming consists in making the farm bidf-suHtuiuing — whether the cash crop fails or not, and whether the market fails or not. To put an insurance policy on your business for the year, to protect you against uncertainties and risks that you ought not to try to carry your selves, means to produce a living on the farm in the form of things to eat, bo as to be independent of the market and be protected against disaster. Mr. Business Man, is not this a safer and Burer plan than to risk all on the price of cotton? Is it not better for you and better for the far-mer? Farmers, having done as well as you have under the stress of the past year, and brought the South thus far on the road to self-sustaining agriculture and independence, are you going to let the old temptation to risk all on the price of cotton persuade you to do an unsafe thing? Think before you act. Business men, don’t let yourselves be the cause of disaster by fixing your credit on cotton. Give credit upon the farmer's efforts to support himself upon the land. Provide a cash market for his surplus food and feed crops and live stock. You will get what is com ing to you if you will only help him to "Play Safe" by planting to insure against loss by doing safe farming. J. H. Blackwell, Demonstration Agent. When a fellow endeavors to pull down the town in which he lives, he is operating against his own interests, ami when tie engages in the work of construction is building up his interests and those of his neighbors. He should banish the idea that everything that doesn’t elicit his approval is wrong, for usually the stamp of approval of such a fellow is a sufficient guarantee of in adequacy. A fellow who has the right view of things gives the town in which he lives all the boosting that it can le gitimately hear. It does him no harm and costs him nothing. And above all, he should patronize local institutions.— Griffin News and Sun. THIS LITTLE WOMAN GAINS 35 POUNDS ON THREE BOTTLES. Another Thin, Trail. Nervous and Pain-Racked Woman Restored to Health. "Honestly, I am getting so fat I am really ashamed to tell you now much I have gained," said Mrs. Nettie McGirrr, who lives at 1805 Eighteenth Avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn., several days ago. "Actually it has gotten to be a regu lar joke, for I have gotten so stout that my clothes are too small for me, and every dress I wore last winter will have to be made over again.” she continued, "and the change in my general appear ance is so wonderful that my friends and neighbors ure all wondering what I have been doing with myself. When they ask me I just tell them I have been taking Tanlac, and it is a fact, for I have just finished my third bottle, and have gained !55 pounds. "When I began taking the medicine I only weighed 1U5 pounds, and now I weigh 140, and never felt better in my life. "1 always enjoyed very good health up to about two years ago, when I be gan having indigestion, which gradual ly developed into a bad form of stom ach trouble. This trouble began pull ing me down and I finally got so I could not eat anything at all scarcely, and had to diet myself -.intinually. I had to avoid sweets of all kinds, and always after eating I would suffer for hours. 1 was also very nervous and dizzy, and was easily tired. I finally got so weak I could not walk any distance without resting. My kidneys must have been affected also, for I had severe pains in my sides and back. ‘My sister, Mrs. Minnie Hull, came to see me one day and she looked so well I asked her what she had been tak ing. She told me Tanlac, and I made up my mind right then and there to give it a trial. "Acting on her advice, I bought a bottle and have been taking it regular ly since. Of course I expected it to help me, hut if anyone had told me that there was a medicine on earth that would have helped me like Tanlac I would not have believed them. ‘The medicine seemed to be just the one thing I needed, for it just filled me with new life and energy from the very first dose. In only a few days my ap petite returned and I began to enjoy my meals, and everything seemed to agree witli me and nourish me. "1 am no longer nervous and dizzy- headed like 1 was, and can now sleep like a child. In fact, I feel just like a person who had been made all over again. I hope every suffering woman will hear about it.” Tanlac is sold exclusively in Newnan by Odom Drug Co. Tanlac is sold exclusively in Moreland by L. S. & A. Q. Young.

"I consider Chamberlain's Cough Remedy by far the beat medicine in the market for colds and croup," says Mrs. Albert Blosst r, Lima, Ohio. Many others are i f the same opinion. Obtain able everywhere. David Leslie Brown In Cosmopolitan Magazine. Take time and make occasions to in quire into the purposes of life; think on Bound and basic principles. Eman cipate yourself from all that is unreal, dogmatic, hysterical. Be natural—be yourself. Do not blight your soul with words or vows you cannot live up to. Realize that all men are needful of but one thing — kindness; and that what the world needs most to effect its salvation is simple sincerity in mo tives and actions. To bring these tilings about you need to know, not be lieve. Repudiate that sort of faith which asks you to believe what you know to be false. We stand alone, we develop ourselves, though we are re sponsible to our fellow-men for the sort of lives we live. Nothing is ever given to us —we create. Others cannot create good in us; God Himself cannot. Through nature und men we got our lessons; this is the true revelation. The truth is in us. It is not controlled or dispensed exclusively' by any organiza tion or institution. Such ideas develop dependence and selfishness. Truth lives on independence; and it is univer sal, because it is the most personal thing in the world. Therefore prize your personality, and remember to keep it sacred. Rscommended for Croup. Coughs, colds, croup, hoarseness, in flamed throat, bronchial troubles or sore chest are relieved by Foley's Honey and Tar, which opens stopped air passages, soothes and heals inflamed surfaces, and restores normal breath ing. W. C. Allen, Boseley, Mo., says: "1 have raised a family of four children and used Foley's Honey and Tar with all of them. I find it the best cough and croup remedy 1 ever used. I used it for eight or ten years and can recom mend it for croup.” J. F. Lee Drug Co. Two young squirts with hair evenly balanced and well parted in the middle stood on the corner here Sunday after noon and whiled away the time by malting remarks about nearly every lady that passed them. This seems to be a favorite pasttime withsomeof the youngsters here, and it is about the lowest thing they could get to do. It is hard to say whether ordinary strang ling or plain shooting is best for a pair like that.—Bainbridge Post-Searchlight In Memory of J- B. Walker. Jas. B. Walker was born in Coweta county in 1845, and reared upon the farm, with the limited educational fa cilities of that time and place. In 1861 he enlisted under Capt. Sanders Lee in Co. A, Seventh Georgia regi ment. He had enlisted for a year, but when the time expired and his discharge was received, he immediately re-en- listed, this time in Co. K. of First Georgia Cavalry. He was in the bat tles of Yorklown, the seven days' fight at Richmond, Va., and was wounded at the battle of Sunshine church, Ga., at the time his brigade captured Gen. Stoneman. This necessitated a stay of three months in the hospital. After having recovered he returned to his company and remained until the end of the war. Upon his return he found his father so affected in mind by the loss of all his slaves as the result of the war that the young man was com pelled to take charge of his estate. In his management of this, as of all af fairs which came into his hands, his diligence in the discharge of duty, his faithfulness to every trust, were con stantly manifested. In 18(56 he married Miss Almeta P. Shell. He-had been a member of the Meth odist church, South, for a number of years. He was one of Coweta's leading citizens, and a fine type of Christian gentleman. He was 70 years old, and had been married 49 years. After a few weeks’ illness he died Dec. 8, 1915. He is survived by his wife and six children, three sons and three daughters—Mrs. W. F. Waldrop and Mrs. Tom McGough, of Turin; Mrs. E. D. Johnson of Elder’s Mill; John R., of Florida; Roland B. , of Michigan; and William C., of Turin. The remains were laid to rest in Old Tranquil ceme tery. J. S. R. Why You Should Use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Because it has an established reputa tion, won ov its good works. Because it is most esteemed by those who have used it. for many years, as occasion required, and are best ac quainted with its good qualities. Because it loosens and relieves a cold and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. Because it does not contain opium or any other narcotic. Because it is within the reach of all. It. only coats a quarter. Obtainable everywhere. Old-time Indians say every sign indi cates the approach of a long, cold win ter. They say squirrels have already begun storing up nuts, the bark to trees is thicker than ordinary, the sum mer has been abnormally cool and wet, the migration of birds has already started, and a dozen other signs which never fail, all go to forecast a severe winter. It is noticeable that the full- blood Cherokees in the Spavinaw coun try are making unusual preparations for winter. For the first time in years they have stored up a surplus of fuel and food, and they are advising their white brothers to do likew ise.—Tulsa (Okla.) World. A certain boy’s mother was away on a visit. The youngster attempted to write her a letter. "Papa,” he presently inquired, "how do you spell ‘Ike?’ ” "Ike,” answered papa, wisely, "is a proper name, so must be spelled with a capital letter. Otherwise there is but one way to spell it—I-k-e. ” By and by sonnie brought father his letter. "Dear Mother—Ikespect it’s almost time for you to come home.” Jefferson’s Ten Rules. Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to-day. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself. Never spend your money before you have earned it. Never buy what you don't want be cause it is cheap. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold. We seldom repent of having eaten too little. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly. How much pain the evils have cost us that never happened! Take things always by the smooth handle. When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, count one hun dred. _ Gentleness succeeds better than vio lence.

JOHN K. CATES DRUG CO., Newnan. Ga. Did Not Know He " Had Kidney Trouble “Until I applied for life insurance,” writes Andrew O'Donnell, Birming ham, Ala., "I did not know that I had kidney trouble, but four phy sicians who examined me for the com pany said I had, and each turned me down on account of this insidious trouble. Later I was seriously dis abled and used Foley Kidney Pills, and used them persistently, until now one of the same physicians says I’m all right and he will O. K. my’appli cation. I have caused many of my friends to buy Foley Kidney Pills.” Overworked kidneys may become inllamed and seriously diseased while the sufferer ignores the warnings.

YOU CAN GET POTASH FOR FERTILIZING Potash, for fertilizing, is scarcer than hen’s teeth. No use to look to Germany, the normal source of sup ply, for Potash can’t be gotten from there now. But you can get Potash right here at home, in fer tilizer which contains as a source of its ammonia COTTON SEED MEAL Every pound of Cotton Seed Meal, in addition to supplying from 71V to SC' of Ammonia, also contain 2i',o of Phosphoric Acid and an average of 2of Potash. When your fertilizer contains Cotton Seed Meal, it not only supplies your soil with the desired amount of ammonia, but also gives to it Potash in the most desirable form and in an amount larger than can be obtained front any other source of ammonia. In addition it furnishes over 2’7 of Phosphoric Acid, another most important and valuable element of plane food, which fact is not generally appreciated. The fact must not be lost sight of that in using Cotton Seed Meal you have a fertilizer which feeds the growing plant grad ually during its entire growth and leaves in the soil a most valuable humus with which to sustain succeeding crops. A demonstration recently conducted at the State College of Agriculture, extending over two years, proved that the best production per acre was made through the use of Cotton Seed Meal as a source of ammonia. When your fertilizer is based upon Cotton Seed Meal, it contains all that the other sources of ammonia have, and in addition, Potash, which the other sources have not.
