_ .... Andrew M. Soule
THE AGRICULTURAL SITUATION
« Theoretically, the war ceased with
the signing of the armistice on No
vember 11, ISIS. Practically, we
have had to meet and deal with war
conditions ever since that time. The
dislocation which the world strife
brought to our industries has been
further aggravated by the unremit
ting struggle which has gone for
•ward between labor and capital.
Thus, instead of recuperating and
gathering together all the forces of
the nation into constructive unity
of effort, we have further dissipated
and impaired our reserve stores of
raw materials ’and manufactured
goods. As a result, there has been
a marked increase in the cost of liv
ing which is affecting the tempei* and
disposition of our people materialy.
Existing conditions are lowering
our standard of living because the
purchasing power of the dollar has
so greatly depreciated and on ac-'
count of the crowding into towns
and cities of a part of our population
which, under normal conditions,
would have remained in the open
country. Rural workers, observing
the proposed short hours of labor
and the high wages paid by indus
tries have irrationally concluded that
they would materially better their
condition by moving into the towns
and cities already under-supplied
with housing facilities. Thus,
there is a marked tendency to mini
mize agricultural production and to
further raise the costs of foods by
decreasing the supply. Wages, in so
far as our agriculture is concerned,
have almost reached prohibitive fig
ures. The supply of worker's is much
below the requirements of the situ
ation. It has been suggested by com
petent statisticians that we need
two million more workers on our
farms than are available at this tipie.
If we are to feed our people ade
quately at prices which will give the
producer a reasonable profit and
which the consumer can afford to
pay.
It is evident those who have
studied the situation that the area
Planted to crops is smaller than usual
and the prospects of a good yield on
account of unfavorable weather con
ditions are not now encouraging. Just
how shall we undertake to meet the ■
situation which has arisen is there
fore a question of national and even
international concern, for America up
to this time has been looked upon as
a sort of food storage house for the
world. The first and most important
thing to do is to go to work and to
hoi
stop bickering and arguing over mat
ters of insignificance as compared
with the real issues at stake.
The seebnd thing is to realize that
there has-been a wonderful let-down
in our enthusiasm which we must
make an earnest effort to recover.
Thousands of individuals who were
spurred on to activity bjfc war condi
tions have lost their interest and zeal
in production. The city gardener is
largely a thing of the past and tne
retired farmer who was active in aid
ing the county when faced by a great
crisis is, for the most part, again
devoting himself to rest and leisure.
People who* made money out of their
crops last year do not seem to be able
to realize 4s yet that it svill not last
forever; and so they are not pushing
the operation of the farms now with
the vigor which characterized them
in previous years.
There is also dissatisfaction on the
part of the landowner with the prices
ne has received for his crops. There
is a general impression in the public
mind that the farmer should be
classed as a profiteer. This is a
gross and outrageous«error, for while
the farmer has undoubtedly had fa
vorable prices during recent times, he
was the last to benefit by the in
crease, and he will be the fifst ot suf
fer by the recession of prices. In
any event, he has not been able to
fix his profits above the cost of pro
duction ont he grossly unjust and un
fair scale which \z.is followed by many
industries and individuals who have
profiteered in a scandalous manner
at the expense of the public.
The farmer has about concluded
that it is not incumbent upon him
longer to feed the public without
just reward for his effort. The
position he assumed is eminently
fair and just. In many instances,
those cultivating the soil have raised
and sold their crops at prices which
did not provide a decent living for
their families. In many instances,
they have failed to make a profit.
Granting that under certain circum
stances a part of the trouble was
due to their own limitations, what
other industry would undertake to
serve the essential needs of the na
tion without a profit?
From my point of view, the time
has arrived when the farmer is en
titled to the same treatment as the
railroads, for instance, which are
guaranteed by the government a
standard return on their investments.
Whenever we apply the principles of
justice, equity and fairness to the
problems of the farm, we will be
able to correct in large measuftes
the conditions by which we are noSV
confronted. Until then, we must suf
ger the ills of the present, and
they may even assume in so far as
the high cost of living is concerned
a more aggravated form. Even un
der existing conditions, I hold that
crop production could be stimulated
and Increased materially if the land
owner and operator felt that he could
find a market for his crops which
would afford him a fair margin of
profit.
It Is true that there will be an
apparent deficiency in food supplies
next fall that will cause mqch suf
fering and unhappiness throughout
the country. There are those who
believe that the farmer is not doing
his duty. There are those who wish
to berate him all the time and to
charge him with many crimes of
which he is not guilty. The sooner
the people living in the towns and
cities realize the right of the farmer
to live, to thrive and to make an
increment on his labor, the better
off they will be. Decaying the other
fellow gets us nowhere, and most of
the statements relative to the prof
its made by farmers have been gross
ly exaggerated and are not based on
facts which can be satisfactorily
substantiated. A new era has dawned
upon our agriculture, if you please.
The “worm has turned,’ and those
who have danced so long and lived
in luxury at the expense of the farm
er must make up their minds to
"pay the fiddler” in the future. The
sooner they do this, the better it will
be and the more rapidly will the con
ditions by which we are now con
-1 fronted adjust themselves.
I Un£er the stress of war conditions,
| Georgia made a phenomenal record
i along agricultural lines. In 1917,
a well defined plan of crop. produc
tion was worked out. In that year,
the output of our farms reached the
surprising figure of $548,544,000.00.
In 1918, an enlarged program was
| presented, and our farmers responded
j by raising $590,292,000.00 worth of
I farm crops. The goal for 1919 wus
! set at $625,000,000.00 because of the
need of supplying our brothers across
I the water with some of the food
1 they needed and which they could
, not secure from any other source.
This goal was also attained. In ad
dition thereto, we provided ourselves
and our neighbors with $125,000,-
000.00 worth of animal products.
Thus, the total output of our crops
and animals last year reached the as
tonishing figure of $750,000,000.00.
It cannot be said that seasonal
conditions were especially favorable,
that labor or fertilizers were abun
dant or easy to obtain. We did not
have any surplus of agricultural im
plements or live stock with which to
operate our lands. In spite of that
fact, we presented to the world new
wealth aggregating three-fourths of
a billion dollars in value. We did
this through the cultivation in only
a semi-intensive fashion of one-third
of our landed area.
11 respectfully direct your attention
to the fact, therefore, that Georgia
now stands sixth in agricultural pro
duction and seventeenth in animal
production and that she is rapidly on
the way to becoming a billion dol
lar state. We can certainly attain
this position whenever conditions
warrant it. This is a fact of such
tremendous economic and potential
importance that I wish to empha
size It as strongly as possible Tie
cause I think comparatively few of
our people yet realize or understand
the great possibilities which lie ahead
in Georgia through the instlt.ju.ion
and organization of better methods
of farm practice. In this connection,
I wish to ask that if one-third of our
cultivated lands will enable us to
raise crops and animals worth $750,-
000,000, what may we anticipate in
the future if we double, as we eas
ily can, yields per acre or bring un
der the plow twice as much land as
we are now cultivating?
Georgia will eventually become a
two or even a three billion dollar
state agriculturally. To accomplish
this will call for the training and
sending forth of a great army of men
and women,, so that effective leader
ship and direction may be given to
the maintenance and development of
our vast and far-reaching»farming
enterprises on a safe and sane basis.

CONTROLLING THE SOURING OF
MILK
A. L. W., Collins, Ga., writes:
I am having some trouble with
my milk. The whey eats up my
cream and the clabber and milk
taste bitter. What can I do to
prevent this trouble?
In handling a situation such as you
describe, proceed as follows:
Milk when it is first taken from
the cow should be immediately areat
ed and cooled to remove the animal
odor from it. When this is done it
will keep much longer in a swe'et and
wholesome condition. The end in
view may be accomplished by pour
ing the milk in a thin stream from
one bucket to * another in a place
where the air is fresh and clean. The
milk should then be chilled by means
of ice, or by putting it in a con
tainer built on the order of an Ice
less refrigerator. The rapid evapora
tion of the water thus provided for
helps to reduce the temperature by
several decrees. As soon as the milk
begins to turn sour, or develop lactic
acid, it should be churned and undeu
these conditions an excellent separa
tion of the butter will be obtained.
The bitter taste to which you re
fer may be due to the invasion of
the milk by an undesirable bacteria,
or it may be due to the cows eating
bitter weed. In that event, the trou
ble is easily corrected by keeping
the cow out of weed-infested pas
tures. If the trouble arises from the
other cause, you should immediately
scald all vessels and expose them
to the sun for several hours each
day.
It is of the utmost importance
that the scalding be thoroughly and
effectively done, and you should per
sist in the treatment suggested un
til* the trouble js entirely removed.
SELECTIWG A VAMBTT OF PEA-
NUTS
H. S. 8., Berzelia, Ga., writes:
What variety of peanuts do you
recommend both for hog grazing
and for gathering for sale? Also
give me what information you
can as to planting, fertilizing and
cultivating.
Peanuts may be planted in your
section of Georgia as late as July 15,
with chances of making a fairly sat
isfactory crop. Early planting is, of
course, to be preferred, so the sooner
you can accomplish this end the bet
ter it .will be. Peanuts may be
planted, as a matter of fact, from
May 1 on in this state. You would
use one to two bushels of seed per
acre A larger amount should be
planted in the case of Spanish or
brush sorts. The larger growing
varieties should be given more room.
The Spanish peanut offers one of the
best varieties to plant for forage and
for grazing down by hogs. It is an
early heavy bearer of the bush type
and is very easily cultivated. While
.he nuts are small, they are very
sweet and have a fine flavor. This
is the crop grown largely in this
lection of the state. The North Caro
lina running peanuts is also an ex
cellent variety for use in this section
of the state. It is one of the surest
cropping sorts. The nuts are larger
than in the case of the Spanish va
riety. The Valencia is ak:u a good
sort. It is large in size and has
a number of nuts or kernels, with a
mild flavor. . ... .
In planting peanuts one snould
seed them in rows about 3 1-2 feet
apart. Plant the nuts about two teet
in the drill. They should be culti
vated and kept free of weeds and
crass during the early stages of
growth. When they begin to peg
down all cultivation should cease.
Land selected for this crop should be
fairly light or friable in character.
It should be limed at the rate of 1,-
000 pounds per acre. Crushed lock
or oyster shell may be used for this
purpose. Scatter the lime broadcast
over the land and harrow it in. Use
300 pounds Os acide phosphate and
100 pounds of kainlt as a fertilizer.
Mix the two together and distribute
under the drills at or before the time
of planting the peanuts.
AUNT JULIA’S
LETTER BOX
Dear Children: I have just received a letter from Yvonne. You
know our money is paid to her in quarterly instalments, and I am not
going to wait to have this letter translated to give you her message of
love and gratitude for your beautiful generosity. She says our help
has meant so much, when everything is so high and scarce. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia: Will you admit another
Georgia girl into your happy bund? As
this is my first time I will promise not
to stay long. I am going to describe my
self. I am 17 years old, have black hair,
light brown eyes, and am five feet three
inches tall.
If any of you cousins care to write to
me let your letters fly to
NELLIE AARON.
Jlillen, Ga. Route C. Box 78.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Have you
room in your corner for two more Geor
gia boys? We will promise not to stay too
long. Will leave j'ast before Mr. W. IJ.
comes by.
Like most of the cousins we live on the
farm. We are not brothers, only cousins.
As it is the rule we will describe our
selves. Wait, girls, till the show is over,
don’t run yet. I, Abe, have dark brown
hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. I am
5 feet 6 inches high and weigh 135 pounds.
I, George, have brown hair, grey eyes
and dark complexion, 5 feet 4 inches high
and weigh 125 pounds. Our age is between
17 and 20.
Now girls, if you want to write to two
good-looking boys let your letters fly to
Your new cousins,
ABE. AND GEORGE DUNAWAY,
Lumpkin,’ Ga., Route 4.
I am not going to describe myself, you
might run. I am ten years old. Will be
eleven years old In July. My birthdgy is
the Bth of July. If any of you cousins
have my birthday please write me. I
wiftt all of you to write me though. I
have no pets but I have some cute little
nieces. Here are their ages and names:
Hazel Doke is four years old. Sybil Doke
is 2 years. Shirley is four months old. Lula
Edwards write to me. I am an Edwards.
Perhaps we are kin.
Cousins, don’t you think Aunt Julia is
good? Aunt Julia, please put yours and
Yvonne’s picture in print. I have four
sisters and one brother living.
What do you all do for pastime? I play
the piano and phonograph and tat. My
sister has a kodak and we take pictures.
We have pretty green grass in front of
iny house and it sure is pretty to take
pictures. I will close with a riddle. Why
is the “u” in cucumber like the Isthmus
of Zoo? Please print this Auntie.
Your cousin,
A* C. EDWARDS.
Lumpkin, Ga., Mar. 17, 1920.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: —May I
come in for a little while this morning?
I am not a new cousin. I wrote to the
letter box about two years ago. My letter
was printed and I heard from a great
many of the cousqis, and appreciated the
letters I received very much.
I was ‘'Sweet 16” then. Os course I
am a little older now, but I don’t feel
very old yet.
I was a school girl then. I never did
finish school. I stopped in the tenth grade
and began teaching. My class will grad
uate from the eleventh grade this year
and sometimes I wish I had completed
school before I began teaching.
I guess I don’t need to describe my
self, as most of you remember I did be
fore. Will just say that 1 am a blonde.
How do you cousins like this rainy
weather? I think it is just awful. Some
of you girls who make tatting write to
me and lets exchange samples, I have
some pretty designs for yokes, collars, baby
caps, medallions, Insertion and edging, and
would be glad to exchange for new sam
ples.
Os course you boys don’t tat, but we
will find something to exchange, letters if

Dear Aunt Jtilia and Cousins: I have
bceu a silent reader of the Letter Box for
a long time, and have just now decided
to write. What do you cousins do for pas
time? I go to school and read books. I am
in the seventh grade. As it is. the rule
for the cousins to describe themselves, I
will do likewise. I have blond hair, blue
eyes, medium complexion, weigh 93 pounds
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am coming to you for some ad
vice. lam not like most of the girls,
lonely. I have been going and cor
responding with a young man about
my age. I think more of him than
any of my boy friends, but he quit
coming and writing about two
months ago and did not tell me the
reason he quit. He has writen me
again begging me to let him , come
back and asking me to forgive him.
Should I let him come back to see
me, or talk to someone else? There
is another boy calls on me three
times a week, but I don’t care for
him like I (Jo this other boy, though
he seems to think a lot of me and is
a real nice boy and is thought lots
of by everybody. This boy that quit
coming asked me not to talk to any
one else but him, and I wouldn’t do
it. Do you think that ig the reason
that he quit?
Thanking you for your advice, and
hoping to see this in The Journal
early, I am, BROWN EYES.
It seems the irony of fate to
fall in love with those who fall
out with us. But the only way
to conquer it in the end, is grin
and bear it. The trouble with so
many girls, they let a boy see
right away how crazy about them
they can be, and that disgusts a
man. The art of persuing arouses
all of the man’s sporting instinct,
and they do not like to leave the
race unless they come away con
queror. If women would«only
get that idea in their heads (girls
and women, I mean). What fun
would it be if a man had a game
of ball handed to him when he
didn’t even throw the ball, or
any other "game? And so the
game of love is exactly the same.
A girl falls on a man’s neck,
gets a “half Nelson clinch,” then
wonder why he wants to break
away. I wouldn’t forgive him
so quickly. He had no right to
ask you to give up your ot “ e V
friends for him, unless he asked
you to marry him. And you will
be foolish to do so. Girls let the
boys do them any way, and won
der why it is they are not able to
hold their love.
Here I come to you for advice. I
am 16 years old and am in love with
a boy age 20. We have been, talking
for about 5 months, but quit some
time ago and never talked any for
about two months and I saw him
again last Saturday night at a dance
and we talked then. He says he
loves me dearly and I know I love
him better than any one else. He
goes with other girls when he is not
with- me, but never goes with them
when he is where I am at except
while we were mad and he went
with one girl twice then. He says he
only goes with other girls when he
is not with me to pass off the time.
Do you think he cares for me? This
boy is very bad to drink, but I do
not care for that. I don’t think I
ever can love anyone else. This boy
tells others he loves me more than
any one else. Do you think he means
it? Please print this in The Jour
nal and give me your best advice.
BLUE EYES.
I cannot tell whether the
young man loves you or not, as
lam no mind reader. If he says
he does, and doesn’t do anything
to lead you to believe otherwise
why then you will have to be
lieve him. It is too bad, though,
he cares for drink, because after
one drink nine times out of ten it
changes a man’s thoughts, and
one drink calls for another and
young girls are not safe with a
drinking man, especially if that
man has an automobile and
takes her out for drives. This is
a fast age we are living in and
young girls allow now-
and am 5 feet 5 inches tall. I am fifteen
years of age. I will answer all letters and
cards received.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please let

I am a reader of the Letter Box—certainly

in the country, seven miles from Eastman,
and two miles from Gressto.n. I love the
country life. Would not exchange it no time
for city life. We have a very good school
here, although it closed Friday on account
of labor situation until June 14. Cousins,
how are your flowers? I’m a lover of
pretty flowers; have me a flower garden;
have few roses started and have plenty
phlox, petunias, pansies, snap dragons,
heliotrope, four o'clocks, zennias, verbenas,
coleus, salvia, cannas, and have different
kinds of winter flowers, such as jonquils,
etc., and have fine box flowers. Want to
order some ferns, geraniums, begonias, hy
drangea and other pot plants. More of you
cousins write about your flowers and let’s
exchange ideas about them. I also love to
raise chickens. We have Rhode Island Reds
and Plymouth Rocks. We raise turkeys,
too. I do not go to school, so you see I
spend my time with good books, embroid
ering, crocheting, and have been quilting
some, too. How many of you have read
“Stepping Heavenward?” I have just fin
ished it. Sure is good.
Aunt Julia certainly is good to ns, don’t
you think? Wasn’t it cute about her hen?
Guess I had better close, as this is my
first visit. You won’t let me come again
if I stay so long, eh? Will not describe
myself this time. All of you write me and
I’ll describe myself in a personal letter.
Will answer them all. My age is between
eighteen and twenty. Please print this,
Aunt Julia. Oceans of love to you all.

WILMA LOWE.

adays that shock many mar
ried women, and it certainly
does not heighten a man’s re
spect for her. I have had them
to tell me, unless they cut up
and acted flip the boys wouldn’t
notice them. Yes they will, that
is a wrong idea, men have al
ways respected and appreciated
a good pure woman, and they
will continue as long as life
lasts. But that does not mean
that girls cannot be jolly and en
joy themselves in a wholesome
way without being classed
“sticks.”
We are two young girls of thirteen
and fourteen years coming to you for
advice as we are ashamed to consult
our mothers so please, please give
us your best advice. I am thirteen
and am engaged to a widower of
thirty-eight years. We will be mar
ried Christmas. His wife has been
dead two years. He has two chil
dren, a boy and a girl, and I am
simply crazy over them, so please
give me your advice in the next is
sue of The Jorunal as I want to
prepare.
I am fourteen and am engaged to
be married to a widower of forty
years. We are going to be married
Christmas. He has four children and
he seems to be good to them. Please
answer soon.
LONELY JACK AND BILL.
The idea of a thirteen-year-old
child like you talking about mar
riage, and worst of all to a wid
ower almost old enough to be
your grandfather. And the most
tragic thing, think of you being
stepmother to those two children.
Some one ought to tar and feath
er that man for putting such
nonsense in your head, and your
mother ought to give you a good
spanking and send you to bed
for having such thoughts. Child,
you are wrong, very wrong.
Where does your mother stay
that she doesn’t know of this
affair of yours? And as for you,
fourteen, the same medicine
should be handed out to that silly
old widower, and the spanking
administered to you. Take my
advice and stay away from men
like those who would destroy
your lives.

TUESDAY,'JULY 13, 1920.
The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
Were Automobiles Invented by His
Satanic Majesty?
So declares Dr. Len G. Broughton,
LL. D., addressing a missionary as
sociation in Knoxville, Tenn. He also
told them the devil never made a
“shrewder invention.” He says the
devil gets active service from them.
Says Dr. Broughton: “It has come
to such a pass that one-third of a
city congregation will be away from
Sunday services driving in the coun
try or to some mountain or water
resort having a good time on Sun
day.”
He is trying to fix up his church
fences, as will be apparent from this
reading.-One old lady can safely re
ply that spirited and gospel-spread
ing religion can induce even auto
mobilists to attend Sunday services.
Billy Sunday held forth In Atlanta
some months ago and the outside soil
was crammed with automobiles that
had been attracted thereby, packed
and jammed.
I can also say that automobiles
are man killers and women and chil
dren killers. It is a common every<-
day story of these violent deaths
from Rabun Gap to Tyfyee Light in
Georgia. We have had in my imme
diate section some of such and most
awful slaughters of human life that
were ever known in our history.
Furthermore, little boys and small
girls are allowed to preside as auto
drivers in crowded streets to the
imminent danger of. all In the ma
chine and a menace to all they meet
outside of it on public streets and
highways.
If there was not a Providence
which watches over the lame and the
lazy everywhere we would be horri
fied every time these inexperienced
children are at the guiding wheel of
automobiles. It is so easy to run
into other machines and to strike
telephone poles, or to plunge over a
high place, or for an engine to “go
dead” in dangerous places, or to
“turn turtle*’ in even a shallow ditch,
that I am always nervous to see
them going like mad with a “speed
fiend” look showing out in their
very eyes. I think Dr. Broughton
has some reason to call automobiles
the “devil’s invention.”
Women at Presidential Conventions
To an old body like myself, one
who has been studying politics for
half a century, the printed descrip
tion of women getting so excited that
they were lifted to the shoulders of
political shouters in California and
went along the aisles carrying ban
ners and shouting for candidates, was
a very astonishing feature of the
Frisco * convention —to me.
I hardly suppose we will-ever see
nice southern ladies—figuring along
on similar lines—in Georgia poli
tics, and when the Georgia delegates
were voting vociferously for votes
for women in Frisco, it was also as
tonishing to remember that oqr
Georgia legislators are obstinately
opposed to woman suffrage. Not a
single womaji from Rabun Gap to
Tybee light can vote for president
or governor or congressman, and it
was a commentary on consistency
to elect a Savannah woman a na
tional committeeman ip Frisco, “when
she couldn’t vote for coroner—ln the
town where she lives”—down here
in Georgia.
When people go 3,000 miles from
home to nominate a president they
shouldn’t put on such airs simply
show off—when they are fully aware
that their political adherents here at
home are opposing giving the ballot
privilege to their own wives and
mothers.
Some of the political ladies were
norated in the newspapers as having
clothes and jewels fit for crowned
heads in Europe. Again it strikes
an old body unpleasantly to hear of
women in public affairs dressed (or
undressed) like they were going to
a ball or party or the front row at
opera.
All such performances, such as rid
ing oh a man’s shoulders in a howling
mob of half-crazy politicians, at a
presidential convention, will cast dis
credit on votes for women and dis
count all the valuable work that
earnest ivomen in years gone by were
struggling to accomplish for the bet
terment of mankind, especially chil
dren.
iSwi
How Many Women Are Like This?
Can anything be moie wearing for women than the ceaseless
round of household duties? Oh! the monotony of it all—r
work and drudge; no time to be sick; tired, ailing, yet can
not stop. There comes a time when something “snaps” and
they find themselves “ simply worn out,” and to make matters
worse, have contracted serious feminine disorder which almost
always follows the constant overtaxing of a woman’s strength.
Then they should remember that there is no remedy like
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound—the expe
rience of these two women establishes that fact:
Cedar Rapids, la.—“ After the
birth of my last child I had such
painful spells that would unfit me
entirely for my housework. I suf
fered for months and the doctor said
that my trouble was organic ulcers
and I would have to have an opera
tion. That was an awful thing to
me, with a young babyand four other
children, so ono day I thought of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound and how it had helped
me years before and I decided to try
it again. I took five bottles of Vege
table Compound and used Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Sanative Wash and since
then I have been a well woman, able
to take care of my house and family
without any trouble or a day’s pain,
I am ready and thankful to swear by
your medicine any time. lam forty
four years old and have nothad a day’s
illness of any kind for three years.’’

How to Treat
A Torpid Liver
The liver is the largest and most
important organ -in the body, ana
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and linear
shoulder blades and under rjbs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immediate
ly. *
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry into the system tne
impurities that the liver and kidneys
have failed to eliminate. .
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of , your
trouble, and that is why you have to
take purgatives every few nikht®*
Calomel or other ordinary laxatives
do not go far enough. If y°R would
treat your kidneys and blood wniw
treatirig the liver you would put
your entire system in order and fre
quent purgatives would then be un
necessary. .
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study * and
research, compounded what is now
known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
tion for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
It is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you UK*
while taking it.
Get a large tin box fi;om your*
druggist or dealer for 25c, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to- healthy action ana
thereby purify the blood. Keep it in
the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins
to feel “out of sorts.” It will prove
a household friend and valuable
remedy.—(Advt.)

All Worn Out Women Should Take
Sandusky, Ohio.—“ After thebirth
of my baby I had organic trouble. ’
My doctor said it was caused by
too heavy lifting and I would
have to have an operation. I
would not consent to an operation
and let it go for over a year, hating
my sister do my work for me as I
was not able to walk. One day my
aunt came to see me and tola me
about your medicine —said it cured
her of the same thing. I took Lydia
