Permanent Tire On Way; Metal Foil
For Buriys; Fluid Removes Wallpaper
American industrial research
is at work on a tire that will last
as long as your car. A new liquid
wallpaper remover that can be
sprayed or brushed on requires
a minimum of scraping. The use
of sterilized aluminum foil for
severe heat bums has been
shown to quicken and almost
eliminate scarring. These are
among the aids to better living
reported by McCall’s in the Na
tional Newsletter for January:
"Akron, Ohio reports a tire
that will last as long as your car
as one of the things that will
come, someday, out of current
continuing research by the in
dustry. Meanwhile, rubber streets
are getting a try-out here. The
new surface, made of a synthetic
rubber mix, is expected to wear
longer and ride better. The idea
is European: Hitler invaded
Holland over just such a rubber
road.
"Durham, N. H. news says that
rats can’t stand a laminated ply
wood now on the market to repel
them. It is light in weight, but
impervious to the gnawing of
rats. It’s easy for average house
holders to use, but its big market
is likely to be people with chick
en roosts and corn bins.

FARM MECHANIZATION I
Despite the rapid advance in i
farm mechanization in Georgia, j
farmers in this state are general- i
ly less mechanized than else
where in the country except in
neighboring states. About one
third of the crop land in Georg-1
ia was broken by tractors in j
1948.

GIVING A DOG AWAY
The following is an interesting
Georgia story from The Sunny
South, Atlanta, Ga.. April 6, 1889.
Max and Moritz were the only
male youngsters in the family.
The first named one day brought
a dog home, a horrid ugly creat
ure, to the disgust of the female
portion of the household. At
length the oldest of the sisters
persuaded little Max to take the
dog back where he found it, or
give it away, and gave him
threepence for his trouble. Max
started off with the cur and
returned in half an hour,
munching the remains of the
last of the nuts he had bought
with his sister’s money.
“Well, what have you done
with that ugly brute?” The lat
ter inquired.
“Give it to Monitz,” was the
reply.
Let It Go and Enjoy a Duet
Willie was destined to be a
great violinist —at least so
thought his mother.
But one evening, while Willie
was practicing on his fiddle, she
got a bit of a shock. Her husband
stamped in from the garden and
glared at his son.
“Why didn’t you tell me that
Willie was going to practice on
his violin tonight?” he demanded
“I’ve spent half an hour oiling
the gate!”

W. B. Rose, highly respected
physician of LaFollette, Tenn.,
writes: "Several years ago I en
dorsed Scalf’s Indian River
Medicine as of recognized merit
in that it is a splendid stomachic
medicine and appetizer, offering
relief from such symptoms as
smothering gas pressure pains
after eating which often cause
loss of rest and sleep; and from
a weak, tired, rundown feeling
loss of weight and strength, due
to undernourishment when
brought on by poor appetite. I
am a great believer in herbal
medicines and I know that the
herbs contained in Scalf’s In
dian River Medicine have merit.”
If you are suffering the
agonizing pains of gaseous stom
ach distress, or if you feel weak,
tired and rundowm because a
poor appetite has robbed you of
proper nourishment ,then try
Scalf’s Indian River Medicine.
