WOMEN URGED TO
BACK GAMPAIGN
FOR FOOD SAVING
Mrs. Samuel Inman, vice chairman
of the Georgia Council of Defense,
has written to the 152 county chair
men of the woman’s committee to get
behind the present campaign of fed
eral food administration in Georgia.
“It is the initiative step in our re
construction,” Mrs. Inman states. “It
is the one which relates us at pres
ent to the whole world. We are a
state rich in resources; our agricul
tural advantages are unlimited, and
now is the time for us to prove our
prosperity and share it with the
world.
“I would urge upon the women of
Georgia to bear in mind that no mat
ter whatever else is going to be giv
en us to do, that we follow the two
calls from the government that are
being made now, which are that we
aid in every possible way the cam
paign for food production and con
servation, and that we likewise aid
in any plans which will be presented
to.us in the matter of labor adjust
ments.
“Far from relaxing our defense
work we must go on with it, for it
not only concerns the results of the
war and conditions precipitated, but
it directly bears upon our future as a
state and a nation. We are begin
ning a new era in our civilization,!
and let us build on a good, sound
foundation. Let us not go on in the
happy-go-lucky way we once did, and
which found us in a woeful state of
unpreparedness when the war call
came.
Let us begin now to take advant
age of previous experiences, to make
better every department of our life
as a commonwealth—as a part of the
nation.”
PUT UP A TOOL SHED ON
THE FARM THIS WINTER
Numerous investigations of the
farm machinery question have thor
oughly established the fact that the
life of farm machinery depends
mainly upon the owner. The same
machine lasts twice, three or four
times as long with one man as it
does with another. This difference
in the life of a machine is largely
due to shelter and lack of shelter.
The deterioration in plows, cultivat
ors, seeders, fertilizer distributors,
threshers, wagons and other machin
ery through lack of shelter is appall
ing. |
There should be a machine shed
on every farm to protect farm tools,
implements and machinery from the
sunshine and rain. The building need
not be expensive. There must, of
course, be ample protection against
sun, rain and wind and proper drain
age to insure dry storage. The lo
cation must be convenient so as to
be easily reached with all kinds of
farm machinery. It ought to be so
constructed that it is as easy to put
the implements and machinery un-|
Jder shelter as it is to leave them out,
and it oughi also to be so arranged'
that the implements and machines
can be gotten out for use without
any great inconvenience.
A very convenient and inexpensive
shed consists of a building of medi
urf width, say 18 or 20 feet, the
length being governed by the num
ber of implements to be housed. A
building 18x25 feet usually furnishes
ample room for the implements used
on the average 160-acre cotton belt
farm.
The shed need not be built very
high unless one desires storage on
the second floor. Seven feet to the
eaves is enough. The floor should
be made of cinders, gravel or ce
ment from six inches to a foot above
the outside surface level of the
ground to insure drainage and avoid
dampness.—The Progressive Farmer.
DON’T BURN FERTILIZER |
There are still some people who
pile up and burn the cotton or corn
stalks. This is absolutely inexcus
able, as the soil badly needs the hu
mus and the stalks can easily be cut
into small pieces and turned under.
Of course, the stalks should be cut
and plowed under in the winter so
that they will decay before planting
time; however, if it is impossible to
plow the land before early spring
the stalks should be cut into short
pieces with a good stalk cutter as
soon after the crop is gathered as
possible. Cut up in this way, they
will rot more quickly and can be
turned under to furnish humus, the
thing most needed on the average soil.

Early Christmas
~ Shopping
Common sense suggests the policy
of early Christmas shopping, as well
as the patriotic request which is be
ing made for it, because of the war
conditions which still exist in trade
and labor.
The matter of whether or not peo
ple observe Christmas in giving is
one which the individual must decide
for himself or herself; also the man
uer of giving or the gift. Nobody
has ever wished in the economic
measures suggested for Christmas
during war times to destroy the spirit
of Christmas, or to take from it one
iota of the religious or personal sen
timent of it.
But it has been the desire of the’
government and the war relief agen
cies that the gifts take more the form
ot those brought by the Wise Men
when they went direct to the little
Prince of Peace in the stable at Beth
lehem, when the gifts were expressed
more in the spirit, than in the mater-i
ial way. |
Our own wise men of today have
|cautiously advised ever since this‘
war began that in no way should our
l patriotism take hysterical or irra
tional form, but that it is possible to
give and give for the successful ter
mination of the war and for the care
of our boys at home and overseas,
and at the same time to the up-keep
and prosperity going on.
| Never has a nation’s generosity
been more surely tested than has our
nation’s since the beginning of this
war, and never in the history of the
world has a nation been more contin
uously and royally beneficent, yet
that very beneficence could not have
been kept up to the mark, had there
not been guiding forces to keep busi
ness and general prosperity going
on, as nearly as possible, in a nor
mal way.
Now it is just that condition which
the government is urging through the
Council of National Defense which
should be kept up in every was pos
sble, for there is going to have to
be almost as much money necessary
in the preparation for peace as there
}has been in preparation for war. Our
‘reconstruction work is going to be
an enormously expensive proposition,
and is going to require much gui
dance from the wise men as they
have given to the war problems.
The incident of early Christmas
shopping is just one of those which,
if intelligently pursued, will add to
the preservation of normal conditions,
and at the same time do its part for
the preservation of trade conditions,
and not take from the funds which
the American people still must hus
band in order to take care of the
armies overseas and the results of
the war here at home.
The common sense end of the mat
ter has always been the same. There
has always been a folly about that
Christmas buying which comes the
To Avoid and Relieve Influenza
BY DR. FRANKLIN DUANE.
Many people have been frightened by
what they have read or heard of influenza.
The more you fear the disease, the surer
you are to get it. Go right about your
business and forget it. As the disease is
spread principally by contact thru sneez
ing, coughing or spitmimi, many health au
thorities have advised that everyone wear
a gauze, which is daily washed and satur
ated with a one to five hundred solution
of zinc sulphate in water, and then dried
before wearing over the nose and mouth.
You should avoid crowds, common drink
ing cups and public towels. Keep your
strength up by taking lots of exercise in
+he open air and plent{ of nourishing food.
If you have any of such sgmgt.oms as
chilliness, nasal obstructions, flushed face,
headache, feverishness, restlessness, weak
ness, or irritating cougrh, give up work at
once and go to bed. This will save your
strength to help overcome the disease. Put
vour feet in hot water for fifteen minutes.
'.l‘horoughly loosen the bowels with some
such mild and non-irritating physicas Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Drink princi
pally of hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty of clothes in bed so as to get
a goo(r sweat. When sweating is free and
the fever reduced take a dose of two An
uric Tablets every four hours, followed by
drinking at least a glass or two of hot
water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to
relieve the soreness of the muscles and
bones from which most patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the poisons.
To relieve nasal obstructions and
excessive discharge from the nose, prob
abty nothing is better than such a mild,
soothing, antiseptic wash as Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy. It will give great
relief. Employed as a gargle, in same
strength as made up for use in the nose,
and as hot as can be borne, it (Luickly ar

Jofluenza weakens the patient’s resist
ance 1o disease, so that there is danger of
bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To
combat this tendency and fortify the E:(;
tients’s strength insist that he keep in
at jeast Two gays. Probably nothing will
at thiu stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen t.%e Pat.ient more than an iron
tonje tablet called ® Irontic” or that well
wnowr nerbal tonic, Dr. Pierce's Golden
l Meuical Dlscovex. which has been _used
b, vhousands in the past two generations,
week of Christmas and the day be
fore. Such methods have always been
a disadvantage to both the trades
people and the purchaser.
- The people who really enjoy giv
ing are those who go about it care
fully and reasonably; who purchase
gifts not to fulfill an obligation or
do it for some selfish reason, but those
who really give for the pleasure giv
ing is to them, and the desire they
feel to please and make happy—oth
ers.
Those people have always known
the art of giving at Christmas. They
are the ones who are doing their
shopping now. They may be found
early in the morning with their lists
and a serious business-like look upon
their faces. They are doing what the
government wishes. They are con
sidering the interests of the trades
people and the hard-worked employ
ees, and they are taking further into
