T A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. It
l. spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat
and the pauper. the masses and the class
es are alike subject to la grippe. None
are exempt-all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? Grip is well named.
The original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Amer1-
can to read grip" Without intending
to do so new word has been coined
that exactly describes the case. AS II
some hideous giant with awful GRIP had
clutched us in it's fatal clasp. Men,
women, and children, whole towns and
cities are caught in the baneful grip OF
terrible monster.

This glorious southland offers a
thousand opportunities to the wide

find it hard to find soft places. But

We are already buying more tina, wa

Georgia in particular went wild an

we buy more economically and wisely.
We should use more per acre. hut the
acre should be better prepared SO as
to get more profit from the use. We
should not buy any more fertilizer
than we can pay cash for. Buying fer
hlizers on time is hurtful business.
1t is not good farming. Every note
given for fertilizer is mortgage upon
the crop before 1t is planted. These
notes hurt us in many ways.
Again, the cotton seed from last
years crop will pay for the fertilizers
for this year. The farm should be self
supporting. Buying fertilizers on time
encourages laziness and thriftlessness.
Many idle away the precious days
for preparation and say, Oh well, we
can get fertilizers on time and make
cotton on that land any how, even if
we do not prepare it as we ought. They
substitute fertilizers for work. Thus
laziness is encouraged.
The simple fact that they can buy
fertilizers on credit, encourages men to
buy other things on credit Men who

Some said it was Iumbago, Others Sciatica,
and others again Rheumatism. A few Of
my friends suggested that it was lead
poison, but whatever it was it gave me a
great deal of pain, in fact, almost COM
pletely crippled me. l had to use two
canes to walk about and even then it was
very painful task.
"a friend advised me to try Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and began the treatment: After
l had used the first box I was able to
throw away one Of the canes and was con-
siderably improved. The second box
Strengthened me up SO that l could go
about free from pain without any assist
ance and very soon after was complete
ly cured, well and happy, without pam
or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed
to go right to the spot in my case and
they will always have my greatest praise.

AND He GOT IT.
But 1t Proved to Be Something HI
Didn't Care to Hold
Very Long.

An indulgent mother Of the Tuxedo col
ony was travelling on a local train one day
in company with her three-year-old son,
his nursemaid, and copy OF a society
magazine which absorbed her attention,
relates the New York Times. The son
was occupying the seat behind her with
his attendant, who attempted every once
in awhile to curb his restless and rebel
llous spirit by gentle denial of his lat
est whlm, but each time the mother, no
tlcing only that some argument was IN
progress, and without looking up from
ner book, would remark: Let hun have
IT.
The nursemaid thereupon would yield
to this double demand.
Finally a strong and rather venomous
locking wasp flew against the window
pane, and the youthful hunter reached out
TO grasp it, and walled deJectedIy when
he was once more restrained by the watch
full caretaker. AGAIN the fond mother
without raising her eyes, exclaimed
''Oh, do let him have it,"
And the howl which followed the
nurses compliance caused an amused
smile to pass around the car.
