Farmers, Attention!

Did you ever hear that the Northern farmer could live on what the Southern farmer wastes and that the hill farmer could live on what the delta wastes? Waste is a ruinous com panion. It benefits no one and ruins the man who keeps it up. In this connection, if your blows, hoes and other implements are in the field, or exposed to the weather, if your harnes is not washed and greased when this is needed, if your wagon stands without shelter, if you allow your live stock to wander around exposed to the cold and rain = thls, each and all, is waste.
 If you have no protection for your land in the way of cover crops for winter, such as crim- son clover, wheat or rye, but are allowing the fertility of your soil to leach and wash away, if you give no attention to prevent ing gullies and washes. but let the rains carry your soil away this is aste and the worst kind of waste.
 If you are spending your time loating around country stores, sitting around the stove, whit ting sticks and talking politics, this is a waste of time. Some of us, and maybe most of us, are indulging in one or all of the kinds of waste mentioned herein The remedy lies with us. Each of us knows, or can know, where in he is wasteful and by stopping this eternal waste, we cannot only better our own conditions and that of our families, but we will better the condition of the South generally.
 If there be any reader who can look over his farm and find no waste, then this is not intend ed for him, but for his wasteful neighbor, and he will please call his neighbours attention hereto. But first, let each of us see whether or not there is waste on our part that can be stopped Memphis Commercial Appeal.

No More Calendars for Him

Reminded of the success of the early bird in getting the worm a Free Press representative sug- gested to one of Stuttgart S business men a few days since that when he was ready to place his order for 1911 caleaders we would like an opportunity to sub nit samples and prices. Not me-" replied the gentleman, I have been thinking about this calendar business this week and have decided to pass it up here after.''
 Knowing that he had made a practice of using calendars for advertising purposes for several years we were naturally curious to know what had brought this change and accordingly made in quiry. Well" said he when 1 first began the use of calendars for advertising purposes very few were used and I felt pretty sure that my calendar would oc- cupy prominent place in the home good portion of the year. But now their use is so general they have become common. The novelty of some and the artistic beauty of others attract for a time, but at the end of two months ninety per cent of them have been destroyed and unless you use the most expensive but few survive these two months. '
 Tt is too expensive" he con tinued for the results obtained. Now here I have invested just about the price of a column ad- vertisement in your paper for the entire year in these calen- dars and what am 1 to expect: I get one announcement that am in business, carrying a cer-

Cause for Alarm Loss of Appetite or Dis tress After Eating Symptoms that
 should not be
 DiSregarded

Appetite is just a natural de ssre of the system for food nec- essary to replace natural body waste. Loss of appetite or sto- mach distess after eating indi- cates indigestion or dyspep sia. Over eating is a habit very dan gerous to a person s good gen eral health, and unsuitable appe- tite is a common symptom of diabetes.
 It is not what you eat but what you digest and assimalate that does you good. Some of the strongest, heaviest and heal thiest persons are moderate eat est.
 There is nothing that will ere ate SiuknesS or cause more trou- bic than a disordered Stmach, and many people daily contract serious maladies simply through disregard or abuse of the stom- ach.
 We urge every one suffering from any stomach Arrangement, indigestion or dyspepsia, wheth- CT acute or cronic, to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the dis tinct understanding that we will refund their money without queS- tions or formality, if after req sonable use of this medicine they are not satisfied with the results. We recommend them to our GUS toners every day and have vet to hear of any one who has not been benefited by them.
 We honestly believe Rexal Dyspepsia Tablets to be without equal. They are made from the prescription of a physician who devoted his time to the study and treatment of stomach trou- bles. They give very prompt relief. stimulating the secretion of gastric juices. strengthen the digestive organs, aid to good di- gestions and assimilation, regul- ate the bowels, and prmote nu- rition.
 We urge you to try a p cent box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets which give 15 days treatement. At the end of that time your mon ey will be returned to you if you are not satisfied. Of course in cronic cases length of treatment varies. For such cases we have two larger sizes, which sell fol 50 cents and $1.00. Remember you cali obtain Rexall Remedies in Carlisle only at onr store, - The Rexall Store. c. $. Ayres Drug Store.

mo MINUTE SKETCHES
Andrew Jackson.
By y. 4.

n NDREW JACKSON was an ex-
~ ample of the triumph Of will
~ power over difficulties. His
whole life was a history OF
overcoming obstacles. Many Of these
obstacles, perhaps the most serious
ones, weresi his W nature. One of
them was a hot anger that constantly
reared up enemies In his path. Anoth.
.er was a wild and reckless disposition
In youth. A third vas physical disease.
One Of his military campaigns was
made at a time when he could hardly
sit In the saddle because Of pain. All
the latter part Of his life he suffered
from Ill health and wounds.
OF the outward obstacles in the way
of this indomitable man, poverty was
perhaps the chief. The loss Of both
parents in youth added to this handi-
cap. The second was a rough pioneer
environment where his life was con-
stantly in danger. The third was the
neglect and opposition Of other people.
At one time during the Creek campaign
he was left almost alone. The term Of
enlistment of his men having expired,
nearly all Of them went home. At an
other time the force under his COM
mand was disbanded by the govern
ment. He was always a~ntagonized by
the chief men in congress and by all
the moneyed interests.
Despite these fearful adverse odds
he won. There are few examples Of
success In sill our history more con-
spicuous. He won against his personal
enemies at home. He won in all his
battles. He won over congress. He
won against the national bank. he
won in his fight with notification.
His notices are illuminative Of the
man. He often said, Nothing is done
till all is DONE" Another phrase con-
stantly on his lips was, "a clean vic
tory or q clean defeat" When others
objected to his plans, he silenced them
by peremptorily exclaiming, 81 will
take the responsibility" At one time in
youth, when a raft on which he tried
to cross a swollen stream was nearly
swept over a cataract, after his escape
he said he was trying to show his com
panions how chose he could Craze dan
ger. He said he would get them out
yet, and he did. When the massacre at
Fort Minis occurred, he vas in bed
with serious wounds, yet he took the
field Immediately, though he had to be
attended by his physician, who feared
ne would die on his way to camp.
