Health and Beauty Notes
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN

becoming bald, now is the time to
save your hair. By getting one-half
pint alcohol and one ounce quinzoin
at your druggists and mixing with
one-half pint cold water you will
have the finest remedy imaginable
for dandruff and falling, lifeless hair
Rub this tonic into the scalp twice
a week and you will soon see a won
derful improvement in your hair. 1t
will take on a healthy color and be-
come glossy and abundant. This tom
ic is not sticky and will instantly re
lieve scalp itching. l know of many
hairdressers who use this tonic ex-
clusively and with fine results. 1t is
equally good for both light and dark
hair.
Mrs. c. X: For that tired, worn
out feeling you need a good tonic to
build up your strength, energy and
appetite, and remove from your
blood, those impurities, which cause
pimples, sallowness and other skin
troubles. You can prepare at home
an inexpensive, beneficial tonic as
follows: Dissolve one-half cup sugar
and one ounce kardene in one-half
pint alcohol, then add hot water to
make full quart. Take a table
spoonful before each meal. ] can
not recommend this tonic too highly
as reliable spring medicine. 1t will
give you new life and ambition and
turn your pimply. sallow complexion
into new, fresh one. For stimu-
lating the organs of the body to nor
mai action you will find this simple,
old-fashioned tonic just grand.
Mrs. n. C.: Even at your age of 30
there can be no good excuse for your
complexion not looking just 90
smooth. fresh and plump as it did 3
years ago. want you to try a
cream-jelly that l have found very
fine for clearing up a dark, rough,
wrinkled skin. You can make it

almozoin in one-half pint of cold wa
ter; then add two teaspoonfuls of
night before using. Apply this to
your face and you will soon find
those large, dirt collecting pores
smaller, your blackhesds and wrink-
les gone and your complexion smooth
and clear. AS a skin beautifier I
have never seen its equal and know

Betty: A simple paste made with
powdered delatone and water will
rid your face of those unsightly
hairs. Get an ounce of delatone
from the druggist and with a little
water mix some to form a paste,
then spread on hairy surface and af- /
ter remaining two or three minutes
rub on and wash the skin. Delatone /
costs dollar an ounce, but 1t does
the work quickly.

Edith: No, do not believe il dry
shampoos." If you were going to
wash your face, would you even
think of rubbing powder on it? When
you need a shampoo ask your hair
dresser for a canthrox shampoo or
buy the canthrox at any drug store
and prepare the shampoo at home by
dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox
in a cup of hot water. The cleans
ing lather of this shampoo will re-

Successful Stock Raising
Iincoln County News J


Mr.. Clarence Coon, besides being a
stalwart Democrat and an all-round
fine fellow, is also somewhat of a sue
cessful stock raiser. On last We'd
nesday he hauled fifteen pigs to Besse-
mer City and sold out in quick order
He raked in about forty-five bucks"
for his trouble. He sells on an aver
age of fifty or sixty pigs each year
and realizes handsome profit there
on. Mr.. Coon believe that it pays to
raise only the best stock. He bought
a Jersey COW recently that represents
an outlay of S110. This COW will yield
or an average OF 1000 pounds milk
per year, making per cent butter
fat The ordinary scrub COW will
hardly yield half that much milk and
the percentage of butter fat is from
TO 4. Notice the difference? Now
It takes just as much or a little more
to feed an old scrub and this kind
of a COW is simply not in the race with
a weIl-bred Jersey. Mr.. Coon says
that in the future it is only the best
for him.

Why should we spend so much
money for commercial fertilizer when
we can crow the legumes that will in
crease the productiveness Of our soils?
In conclusion, Brother Farmer, let's
be farmers and raise something to
sell and let the other folks be the ones
to b,y. Farmers are the only men
who produce, and if we be buyers Of
what we ought to produce we are not
farming as we ought. Are we?

Farmers ExperreTce Meeting
Farmers Advised to Decrease
Acreage of Cotton for 1912

To the Editor:-I see many sug-
farmers conventions planning for the
benefit of the farmers and TO fix for
farmers TO hold their cotton in order
to raise the price. They can, in my
opinion, help the cause and materially
raise the price as every one knows
that twelvC-cent cotton is reasonable
and that farmers can raise il for 10
to IL cents per pound. l don't believe
in a monopoly, but the farmers have
monopoly on the cotton production
of the South. as the United States has
only about five per cent of the
population of the world and
out Southern States raise about
70 per cent Of the cotton for the
world. South America, Egypt and
India are the other countries which
grow little cotton, but il is all in
ferior to ours except India, and they
can't grow any great amount. So it
is very important that the farmers try
to arrange to be a little uniform in
their plans and reduce their acreage
at least 80 per cent for 1912. The
cotton market being bulled beyond
reason for the past two years is what
induced the farmers to put in such
large acreage last spring. The manu-
facturers have been holding off. not
buying cotton, ever since they saw
such large acreage planted in cot
ton, because they were sure beyond
doubt that there would be lower
prices, and thus entailing a loss to
them. I remember how some of the
bulls criticized and ridiculed Secretary
Wilson's report. saying 1t was errone-
Gus and very uncalled for. This was
all because some OF them were long"
and they saw it meant a loss IL the
market dropped very suddenly on
that estimate of 14,750.000 bales for
the commercial crop. This crop would
exceed that by far il all the cotton
were saved. The very low price and
high price Of picking will cause a
great deal to be plowed In under
wheat and oats, The farmers through
out the South are plowing in cotton
them selling Scent cotton and buying
S0-cent corn.
Mr.. Farmer, remember the disas-
trous fallacy Of planting all or most
of your crop in cotton. Plant about
10 per cent of 1911 acreage and the
balance of crop in corn and peas and
you will have no cause to fuss with
the bulls or bears, MIR. Farmer.
SO hold to your spots and borrow
money, to meet your obi!Sl'. -. \ fou
can better afford % 10 this thar 10
next year. The world knows thdt cot
ton is cheap at 10c.. and the remain
der of this years crop ought to bring
10 to 12c. per pound for all middling
cotton So hold spots and shorten
acreag ge; and buy July and October at
or below SC. BY all means, Mr.. Far
mer shorten your acreage.
Yours truly,
CHAS. RRINN.
