Caterpillar Running Crops in
Toombs County

Vidalia, Ga, June 22.-The
farmers of Toombs county are
considerably wrought up over the
appearance of the caterpillar il
the cotton fields. The first reports
came from the Ohoopee district,
where the worms literally Destroy
ed in one day the entire field of
cotton belonging to r. B. Cowart,
about twenty acres in all. The
farmers union will investigate the
appearance of the pest and will in
all probability, appeal to the state
authorities.
The caterpillar is making its APP
pearance somewhat earlier this
year than it did last year, and IN
view of the fact that the cotton
crops generally are about three
weeks later than they were last
year will make the damage to the
young plant more serious.
In the face of the continued
heavy rains during the early plant
ing season and the calamity of tie
army worm or caterpillar at this
time much uneaslness is being ex-
perienced among the farmers.

A Poor Appetite
IL You Have One This Tells
You How to Change it
for a Coed One.

A poor appetite means more
than the loss of pleasu IN eating.
It means that you are not getting
enough nutrition-that you are
out of condition-that some organ
of your body is unable to perform
It's work-that you are ill-that
J GU may be seriously i'll very soon
unless you take immediate steps
to correct the trouble.
Nature is making an appeal for
help. Don't you hear her call?
You are probably run down.
The change from cold to warm
weather has discouraged your
blood and nerve force and one of
the indications is loss of appe-
tite. Neglect may mean nervous
prostration, long spell of sick
ness, perhaps a ruined constitution.
1t is up to you right now to do
something. Every day makes the
trouble more pronounced, There
is a remedy that you should try,
for it IS caluIated to give you ex
celent service. 1t is Rexall Celery
and Iron Tonic. We know what
it is made of. We know that it
has relieved other cases. We
know users who say it has been
Just the thing for them. We know
we can honestly recommend it.
We know it is especially designed
as a nerve food. a general builder
ana revivitier. We know SO much
about it that we are glad to back
our claims for it by a positive
guarantee to refund your money
if it fails to give satisfaction.
Could anyone do more than that
to show confidence and good faith
