From Worlds Work.
Here is the story OF a woman who
gained $4,000 in profits from the soil
in six years from an investment Of
5000:
Early in 1905, Mrs. ida e. Mathis
bought and took charge of TAO acres
Of red clay and in Calhoun county
Alabama. The farm cost $3.50 an acre

8 per cent. The land, the houses and
the fences had suffered from the "ab.
sentec landlord policy Of their former
owners. Mrs. Mathis spent ST. 200 ir
repairs. She planted 10000 fruit trees
on part of the cleared land, at a cost,
Of 5000; and rentau the rest OF the till.
able part of the farm for one-third
or one-fourth OF the crops instead o,
for cash, as a been the former own
ers' method. This percentage p,ar
stimulated the renters to such effort
that Mrs. Mathis share rose at once
to ST. 200 a yea instead of $500, which
the owners had formerly got. For the
first two years the renters used the
land between the young trees Of the
orchard, paying enough rent for it to
cover the additional expense of hoe
ing. The fourth veal (1903) the first
crop from $500 peach trees brought a
clear prcfit of $1,000 despite losses
caused by rain.
In 1908 Mrs. Mathis sold one-third OF
the farm-mostly timber land-for SIC
an acre. She brought part OF the rest
of the farm into cultivation and sue.

to $1,000 a year. In the spring Of 1911.
she sold h remaining two-thirds al
$40 an acre.
From rent, crops and sale OF the land
Mrs. Mathis received altogether consid-
erablvS more than $4,000. Her original
investment was less thans$5,0e0 and her

RESINOL A SAFE.
SKIN TREATMENT

You need never hesitate to use Resi-
mol Soap and Resinol Ointment There
is nothing in them to injure the ten
derest surface. Resinol is a doctors
prescription which proved so success
full for eczema, ringworm and other
itching, burning, unsightly skin erup-
tons, that it has been used by other
physicians all over the country for
eighteen years. No other treatment
for the skin now before the public can
show such record of professional ap-
prevail
In a single month, two hundred and
twenty-cne doctors wrote us indorsing
the Resinol preparations. They would
not have done so if they had not found
them highly valuable in their own prac-
tice. They prescribe Resinol freely,
confident that its soothing, healing &C
ton is brought about by agents so
bland and gentle as to be suited to the
most delicate skin-even Of a tiny
baby.
