Fortunate 1s the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the tor
lures Of dyspepsia, but as few are so
fortunate, care should be taken in the
matter of diet. Eating slowly, mastt-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
a short walk after the heavy meal Of
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do not
agree, and these should be avoided.
When these common.sense aids fall,
the next thing to do Is to take a mild
digestive tonic with laxative proper

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It contains
the greatest Of all aids to digestion,

Columbia. - Something somewhat

member of Jackson Creek Farmers
Union gave his check for $1,165.21 for
four carloads of fertilizer for the
members of that union. Every mem.

bia, to suit the convenience Of the
various members.
This Is the beginning of the cooper.
alive spirit in the community known
Is Jackson Creek, about eight miles
from Columbia, on the Two Notch
road.
A local lodge of the Farmers Union
was instituted there about two months
ago by j. Whitner Reid, secretary of
the State union. c. B. Marlborough
was made president, J. H. Wilson vice
president and George w. Thomas Sec
rotary. The lodge has about Is mem.
bers.
Though it was rather late in the
season to make all arrangements nee.
essary to purchase fertilizers, the
determined cooperative spirit of the
members was shown in their effecting
their arrangements and in placing
their orders as shown above. The in.
dividual orders ranged from about
$50 to about 1927. 1t is estimated that
the members saved a total Of about
$500 by combining their orders and
arranging to mix their own fertilizers.
The individual savings ranged from
about 81 to $50.
The members Of the union feel very
much encouraged. 1t is their pur'
pose to perfect plans whereby they
will purchase their staple groceries
in wholesale lots and they expect also
to arrange to sell their products
through one or more agencies. The
union is growing in membership and
the prospects are that 1t will develop
into a considerable power in the com
munity.

Cablinu for a Doctor.

An example of how the world has

is forthcoming from Valentia island,
II miles off the west coast Of Ireland.
A woman was seized with illness, and
the nearest doctor was on the main

Newfoundland, whence it was trans
mitted to Waterville. and the doctor
was on the island within two hours,

Of cream and butter. Each creamery

Of cream and butter. Each creamery
is bound to maintain the most I'M
maculate cleanliness, accept only miik
that is clean, fresh and untainted, pas
teurize all milk and cream, churu the
cream at a temperature not to exceed
4S degrees F., and afix the cortrol la
bel to no butter that exceeds the 16
per cent. limit Of moisture.
The enforcement of such rules as
this tending to result in high grade
products is what is meant by CON
troll" 1t is another of the big lessons
that Ireland has to impart to pros
pective co-operators. And remember
this: No stock company or private
creamery ever yet was able to control
the quality of butter by controlling
every step back to the feed before the
COW eats it. Consequently, no private
ly owned creamery can make such but
ter as cooperative butter.
Brands Must Be Used.
1t is not enough that the inherent
quality is high. The quality must be
evidenced in some way readily recog-
nizable by the public. Consequently
a system of brands and labels has
been devised for all products. BY an
educational process covering years the
public as well as dealers have been
taught that the brand Of cooperation
stands for quality. Consumers are
taught to demand this brand as an
evidence Of quality. Retailers find that
the brand sells the product without
advertising. It is therefore the pol
icy of Irish cooperation to- have a
brand. The afixing Of the brand GER
titles quality and makes the article
transferable at a fixed figure, just as
the impress which the gold disk re-
ceives in the mint makes 1t a SOW
ereign which passes current from hand
to hand.
An attorney, whose business has
been largely to Investigate American
bankrupt concerns makes the state
ment that he never knew a bad, COM
mercial failure where there was not
either dishonesty or lack Of bookkeep-
ing methods. Bad failures come only
where no one is fully informed as to
the exact condition Of the business.
The Irish co-operators fully recognize
this principle. Certain standard forms
Of bookkeeping have been worked out
and largely adopted; the best methods
Of keeping the books, and Of making
summaries and reports for audit,
have been also Established, 80 that
the exact condition may be brought to
the attention Of the members OF the
concern at any time. AS a result we
find everywhere throughout the coop
erative enterprises Of Ireland surpris-
ingly efficient methods Of accounting.
The 1. A. O. 8. and its supervisory sys-
ter are largely responsible for this
situation.
One of the greatest difficulties en-
c%ountered was that Of obtaining skill
ed managers for the various co-opera-
tive concerns. But skilled and intel
ligent they must be in order to In
sure success. For example, It Is

It has also been determined by ex-
perience that the separate little con-
Germs, some of which are necessarily
managed by men Of limited opportu-
nifty, cannot succeed unless they are
federated and supervised and helped
by a central organization. They need
assistance in organization, In finding

has not only assisted In organizing the
cooperative societies, but receives Pc
riodical reports from the, visits and in
spects them frequently, audits their
accounts, sees that their affairs are
properly conducted, makes sugges-
tons as to markets and other business
problems, and gives council and ad-
vice generally. Some such supervision
must come in America If cooperative
success Is to be general and last
ing.
Our Conclusion.
Cooperation has undoubtedly sue
ceeded in Ireland. 1t deserves to sue
coed because it stands for a uniformly
high quality of farm products, for fair
dealing, for just returns to those fur
nishing the product, for justice to the
consumer, as well as producer, for
good, clean business Methods for
skilled management, for community
Loyalty and solidarity. Cooperation
will succeed in the United States
whenever 1t stands for these things.
If it does not, it will fail. The soon
er the cooperative enthusiast learns
that cooperation, like every other en-
terprise, must succeed on its merits,
not on some mysterious inherent Vir-
tue, the better. Nothing could be
more unwise at this time than to
preach the doctrine that cooperation
in itself should be introduced any
where and everywhere. If it is intro
duced before prospective members are
ready to cooperate in q proper spirit
