Cornmeal.

According to the agricultural de.
partment at Washington, cornmeal
constitutes very nutritive and cheap
food. In fact, for three cents one can
get>-more nutriment out of cornmeal
than he can out of.-five cents worth
of flour. That is, 60 cents worth of
meal will give a man more bone, mus
Gle, nerve and brain than 81 worth
Of flour will.
That Is the commercial aspect of
the case, but for joy, satisfaction,
health and hope the cornmeal is as
far ahead Of -four as it is in the
economic estimate. A good bowl of
mush and milk-how good it sounds
and how good it is! Take a great
spoonful of it, and 1t twangs the
strings Of the harp Of health till every
little fiber and nerve falls into a
beautiful melody Of life. Exactly so,
too, with corn bread, pone and dod.
ger.
In these progressive days one can
find bricks of cold cornmeal mush at
the grNcers, ready for slicing and fry
ing, as much in a brick as will do
for three or four persons, tho finest,
happiest, nutritiousest eating under
the sun-for five cents a brick. 1t
Is said that the trouble these days is
with the cost of Ligh living. We
deny It, Here is the highest kind OF
living at the very lowest cost.-Ohio

Dug with Wrong Kind of Tools.


The heirs of the recluse who was
supposed to have buried some money
on his farm near Abilene did not find
the money, although they made a sys.
tematic search over the place with
picks and spades. "The great trou.
BILE with them was that they used the
wrong TOOLS" says the Lincoln Repub.
Hcan. "If they had taken team of
horses and plow and had gone ovet
the land first with that and then fol-
lowed 1t up with another team and q
drill containing wheat and had just
had a little patience, by next fall they
would have been able to realize some.
thing for their efforts. It has been
demonstrated number Of times that
there is no gold under the ground in
Kansas, but there are plenty of rich
farmers in this section Of the state
who can testify to the fact that there

Diversification Of Crops is Urged.

Albany, Ga, Sept. AT the re-
Agricultural Society held in this city,
the following resolutions were offer
cd and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the length Of the
war in Europe and it's resulting inhu-
enceS upon conditions in this coun-
try have proved so depressing in so
upon the farmers of Georgia to eXer-
else the strictest economy possible in
their expenses Of every character,
and to proceed at once for self-sup-
porting condition BY planting fall
crops of every kind--both garden and
field-raising hogs, cattle and sheep
and run a successful campaign of
hog and hominy.'
Resolved, That in pitching their
crops for 1915 they should let food
supplies be their main crop and
make cotton what it properly should
be, surplus crop.
I'VE have seen darker nd more
depressing days than we are now
passing through, but what prevented
serious suffering was that our smoke
houses and cribs were full A deter
mnation on the part Of our people to
act in concert for what is the benefit
of all-be cheerful and encourage
each other, and we will find that
things are not as discouraging as
they might be. Be cheerful and you
will be happy"

TURKEY MAY NOW ENTER WAR
Against Russia--Greece Will Follow,
Fighting With Allies.

Washington, Sept 3.-Turkey has
declined to grant the request Of the
United States for permission to send
the cruiser North Carolina through
the Dardanelles to Constantinopie to
deliver $15O,OOO in gold deposited
here for the relief of Americans in
the Ottoman Empire.
The Grand ViZier has informed the
American government that the wa
ters of the Dardanelles are mined and
that it would be unsafe for vessel
as large as the North Carolina to go
through the straits. He declared also
that it might establish a precedent
for the passage of other foreign war
ships, and suggested that the Ameri-
can naval yacht Scorpion, on duty in
Turkish waters, be sent to sea to
meet the North Carolina.
This was the substance of a long
cablegram received at the White
House and state Department to-day
from Ambassador Morganthau, the
first message from him in several
days. The ambassador made no
mention of any declaration of war,
bat referred to the diplomatic situa-
ton as highly critical.
The ambassador reported that all
Americans who wished to leave had
done so, and he thought funds aboard
the North Carolina would be suffi-
cient for immediate needs.
Why Turkey Delays.
From Turkish officials it was learn
ed that the first declaration Of wal
probably would be against Russia,
and that Turkeys delay in announc-
ing her intentions was due to her de-
sire to complete military prepara-
tions. The Turkish ambassador said
Turkish mobilization had been in
progress for nearly month, and that
he believed 100000, or possibly a
million, men had been enrolled. He
reiterated that the mobilization was
not aimed at Greece or Bulgaria.
Diplomats generally believe Greece
| Immediately will align herself with
the allies against Turkey if the lat
| ter declares war. The expectation
| also is growing that Italy is prepar-
| ing to side with the allies. If she
| intends to stand by Germany and
Austria, they believe, notification al
! ready would have been sent to Ital-
! ian ships to stay in neutral ports and
| avoid British war vessels.

Cotton Bill Favorably Reported.

Washington, Sept. 3.-As an out
growth of emergencies Occasioned by
the European war, the House COM
mittee on agriculture flied to-day it's
favorable report on the proposed
Federal supervised warehousing sys-
TEN for cotton, grain and other non
perishable agricultural products. The
bill, a consolidation of two measures,
will be pressed for action at this ses-
sion.
The dire situation confronting the
cotton producers" the committee re-
ported, emphasizes most strikingly
the utter inadequacy of the present
system Of marketing American stand
ard farm crops. The essential weak
ness is lack Of adequate storage facil-
tiles and their non-relation to the
country's banking system"
The bill provides that uniform
warehouse receipts will be issued on
agricultural products stored in gov
eminent licensed warehouses. The
system is not compulsory, however,
and does not interfere with ware
house systems now organized under
State or local authority.

French Money Coming to U. S

Paris, Sept. 4.-Heavy transfers Of
French money to New York are in
progress. There are several reasons
for this, among them the modera te
interest paid on current accounts
which may be withdrawn at any
time, a privilege not granted in any
important European market Then
the price of eXchang4 is regarded as
certain to rise whatever course the
International war takes. Altogether
French cash is considered safer in the
United States than in Europe.

REMEMBER YOUR LAST DOSE OF

sickness you took it for. You noed

calomel."
Next time your liver gets sluggish
and inactive, we urge that you go to

medicine that will start your liver as
surely as calomel ever did and with

FARMERS APPEAL FEDERAL AID
Ask Appropriation to Meet Emer-
gency-T0 Send Committee.

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 2.-An
appeal to Congress to appropriate
funds necessary to finance the mar
keting of the cotton crop of 1914
was authorized to-day by the Farm
ers Educational and Cooperative
Union Of America in sessions here
Details of the plan to relieve the sit
uation caused by the war in Europe
were left to a committee, which will
go to Washington to present the ap-
peal. The delegation which will be
named tomorrow will include at
least one representative from each of
the cotton growing States and the
national officers Of the farmers or
ganization.
This acCiOn was taken by the ad-
option Of the report Of a committee
appointed to devise a scheme to in
sure the movement of the present
cotton crop.
But one course is open to any
civilized nation when any considera-
BILE number Of its citizens are threat
ened with peril, occasioned by no
fault Of their own, and that is direct
aid from the Federal treasury" the
committee urged in its report.
