KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
TELLS RHEUMATISM SUFFERERS
TO EAT LESS MEAT AND
TAKE SALTS.

| Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water
Rheumatism is a direct result OF
es,@dng too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which Is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast 1t out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the nric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness. soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full In a glass of water and drink be
fore breakfast each morning for
week, This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action, thus Kidding the blood OF
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hthia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject 10

which helps overcome uric acid and Is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.

UNDERSTANDS CLOSET.

The hall closet, especially the one
under the stairway, is often left In a
state of confusion that is a real strain
on the family tempers. Since it gen
orally contains things that are want
ed in hurry, it should be carefully
planned and scrupulously kept in or
der. To begin with, it is rarely well
lighted. An electric bulb fastened to
the casing just inside the door, with
in easy reach, will overcome this, says
a Detroit Free Fress writer Have
two shelves along the far side of the
closet, the bottom one about waist
high, the other foot above this. Be-
tween these shelves, place uprights
making a row of overgrown pigeon
holes, like the ones you see in check
rooms;' when lettered or numbered,
they serve as individual compartments
for rubbers or skates, thus avoiding
confusion.
Hooks may be screwed into the
edges of the shelves at the divisions,
providing places for the children's
everyday hats and coats within reach
of the smallest. The top of the
shelves makes an admirable resting
place for school-books. Snap-hooks,
like larger editions of the ones made
for toothbrushes, should be attached
to the wall under the compartments
to hold tennis racquets, bats, hockey
sticks, etc. Fasten wardrobe hooks
into the sIoping ceiling and on them
hang coat hangers for the coats and
raincoats. See that they are well to-
ward the outer side of the closet, SO
that hinge hung on them will fall clear
of the shelves. In the low space near
the bottom of the stairs, put stand
composed of a fiat base and four low
uprights supporting a rack divided in
to nine or more open squares to hold

Easily GrolUn Vegetables
For he Amateur Gardener

Radishes, lettuce, beans, beets, and
tomatoes are all comparatively easily
grown vegetables which give satisfac-
tory returns in the spring garden. The
u. S Department of Agriculture's spe-
ciaiist recommends these particularly
for use in school gardens which are
run for the bentfit of the children. Not
only teachers, but others desiring to
raise these truck crops In their own
home gardens may benefit from these
suggestions:
Radishes.-Radishes are hardy
plants and thrive best during the cool
weather of early spring and late au-
tumn. In the South they can best be
grown during the winter and early
spring months. The seeds should be
sown in drills, in rich, wellprepared
soil, placed about half an inch apart
and buried not deeper than l inch nor
less than one-half inch. When the
plants are showing the second set of
true leaves they should be thinned to
stand from 2 to inches apart in the
row.
Lettuce.-Lettuce is a hardy plant
and thrives best during early spring
and late autumn. The seeds should be
sown in drills in the open or in box
es in the window. If in the open, the
seeds should be scattered about one
half inch apart along the row. and COW
cred not more than one-half inch with
earth. Firm the earth well over the
seeds, so as to bring the moist soil in
contact with them. When the plants
are well up, thin TO inches apart
in the row. If the seeds were sown
in a widow box, hotbed frame, or
greenhouse, transplant the young
plants to stand by inches apart
as soon as the seed leaves are we'll
expanded, and when they begin to
crowd transfer them to their perma,
nent places in the open, if the weather
will permit. In the field, they should
stand at least inches apart each way.

! Beans.-Beans are tender plants
They can not endure frost and will
not stand transplanting well. 1t Is
| best to wait and plant the seeds OF
this plant in the open where the plants
, are to grow, delaying the work until
, severe frosts are past. Plant in rows
, foot apart, placing the seeds about
2 inches deep at intervals of 6 inches,
Keep the soil loose and free from
weeds.
Beets.-Beets. while they are hardy
and can be planted at the same time
as radishes and lettuce, require a
longer season for maturing. The
seeds should be planted in rows 1 foot
apart, placed an inch apart in the
row and covered | inch deep. When
the plants are well up e inches high,
thin to 4 inches apart in the row.
Keep the soil we'll titled at all times.
Tomatoes.-The tomato is the most
exacting Of all the plants included in
the collection. From Washington
southwark the seeds may be planted in
the open at the same time as beans,
but to the north of this point the
seeds should be sown in boxes, lot
beds, or greenhouses from the first to
the middle of March, the young plants
being transplanted to stand 2 by 2
inches apart as soon as the first tue
leaves appear. When they begin to
crowd in their new positions, shift
them to 4-inch pots or to cans such
as are used by Gamers Of tomatoes,
and keep them growing slowly until
about May 20 to June l, when it will
be safe to place them in their pe..la-
nent locations in the garden. Set The
pants in rows IS inches apart nd
place the plants about 20 inches apart
in the rows Each plant as it grows
should have all side branches remo-ed
and the main stem tied to stout
stake, about 5 feet tall and at least
an inch square, driven firmly in he
ground.

The story of Roy Ashley. fifteen
year-old Mississippi boy, member OF
the states corn growing club, as told
in his own way, is given below. 1t is
an interesting bit Of reading, penneo
in the boys own hand.
Concerning the youngster and his
photographed sketch, c. A. CoDp'
assistant state agent in charge OF the
boys club work, has this to say:
II would call your attention, es-
pecially, to the following: Roy joined
the Corn Club in 1910; the attitude OF
the people in the community When
he Joined the Corn Club; the average
Weld of corn his father made before
he Joined the Corn Club; the average
weld of his father now the attitude
of the people since this boy has DEM
onstrated what can be done; the idea
of keeping the land busy during the
winter and the effect on his pigs and
calf: the idea the boy had of going to
the woods and hauling oak leaves to
make humus in his soil; the deep ploW-
ing preparatory to his crops, and the
intelligent cultivation; how the mols'
ture was conserved; how this boy
studied the matter of fertilizers and
knew what he was buying fertilizers
for. II is especially interesting to note
how this boy went ahead OF his three
witnesses and selected the corn that
should go into the first grade lot, the
second grade lot, and the third grade
lot: and he has given square deal to
those who have purchased seed corn
from him-this is great. This boy has
found that he can grow good cattle and
is beginning, by spending his corn
money for a pure bred Hereford Dull

this history that | am sure it will be

and that it will give you great and
lasting faith in the corn club.
The boys story is as follows:

PLAN TO INCREASE
STATES CORN AREA
A. e. M. WOULD ADD A MILLION
ACRES FOR THAT
PRODUCT.

"One million acres increase" in the
area planted to corn in Mississippi is
the slogan of the Mississippi A. & M.
College Extenson Department and it's
workers. 1t will take this much in
crease for the state to produce the es-
timated home consumption for food:
meal, chops, and mixed feeds. This
increased acreage in our state over
last, season would give us twenty mil
lion bushels more, which is an ap-
Proclamation of our states needs. To
distribute this from point to point
where needed and also through the
season means that some preparation
must be made. A campaign is being
made by this Department for more
home shelters and shelters attached
to gins and mills, and for warehouses
to handle the surplus out of business
centers. The cities of Jackson, Hat
tiesburg, Greenville, and Greenwood
announce that they will have elevators
to put this product in a merchantable
shape and have it prepared especially
for wholesale trade. And the farmers
must, on their part, be able to carry
part of the product themselves for
distribution in their own locality.

corn sections of the north is a fallacy.
Analysis made by the State Chemist
at the A. & M. College gives no appre-
cable difference either in corn from
different sections or in different varie-
ties. The southern product is entirely
dried because of a longer season to
make and mature, and it must be dried
out either before or after Smelling to

Mississippi type is largely of the

There is no indication that prices
will be materially less than those al

not hesitate in making a decision as
to what to do with at least a good part
of the area that is not going to be
used for cotton.

like to grow the larger one-eared ma
