Corinth, Miss: 81 am city tax
collector and seventy-four years of age.
I was in a weak, rundown condition so
that I became exhausted by every little
exertion. My druggist told me about
Vinol, and decided to take it. In a
week / noticed considerable improve
ment; / continued its use and now l
have gained twenty pounds in weight,
and feel much stronger. / consider
Vinol fine tonic to create strength for
old people. ID. A. PRICE, Corinth,
Miss.
AS one grows old their organs act
more slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges-
ton weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthened
and body builder for old folks because
it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the
blood, improves circulation and in this
natural manner builds up, strengthens
and invigorates feeble, rundown, nerv-
GUS and aged people, and if it does not do
all we say, we will pay back your
money.

half YOUR Living
FROM YOUR GARDEN
Big Saving to Farmer and City Man
Is Possible Through Home
Grown Vegetables

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special) 1.-The farm
er who makes and keeps going this
year a real home garden, will save
fully one-half the money he has peen
in the habit of paying the supply mer-
chant for his food supplies. The man
with back yard city lot, turned into
"a garden, can save on his living ex-
penses in the same proportion.
The man in the city has been hit
by the war just as hard as the man
in the country, and here in Atlanta the
Agricultural Committee of the Atlanta
Chamber Of Commerce, of which H. G.
Hastings is chairman, is actively en-
.couraging the back yard city garden
as one Of the most effective steps in
solving the problem of living. One At
lantan made $3.50 worth of vegetables
last year on less than one-sixteenth Of
an acre. Others have been encourag-
ed to try it, and this spring will see
Atlanta full of home gardens.
1.-THE farmers of the South, in my
opinion" Mr.. Hastings said, "have
we'll learned the lesson of the cotton
crisis, and I believe they are going to
keep it learned. They realize now as
never before that they must make
cotton their servant instead of their
master, and making food crops is the
only way to do it.
THE first big step toward the solu-
ton Of this problem is the home gar
den-an all-the-year-round garden
one that is kept busy growing food for
the table every month in the year. A
garden like this means a saving of
half the living expense Of any family;
it is worth more as money saver
than any five acres Of cotton ever
grown.
city families pay fancy prices for
vegetables and other food products
which the farmer can have on his ta-
bic without the expenditure of dol
lar, and this would mean to the farm
ers Of the South an aggregate saving
of millions of dollars they are now
paying out annually for. food supplies,
that might be turned into bank &C
