NO MILK SHORTAGE
IN THIS LAND

That milk and butter shortage
need never take place in this country
no matter how completely isolated
from the rest of the world it might
lecome in some future condition of it's
development, is bit of interesting in
formation contained in a study just
prepared for the National Geographic
Society at Washington on the worlds
dairy industry. Dispatches from sew
eral of the warning countries in Eu-
rope carry notices of serious short
ages of butter-fats and of milk; and,
regarding the insufficiency of milk
supplies in certain belligerent lands,
much has been said about the hardship
worked upon the babies. The society's
review of butter and milk production
in the various countries reduces ques-
lions just now of greatest interest
concerning the nature of the wars re-
action upon humanity's milk pail and
butter firkin to concrete figures. The
following bulletin embodies the re-
suits:
In any discussion of the worlds
market basket the Importance of milk
cannot be overlooked. In the United
States alone We produce more than
f,000,000,000 gallons year. This is
an average of nearly one gallon per
COW a day. Exclusive of the milk and
cream consumed on the farms of the
country (Which, by the way, repre-
sents the bulk of our production), our
dairy products are worth $600,000,000
a year. In other words, they are worth
enough to build a Panama Canal and
pay for the maintenance of the Amer
lean Army and Navy every year. Only
one third of all the milk produced in
the United States is sold from the
farm. Much of that which remains is
used for domestic purposes there, al
though a billion pounds of butter is
proudly exhibited by the American
farm as one of its by-products. The
total production of butter in the
United States is around 1,700,OOO,000
pounds. While 10 out of every II

Dangers OF Draft

Drafts feel best when we are hot
ard perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is Neu-
ralgia, Stiff Neck. Sore Muscles or
sometimes an attack of rheumatism.
In such cases apply Sioan's Liniment.
1t stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in short time the stiffness
and pain leaves. Those suffering from
Neuralgia or Neuralgia Headache will
find Ole or two applications of Sloan's
Llniment will give grateful relief The
agonlzing pain gives way to a tingl-
ing sensation Of comfort and warmth
and quiet rest and sleep is possible.

In Memory of Mrs. Ida E. Smith.

In Memory of Mrs. Ida E. Smith.
On Jan. Is, 1916, Mrs. Ida E.
Smith received a summons to
that Home Eternal.
Mrs. Smith was born in Eureka,
Pamela county. Miss, Jan. IL,
1857. She moved to Claiborne
parish, La, with her parents
when quite small. On Nov. %,
1878, she was married to N. D.
Smith, and lived near Athens un-
til 1896, when they moved to
Montgomery, La. They imme-
diately won the friendship of the
whole community, placed their
letters in the M. E. church South,
and lived and died in the old time
Methodist faith. Her husbands
home going was May 8, 1904.
Mrs. Smiths health had been
failing her for the past three
years, and about a month prior
to her death she received a Sc
we're stroke of paralysis with COM
plications. which she was unable
to resist. She was beautifully
resigned, and welcomed death as
only those who love the Lord can
do. For her it had no sting,
neither the grave any victory.
She leaves one son, j. T. Smith,
of Naborton, La, and two daugh-
tiers. Mrs. T. l.. Dean and Mrs.
w. R. Jones. of Montgomery,
La, with host of friends and
relatives to mourn her loss. We
commend them to God, who alone
can comfort in this hour of be-
reavement, and say to them,
There is no death: what seems SO is
transition:
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life Elysian
Whose portals We call death.
Her remains were laid to rest
by the side of her husband in the
Mt. Zion cemetery to await the
morning of the resurrection.
A FRIEND.
