Cotton
 The Logical Thing to Do

If planters have in mind a
 considerable increase of the
 acreage in cotton, it will be
 wise for them to dispose of
 the cotton they have in hand at prices ruling around 12
 cents and thus clear the
 decks for the new crop.
 The facilities of this com- pany enable owners of cot ton to carry it conveniently through declines and to sell promptly on advances.

No Cure for Grjppe,

There is no use worrying about the
weather, about the war, about unpleas-
ant neighbors, about pressing necessi-
ties and about everything. but one.
Go out and get the grippe. When you
get that all your other troubles will
be trivial. The doctors tell Of many
ways to prevent the grippe, but not
one has discovered a cure. Put sui
phur in your shoes, advises one ply
stefan, as a preventive. Another says
tie some asafetida around your neck;
that will keep the grippe germs away
and your friends also. A third sug-
gests eating Saline crackers and go
ing to bed, while another says soap
is a hereditary enemy Of la grippe.
Lather yourself with it and then 90 to
bed. A Brooklyn physician advises
grippe patients to waltz into some hos
pital and have that sinister thyroid
gland cut away from its lair Then
you will be immune. Don't smoke.
don't drink, don't indulge in kissing.
and above all taboo eating as much
as possible" says the health depart
ment, then you escape the ka-choo.
The foregoing are only few ways
to prevent grippe. II you carefully
follow all these instructions what II
left of you will not have the grippe.
