Few people realize that over asa
600 pounds of various herbs are used
annually in making Lydia FL Pink

these herbs all have to be gathered
at the season OF the year when their

The watchword in preparing these
herbs is cleanliness, the process OF

and tanks are sterilized aud the med
icine is pasteurized, clarified and fill

talk in which he stressed the need
OF cooperation and energy and push.
Mr.. Ramsey sang his way into the
heart of every Ennis citizen.
Rev. Armstrong developed into
something of story teller and for
several minutes kept the crowd roar
ing with laughter. His illustrations
of obedience was clever. He said he
was reared to obey his father. that
he entered the ministry OF the Meth
odist church early in life and was
forced to obey constituted authority
and lastly he married and has been

Farm Demonstration Agent D. d.
Floyd explained his work to the
membership. saying 1t would be his
pleasure to give a reasonable por-
tion of his time to the Corn and Pig
club work in the Ennis trade terri
tory. He likewise called attention
to the effort being put forth by Ellis
county farmers to save their lands
from waste through the medium of
terracing. He called attention to the
farms in the Ennis community al
ready terraced and asked the far
mers interested to make it point
to visit them for inspection.
At the close of this talk one of the
most interesting banquets OF the
year closed and the people went away
feeling that the Ennis Commercial
club is closer to the people than it
has ever been and that much good
will be accomplished during the pres
ent year.
