YOU CAN SERVE

You may not be able to carry and
fire a gun, but your country needs
your service now. You may not even
be able to dig trench, but you will
either serve or handicap your country
by what you do or do not do.
America in the present crisis needs
health as much as anything else. It
needs strong, enduring soldiers for
offense and defense. 1t needs a
healthy civil population, first, to back
up the fighting men, and, second, to
keep from robbing the soldiers of the
services to which they are entitled.
Every needlessly sick individual in
effect offers comfort and assistance
to the enemy. He is incapacitated
from rendering his own bit of service.
In addition, he takes the attention of
others, who, except for his need,
might be striking a blow for our
country OF against the enemy.
We and our allies need a great in
crease in food supplies. A sick man,
woman or child cannot produce it in
field, garden, or mill. Our soldiers
and sailors will need medical and
nursing attendants, many Of whom
will be kept at home to care for sick
and dependent people who have no
moral right in war or peace times to
be sick. Civilians will consume drugs
that we're better employed in saving
the lives and restoring the health Of
the country's defenders.
There is not man, woman, OF child
who cannot, and is not called upon to
make some sacrifice for his country.
The least he can do is to give up the
personal liberty of being sick need
lessly.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN IN
 CATTLE-TICK ERADICATION

With broad wedge driven through the cattle-tick army right to the Gulf and with new area of 65,520 square miles in nine states cleaned from tick to be freed from Federal Quarantine, December 1 will be a red-letter day for the cattle and dairying industry of the South.
 This release breaks all records in tick eradication. The total territory released during the year 1917 through the cooperative efforts of the States and the United States Department of Agriculture amounts to 70,754 square miles, or 10000 more than were re- leased in 1912, until now the record year.
 Throughout Mississippi, and in 90 counties and parts of counties m 8 other Southern States, local officers and citizens are arranging local cele- brations to mark the dipping out of this costly parasite of southern agri- culture.
 Tick-Free Day.
 The Governor of Mississippi, by spe- cial proclamation, has declared De- cember 1, when by the release of 28 counties, his entire state will be freed from quarantine, day of special re- joicing. At the State House he will receive the congratulations of the United States Department of Agri- culture for the States effective CO., operation in dipping out the tick and driving a wedge of free territory through to the Gulf.
 Congratulatory messages are to be sent also to the governors of the oth- CT States and be transmitted to each county celebrating it's entry into the free cattle territory of the nation.

A NERVOUS WRECK
From Three Years Suffering. Says
 Cardui Made Her Well.

Texas City, Tex.-In an interesting statement, Mrs. G. H. Schill, of this town, says: "For three years I suffered untold agony with my head. 1 was unable to do any of my work.
 I just wanted 10 sleep all the time, for that was the only ease could get, when was asleep. Ibecame a nervous wreck just from the awful suffering with my head.
 Twas 30 nervous that the least noise would make me jump out of my bed. had no energy, and was unable to do anything. My son, a young boy, had to do all my household duties.
 Twas not able to do anything antil took Cardui. took three bottles in all, and 1t surely cured me of those awful headaches. That has been three years ago, and know the cure is permanent, for have never had any headache since taking Cardui. e.
 Nothing relieved me until took Cardui. It did wonders for me-"

What Tick Eradication Means to
 Freed Territories.

Before the ticks were dipped out these parasites annually killed many cattle with tick fever, steadily suck ed out of cattle vast quantities oi blood which should have gone to mak. meat or milk; wasted, therefore, mucl of the grain and forage fed to cattle and, finally, prevented the introduc tion of non-immune breeding stocl for the improvement of local beef ant dairy herds. The presence of the ticl barred shipments of local cattle iron the open competition of the free pen. at the packing centers and forced their owners to sell them at disad vantage from quarantine pens for i'm mediate slaughter only.
 Tick Now Dipped Out of 379,312
 Square Miles.
 The South since 1906 has succeed ed in releasing from quarantin, 379,312 square miles or over 51e6 o, the originally quarantined area Mississippi is the fifth State to be de clared entirely free, the States O, California, Kentucky, Missouri, anc Tennessee previously having been re leased. Special credit, however, ii due to Mississippi because much of thu area freed was heavily infested witl ticks. There remain in the entir' South 349,250 square miles yet in fested and to be cleaned and released from Federal quarantine. The exam pie of Mississippi, however, it is be lieved, will serve as a strong incen tive to neighboring States to wider the wedge to the Gulf until the ticl is eradicated from the entire South.
 To Break New Record in 1918.
 That this years record will be ex ceeded in 1918 and that the tick vii be banished from the nation by 191! are strong probabilities. The Statei of Arkansas and Louisiana, following the example Of Mississippi, have pass ed laws making the eradication of thu tick compulsory in every infested county. The legislature of the Stat of Texas has recognized the import ance of tick eradication, although it laws do not make eradication com pulsory in its various counties fo some time to come. Indication iron all the tick-infested States are tha in many sections the people hay grown thoroughly tired of the toll tn tick is taking and periodically ar building dipping vats and makinj preparation to free their cattle durin, the coming year.

AID FOR CATTLEMEN
 PROMISED BY HOOVER

Herbert c. Hoover, national food administrator, today promised the southwestern cattlemen to make an immediate investigation of the prices of cattle feed, especially of cotton seed products, with a view to reduc- ing these prices and saving thous- ands of cattle that are starving on the hnges because of the drought.
 A telegram from the food adminis- trator was received by secretary W. L. Amonett of the Panhandle and Southwestern Stockmen's Association and read before the executive commit tee of the association in session here Reports made to Secretary Amonett showed that range conditions in the Southwest were bad because of the drought and that, as there were no cars available for moving stock, the loss from starvation would be heavy unless relief was obtained at once.
 The association was also notified that $500 cars had been promised the cattlemen of the southwest. Of this number 2,000 will go to the south plains country of Texas, western and southwestern Texas, while the remain ing 1,500 will be distributed between Arizona and New Mexico. However, none of these cars have yet been re- ceived and the cattle situation was described as critical by the associa- tion secretary.
