Which Farmer Are Your

This is the story in nutshell of successful marketing and unless we recognize the forces now operating and prepare to meet increasing com petition, we shall be destined to con tinue to labor quietly on our farms, growing only a small surplus over what we can consume ourselves and trading it for those other necessities of life which we cannot raise. Will you he good farmer, able to meet competition intelligently and through cooperative efforts profitably dispose of your cash crops, or will you be just grower allowing some one else to profit on your surplus?

An Old Mans Stomach.

As we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stomach
will rebel. When a man reaches the
advanced age of IS or. 80, you win
find that he is light eater. Be as
careful as you will, however, you will
occasionally eat more than you should
and will feel the need of Chamber
lain's Tablets to correct the disorder.
These tablets do not contain pepsin,
but strengthen the stomach and ena-
BILE it to perform it's functions natural
". They also cause a gentle move

Many quarrel would come to a
speedy ending If both sides were not
afraid of being the first to make ad-
yances. Instead of being unwilling to
take the first step, you should be glad
of the chance. Some of you perhaps,

is no greater honor than to be the

Careless Use of Soap
 SpoiIs the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully. if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkah This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil (which is pure and sreaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it fn It makes an abundance of rich. creamy 1ather, which rinses out easily. removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and excessive oil. The hair. dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, Iustrous. huffy and easy to manage.
 You can get muIsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy dt's very cheap3, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.
