PROPER FOOD FOR WEAK
STOMACHS.

The proper food for one man
may be all wrong for another.
Every one should adopt a diet
suited to his age and occupation.
Those who have weak S:omachS
ueed to be especially careful and
should eat slowly AM masticate
their food thoroughly. 1t is also
important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they be-
come cOnstipated or when they
feel dull and stupid after eating,
they should take Chamberlain's
Tablets to strengthen the stOm-
ach and move the bowels. They
are easy to take and pleasant in
effect.

come.
District Chairmen are request
ed to hold meetings in various
portions of their territ ,ry during
the coming and following weeks.
This is highly important be-
fore it is too late to get out full
and bigger crops.
There is great interest in the
Patriotic League movement thru
out the country.
Rockcastle was among the first
to start county and district or
CARNATIONS along this line.
All farmers, in fact everyone
in our county should take per.
sonal interest in this the most I'm
pOrtant question now before the
country. 1t is war times and no
one can predict what is before us,
probably actual hunger if every
one doesn't do his full dutv in
working and to waste nothing.
Rockcastle should raise enough
to supply her own needs or she
may possibly suffer for the reason
thatthe great demand for soldiers
may Cause such scarcity that
prices may become prohibi,ive.

ROCkCASTLE PATRIOTIC
LEAGUE.

To the end that our county
should do its bit duling these
perilous times. an organization of
our people is being made, to be
known as the ROckcastle Patriot
ic League. Its object being to
get everyone interested in the
question of putting in and cult
waiting larger crops and gardens,
the raising of live stock and poul-
try. and the practice of economy
in all food produces and every
thing pertaining to the susten-
ance of life and It's comforts. To
work. preserve and SAVE as has
never been practiced before.
After the ipatriotic meeting
held>st Mt. Vernon on 23rd April
a Central Executive Committee
was named for the purpose of Or
ganizing two branches of Leagues

i'll the county with DR.. VI Penn

ganizrtioas have been made

This is one OF the most impOr.
tant moves started in our county
since the talk of war began.
County Agent Spence, who will
act in connection with his govern

our League and will prove a
most valuable acquisition to the
ranks He has been been work
ing in the harness along these
ines, in a portion of this county
for past three years and what he
has accomplished in the work is a
big surprise to everyone learning
of what has been done by this
untiring representative of Uncle
Sam.
In organizing branches of the
league each district or division
will have a chairman and FIVE ex
ecutive Committeeman, so ar
ranged as TO cover the various
portions of their district The
duty of these, and all other mem
bers is to preach agriculture and
do a good part of the work them
selves. Consult with your preach.

in his sermons and talk to the
people, visit neighbors encOur-
age them to increase their crops
and refuse to sell any brood sOws
mares or ewes to 60 out of the
county.
The county agent will spend
two thirds of his TINA in this
comfy aiding and assisting in
this great work. AS soon as the
five magisterial districts have
been organized a meeting will be
held at Mt. Vernon In which the
and five members of
executive committee of each dis
trict are expected to be present

and advice will be given to them
as to best manner of procedure

LIVES OF SUCH MEN AS WASHINGTON ARE
ALWAYS PATRIOTIC INSPIRATION.

Every patriotic citizen in Price should from
time TO time mediate upon the life and achieve
ments Of George Washington, who was not only
father of his country" but whose life has been
a never dying inspiration to freedom loving, lib
erty worshiping Americans. In these dark days
of world turmoil, the granite fortitude of Lin
coin is most frequently referred to as an ex-
ample to follow. The British long ago have stud
led Lincoln's attitude during the civil war and
have sought to copy it.
The Sun thinks the life of Washington is
equally as inspirational to nations and indivi-
duals under extreme stress. Nothing in history
seemed so forlorn, for instance, as the abiect
condition Of Washington's troopers at Valley
Forger-the lowest ebb in despair that ever came
to American arms. Yet through that critical,
hungry winter, Washington remained Washing
ton-the farseeing, immovable, determined
statesman.
The Sun can do nothing better than to COM
mend to the attention of readers reading of the
Farewell Address" In these times of tremen-
dous international stress il will be as nourish-
ment to the soul. And, The Sun would add that
resurvey of how Washington led this republic
through the travails of birth to firm footing
10 place in the sun'--w likewise be of adj
vantage.
Lives lived like those of Washington miss
their influence upon our own life If ave do not
constantly mediate upon them. The more we
know Of Washington, the better citizens we be-
come. II is possible that some Of our citizens re.
tain school boy knowledge" of Washington
that is. they have read studied or pondered little
about him since they had to when they were
school boys
II one Of these, reader. get out Of that lament
able rut right away. Let such lives as that of
Washington be patriotic inspiration to you con-
stantly.
