is used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath, or
a dull, dizzy headache; or if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have a real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is intend
ed to first neutralize and then wash
out of your stomach, liver, kidneys
and thirty feet of intestines all the
i%ndigestible waste, poisons, sol bile
and toxins, thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipa-
ton or any form of stomach trouble,
are urged to get a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate from the drug
store and begin enjoying this morn
ing inside-bath. It is said that men
and women who try this become en-
thusiastic and keep it up daily. It
is. a splendid health measure for it
is more important to keep clean and
pure on the inside than on the out
side, because the skin pores do not
absorb impurities into the blood,
causing disease, while the bowel
pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people prac-
tice it. Just as hot water and soap
cleanse, purify and freshen the skin,
Sc hot water and a teaspoonful of
limstone phosphate act on the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Lime
stone phosphate is an inexpensive
white powder and almost t~atsteless.

BE PRETTY! TURN

Try Grndmother's Old Favorite Re.
cipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed Or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which/is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
larg bottle of this famous lold recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not in

prevention of disease.-Adv.

HOPED MORN WOULD
FIND NO STOVE in Home
MRS. BURGIN THOUGHT THE
CHANCES WERE HEAVILY
AGAINST HER.

"I was in an awful condition when
1 began taking Tanlac and had been
for two years, but Tanlac got me
back in good health" was the en-
phatic statement of Mrs. D. J. Bur-
gin, of Greer, S. c., in a statement
she gave May 10th in an endorse
ment of Tanlac. 81 was suffering
from the after effects of malaria.
My sstem was out of order, I was
weak and run down and my face was
as yellow as a pumpkin. My feet
and legs felt like they were dead
or asleep, and tingled all the time.
Really, I had begun to wonder if l
ever would regain my health, and I
didn't think I had a chance, for so
much medicine had failed to help
me. In fact, I felt so badly that I
often told my family at night I
hoped there would be no stove in the
house in the morning so I would
not have to cook breakfast. I had
stomach trouble very badly, too.
"Tanlac is the grandest thing in
the world for a condition like l was
in, and it DOR got my stt mach in
good shape, my face cleared up and
I regained the right color and my
appetite soon came back. No mat
ter how bad a headache I had, one
dose of Tanlac relieved it. Soon the
Tanlac had me feeling fine and
strong, and after l had taken two
bottles I was we'll and strong. /
took some of the Tanlac tablets
and they helped Tanlac ever so
much to get me well. These tablets
are the best I ever took.
81 am glad to recommend Tanlac,
for it is the finest and, of course,
the only medicine that ever helped
me-"

QUIT MEATS IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADL'
Take Tablespoonful of Salts if Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers.

We are a nation of meat eaters
and blood is filled with uric acid,
says a well-known authority, who
warns US to be constantly OH guard
against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating acid,
but become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminatlve
tissues clog and thus the waste is
retained in the blood to poison the
entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wea-
Their, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces Of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast each morning and in
a few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer. a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and IAN
not injure; makes a delightful eff
~fervescent lithia-water drink, and
nobody can make a mistake by TAX
ing a little occasionally to keep the
kidneys clean and active.-Adv. .

TAKE "CASCARETS" IF
HEADACHY, BILIOUS,

Best For Liver and Bowels, Bad

Get a 10-cent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, coated
tongue, head and nose clogged up
with a cold-always trace this to
torpid liver; delayed, fermentlng
food in the bowels, or sour, gassy
stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the
intestines, instead of being cast out
of the system is r~e-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
g~estion and that dull, throbbing,
sickening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and poi
sons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
~straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver

COTTON

Reports received thus Tar dnolcaIe
that cotton anthracaose, the fungus
boil rot of cotton, is even more VIDE
spread and more destructive this
aeson than heretofore. During the
past five years the disease has caus-
ed an annual loss of more than a
million dollars in South Carolina
The disease seems to be becoming
more destructive from year to year
and this in spite of the fact that the
Investigations conducted at the South
Carolina Experiment Station sho"
that it can be prevented.
We have found that the fungus
which causes anthracnose grows IN
to the inside of the diseased bolls'
attacks the lint and seed, and grows
into the seed. The fungus remains
alive in such seed until they are plant
ed and germinato and stare to grow
then it attacks the seedlings. Inc
disease remains alive on these stalks
and attacks the bolls when they ap-
near. In this way it is carried IN
the seed and continues to, spread
from year to year.
A study of the history of the out
breaks in South Carolina during the
past four years shows that IN very
nearly every case the disease was
brought to the farm in the Seed
and usually in seed of some sup
posedly highly improved variety
which was purchased at a high price
There is no way of curing a stalk
of cotton after it is once diseased
with a~nthracnose. The only thing
that you ca ndo is to protect your
cotton next year. The first and mos
important step in this is to secure
seed which are free form disease
It, is best to secure your seed for
next years planting from a Held
where there is no disease. If it is
not possible to do this, the next best
thing to do is to pick your cotton
for seed from stalks which show no
signs of disease and which are not
near diseased stalks. 1t is not safe
to pick healthy looking stalks which
have rotten bolls On them.
We have been able to get entire
ly rid of anthracnose in three badly
diseased varieties of cotton simply
by selecting our seed from healthy
stalks and then planting these seed
the following season on land which
the disease had not occurred.
We find that the disease will remain
in the land or in the old diseased
stalk and bolls for as long as one
year, but not longer than this. So
it is necessary to practice rotation
which will leave cotton off the land
for one year.
1t is advisable to rotate crops for
this and other reasons, but where
it is impossible to do this and your
cotton is diseased, the next best
thing to do is to pillow under the dis
eased stalks as soon as the cotton is
picked in the fall. Where we have
following this pratice and used seed
the following season which were free
from disease, we have had very lit
tie anthracnose.
In conclusion then l would say
not to buy cotton from any one un-
less they are willing to make atfl-
davit that it is free from anthracnose.
Select your own seed from fields
where there is no disease or from
healthy stalks in a diseased field.
Gin this cotton in a gin that has
a rotation. Plow the old diseased
stalks and bolls under as early
in the fall as possible.
