From all over North Carolina comes
the call for experts to assist in the
food conservation campaigns and the
office of Mrs. Jane McKimmon, home
demonstration agent, has been flooded
with kilograms from various counties
asking for agents to give instruction
in the canning club work in those
counties.
This month even counties, Pitt,
Washington, Nash, Warren, Rowan,
Stanly and Avery have arranged to
have local demonstrators in their
counties and five Of them have appro-
priated sufficient money to have a
home economic director at full pay
and in addition will furnish them an
automobile for their work. In the
three to six year counties, where home
demonstrators have been employed,
the canning club girls are inaugural
ing an endless chain movement with
the result that instruction is going
forward at a highly gratifying pace.
Not only are the white women given
instructions in the canning club work,
but the cOlored women are receiving
advice.
From Buncombe, Miss Jennie Whita-
ker, an advanced member of the girls
canning club there, has been selected
to take up the canning club work at
the Rosemary mills. This young lady,
because of the interest she has taken
in the work, has been selected for an
important work that carries with it a
comfortable salary.

YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT

You say to the drug store man
"Give me a small bottle of %freezone.'
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corr or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corr relieves the soreness in.
stant1y, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that %freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.

SECOND LETTER TO BOARDS
OF COMMISSIONERS.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
Doings and Happenings That Mark
the Progress Of North Carolina Peo'
pie, Gathered Around the State
Capital.
Raleigh.

OF such great Importance does Gov
ernor T. W. Beckett consider the cult
walton of t%enantless and vacant farms
In this time of stress and danger that
he has addressed a second letter to
the boards Of country commissioners
OF the counties of the state urging that
there be no delay in this activity. The
/ governors letter tells its own story.
It is as follows:
In the emergency we now face not
only patiotic duty but the necessity
OF protecting the people of our own
state from want demands that we in.
crease our acreage and production Of
staple food and feed crops by every
means at our command. AS the con.
stituted authority in your county, upon
you rests the responsibility of doing
everything possible to protect your
people fro m%threatened hunger and
deprivation.
THE farmers of our state are rally.
ing to the extent Of their ability to
the demand for increased food and
feed production, but they are handi.
capped by a shortage of labor and
work-stock and they are not going to
be able to supply the deficit of food
n feedstuffs we shall face. 1t is
imperative therefore that steps be
taken to increase acreage and produc-
ton by other The greatest
opportunity we have for doing this is
through the use of our road forces of
men and workstock in the cultivation
Of idle and tenantless farms, many of
which exist in practically every coun-
ty in the state. The production of
foodstuffs is more important in this
crisis ever than the building Of good
roads, and I am again writing to urge
that you take. this matter up In your
county without delay.
'"You have ample authority, accord
ing to the attorney general, to use
the road forces for this purpose and
you should not only raise sufficient
feed for your stock and Food tdE Your
workers but a surplus for the mar
ket, the proceeds Of course to be add
ed to your road fund.
MANY landowners of the state are
offering tenantless land for cultiva-
ton in food crops free of charge. A
statement in your county papers re-
questing the owners of vacant lands
to communicate with your board will
no doubt result in the offering Of all
the land you will be able to take
are Of rent free, or at a nominal rem
tai"

and hips. I would have a bad sick
headache every time, which would gen.
orally last two days. I had always
heard what a good medicine Cardui
was, ST l thought I would try 1t. I
used two bottles and it helped me.
"Fifteen months later l began to be

But at these times I did not have any
pain and do not now suffer any pain.
But I was very nervous, so nervous
that my hands would shake. Any noise
would make me jump. So / took two
more bottles of Cardui. I have never
been rvo since and do not
have any pain. I think this is all due
to Cardui and Black-Draught."
Cardui, the woman's tonic, is COM
posed only of pure, vegetable ingredi-
ents, which have been recognized for
many years by standard medical books
as of great medicinal value.
With a wonderful record of over 40
years to its credit, Cardui has proven
its merits in the treatment of ailments
peculiar to women.
If you are weak and nervous, and
need a good, reliable, female tonic, try
Cardui. At any drug store.-Adv.
