is the greatest curse to the health

American woman. Lack of iron in the

If you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work without becom-

after meals for weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you

FARMERS RIGHTS
STAKEO IN WAR
"Freedom OF Seas" Will Keep Europ-

Southern farmers have as much at
stake in this war as any other Ameri-
cans-It is their war.
We are fighting for the freedom
Of the soas"-the farmers right to sell
cotton, corn, wheat, rice, etc, abroad.
y he determination of the United
States to send supplies and food to the
Allies sent the price of cotton to 80
cents and above, and put the price of
food crop up to the highest figure in
fifty years.
If the Allies win this war American
farmers always can find a ready mar
ket in Europe for their products. Thou
sands of ships are being built to send
the crops abroad after the war. But
we must win to do it, Germany plans
to invade this country just as it over
ran Belgium. violence in the hands
Of government Clfic ais proves this
statement Southern farmers are en-
joying the benefit o. their crops now.
but if Germany inVades this country
their wives and daughters will be
forced to raise crops for Germany
lust as Belgian and French women
and children are forced in the fields
to feed the German army Their land
will be devastated just as Belgian
farms have been-ther land then will
be used to feed Germany and their
crops will bring them nothing.
Farmers Depended Upon
The government always has depend.
ed upon the Southern farmer to do
his duty, whether to raise more food,
fight OF finance. They have been ex.
empted from fighting thus far to en-
able them 10 raise more food, and
they have received the highest prices
for their products. Now the govern.
nent wants the farmer 10 help finance
the war. II is just as much his duty
to help finance the war as it is to raise
food.
The third Liberty Loan will soon be

NEW U. 8. ARMY RIFLE

The United States rifle, model of 1917,
commonly called the modified Enfield

the Army q sufficient time to warrant

The new rife takes a .30caliber ear

has been found that unless rim ear
tridges are fell through the magazine
