act most unwisely if he tries to Guilt

be not to increase the acreage devoted
to cultivated crops, but to produce
more per acre, by the use of fertiliz-

and without making you sick, you
just go back and get your money.

bearing, as we'll as their evident meas

AN ODE TO HEALTH

Health of itself makes life a per-
petual joy. Nothing daunts, nothing
discourages and nothing OverpOWers
the man and woman possessed Of
health. Health means not only vigOr
and energy of body but also clarity
and strength of mind; purity and
beauty of soul. The healthy person
dominates life instead of allowing life
to dominate. him. He scarcely thinks
of his body as consisting of parts or as
performing separate functions. To
him the body is but one harmonious
whole. He is a unit, a being, a man;
complete, vigorous, perfect. To such
a man work is a JOY. He regards OBJ
stacles as but opportunities for test
ing his strength. He hardly knows
what WEAKNESS is. He W expert
ences exhaustion. Merely to grasp his
hand is a pleasure. To gaze into his
eyes II a. Joy. To hear his voice is 10
feel a thrill pass over one. To peer
into his mind serves as "A stimulus TO-
achievement. Health supplies
the courage, the a~ggressiveness in life.
Without health one is bankrupt re-
CARELESS of what his financial capital
may be. He becomes a cipher IN the
world of real men and women. If you
have health, then friends, cherish it,
guard it, and treasure it as you treas
ure life, for out of it are the issues of
life"

Raleigh.-If the American people
are to fulfill their duty to the Allies
by supplying the armies with food
stuffs, and their duty to humanity in
saving the lives of as many starving
women and children in Europe as the
crippled shipping facilities will per-
NIT, they must reduce their consump-
ton Of wheat at least 80 per cent from
today until the next harvest, reduce
their consumption of pork in the same
degree and economic rigidly in the
s Of beef, fats and sugar.
Intensified Food Program.
To meet the demands Of the des-
perate condition that exists in Europe
with regard to the food situation, the
Food Administration has announced
an intensified food conservation pro-
gram. The 1918 home instruction card
which will be available for every
household in the State within the next
two weeks calls for:
Two wheatless days in each
week and one wheatless meal
every day. The wheatless days
will be Monday and Wednesday.
One meatless day (Tuesday)
and one porkless day Saturday,
and a meatless meal in each day
of the week.
Terms Explained.
On wheatless days and in wheatless
meals no wheat bread, crackers, pas
try, macaroni or breakfast food con-
tanning wheat should be used beyond
the amount necessary to thicken soups
or gravies or bind together corn meal
or other substitute cereals. On meat
less days no pork OF beef products of
any kinds or mutton or lamb should be
served, fish, poultry and game being
substitutes. On porkless day and on
other days mutton and lamb should be
used in preference to beef.
Every day should be fat-saving day
and sugar-saving day, and at every
meal fruits, vegetables, potatoes, milk
and all other more or less perishabls
and local products should be used as
largely as possible in the place of
wheat, beef, pork, fats and sugar which
are best adapted to export.
New Home Card Coming.
Every housewife and every hotel
and cafe IN the State should have q
1918 home card just as soon as they
are issued from the press which win
be not later than February 10. They !

THREE HUSKY FELLOWS READY TO
HELP OUT IN THE LABOR SHORTAGE

six times this amount of money eX-
pended in labor. For example, one
ton of good fertilizer will now cost
about $46.0 The plant food in this
quantity when applied to three acres
of land will give an increase of about
$50 pounds of lint cotton and 1900
pounds of seed. The lint at SOC per
pound amounts to $225.O 0 and the
seed at $4,000 per ton amounts to
$4,000, making a total of $285.00.
Few business concerns net so per
cent increase o N money invested in
labor, but, granting that the farmer
will net 100 per cent on his invest
ment in labor, and supposing that he
pays $1.OO per day for labor, the
$4,000 invested in fertilizer, when in
vested in labor, would net him $4,000;
whereas, when invested in fertilizer, it
gives him a net increase of $239.OO.

Likewise an improved piece of ma
