ECONOMIC WIFE YOU DON'T
HAVE TO!

The time to economic is when you
don't have to.
Said a business man the other day:
Nearly every company has prosper
Gus seasons and unprosperous ones
times when money comes easy and
other times when income falls short
of outgo. And the usual tendency is
to drift along while times are good,
then skimp, cut and economic when
dence in prosperous times would save
times are hard. Yet simple, wise pru-
twice as much as even extreme eco
nomy saves in hard times"
This lesson is good one for farm
ers also. When cotton is % or 80
cents a pound, too many farmers and
tenants spend recklessly for things
they don't need at all. Then year
or two later when cotton is Is or
10 cents pound, they become scared
and stingy and haven't money enough
to buy things they sorely need.
This is all wrong. The time to eco
nomize is when you don't h.ve to.
The time to make hay is while the sun
shines. The time to save money is
while there is money to save. You
rat present prices easier than you can
save ST when times are hard.
Let us preach this doctrine this fall
to everybody from the poorest tenant
to the wealthiest landlord. Save
money-and then remember that up
to the point where your farm is fully
equipped, the wisest place to invest
money is in your own business, not
in somebody else's business. A saw
ings bank will pay you per cent for
money, and ordinary loans from to
per cent, varying in different states |;
but if your farm is poorly equipped
with work stock, tools, or machinery
or if your land is poorly drained,
then money invested in these things
may pay you 10 to 80 per cent per
annum.
From the richest to the poorest,
let's all remember this lesson. Let
the tenant without cow buy COW.
| Let the tenant who has only cow,
buy horse and tools, Let the ten
ant who has only one horse and tools,
buy another horse and better nipple
ments. Let the tenant who has horses
and equipment, buy land. Let the
man who has land provide all needed
increase in equipment or work stock,
or breeding stock, drain his land,
paint or improve his buildings, etc.
The best time to economic is when
you don't have to- The best place to
invest money is in your own business
rather than somebody else's.-The
Progressive Farmer.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and
only effective remedy for a bad cold,
sore throat, influenza, or la grippe
is what he calls "a brisk calomel
purge" which means a big dose of
calomel at bed time. But as the old
style calomel had some very unpleas-
ant and dangerous qualities physi
clans and druggists are now recon-
mending the improved nausealess cal
omel, called "Calotabs" which is puri-
fed and refined from the sickening
and dangerous effects and whose med
icinal virtues are vastly improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water,-that's
all. No salts, no nauseau nor the
slightest interference with your diet,
pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist guarantees
Calotabs by refunding the price if
you are not delighted. (adv.)

''You don't look well, Anne. What

Poor Anne let the f1oodgates Of her

"Never mind about me-" answered
Judith. II am wildly happy just to be

REDUCING MARKETING COST BY
ADVERTISING

There is hardly farmer who can
not do advertising to advantage. One
of the greatest of farm problems is
that of selling what is grown. A man
may grow a big crop but unless he
can dispose of it at profit, he would
be better off to have grown no crop at
all
Advertising may be used to advan-
tage in selling crops when they are
so large that they will not be taken
by local demands. This is true of al
most any farm p1oduct-potatoes,
apples, livestock, poultry, cane syrup,
and hundreds of other things.
