PEA GROWERS ATTENTION.

Milford, Del, February 4th, 1918.
To Our Growers of Peas for the Cannery
Dear Sirs:-
We find that quite large part Of our
growers of the past year are calling
upon US for an increased amount of
seed, over and above the quantity they
planted last season.
We feel under obligations to all our
growers, on our 1917 list, to take care
of their requirements, so that they will
not be disappointed in their plans to
grow Peas for US the present season.
At the same time we must expect all
those who wish seed from US, to let US
know at the earliest possible date what
quantities they will need. We can only
wait a reasonable time to hear from all,
after which we would feel at liberty to
give out increased quantities to those
growers who have applied for them, or
to take care of some new growers that
are waiting to get seed from US.
We would therefore thank our friends
to notify US if possible the present week
as to their requirements, so that we
may take care Of them.
The price Of the seed to the growers
will be $500 per bushel, plus the cost OF
the sacks, and we will pay for the crop
Of Peas cents per pound, delivered at
the Cannery.
Part of our Seed Peas are in the ware
house, and the balance are on the way,
and all will be ready for delivery about
the first of March.
In my absence the contracts will be
looked after by Leonard ]. Matthews
and James r. Kirby at the Cannery.
Yours very truly,
1t F. A. TORsCH.

"Our fve-year-old son Paul caught a
severe cold last winter that settled on
his lungs and he had terrible coughing
spells. We we're greatly worried about
him as the medicine we gave him did
not help him in the least. A neighbor
spoke so highly of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy that / got bottle of it. The
first dose benefited him so much that /
continued giving it to him until he was
cured"

A HINT TO THE AGED,

If people past sixty years of age could
be persuaded to go to bed as soon as
they take cold and remain in bed for
one or two days. they would recover
much more quickly, especially If they
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
There would also be less danger Of the
cold being followed by any of the more
serious diseases.

ABOUT CONSTIPATION.

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tee and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement OF the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
cOnstipated, however, the sure way IS
to take one or two Of Chamberlain
Tablets Immediately after supper.

WAY OF
 GIVING RECEIPT

MORALES, Ariz., May 3O.-Fines for violation of traffic laws, with the receipts therefor given in thrift stamps, is feature of traffic edu, cation and thrift stamp campaigning here.
 The town marshal recently took his stand on corner, where the traffic is heavy, and began to halt drivers of automobiles and other ve- hicles, whenever he detected vio- lation of traffic ordinances. Given the ordinary traffic ordinance, and the ordinary motorist, the marshal said he could always find something to hang on them," and his theory proved correct.
 As every technical violator drove up, the marshal brought him to a halt, assessed a fine, told the offend CT that the fine should be paid on the spot, and then offered thrift stamps in the amount of the fine by way of receipt.
 The plan worked, as the marshal turned in $216 to the thrift stamp committee after spending only few hours at his task.
