Thrift Gardens For 1918.

Extension Farm News.
Because Of the present world short
age Of food supplies and the urgent
call from Europe to This country for
such supplies as can be shipped, it
is imperative that every one on the
land in this country do his utmost to
grow all the food possible. Every
pound of food produced. even if it
may be used at home, releases that
much more for shipment abroad. The
object, therefore, of Thrift Gardens
| is twofold, states Mr.. W. N. HUT,
Rcrticulturist, North Carolina Exten-
sion Service. First, to promote thrift
and encoul age the product on of home
supplies, d, second, to release food
for shipment to our Allies in distress
in Europe. A planned, well-man-
aged garden can be made to produce
an abundant supply of fresh whole
some fruits and vegetables that will
meet the needs of the family the year
round, and often, in addition. have
some to spare for those who cannot
enjoy the luxury Of a garden of their
own.
The size Of the garden in town need
be limited only by the size of the lot,
while the garden in the country should
be limited to the supply OF LABOR avail
able to insure it's being we'll cared for.
The hand labor in the country garden
can be reduced to a minimum by
! spacing the rows wide enough apart to
admit of the convenient use Of the
horse cultivator. In the town garden

In the country, where poultry usual

limited, poultry must be confined. The
garden in town then becomes val

to profitable poultry keeping.
A well-plarned garden should in

at least wide enough to satisfy the
varied tastes of all members Of tie

"The folks in Robson haven't quite

DIR. A. J. Ellington, of the State
Board of Health, who has just return

Quoting a three weeks life extension
campaign in that county. They are
literally turning out by the hundreds
to secure a free medical examination
for any possible physical defects, and
where found they are setting about to
remedy them in an endeavor to pro-
long youth and defer old age"
According to DIR. Ellington, over
800 Robesonians made application for
these free physical examinations with
in fc-y weeks after the first public
announcement was made. While DR..
Ellington and DR.. w. A. McPhaul, the
county health officer, have both been
working continuously for the last
three weeks, they have not been able

applied.

DR.. Ellington, while these people have
not had the benefits Of medical inspec-
ton Of schools il their childhood dagT,
they are now resolved to do their
very best to prolong life and make 1t
as efficient as possible.
Hoover Forces Correct Eating.
Herbert Hoover is proving himself
the best health officer in North Caro-
lina," said DR.. Ellington, Of the state
board of health, in commenting on the
result of several hundred physical ex-
aminations recently made in Robson
county. Zone of the most striking OBJ
servations made by the examining
physicians in this work." continued
DR.. Ellington, lis the marked decrease
in errors of diet and digestional dis
turbances, resulting from the use OF
a more rational diet, containing less
meats, less constipating white flour
and more fruits, vegetables nj ',slse
rought articles of diet"
Continuing, DR.. Ellington stated
that where last year it was not un-
usual to find that many people were
indulging in meats three times day
now it appears that meat twice day
is about the maximum, and in many
cases, and these were usually the best
cases, the individual ate meat Only
once or twice week. Upon question
ing many persons examined, they ad-
mitted that prior to Mr.. Hoover's tccd
conservation campaign, they ate mu';i
more, particularly of meats, pastries
and concentrated, constipating foods
but now with the high price Of meats

served and dried fruits and vegetables

many European countries where ex

curtailed early in the war.
Another interesting point notet
was that school teachers, as a class
seemed to have fewer errors of die
than any other class. The doctor hae
no explanation to offer III regard tt

A Hint to the Aged.

Ii 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, especial
" 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.

Get Ready for the 3rd Liberty

This week the Independent has
issued an extra sheet, or supple

the 3rd Liberty Loan which will
be inaugurated in Bon Homme

Read the supplement carefully
and especially the articles on the
barbarous actions Of the German
Huns. The articles are only a
few instances, by no means the
worst, of crimes committed by
the Huns of Germany. Bon HON
me county's quota is S517 800 90.
The county is being divided into
districts and the amount we have
to raise is apportioned to every
one according to his or her ability
to pay. This apportionment is
made by the government and ex,

fmanded, not expected, that every
one does his share commensurate
with his ability to buy these
bonds. Slackers will be kept on
