GEORGIA SIMPSONS STAKE.

There are five children in the
family of Georgia Sampson, who
washes clothes and windows and
floors, to earn a living for herself
and the five and to make life roster
for her patrons.
There is no one to help with the
living because Jim, Georgia's aimia-
BILE husband, saw fit to wander too far
into the turbulent stream which ap-
pealed to his sportsman instincts
and it carried him off his feet.
While she was hanging out line
full of snowy-white, wet clothes the
other day, her employer was helping
her and getting the ever present
value of Georgia's conservation at
the same time, and the question of
household expenses arose.
"It takes right smart lot of
hustlin' now" Georgia commented
through the clothespins in her mouth,

erty Bonds and buyin' what we
gotta eat, it keeps me sure busy"

coats and planted her hands on her
hips.

Why DO ALL D0gT0RS PRE-
SCRIBE CALOMEL?

Of all the medicines in the world,
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon it most universally.
reason-what is it?
If you will study the doctors books
you will find that the medical au-
thorities prescribe calomel for almost
every disease. The reason is that cal
omel is the greatest and only thor
oughly system purifier. 1t makes the
liver active, drives out the poisons
from the stomach, bowels and kidneys
and thereby purifes the blood. Cal
omel puts the entire system in the
most favorable condition for Nature
to exercise her recuperative power.
Your doctor will tell you that drugs
merely assist Nature. That is why
he prescribes calomel so often.
The new kind of calomel, called
"Calotabs," is refined and purified
from all of the nauseating and dan
gerous qualities of the old style Gallo
mel and is rapidly taking it's place,
for it is more effective than the old
style calomel as a liver-cleanser and
system-purifier. One Calotab at bed
time, with a swallow of water-that's
all. No nausea, nor the slightest un-
pleasantness. Next mornig you awake
| feeling fine-with hearty appetite
| for breakfast. Eat what you please
fruits, acids or anything. No restric-
tions of habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Your money
back if you are not delighted.

A humble man, who, one July af-

or his ripe wheat fields, or his ripen-

had never liked and had managed
to tolerate only because of soldering,

the Belgian frontier; made the &C
quaintance of danger under all its

usinesssis good, thank you.

Businesssis good, thank you.
Almost without exception this may
be said truthfully of any line.
To-day it is no longer a buyers
market. Just the reverse. The buyer
is taking what he can get and is glad
to get it. 1t is sellers market of
the most pronounced sort. And
never has there been greater de-
mand at better prices.
| And this despite the fact that
nearly ten billions of dollars have
been invested in Liberty Bonds and
four billions more taken from the
public purse by taxation within the
last fiscal year.
Never have conditions as whole
been better, the country more pros
porous.
Pessimists year ago predicted
the worst of dire results as conse-
quence of the imperative tremendous
| sale of Liberty Bonds.
1; But the savings bank deposits have
almost maintained their normal rate
of increase throughout the country,
although people are spending more
money than ever before. And the
average man has more of it to spend.
His earning power in many cases has
doubled.
All of which augurs we'll for the
coming biggest anti-Hun drive OF
them all.
Folks no longer hesitate to buy
Liberty Bonds.
They know they are the safest in
vestment on earth. They know that
back of them stands all the wealth
of this country. They know that such
investments will not adversely affect
financial conditions. They know
that every dollar so invested not
only will stimulate activity, but will
insure the continuance of American
independence and speed the day OF
world freedom.
Americans are no longer appre,
hensive of the Liberty Bond.
They are for it, strongly.
So much so that they're already
saving up.

THE RETIRING FARMER

Comes a story from various sec
lions of the State that farmers are re-
firing from active tilling of the soil
at a much earlier age than has been
their custom in bygone years. Most
of them are remaining at the old
homestead, few are drifting into the
villages.
But they are turning over to their
boys the active farm work.
And in these localities the reason
is no secret.
1t is merely an effort to save their
sons from the draft.
The public at large will have no
quarrel with the farmer for retiring.
Generally it recognizes that in the
mast the farmer has been having
having rough shedding. And it has
no complaint now that he is finally
coming into his own, approaching
fully that conditions not of his MAX
ing. but of world dictation are put
ting and keeping prices for his pro-
ducts where they are to-day. 1t may
RTuIUDlS HULK, Oul IL PNJ
price.
For folks generally are pretty
liberal minded.
But unless the retiring farmer
does his part in the next Liberty
Loan drive, buys Uncle Sans Liberty
Bonds in a measure proportionate tt
his prosperity, and puts aside al
doubt that he is doing his duty to the
utmost, there is likely to be a deci
sive protest against this automatic
immuning of his sons.
For the public has little patienc'
lust now with Stacking or subter
fuge
1t expects every man to do his dut!
by Uncle Sam:
Not excepting the farmer.
