REFUSED A DRINK
SURPRISED FRIENDS

Last month a st. Joseph business
man who had been a regular drinker
for years was discharged from the
Neal Institute, freed from the craving
for alcoholic liquors. His drinking
friends could not understand why and
how he could refuse to drlnk-some-
thing he had never been known TO do
before. They were greatly surprised
when told he had spent three days at
the st. Joseph Neal Institute, and had
been freed from the appetite for drink
by the Neal Drink Habit Treatment,
which Is a safe, sure, internal vegeta-
BILE remedy-hypoderm injections are
never used, What was done for this
man can also be done for you-or for
drinking husbands and sons-if you

The recent term of circuit court in
this county lasted only three DAYS and
as large a proportion OF the docket as
usual was disposed Of. There was not
a single criminal case requiring even
Jail sentence on the docket. and
most all the important cases were on
the equity docket and were mostly
partition actions This is real com.

We are all at danger point. On

1918 farm and garden operations de-
ponds prosperity or our "going broke"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres Of cotton
you ever grew!
