Hon. NJ. F. Hetherington,
Lakeland, Fla.

Dear Mr.. Hetherington:

Evening Telegram regarding the re-
suits of some orange groves which
were mentioned, and sent them to the
Chairman of the Farm Loan Board,
by way of showing that the growing
of citrus fruit in Florida was not a
speculative matter, and by way Of
giving the result of actual results
which were attained, to give the
Board a more just and fair estimate
of the value of citrus grove property
the idea being that when they came
to appraise these properties for loans
they will have actual facts before
them as to the earning power of
these groves Enclosed is letter lust
received from the Farm Loan Com.

War has disturb ed the
whole worlds sugar supply.
II has not only wiped out any
available surplus, but It has.
put all nations on q hand-to-
mouth basis.
The European Allies were
the first tofeel the pinch.
Before the war. enough sugar
was produced on the Con
tinent to supply all Europe.
Today, two-thirds Of this
s,Igar-producing area IS with
in the battle 1iues.
: England, ! France and other
nations have had to turn
elsewhere for q supply Of this
indispensable food.
And they came to Cuba !
the main source upon which
the United States depends for
its cane sugar. During 1917.
Cuba sold and shipped to
Europe nearly 100000 tons
Of raw sugar one-third Of its
crop.
In addition to the normal
increase in the consumption
Of sugar as food in this coun-
try, the nationwide move
ment to save the fruit crop
last season greatly increased
its use. E.:. Il.
But this increased con-
sumption Of sugar has been a
real factor in combating
waste. II enabled the Ameri-
can housewife to add to the
store Of the food Of the ma
ton at q time when fruits
and vegetables were plenti-
full and cheap.
The sugar is not only in the
fruit jar, but it has carried
into the pantries Of the coun-
try a vast supply Of fruit and
vegetables which would
otherwise have been lest.
Sugar itself is not only a food.
but it is also the great pre-
server Of other foods.
As the demand for sugar
grew. both here and abroad,
Cuba's supply was exhausted
last fall. Every available
ton In Porto Rico and other

gated the duty of designing manner

officer fer patrolling country roads,
respectfully report that we have care
fully investigated the matter and feel
that ii is not to the best interest of

Made Her Well.

of this place, says: "After the birth

all. was SO awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. Ny condition was getting
worse all the time.
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be n the bed and in
serious condition for l felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak l could
hardly live. My husband asked DR.
-about my taking Cardui. He
said, It's a good medicine, and good
for that trouble, so he got me bot
ties. After about the second bottle l
felt greatly improved. . before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it,
however, this poor circulation disap
peared. My strength came back to
me and was. soon on the road to
health. After the use Of about 5 bot
ties, I could do all my house-work
and attend to my SIX children be-

You can feel safe in giving Cardui
a thorough trial for your troubles. It
contains no harmful or habit-forming
drugs, but is composed OF mild, vege-

bad after-effects. Thousands of women
have voluntarily written, telling Of

should help you, too. Try it. E u
