GOOD LIVESTOCK PAYS

The crisis confronting owners of
livestock Is certain to create effcien-
cy in our meat production. 1t will not
only force us to build silos and sow
more winter pastures, but it will COM
pei us to breed our cows and our
sows and our ewes to better sires than
we have been in the habit of doing
All of this will be caused by the
continued high cost of feedstuffs.
Scrub stock cannot proftably be fed
high-priced feed.
On the other hand, however Ten
nessee are confronted with the fact
that meat and meat products are
bringing record prices on the markets,
which mean that good livestock is
more profitable now than ever before
This us aptly put as follows: 'eThe
higher the price of food the more ex
pensive it i to keep poor livestock. The
1igher the price of human food the
more profitable it is to keep good live
stock"
What kind is yours?

A DAILY DUTY.

Each day every American soldier II
France is confronted by a great duty.
Our army there has q great task 10
perform for our country for the
world, for civilization, and for human
ity. Our soldiers are dong their duty
with courage and fidelity and eff
cheney that thrill every heart.
Each day every American citizen at
home is confronted by a great duty.
a duty as imperative upon him OF her
as the duty of our soldiers is upon
them. The American people have a
great task to perform. 1t is to supper,
to the limit Of their ability our army,
onr navy, our country at war.
To work with increased energy and
efficiency so that our national produc-
ton may be increased; to economic in
consumption so that more material
and labor and transportation may be
left free for the use of the govern
ment; and with the resultant savings
to support the government financially
is the daily duty Of every American.
1t is duty that will be met by every
American whose heart Is with our
soldiers in France, who glories in their
courage and fighting ability and their
success.

THE ONE AMERICAN IDEA

AS our boys in kin or friendship go
into this war by joining the ranks of
those who use guns as they fight, we
raleize all the more that we, too. must
fight by producing more and more
food crops. The one idea, whether at
home or not, is that of winning the
war for democracy.
The producers have been doing their
share. They will continue to do so.
And as they learn better what to do
they will be more successful in their
results.
The call of leaders as they look at
the worldwide situation is that more
foodstuffs be produced and that more
be saved. This does not mean that
the organization of the farm is to be
changed. all realize that this may be
war covering many years and if our
agriculture were to be disorganized for
this present year, the years that are
to come would be inadequately hand
led. We must build our farms for
permanent usefulness.
And in this connection It may be
said that community organizations for
agriculture and all war work may well
be considered from a permanent point
Of view. We shall need much food
whether the war lasts or not, and GER
tainly if the war lasts.

WHY DO ALL DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE .CAL0MEL /:

Of all the medicines in the world
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon it most universally.
There must be a good and sufficient
reason-what is it?
If you win study the doctors books
you viii find that the medical author
tiles prescribe calomel for almost ev-
cry disease. The reason is that Gallo
mel is the greatest and only thorough
system purifier. It makes the liver
active, drives out the poisons from
the stomach, bowels and kidneys and
thereby purifes the blood. Calomel
puts the entire system in the most ia
vorable condition for nature to exer-
else the recuperative power. Your
doctor will tell you that drugs merely
assist nature. That is why he pres
cribes calomel so often.
The new kind of calomel called
"Calotabs,' is refined and purified
from all of the nauseating and danger
GUS qualities of the old style calomel
and is rapidly taking its place, for it
is more effective than the old style
calomel as liver cleaner and system
purifier. One Calotab at bedtime with
a swallow of water-that's all. No
nausea, nor the slightest unpleasant
ness. Next morning you awake feel
ing fine-with hearty appetite for
breakfast. Eat what you please
fruits, acids or anything. No restric-
ton of habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Your mon
ey back if you are not delighted. (Ady.)

KEEP FARM RECORDS.

No business can be run efficiently
without records. Records must be
kept if intelligent conclusions are to
be reached covering the profit made or
loss sustained. It will not do to take
the amount Of money in bank at the
end Of the year and say q have made
so much this year.
Aside from the value Of records as
an aid to successful farming they are
rendered Imperative by the federal in
come tax law now in operation. The
farmer is, included in this law as Is
every business man and he must be
prepared with exact knowledge of his
affairs if he is to escape inequitable
taxation.

What great assistance is was to the
allies including the United States, is
shown by the statement of Sir James
Weston, financial member of the Vice
.goy's. Council, who is reported as say
ing:
Probably few people in America
realize how vitality important to India
and to midas share in the war was
the legislation passed in Washington
releasing large quantities of silver for
use in alternating the currency situa-
ton there. For this reason India as
well as the British Empire and the
allies, owe a debt of gratitude to the
United States which it is hard to over

TO THE PUBLIC:

TO THE PUBLIC:
I have been, employed at the Raids
son hotel as "houseman for one month
under Mr.. N. J. Wright and worked
with Mr.. Zack Johnson. They have
made it very uncomfortable cor me
and caused my discharge. Both
claimed that should not rent room
from a white woman, while we have
30 many colored women to rent from.
claim the right to rent from anyone
who has a room to suit me. Mr..
Wright is a deacon Of Bethesda Bap-
list church and Mr.. Johnson is known
to be very disagreeable. I take this
means to tell the public about these
men, who could do much to help men
in this position instead of using their
power to put them out of employment.
