MORE FOOD DRYING PLANTS
But the Government Agencies Warn
Against Poor Products and
Stock-Seling Schemes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O--The Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
and the United States Food Admins
tration agree that establishment of
more comercial plants for the drying
of fruits and vegetables is highly de-
slrable in the present emergency.
Warning is given, however, against
poor products and stock-selling
schemes. Many inquiries regarding
the extension of the drying industry,
which is in its infancy in this coun-
try, are being RECESSED,
1t is essential from the beginning
to assure products of excellent quail
ity, Government officials point out
Processes that do not give such pro-
ducts will lead to loss of capital and

The public is advised to beware of
irresponsible and INSCRIPTIONS stock.
selling schemes. Establishment of
drying plants and manufacture Of
high-grade products require skill and
experience, absence of which may
damage the industry through flooding
the market with inferior products.
Drying when properly done is recog-
nized as an efficient means of con-
serving food 1t requires no sugar.
1t is reported that the German Govern
ment has fostered the drying industry
in that country.

has just issued the annual statistical
report for the fiscal year, July /, 1917

This report will be a highly priced

else, the vast work that is being done
by the Red Triangle workers in the

Figures are usually dry and hard to

BEGINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Communities That Have Been Given
Rural Sanitation Work and Anti-Ty-
phoid Clinics Remarkably Free of
Typhoid and other Diseases.

Owing to the prevalence Of typhoid
fever in the county, DIR. f. l.. Bishop,
specialist in rural sanitation under
the state department of health and
assigned to Maury county, will hold
another series of free anti-typhoid Sc
rum clinics beginning next Saturday.
The clinics will be held at the War

limited period between the hours Of
5 aid 4 p. m. All persons desiring
these free administrations of anti
typhoid serum should be present
promptly at this hour
Although the serum is not an abso-
lutte preventive, only about per cent
of those who have taken it contract
typhoid. 10 per cent get partial i'm
munization and the remainder are
practically immune. No person who
has received the anti-typhoid admins
tration by him has contracted typhoid
in Maury county, SO far as DR.. Bishop
is informed For statistical purposes
he would appreciate 1t if any case of
typhoid contracted after taking the
serum is reported to him, so that
record of it can he made.
That the rural sanitation work and
anti-typhoid clinics in Maury county
have been beneficial is proven by the
health records in the communities

OLD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why 1t is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten :? The reason is plain--the article did not fulfil the promises of the manu- facturer. This applies more particularly to a roedicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chair system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says: Take for example. Dr. Kilnlers s Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to reconnmend for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kiimers Swamp Root IS f.le tc the fact that, so many people claim lit fulfils almost every wish in over. coming kidney liver and bladde! ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism,

 Rev. C.. A. Northrop gave. most helpfuI address Sunday afternoon at the Sheltering Arms, taking for the text, There standeth One among you Whom ye know not. Divine influences surround us all the time and often we are not conscious of them, he said. What Jesus came to do was to make men understand that God is as near and approachable as He Himself was when on earth. How vivid an inn precision Paul had of Jesus Christ though he saw Him only in a vision. We may know by fearsay. by sight. by speaking acquaintance. by a heart knowledge. Many in Norwich have heard of Christ and go no further. Others have been drilled in Sunday school and recognize His sayings but are willing to stop there A further step is heart-knowledge anything less | than that causes misunderstanding. Those who have the teachable dispo- silion will have the chance to know | Christ It is long, delightful pro- cess to know Jesus Christ, deepening as we grow older We can be inti- mately acquainted with Christ, sons and daughters of God, helping to save others by lives of self-sacrifice. This | is the salvation which Christ came to | bring.

What girl or woman hasn't heard sof lemon juice to remove complexion Dlemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face. neck, arms and handa it should help to bleach, clear, smooth en and beautify the skin-
