False Economy.
To reduce the amount of milk,
butter and cheese and substi-
tute cleo. butterine and yegeta-
BILE fats, is to cut off your nose
to spite your face. When it
comes to the growing child, the
health, vigor and disease resist
ance in grown-ups, none of these
substitutes can replace butterfat
and milk. They will. however,
greese the griddle and may be
used in cooking, but when it
comes to the nutritive value as
actually assimulated into the sys-
TEN, or the maintaining of nor
NAL growth, health and disease
resistance, they cannot substi-
tute. Space will not permit me
| TO record all of the recent scien-
tific data and coroborating state
ments from leading physicians
all over the country as to the
truth Of the above statements.
Furthermore, the Food Admin
istration and the Government do
not want us to reduce the con-
sumption of dairy products be-
cause they recognize them as one
of the main factors in safeguard
ing the health and efficiency of
this nation and future genera
tons.
81 worth of butterfat is worth
more to your health, efficiency
and child's development than 81
worth of substitutes. We know
substitutes are cheaper per
pound and that is rs far as most
peoples knowledge and judg-
ment go. The important fact to
recognize is where does your
dollar secure the most health
and nourishment for your faml-
ly. These two last facts come
ahead Of price per pound. One
quart Of milk that you may buy
for 10 II Is cents contains
more nourishment than a pound

Get in the habit of drinking a

We're not here long. so let's make

can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailiHg, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a t%easpoonful Of limestone
phosphate in 1t to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins. The action of hot
water and limestone phosphate on an
empty stomach Is wonderfully invig-
Grating. 1t cleans out all the soul fer
n1entations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast,
The millions Of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble; others who have sal
low skins, blood disorders and sickly
compilations are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from the
drug store. This will cost very little,
but is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of inside

DEMOCRATS ARE
FACING DISASTER
Judge Roberts Exercised Over
Activity of Republican
Candidates.

Judge A. H. Roberts, of Livingston,
Democratic candidate for governor,
spent a busy day In Memphis Monday.
Monday night he left for Jackson to
spend Tuesday With the voters of Madi-
son county.
In the forenoon Judge Roberts called
on the county officials, the mayor and
city commissioners n visited the
Merchants and Cotton exchanges. In
the afternoon he received throngs Of
friends in his room at the Peabody ho-
tel. In the evening he visited the police
station and was introduced to the night
shift, Chief Burney, Ed Pass and Hulett
Smith.
Judge Roberts expressed a genuine
apprehension over the outcome Of the
election. He feels that the activity Of
Republicans is not sufficiently appre-
ciated and that the outcome of the No
vember election is going to depend In
large measure upon the activity Of the
Democrats In West Tennessee between
this time and the closing of the polls
on Nov. 5.
II can not too strongly, urge upo you
ticket in the coming election" said
Judge Roberts. 1T must be remem-
bered that on election day there will be
80, 900 Tennesseans in the army. j be-
lieve that there will be at least a ma
jority of 10000 Democrats In this body.
lnere are now Go,VOu men uTdWH Hidliily
from Middle Tennessee at the powder
plant. A conservative estimate that
5000 Of them constitutes the Demo-
cratic majority of this body. This co.
900 Democratic majority constitutes our
net loss and reduces the normal Demo-
cratic majority to the narrowest pos
sible margin"
There is a report that the senatorial
candidate, H. Clay Evans, of Force
Bill fame, Is making a strenuous fight
to defeat Senator Shields. The contest
is confined to those sections where the
Republican majority Is large and the
Republicans are cautious not to make
any demonstration that would arouse
the Democrats in their strongholds.
Senator Shields has beer III for sew
eral weeks and has been compelled to
return to his farm at Clinchdale to rest.
He will not be able to take an active
mart in the pamDairn.

How to Look Years
Less Than Your Age

The most aged face will look years
younger after the use of ordinary mer-
colized wax for from ten days to two
weeks. The remarkable substance, be-
cause of its peculiar absorptive power,
actually removes the thin veil of faded
or withered outer cuticle, a little at a
time. Gradually the fresher, more
youthful skin underneath Is revealed,
This absorption process being a purely
hygienfc one, an entirely natural COM
plexion is eacquired-quite different
from the artificial complexion which
appears anything but girlish, though
often bearing painful evidence of child
ishness. An ounce of mercolized wax,
obtainable at any drug store, Is suffi-
cient to retuvenate any complexion. It
is put on like cold cream at bedtime,
and removed mornings with warm
water.
To eradicate such age marks as
wrinkles and burrows, make a wash To-
ton by dissolving an ounce OF pow
dered saxolite In a half pint of witch
hazel. This has wonderful a%stringent
and tonic properties. 1t quickly eff
faces all kinds Of wrinkles, no matter
how caused, making the skin firm,
smooth and young looking. adv
