SHALL JACKSON
COUNTY have A
FAIR THIS Year?

Inc stockholders of the Fair were
duly called to meet in Sylvia on
Saturday, April 18th. There wasn't
quorum present and but few farm
ers present. The meeting adjourned
until Saturday, May 10, at 1:3O P.
b., at which time all stockholders
and farmers are invited to be pres
ent.
The Fair was organized distinctly
for the agricultural and stock-rais-
ing interests of the County. It has
done some good in these lines, but
1t has not received the fullest CO.
operation from the agricultural in
terests Of the County generally. On
account OF the high price of labor
we are unable to find any one will
Ing to undertake to put on q farm
display. After considerable discus
sion, it was decided to put the mat
ter squarely up to the farming in.
terests of the County for pledge
OF their support and cooperation
to be expressed at the meeting on
May 10th. A mere desire to have
the Fair held will not be sufficient =
it must be hearty pledge of COOP
Grafton by the farming interests of
the County, not only in boosting the
Fair. but in preparing, bringing and
entering exhibits. A failure of the
farmers and stock raisers through
out the County to pledge their sub
stantial cooperation will mean that
there will be no Fair for our County
for 1919. The officers have filed
their designations and new officers
will be elected on May 10th.
This is written by order of the
stockholders who were present
~ ~ ~ \
COLEMAN C. cowAN,
Retiring President.
e The Journal feels that the County
should not give up the Fair. and
that this Is an opportune time to
have the best one we have ever had.
We now have Farm Demonstration
and Home Demonstration Agent,
and with the aid of these two agents,
we should be able to have Fair
that would be a credit to any Coun-
ty in the State.
II you cannot attend the meeting
on May 10th, fill out and return the
following blank to the Journal, and
it will be put before the meeting.
/, the undersig ed, do plenge my
support and cooperation to the ex-
tent that / will make an exhibit
this fall if not providentially him
dered. and will do all l possibly can
to make the fair the biggest success
ever.

many CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots OF water and above all take
a spoonful Of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin. called uric acid. which is gem
Grated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function Of the
| kidneys to filter this acid from the
| blood and cast 1t out in the urine, The
pores Of the skin are also a means Of
frdeing the blood OF this impurlty. In
| damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
| pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
| neys to do double work. they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accommodating
| and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
| muscles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge OF rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces OF Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful
in a glass OF water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys TO normal ac-
| ton, thus Kidding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts IS inexpensive, harmless and
Is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
Is used with excellent results by thou
sands Of folks who are subject to rheu-
| matism. Here you have a pleasant,
| effervescent lithia- water drink which
| overcomes uric acid and Is beneficial
to your Kidneys as well. adv.

The Brazilians went wild, he says.
Their cheers reached a madness of en-
thusiasm surprising anything of the
kind he had ever witnessed, and he
could only take it to indicate the
strongest affection and admiration for
the North American people. He was in
an automobile with several United
States naval officers and their uni
forms were given ovation after ovation
by the w~arm-hearted Brazilians.
DR., Collier has just returned to Mem

of medicine, after six months service
