WOMEN WORKERS

In almost every line OF war aCtivi-
ties the women of this country have
done well and have taken front rank
for doing work that released thou
sands OF men for service overseas
Some women have been ovcr-ambi-
tious, and, at the expense OF their
health, have filed places; once occu-
pied by men. Every woman who. be-
ca;se ot overwork, has brought on
some ailrnent peculiar to ner sex.
SHOULD depend upon LYDIA f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound to re-
store her health and strength as this
remedy is now recognized rs the
standard and has restored multitudes.

Speaking Of nerve, one occasionally
sees a demonstration OF the simon
pure article in Augusta hotels and
:,ining rooms. For instance. Il case
Of this kind was noticed yesterday
noon when u female came into one
Of the down town dining rooms and
called for L cup Of tea. which was
nothing unusual. but after the tea
had been served to her she calmly
produced from a receptacle which
she had with her quite q substantial
lunch Of sandwiches. etc. and taking
the saucer which was served with the
tea she used it for plate and pro-
eeeded to enjoy her feed" She ha 4
paid for the cup OF tea, but after rs
ing a place at one Of the tables TO.
about half an hour and leaving I,
plentiful supply CT crumbs on the
table at which she had been sitting
(which of course the waitress had 70
clean up and also re-arranse the "a
BILE eor dnner) she went out without
even saying SO much as thank you.

KEEP WHEELS TURNING

E. w. Downey's advertisement this
week is more than an ad. II is an
editorial with some mighty good food
for thought. He advocates buying.
and in analysing the conditions in
this country It is seen that he is right.
People should buy just as they did
when times were normal. and that
way get things back to the normal.
II the millions OF men who have
been in army and other government
service are without work. conditions
will grow worse. II people thruout
the nation buy as they are able to
buy and keep the wheels of progress
moving these men will have work
end times will improve. It's no time
to say. well while things are high
I'll not buy, hut I'll sell my products
at the high prices and then l will
be ahead" That method would, II
practiced all over the country. throw
industry into stltc OF condition
where what you have saved by that
method would be of little value to
you. Let's buy. Let's keep the
wheels turning. and prosperity will
continue.

There are 400 miles of navigable
waterways in Britain, yet the actual
percentage of craft on them at the

ouery.-What do you think of paint as
an Investment, aside from the appearance
1t lends? Does 1t really PAY to paint =
house regularly. say. every three or four
years?
Answer.-Good paint properly ap-
piled when needed is the main thing in
making house last long and well. A
house worth $500 can be painted at a
cost Of about SIPS. In 60 years that
house will need about Is paintings,
the total cost of which will be 1885.
Left without paint, such house would
fall into complete ruin In 80 years. So
taking 60 years as basis for our fig
ures we find that with paint a home
will last that time in good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the end of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost, without paint, $1,000 for
home ready to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? AS the old
Dutch adage says:

with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed BY
the necessities of the war program,

improvement and repairs. These re-
scarcely a town, a city. factory, q
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-

for the time being and may be lower.
That is not logical. No matter what
1t costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost Of neglect. No matter what
the cost Of paint. the wind and the
weather will collect higher bill In
and decay.
