YOU KNOW WHAT
IS THE MATTER?
When You Feel Out of Sorts and
See Things With Dull Eye?
LOOK TO YOUR BLOOD
Pale Complexions, Languid Feelings,
Lowered Vitality, Need More Ret
Blood. Take PeptO-Mangan.

So many people spend week aI.cr
week feeling down and out. Tac5
never stop to think tha: something
really is the matter. They sa.is-
themselves by saying, och, I'm H.,
sick. I'll be all right tomorrow"
And tomorrow comes again and
again. Still they feel depressed and
languid, scarcely able to get around.
If yvI don't feel like yourself, you
are not yourself. If you ere weak
and pale, your blood needs strength
eng. You should know about Pep
to-Mangan, that famous blood tonic.
Physicians recommend it and prescribe
it because it contains just the ingrS-
dients needed to make rcd blood. It
renews your energy, putc you where
you ought to be- 1egin with it to-
day. Get the tablets if they viii be
more convenient to take than t:le II
ouid. Both have the same mcdicina:
properties. But be sure you get tn
genuine Pepto-Mang:G. Ask for
"Gude's" and be sure that the full
name, "Gude's Pepto-Mangan," is Oil

1t is earnestly 10 De nopeQ thdt lne
Williamsburg citizens will not become
so alarmed over the low price of cot
ton as to lose their heads and be-
come law-breakerS or criminals by
setting fire to gins and otherwise
causing the destruction Of valuable
property. Such acts of lawlessness
never accomplish the desired end, but
cause needles suffering on one hand,
while wanton waste marks the trail
of a diseased or criminal mentality
on the other. In Texas, in Alabama,
in Georgia and, alas, in South Caro-
lima, these desperadoes, self-styled
night-riders, have already brought
terror into many communities by bunr-
ing ginnerjes and warning farmers
against the marketing of their cotton
until forty cents the pound is Of
fered and may be obtained for it.
The men who engage in this nefarious
work belong, in our opinion, to one
of two clasSes-they are either GRIM
inals by nature, and take the cotton
situation as an grouse for putting
into operation their felonious activi-
ties; else they are men absolutely de-
void of sense of the rights of others,
have cotton of their own, are able to
hold-t off the market and for selfish
purposes want to terrorize others into
doing so. The burning of ginnerieS
or forbidding their operation will not
help to advance the price of the sta
pie. If man would hold his cot
ton, he should first have it baled.
A half loaf is better than no
bread at all-at least we'd reach this
conclusion if old hunger was rapping
at our stomachs. Then why isn't it
just as well for US to regard the cot
ton situation philosophically, take
what we can get for it, if We are
hard pushed for cash and can't nego-
tiate loan at the banks to tide US
over, rather than destroy it.
It is true that at the present price
of cotton, the cost of ginning it in
this county is too high, but this is
not the work of one man; the price
was fixed by the ginners' association
and we understand that there is
move on foot to have the price re-
duced. If there should be reduc-
ton it will probably mean the saving
of $3.50 to $500 the bale to the pro-
ducer. But this is not a big item at
all, therefore the only solution, as we
see it, is for every one of US to face
the situation bravelT If We must
sell our cotton, let's get all We can f'r
it, put the money obtained for it to
the best possible purpose, turn the
cotton cultivation business over to
the boil weevil, while We devote our
energies to more pro6tabl occupa-
tions in coming years. Merchants
are forced to take heavy losses on ac-
count of the decline in prices, and
the present situation demands that
the cotton farmer do the same if he
must sell. There is big and better
future for cotton if it is held off the
market for awhile, we don't know how
long, but by holding it the price is
obliged to go up. However, it should
be ginned. 1t cannot be with the
gineries reduced to ashes.

young woman in Flushing, Long

desired was to make little money and
use certain amount of her spare time
She therefore bought ten pounds of
peanuts and salted them in her own
little kitchen. She did it carefully.
These salted peanuts were the kind
that, having tasted, you yearned TO
taste again The local drugstore sold
some dozen packages, and for time there
was no call for more. But presently
n number of people coming in on various
errands asked whether there were any
more Of those nuts to be had The
drugstore notified Mrs Woodruff that
n demand was being created. and asked
for some more of the nuts. She also
got number Of orders for Christmas
deliveries. These orders increased SO
that che got young girl TO come in and
help her fill them After Christmas
she supposed the demand would foil

some much-desired Christmas money.

DO IT TOMORROW.

There ia something you must do,
something you dread To do, something
about your ho,isc---do il tomorrow
That is the best advice in the world.
And IL is given with the hope that some
housewife who roads IL will be inspired
thereby to put off procraetination and
do that thing which she has dreaded
and the contemplation Of which In caus-
ing her mental discomfort Almost every
one Of us has some task that we would
rather not something we must
do but something that we don't want to
do
For instance, IL may be that last
spring we threw the winter coats into
trunk without having them properly
brushed and laid away in camphor
We meant TO get nj It right away,
but we didn't They are still lying in
that trunk And we dread 20 get at
the Job because there iR the chance
that they have become moth eaten as
result of our carclesaness and we don't
want to find this out. oh, Of course,
we intend 20 get of hem aone time
why not do it tomorrow
And there il that letter. You didn't
write IL when it waa due, and then you
put it of because you didn't just know
how YOU were going 10 explain your
delay. And now YOU have doubled
tho delay and YOU know You simply
must write IL Hooner or later but you
are dreading it---Why not do il to-
morrow? II won't take more than ten
minutes and after YOU have written il
and sent II off YOU win feel 90 much
freer in mind
One Of the hardest things That the
housewife or any one else has to bear
ia the thought Of such little tasks and
duties left undone. X eally wouldnt
life be easier II you idnt have any
such commissions to 30 nder Why not

.prp-war territorial area.
This table shows quite clearly that of
all countries Germany has suffered most,
having ceded its position as the greatest
sugar country of the world 10 cuba,
which latter increased its sugar produc-
tion during the war from approximately
81. 600 600 To qO,OOO.000 hundredweight.
The reasons for this regrettable decline
in the German sugar industry are manifold
taken all together, however, one could
classify them as war effects One of these
reasons was the complete failure of the
official price policy. policy that principal
lv met the demands of the consumer but
neglected the sugar-beet farmer and his
justified demands completely. thus max
ing the cultivation of beets most un-
prof,shle and undesirable business. In
connection with this shortage the rising
price Of artificial fertilizers, particularly
nitrogen fertilizers, must be borne In
mind.
The loss Of large parts of West Prussia,
with Germanv's largest sugar factory
located in Culmsee, and cession of parts
of the Province of Posen TO the Poles
territories on which pre-eminently corn,
potatoes and sugar-beets were raised
has not only affected the general food
supply of the home country, but has also
changed the situation of the sugar in
dustry completely.
The South German sugar factories
suffer by being cut off from the usual
beet supply from northern Germany.
To meet this calamity the four largest
South German sugar concerns, those OF
Frankenthal, Waghausel, Stuttgart and
Heilbronn, have united under the uniform
administration Of six men, representing
the different concerns, the profits to be
divided according to the relative szes
of the works. The program they have
vet up il a most comprehensive one, in
cludng items such as the encouragement
n susar-beet cultivation, the improve
ment of technical appliances, the intro
duction Of rational administration Of
business in far-sighted manner, plans
for an economical coal consumption, and
the distribution of all raw materials, beets,
raw sugar, etc. under the same central
control To he able to carry out this
extensive program it will be necessary
10 increase the capital of the individual
concerns. The 60,OOo double centners
double centner@20 pounds) of sugar
beets that are worked up daily during
the season in the eight plants of the four
concerns amount 10 a value of not less
than 2.eO0o0 marks, and the import Of
refined sugar from North Germany is
estimated at 5oo,OO0,O0o marks.
