KEEP THE
KIDNEYS WELL
Health ia Worth Saving, and Some
Water Valley People Know
How to Save 1t.

Many Water Valley people take
their lives in their hands by neglect
ing the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Weak kidneys are
responsible for vast amount of suf-
fering and i'll health-the slightest
delay is dangerous. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills-a remedy that has
helped thousands of kidney sufferer.
Here is a Water Valleys citizens
recommendation,
Mrs, W. B. Page, All Lee St,
says; "My back had bothered me
for some time and my kidneys didn't
act properly. l had dizzy spells and
was in pretty bad shape. Finally
l got a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Turnage-Atkinson Drug Co.,
and they brought me relief. /

PRESERVING SMOKED MEATS

Smoked meat after it is hard and
firm should be wrapped in heavy
paper and put into muslin sacks. 1t
is very important that the top of the
sack be tied properly so as to keep
insects out. Before the hams or
baoons are placed in the sacks, cut
the strings. There is great tend
ency to use the same string to hang
up the meat after it is sacked, 1t IS
impossible to tie the top of the sack
and make it insect proof if string
sticks out of the top. In tieing the
top of the sack make a double wrap
before tieing a knot, which will pre-
vent the entrance Of any insects
Each sack should be painted with
yellow wash and then each piece can
be hung up for future use. Never
stack the hams and bacons in pile
after yellow wash has been applied.

Why the Consolidated School J.
More Efficient.

/. There can be mere life and
activity of all kinds, and a much
finer school spirit than is possible in
the smaller school.
2. The school can be better
graded.
8. Better teachers are sought
and ecured by the authorities.
A. Better buildings and inspec-
ton are attained,
S. Other Improvements will lead
to longer terms
6. The larger spirit and life ol
the consolidated school induce great
er punctuality and regularity OF at
tendance.
Z. There is much better super
vision.
s. The consolidated school can
and should become social center.
8. In many consolidated schools
the policy has been adopted Of build
ing, at or near the school, resi-
dence for the teacher, and OF select
ing as teacher a married man, who
will make his home there among the
people whose children he is to teach,
Such a teacher should be real com
munity leader in every way, and his
tenure of service should be perma-
nent.

at school which is so far from home.
5. Children misbehave on the

EVERY DAY AT SCHOOL
Is WORTH NINE DOLLARS

The life expectancy of the average
high school boy is more than 40
years. In Springfield, (Mass.) the
commercial department made study
of its graduates covering a period of
seven years. These graduates went
into business at an average salary
of S400, but rose rapidly at an
average increase of about SIG per
year, those who were out as long as
seven years averaging at that time
more than $1,000 each year. These
salaries will of course, continue to
rise for several years yet. These
figures, too, were compiled before
the present high cost period. The re.
suits will likely prove the same how
ever.
If we take the average annual
salary of $1,000 for a period Of forty
years and compare it with the IL
literate laborer's salary of $500 per
year for the same lenght Of time,
we can see how richly the child and
the community are repaid for each
day the child attends school.
81 900 for forty years ---
equals ---- $4,000
equals -.-E--- $4,000
Difference " $4,000
Twelve years of $50 days each, OK

SUGAR PROSPECTS
LITTLE BRIGHTER

People who have soft-pedaled the
sugar bowl for six years may be in.
terested in the statement that crop
conditions on July 1 promised an in.
crease in next falls sugar produc.
tion in the United States; an in
crease amounting to, approximately
SSS,OoO tons or enough to load q
train Of freight cars 70 or rs miles
long, allowing 40 tons per car. This
prospective crop is equal to more than
22 pounds Of sugar for every man,
woman, and child within the United
States, and the increase over last
year equals more than six pounds
per person. The sugar-beet crop
this year Is almost a million acres as
against the 5.year average of about
two-thirds Of a million; and the
growing condition on July was above
the 10-year average. There is more
than half a million acres Of sugar
cane this year, about half Of which
is intended for sugar and the other
half for sirup, after deducting con-
siderable amounts for planting the
next crop. There is a substantial in
crease in average over last year, es.
pecially in Louisiana, where nearly
all the cane sugar of the United
States is made. The growing condi-
tion Of the cane in Louisiana is much
better than last year but consider
ably under the average for the past
nine years. The Department Of Az
riculture, which has carried on a
number Of projects looking toward
making this country self-sustaining
from a sugar standpoint, is co-operat-
ing with other agencies in protecting
the crops from insects and disease
and otherwise promoting the produc-
tion and utilization of bumper sugar
crop. It should be borne in mind,
however, that the forecast for 1920
is based upon conditions on July 1,
and the actual outtum would be
above or below this forecast accord
ing as condition between July l and
harvest are better or worse than
average,
