DR.. Herbert Watson. state chemist,
the principal witness for the prosecu-

that the defendant contains 8 per
cent alcohol
Every man who carries a bottle of
buttermilk on his hip is liable to
prosecution under the Volstead act.
There was great excitement and
considera BILE chagrin and embarrass-
ment among the friends of Buttermilk
| However. the exposure gave the de.

it Is thought he will do larger bust

The community was greatly shocked
to learn that this innocent old party
carried such a kick, and the rea son

past, in certain circles, is now ex
planned.

N. c. Heironimus and Timothy Mich
olson, committee on delinquent taxes,
reported at meeting of the Bureau of
Municipal Research. that it was almost
unbelievable that the majority of the
citizens who rank as wealthy, or at
least well to do, have no ready money,
no bank deposits, no accounts due
them, in short absolutely no means of
present subsistence. The committee
recommended DISTINGUISHING all men
who owe taxes.

Since modern science has at last brought
forth the amazing facts of how people
become weakened and rundown, pale and
haggard, careworn and prematurely old
often simply because of the lack Of those
life-giving substanc'S-the vitamines-
most astonishing results are being re-
ported everywhere. The remarkable ex-
perience of nervous, delicate, sallow-com-
plexioned women - worn, fretful and
unattractive-would surely seem to show
that practically any woman who is not
afflicted with some organic disease may
often quickly build up the radiant life,
splendid vitality and matchless beauty Of
perfect health simply by getting suffi-
cient vitamines into her system In ex-
planning the startling success being OBJ
tanned by administering yitamines in the
concentrated form known as Nitamon.
when practically everything else had
failed, DR.. John ]. Rudolph, former
Health Commissioner late of the
New York POSTGRADUATE Medical
School and Hospital, and Columbus
Hospital of New York, and a Grad
uate Of the University of Baltimore,
says:
Don't blame your physician or
the beauty specialist - don't blame
your creams, lotions or cosmetics
and don't blame yourself if your
body is not ungling with energy
and vitality-if your nerves are all --
unstrung If your face looks hag-
gard, your cheeks hollow. your
complexion sallow and lacking in
the radiant beauty and attractive
ness which Nature intended should
be yours. Only recently has science
discovered what you actually need
and what your body must have to
build vibrant strength, renew your
energies and keep up a fullness of
the buoyant health and life which

Farming is a business the same as
banking or running mercantile estab-'

sold and articles to be bought. The
keeping of record of these and de-
terninirg the relation Of the outgo to
the income are important considera-
lions on every farm. The farmer
should know what his income is and
Just how he is disposing of it, He
can know this only by keeping books
and the first of the new year is the
proper time to begin
