Writer Says Old Folks Need Help of Tonic to Withstand Cold
Avoid Coughs-Bronchiis, Blood
Troubles and Indigestion
TONIC HE RECOMMENDS HELPS STOMACH
DIGEST HEAVY WINTER FOODS BETTER
Says Old and Young Should Eat
Meats, Hot Cakes, Etc.
PROVES WHAT HE
CLAIMS TRUE

1t isn't as easy for old folks to
change from summer foods to heavy
heat-making foods like oat meal,
hot cakes, pastries, meats, etc. as
it was when they were young. Their
digestion and appetite need stimu-
lating in the fall. Their blood isn't
as thick and vigorous as young
folks. They need a tonic to enrich
the blood so they can withstand
Geld, wet weather and keep warm.
Their throats and lungs are not as
good at warding off colds, coughs
etc, as in younger days-that is
why so many take a tonic at this
season.
Everybody, old and young, should
go through this winter-hale, hear
ty and strong without an ache, pain
cough, cold or single day of sick
ness-and how thousands of elderly
people do it is told below-there is
no reason why anyone should not
systematically start fortifylns
themselves in a modern, np-to-date
way.
TELLS WHAT TO DO.
Chemistry has taken many steps
forward since days of old-they
have succeeded in taking out the
oily. nauseating taste-they have
found lust how much of each me-
dicinal element can be absorbed by
the human system in one dose
thew have blended in nice tasting
doses more powerful and palataole
nutrient, reconstructive principles
and with an eye to weakened stom-
achs of old folks have made 1t pal
,.b,e and agreeable to the weakest
stomach.
druggists and chemists assert the
new and more powerful tonic
"Earle's Hypo-Cod"-is the best yet
This pleasant tasting, quick acting
nutritive, digestive, Alternative. re-
tonic contains extrac-
tives and peptones of cod liver oil
or cod liver, enhanced incidentally
h., extract of malt, extract of-wild
cherry, hypophosphates of lime, po-
tassium. manganese, iron, strych-
nine. uuinine and sodium. The for
r,uIa appears on the bottle. The iron
therein is inorganic and readily as
simulated by the blood.
Little wonder folks who formerly
used only cod liver oil-or hypo-
simply iron, have
found Earle's Hypo-Cod so much
more effective. The system can only
a hsorb a certain quantity of any ele-
s,,nnt-It is wiser to take the var
IONS elements for building up the
whole system instead of overdosing
with a single medicine, in the writ
er's opinion.
In Earle's Hypo-Cod the chemist
has given humanity wonderfully

season of the year!

through their sixteen major activities,
has proven a great success in trans

The government does not favor the
holding Of cotton by Southern farmers,
and they may expect no aid from the
government. The following Is an ex-
tract from recent speech by secretary
Houston, delivered in Washington
City, In response to an appeal for aid
at the hands Of the Federal Reserve
Banks, to help the cotton farmer f.
nance the present cotton crop. This
seems to be fixed rule on the part
of the government, with reference to
holding cotton, and We can see no way
to relieve the situation, and the cotton
price is not In sight yet. The secre-
tary says:
Il am In favor of every legitimate
effort to promote the orderly market
ing Of all commodities" he said, "but
the government can not be party
to an undertaking to hold commodities
off the market to enable the owners
artifcially, for speculative purposes, to
maintain war prices or higher than
war prices"
The government through the Fed
eral Reserve Banks, seems to have
assumed that the Southern cotton pro-
ducer, is trying to hold his cotton to
proflteer on the rest Of the world. II
forgets that the crop was made with
supplies at wartime prices, and that
the present price Of cotton means
bankruptcy to the producer, and the
government seems to be lending all
its resources to bring this state of
affairs about. The consumers contend
that the high prices Of supplies, was
because the prOfteering on the part
of the Southern merchants, and not be-
cause Of any material increase In the
price Of plantation supplies. However
look at 1t any way you will, the cot
ton producer has a crop on hand that
cost him much, and for which he will
receive but little.
