Kelly Declares His Physician Recommended Genlax For Him-Only Medicine That Ever Gave Him Any Relief He Says.

"My own doctor told me that needed Genlax, and said he himself would give me back my money if it did not help me- testified J. H. Kelly we'll known farmer who lives at Round Pond, Arkanssa.
 q had suffered so long that 1 had lost faith in medicine of any kind. asked my doctor about Genlax and he said that it was guaranteed for trou- bles like I had, by the people who made it, and that he would also guar antee it to me, and that convinced me that it was real medicine.
 'I was all run down every way couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, got up every morning feeling like l hadn't been to bed. My stomach and bowels were out of shape every way, and have been like that for eight years and nothing has ever done me any good.
 "One bottle of Gen-Lax has given me such an appetite that l can hard ly get enough to eat, and l have gained several pounds. l am feeling like a young man again, for I sleep like log, and have more "pep" than a two year old. The constipation bowel trouble and run down condition has gone and I am like a new man Gen-Lax sure does the work and have just bought six more bottles.' 7

A SQUARE DEAL

The New York City Health Depart of an investigation of infant deaths from diarrhoeal diseases, passing it's findings on a careful study of the history of 1865 deaths during May, June, July and August.
 These show that 16.7 per cent of the deaths were in babies who had been breast-fed, while 26.9 per cent were in those who had been bottle fed. There is, of course, nothing new about such figures, but they connot be reiterated too often, so long as mothers who are physically able to nurse their babies at the breast still deny the baby its natural right and resort to bottle feeding for conven- ierce.
 In this connection it may be we'll to remember that maternal nursing especially during the first few months of life, supplies the infant with in valuable substances which protect the infant against disease. Moreover, it has conclusively been shown that with proper management, very few mothers are really unable to breast feed their babies.
 Is your young hopeful getting a square deal?

A STIMULATING EXAMPLE.

Clarksdale, the progressive capital of Coahoma, has set stimulating example to the south in the matter of lifting the burden of the accumu- lation of low grade cotton from the market so that fair price may be procured for the new crop. This is exhibited in the news story that we published in Fridays issue from that important delta metropolis.
 With commeundable foresight and industry a corporation was organized for dealing with the problem, ade- quate banking arrangements were made for handling the cotton, and agents have been dispatched to Ger many, the largest consumer of low grades, to open the way for their inn mediate export. Having actually made beginning, che situation was clarified so that MT. Gerald Fitzger- aid could unfold the plan to the pub lie in the most impressive manner possible.
 What contrast there is between the method which has thus been ac- tually pursued and the one to which the South has been so long accus- toned. It is familiar story, that of meetings of farmers in which res olutons had been unanimously adopt ed to curtail acreage certain per cent, and the subsequent increase by many of those who had participated in the vote. The farmers will never
 get very far until they learn to CO., operate in fact, and mot merely in a vote.
 A dispatch from Atlanta was pub lished in the same issue of this paper giving an account of mass meeting |of business men which dealt with the price for the new crop. Run ming true v to form, the meeting "adopted resolutions" and appointed a committee" Atlanta is strong on meetings and resolutions. And 40 cents per pound is to be demanded for the incoming crop, which is said to have cost s38 cents to produce it.. The question naturally arises, who will listen to the demand? This de- mand recalls the days of Is to 1, and the picture which Sawney Webb drew of John Wesley Gaines standing on the floor of Congress exclaiming, "Fiat pecunia.!"
 As a matter of course, if farmers as a body will arrange to market the new crop gradually, withholding it until fair price is offered, they will thus solve the problem. But so long as the low grades from the old crop remain undisposed of New England and European spinners will use them as club with which to beat down anything like an adequate price for the better grades. It would seem to be wise, therefore, for all hands to get behind the Clarksdale plan and work it with vigor until this obstacle is removed.-Memphis Commercial Appeal.

FIRE PREVENTION.

The American Legion organization sof thei state has taken hold of an other civic movement and commun- Ecation to all posts is urging observ- lance of "Fire Prevention Day." Oc- tober 9. The appeal from state Headquarters follows:
 The president of the United States America and the governor of the Ute of Arkansas having set aside Saturday, October 9, 1920, as "Fire Prevention Day." would urge all S~al hosts to actively assist their lo-
 authorities in the observance of kthis day and the carrying out or
 rious activities decided upon. The
 truction by fires in the United
 Stes involves an annual loss of life
 15.0OO men, women and children

ches, careless smoking, improper safeguarding of hazardous material, oils, explosives, etc., are also urgent ly recommended.

 Q. Can varicocele be cured with out an operation? Is an operation considered dangerous?
 A. Not all cases of varicocele need to be treated by operation. When the condition is very slight nothing may need p be done. If somewhat larger in extent, the wearing of sus- pensory bandage may be all that is required. If the varicocele is very large and give rise to troublesome symptoms, it may be cured by radi- by radical operation. This is not es- dangerous, but, of course, it should should be performed by a competent surgeon.
 Q. Please send me leaflet that will instruct me how to increase my weight being twelve pounds below weight, according to your table in the Almanac?
