Dalton, Ga.-Mrs. V. A.; Burnett, Of
Route 6, says: ST got down with my
back and sides, not able to do my
work. I suffered a great deal. I had
a depressed, blue feeling all the time.

WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION
Captured German Captain Decided
That on This Occasion He Would
Forget About Honor.
FRONT ROYAL VA.

Among the letters from France that
have been printed in the Atlantic
Monthly there is to be found this en-
tertainiDg episode:
The code of the German officers is,
never to surrender; but Of course they
cannot live up to it. In a recent raid
a sergeant I know made a prisoner
Of a German captain who, as. they
walked to the rear, cursed his luck
in fluent French, saying that he was
caught unawares that an officer never
surrendered, but fought to the end.
"Stop here, my captain, and let us
consider this" said the sergeant seri-
ously. There are several articles of
your equipment to which my fancy
runs. That watch, for example, those
leather puttees, and that fat purse
I saw you change to your hip pocket.
Perhaps I can oblige you and crafty
my within. Suppose you were suddenly
to run-a quick shot would save your
honor, and me the trouble Of escorting
you to the rear. And 1 am an excel
lent shot, assure you"
But the German was not interested.

Motor Trucks Expected to Solve
Transportation Problem.

off. Trucks specially designed for
high-speed cross-country work were
the vehicles selected for the work.
They were equipped with bodies and
trailers and put to work over certain
routes. They easily proved their eco
nomical worth.
/ If a farmer has enough material
going in, a trailer can be left at his
farm. He can then load 1t and it
will be picked up on the next trip.
The trucks run on time table sched-
ule, make two trips over their routes
each day, deliver and pick up all
kinds of shipments no matter how
small or large Shipments received
anywhere in the system up to 6 p.
m. are at their destination, which may
be any other place covered by the
lines, before noon of the following
day.
From the time the first trucks were
installed the popularity of the feeder
lines was never in doubt. More bust
ness than they could possibly handle
was quickly offered to them and the
fleet has been expanding ever since.
They offer a really dependable serv-
ice which means money to the farm
ers served. The service has been in
operation a year and the trucks have
functioned all the time. Even the
severest days of last winter did not
cause a tie-up Of shipments.

MOTOR EXPRESS WILL
AID TRANSPORTATION
Facilities for Hauling Farm
Produce Are Lacking.
Solution of Problem Seen in Establish
ment of Rural Auto Truck Feed
er Lines-SpeciaIly Designed
Vehicles Used.

1t has been asserted that so per
cent of the perishable produce now
grown on farms throughout the United
States is wasted because proper facil-
tiles for hauling it to market are lack
ing. The loss to farmers, together
with the economic loss to the whole ma
ton due to this condition, reaches Il
tremendous total. 1t is further claimed
the solution of this problem would go
long way to satisfactorily reduce the
high cost of living. In a word it
would give the farmer more money
for his capital and work, but at the
same time make the tariff easier on
the ultimate consumer.
What is really needed is a branch
feeder line to each farm.
Obviously the railroads can not build
them. The electric roads help, but
do not entirely fill the bill. There is,
however, one method of transporta-
ton which, used in conjunction with
either of the above mentioned utili-
ties, happily solves the problem. It
is the motor truck line.
Worthwhile trucks on good roads
form the important link in the farm
ers' transportation system which will
bring about the state of affairs re-
ferred to.
Already progressive cities are in
stalling freight terminals for truck
lines. Motor express has proven to
be a logical, economical and sure
method of bringing the farm to mar
ket. These lines are run the same as
any railroad and may either operate
independently or in conjunction with
a railroad.
An example of the latter class is
found in the motor truck feeder lines
of a Wisconsin-Illinoisr railway con-
Germ. About a year ago this company
realized its express service was made
quate to care for it's territory. They
solved their problem by establishing
rural motor express lines to take up
the work where the interurban left

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other Or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

KHAKI AS viewed BY YOUTH
Army Called Place Where Collectors
Cease From Troubling and Cal
Iouses Leave the Feet.

Ideas about army life that persua-
sive recruiting sergeants never heard
Of in all their various bitches" in the
service, were brought out by the public
schools of the country under the aus
pices of the army and recruiting serv-
ice.
Freedom from annoyance while in
khaki is the theme of little girl in
Ohio, who writes: "One of the benefits
of an enlistment is that you amt all
the time bothered by bill collectors"
"You get respect for law in the
army" Montana boy is convinced, be-
cause ''the Constitution says America
is country of free and ungovernable
rights"
Another boy in Illinois wishes teach
er was a man so she could be a SOL
der" Filled with the enthusiasm of a
patent medicine prospectus, an Indi-
ana school girl has this to say: "An
enlistment is good for the mind, the
liver, the lungs and the kidneys. 1t

them on the hands"

Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
Teeth Like Chalk

Mr.. Herbert NJ. Gessner writes from his
home in Berlin, N. H.:
had stomach trouble over ten years;
kept getting worse. l tried everything for
relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January I got
so bad that what would eat would sour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.
I suffered terribly. prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day | read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me box at the drug store as was going
to work at 4 p. m. took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
three-fourths gone, 1 felt fine and when it
was used up l had no pains. Wife got me
another box but I have felt the pain but
twice. I used five tablets out of the new
box and I have no more stomach trouble.
Now I write to tell you how thankful l
am that I heard of EATONIC. 1 feel like
8 new man; eat what l like, drink plenty
Of water, and it never hurts me at all.

REMEDY FOR CABBAGE WORMS
Government Expert Favors Arsenate
of Lead and Paris Green for
Killing Pests.

A government expert says the best
remedies for the cabbage worm are
aresenate of lead and paris green.
The former being cheaper at the pres
ent time is recommended at the rate
of two pounds in powder form or
four pounds in paste form to 80 gal
Ions of water. Adhesiveness is en-
HANGED by the addition Of the same
amount by weight of crude resin soap
or resin-fishoil soap.
The best form of spraying machin-
cry should be used, with special at
tention to nozzles in order to secure
a mistlike spray.
The arsenicals are harmless when
properly applied as directed.

KEEPS FLY PAPER IN PLACE
Device That VIII Be Appreciated by
Any One Who Has Sat on the
Accumulation.

A New Jersey man has invented a
device to keep f1y-paper in one position
and from being blown by the wind on
to fathers favorite chair or mothers
most treasured lace curtains. 1t con-
sists of frame having grooves at each
end to permit the insertion of the sheet
Of fiy-paper. A narrow strip Of wood is
forced down into the groove over the
paper to hold it taut. At the lower
end of the frame three grooves are To-
Gated for taking care of any variations
In the lengths of the fly-paper.
When the fly-paper is in its frame, it
may be placed up in any convenient
place, and will be so conspicuous as to
be readily seen before being sat upon.
In addition to being useful as holder
for fiy-paper, the device can be used as
an acknowledgements or as stretcher
for cloth or paper.-Popular Science

DESTROY WEEDS IN INFANCY
Easy Matter to Eliminate Noxious
Plants From Various Fields at
Very Beginning.

Weeds like other things, are most
easily destroyed in infancy. This be-
ing true, they can best be eliminated
from cornfields, gardens, potato patch
es and elsewhere by destroying them
Just as soon as they make their ap-
paarance. The harrow and the weed
er are most usual implements in ac-
complishing this task before plants
are large enough to cultivate.
1t is surprising how much good and
how little harm will be accomplished
even after the corn, potatoes and 9TH
err plants get well started, by going
over the fields with the harrow with
teeth slanting, or, preferably, the
weeder.

Powerful Subs

The submarines of the English Ak
class are said to be the fastest and
most powerful submersible craft in
the world. They are propelled on the
surface by steam turbines at speed
of "a knots, which is about eight
knots faster than the speed of ordi-
nary submarines. They are $40 feet
long, and displace 2,570 tons. These
boats have unusually long periscopes,
measuring 80 feet from top to bottom.
Their tunnels are made to hinge back
before the boat dives.
