FARM SHOULD GROW
SUPPLIES FOR FAMILY

In a series of sixteen tests to show
whether or not Southern farm Is
efficiently managed, the United States
department of agriculture gives first
place to this one:

quantities for the welfare of the fam
lily such of the family foods as are
adapted to local conditions o.
The value of the family living fur
nished directly from the farm, it is
stated, is one of the important factors
determining the amount of the income
of the farm and the degree to which
the farm business is safe and profit
able. This is true Of all farms, but
more especially of the smaller ones,

interfere comparatively little with the
regular commercial enterprises, and by
labor which otherwise would not be
utilized. Up to a considerable size of
farm business, 1t has been found that
the family food, plus fuel and shelter
furnished by the farm, equals the rent
for the entire farm, or the interest on
the whole farm investment. These
statements are supported by the re-
suits Of surveys made in Brooks and
Troup counties. Ga; CASTOR county,

HOW TO KEEP WELL

but should be washed out Of the
outer ear from time to time If it
does harden, however, it should not
! be removed except by a physician.
| Permanent deafness is one of the
worst affiliations we can know,
| hence the care OF the ear is i'm
portant for our own happiness. Dis
eases OF the inner ear are danger
Gus and often produce death; hence
no trouble with the ears should be
neglected.
The human eye is the most perfect
! Of all pieces of natures handiWork.
Man has used it as a model in maxi
| ing telescopes, microscopes and
glasses for seeing of alIa kinds. So
minute are the details of the human
eye and so complicated it's arrange
ments that the perfect human eye is
seldom found. The eye we are using
today is the same eye that man used
! in a savage state, and then it's main
| design was for seeing great dis
tances and finding objects of danger
| which threatened far, far away In
| our modern life we are using these
same eye muscles which in the be-
| ginning roamed the far forests and
scanned the waste places of the
world, for work held in our own
! hands; for reading, writing, painting,
fine sewing and for many other
forms of work all within easy dis
lance, of us.
1t has been estimated that during
five minutes of reading an ordinary
book the eye makes 1000 movements,
or does as much work as it did in
the early ages of man in an hour; in
fact more muscular effort is made
by the use we give our eyes in a
single hour of our life today than
formerly was put forth in an entire
day. This, too, if reading or work
ing conditions are good, and when
we think of the poor lights, the
poor printing and thousands of 9TH
er strains that we put on the eye
1t is easy to see why eye-strain is
growing more and more common
just from the regular use of the
eye. But eyes like ears are affected
by many bodily ills all of which form
additional reasons for giving care
to our eyes.
1t is useful to us to know that
our abuse of the eyes often causes
acute bodily discomfort which can
be relieved in no other way than by
relieving eye-strain. Headaches,
dizziness, nervousness, irrita bility,
sleeplessness, weakness and even in
digestion are often caused by eye
strain. We can usually tell when we
are straining our eyes by the pains
directly in the eye itself, by sensi-
tiveness to light, by a feeling of
tired eyes," by constant frowning
and many similar conditions. There
are many disorders of the eye and
eyelids which, if given medical at
tention promptly may be completely
cured or greatly helped.
Therefore, watch your eyes and
those of your children, particularly
the children who are in school, and
detect yourself any symptoms of eye
strain as soon as they appear. Then
SEE AN OCULIST whose whole duty
it is to make sick eyes we'll.

Eyes and Ears

Eyes and ears with their wonder
full qualities are mans most priced
possessions. They are often dam
aged, however, by a failure to regard
some very simple rule of life which
may mean injury for these important
organs and which may result in their
failing to give us the daily and hour
ly service we now demand of them.
1t has been said that deafness is
more damaging to our mental deVel-
opment than blindness; if we cannot
hear what is being said to us we
lose our touch with each other. A
deaf child gives one the impression
that it is willfully inattentive or is
stupid" and we would seem the
same if we did not hear what was
said to US.
Often deafness is due to a diseased
condition of the nose and throat;
to the result of some disease like
measles, diphtheria Or scarlet fever,
or to some stoppage of the passage
leading to the ear.
More than half the cases Of deaf
ness are due to the first cause for
the middle ear is connected with the
throat by a small tube called the
"eustachian tube" and the mem
brane lining this tube extends in an
unbrolen line from the ear to the
throat. So, inflammation of the
throat due to colds, c9tarrh, diseased
tonsils Or adenoids may cause the
walls of this tube to swell and then
air cannot reach the the middle ear
and the passage is blocked up. If
this continues the pressure of mu-
cous due to cold may break the deli
cate ear drum and cause permanent
deafness. Nature tries to prevent
this, by discharging the pus which
has been formed by the germs in
the passage through the outer ear.
This is a danger sign and means that
the ear should be at once examined.
The diseases just mentioned pro-
duce the same sort of inflamma ton
and the discharge from the ears that
follows these diseases is very dam
gerous for contact with it can give
the disease to others.
Wax in the ear often causes tenn
porary deafness this should never
be removed by any hard substance
like a hairpin or pencil; this wax
should not be allowed to accumulate

Daily Care Hints to
Keen CIOthinu Trim

A daily program Of care for
clothing will lengthen it's life and
improve it's appearance with little
effort. A garment should always
be hung UP upon removing it, and
should be aired over night, prefera-
bly, in fresh air. 1t should be brushed
carefully to remove the dust, renew
the nap and ward off "shine." A
wire brush is especially good for the
last-named purpose.
Spots should be removed as soon
as possible, and all cuts or tears
should be carefully darned, with raw
eIled-out threads of the material
when possible. Tape, net and mend
ing tissue may be used to reinforce
weakened places.
