THE HOUSEWIFE OF 1921

Now that Woman's Suffrage is a
reality the American woman must
henceforth be considered not merely
as a housekeeper and home-maker,
but as voter-a citizen and force
in this busy worka-aday world. With
added responsibilities her health
should never be neglected, and when
beset with ailments peculiar to her
sex she owes it to herself to first give
that grand old medicine, Lydia e.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, a
trial, as for over forty years it has
been the standby of American women
in restoring them to health and
strength.

GERMANY MAY TAKE
PART OF LOW GRADE.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The German
government may relieve the Kentucky
farmers of large part of their low
grade tobacco.
Representatives of the Kentucky
growers have been in conference at
New York this week with spokesman
of the German government, which
wishes to bid for large order of Ken
lucky low grade tobacco.
If the German government gets pos
session of this tobacco it will control
it as a government monopoly and will
sell tito German subjects.
The depreciation of the German
mark is the greatest obstacle in the
way of working out the transaction
along practical lines.

Georgia Business Men Feel that Time
Is Ripe to "Rcsume Business"

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 21-"Duy Now
is the slogan in many Atlanta estab-
lishments and with many people, Lo-
cal merchants, more than ever be-
fore, are advising that every one
buy now the things they need. Just
at present, according to the close
observers in business circles, the
wheels Of commerce are sluggish,
business is dull and people are htsi-
tating.

vatc this spirit there will be a con-
tinuance of these things, and as soon
as we open up and forget, things wilt

From the situation at the scene Of

evidently crcpt into the room and
