S. Farm Sweets.
Next to honey, sorghum syrup is
the sweetest farm product over a
large part of the South, with the
sweet potato occupying the third
place. June is the month in which the
bulk of these two crops is planted
and this year they should be given
an increased area. Cured and stored
in a modern potato house, sweet po-
satoes may be kept through the win
ter and far into the next spring. We'll
made sorghum syrup keeps in good
condition for several years, and
should always be kept in stock In
every pantry.

Held Marriaue Spoiled Men.

Robert Louis Stevenson believed that marriage had a tendency to spoil men, though not women. Marriage, he said, affected a woman differently from a man. It made greater demands upon her. The very comfort which was the husbands peril was largely the fruit of her thoughfulness, her in- dustry, and her unselfshness. With wifehood, came motherhood; and motherhood, side by side with felici- ties that only mothers know, inflicted a ceaseless discipline of suffering and self-denial.
 For women," Stevenson admits, there is less danger. Marriage is of so much use to a woman opens out so much more in life, and puts her in the way of so much freedom and useful ness that, whether she marry ill or well, she can hardly miss the benefit" And he sums up with the advice:
 If you wish the pick of men and women, taken a good bachelor and a good wife."-Sunday at Home.

 CHILD'S BOWELS WITH

Even a sick child loves the ''fruity" taste of "California Fig Syrup" If the little tongue is coated, or if your child Is listless, cross, feverish, full of cold, or has collie, give a teaspoonful to cleanse the liver and bowels. In few hours you can see for yourself how thoroughly it works all the constipa- tion poison, sour bile and waste out of the bowels, and you have a well, play full child again.
 Millions of mothers keep California Fig Syrup" handy. They know a tea spoonful today saves a sick child to- morrow. Ask your druggist for genu- inc California Fig Syrup" which has directions for babies and children of all ages printed on bottle. Mother You must say "California" or you may get an imitation fig syrup.-Advertise ment.

 PREPARATIONS
Nash's Salve Relieves Colds
 When limitations Fail.

The healing and curative powers of Casn's Salve are the result of absolute purity and unusual strength of the prin- cipal ingredients. Imitators, seeking larger profit, usually rob their product or It's efficacy in an endeavor to save on the cost
 When you go to your druggist, ask for Nash's, that stronger kind" It will give relief when so-called same as" preparations fail
 To rid yourself of cold, and thereby avoid such things as grippe and possibly pneumonia, apply the salve up each nos- tril with finger. For bad colds rub lib- erally on throat and chest.
 The importance of getting the genuine Nash's Salve cannot be overestimated. Similar menthol preparations may seem to be the same, but results are not al- ways Therefore, as Nash's Is only 90 cents a bottle, 1t will pay you to ask for 1t by name. Sold by all druggists.

he'll lose a good chaffering job in the bargain"
 Mrs. Temple smiled through her tears. "Of course none of our friends would want to employ Edith's hus- band, In that capacity; it would be most awkward"
 Mrs. Geer turned beady brown eyes on the beautifully gowned woman, on her short skirt, her dainty gray silk hose and shoes, on the jewels that blazed on her fingers. Her eyes darted to Edith, daintily attired in an ex- pensive flock, scanning the naughty young face and the hostile eyes.
 "Is that the girl3" she asked sharp 1y.
 Edith drew herself to her full height and turned her head aside.
 Mrs. Geer shook her head. T won't have my boy marrying into any rich family" she said quietly. "This girl would only be burden to him-why, she couldn't cook and sew or wash and iron, and she certainly couldn't take care of chickens"
 T could learn to do it," interrupted Edith. ''I have learned more diffi- cult tasks. My ther did it for my father when he was poor young man-she has told me sol"
 Mrs. Geers eyes sought Mrs. Tem- ple's face and that of her husband. The two were looking at each other with reminiscent smiles. "I think you might be more human than some rich folks" said David's mother bluntly.
 "We loved each other" said Mrs. Temple softly, "and 1t has held through the years"
 My David loves your daughter, but we Geers are proud-we come of good stock, but we've been poor for two generations-poor but honest"
 That's good enough family for my daughter to marry into" ejacu- lated Mir. Temple, laying his hand on his wife's shoulder.
 Mrs. Temple nodded, smiling, and Edith came and put her arms around them.
 "Who will tell David?" asked Mrs. 0ttI dllAlVuSiy. Ilc lltltil1S says he's going to give up his position with you"
 "It will be for a better one, I sup pose-and I think we had better all go and tell David or he won't believe It."
 As Edith went before them, they say that all the modern aggressive ness had slipped from her splendid young shoulders. She was simply a sweet, shy girl going to meet her lover, and their own little lass who had so suddenly grown away from them.
 "She would have married him any way-she's plucky-and she'll make him "a grand wife," said David's mother.
