Club Picnic and Field Meet
A committee of club leaders met
with the county agent Saturday and
made final arrangements for the first
annual boys and girls picnic and
field day to be held at the fair
grounds Saturday, July %. The pic
mic will include club members, lead
ers and their families. The program
will consist of athletic events, and
elimination contests for demonstra-

sheep demonstration work to select
teams to go to the Ohio State fair.
Competent judges have been select

The Farmers Salary
Their books balanced by farm
management men at the O. S. u, %
farms in southern Ohio showed an
average labor income of only $237.
This was by the farm accounting
method now standard. Then fur
ther survey was taken of produce,
roof, and firewood supplied by these
farms to their 28 families. Such
things generally are not considered
in farm bookkeeping. Conservative
ly valued at country prices, each
farm was found to supply an average
of $578.59 in living" to the family.
This raised the average farm family
income to about $S16. Then the in
vestigators went into the markets of
Portsmouth, city nearby and got
retail prices, and city rental figures.
At this rate, they found that each of
the 2S farms was supplying its fam
lily $1,203.97 worth of Giving" a
year. Thus it appears, that these rs
families which show as making $237
a year, would in even q small city
have to make $1,440 year to
live IN as good house, and to have
as much. Says r. F. Taber, who ran
the survey, "An income of $1,440 is
not enough, especially if one consid-
ers that the farm wife and perhaps
some of the children help make it..

why Suffer from Rheumatism?

DO you know that nine out of ev-
cry ten cases of rheumatism are
simply rheumatism of the muscles
or chronic rheumatism, neither of
which requires any internal treat
ment? The pain may be relieved by
applying Chamberlain Linime ent,
which makes sleep and rest possible,
and that certainly means great
deal to any one afflicted with rheu-
matism.

The Home of the Soul

In oiden times. it was believed
that the seat of the soul was the
stomach. most likely for the reason
that man is never so completely
used up as when his stomach is out
OF order. For the cure of ordinary
stomach troubles, there is nothing
quite SO prompt and satisfactory as
Ohamberlain's Tablets. They
strengthen the stomach and enable
1T to perform it's functions naturally
give them a trial. They only cost
a quarter.

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
FIRST Step in Treatment Is Brisk
Purgative With CaIotabs, the
Purified and Refined CaIomel
Tablets That Are Nausealess.
Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds. coughs
sore throat and influence can be de,
pended upon for full effectiveness
until the liver is made thoroughly
active. That is why the first step in
the treatment is the new, nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs, which
are free from the sickening and weak
ening effects Of the old style calomal.
Doctors also point out the fact that
an active liver may go long way to-
wards preventing influenza and colds
and is one of the most important
factors in enabling the patient to
successfully withstand an attack and
ward off pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs on the tongue
at bed time, with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea, nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished, your
liver is active, your system is puri
fed, and you are feeling fine, with a
hearty appetite for breakfast. Gen
uine Calotabs are sold only in orig
inal sealed packages, price thirty-fve'
cents for the large, family package;
ten cents for the small vest-pocket
size. (ady)
