and was badly constipated. Finally
she got INNER-AID and says she

gests it perfectly. Bowels are regu-
lar and normal. She is enjoying life
once more and feels like ''some 9TH

are working toward the same goal
in their communities and states.
"They are striving to improve
their homemaking activities, their
schools and churches. They want
better facilities for recreation, Gull
tural development, health, protect
ion and spiritual training for their
boys and girls.
Home demonstration club work
in Mississippi started back IN 1911.
The first home demonstration work
was done by Miss Susie v. Powell,
who later was first state home dem
onstration agent, and two helpers.
From their tomato clubs in Lincoln
and Copiah counties, our present
day program has developed.
Home Demonstration Club work

1915 with Mrs. Leila Edwards as
agent, who had organized tomato
clubs. At the present time there are
IL home demonstrations and the
home agent viii be glad to organize
club in any community where de-
sired.
"Seventy-slx counties in MissiS-
sippi now employ home demonstra-
ton agents. Forty-seven counties
have negro home agents. And just
recently four counties have employ
ed full-time assistant home demon
stration agents.
ANY farm woman, not just those
in home demonstration clubs, can
get up-to- the-minute facts on her
homemaking problems from these
agents. The home agent will help
her plan and prepare better meals
for the family. She will teach her
to do her own sewing and dry clean
ing. She will help her plant family
and community recreation.
"She can give her information on
what vegetables to plant and when,
how to control insects and pests,
care of poultry, better buying. She
has the facts of why we must grow
and save all the food possible now.
She has the directions and recipes
to help send food to the starving
peoples of the world.
Last year through the influence
Of the home demonstration program,
farm women canned almost
20 million quarts of fruits, vege-
tables and meats. Besides this they
dried, cured and stored over 125
million pounds of food.
ut has been said that any program
that works for improving homes and
communities can be part of the
home demonstration program.
''This food preservation program
is only one part of the home dem
onstration program. But right now
with the world crying for food, it
will be deciding factor in whether
today's homes can build the kind of
world we want tomorrow"

Gorden Insecticides

Every gardener needs two types
of insecticides. They need stomach
poison for insects that eat plant
leaves or fruit, such as cabbage
worms. And, they need a contact
poison for insects, such as aphids or
lice that suck the sap from plants.
Insects of these classes must be
controlled differently. You wouldn't
dust apids with calcium arsenate be-
cause calcium arsenate is a stomach
poison for leaf eating insects.
Calcium arsenate, paris green and
cryolite are good stomach poisons.
Nicotine sulphat and derris dust
are common contact poisons, and are
both good for sucking insects.
For insects that are hard to kill,
such as the harlequin bug, saba
dilla," rather new insecticide is
due to give good results.
When refilling your insecticide
cabinet, don't forget that you need
one or two poisons from each of
these groups.
Garden insecticides usually keep
their effectiveness over the second
year if they are kept in tightly
closed containers. Derris loses its
strength in light, so keep it in a
dark place or ight-proof tight con-
tainers.

MR.. AND MRS. w. r. THOMAS,
Call on your home demonstration
agent to check your pressure cooker
gauge.
There are other reasons Tor keep
ing your pressure cooker gauge
working accurately. No homemaker
wants to waste her time and food.
That's what happens when you heat
your food too little and it spoils.
It's almost as bad if you heat the
food too much. 1t will lose both
nutritive value and flavor.
Right now, no one wants to take
chances on losing a single jar or tin
can. Don't let those millions of
starving people haunt you! Your
pressure cooker is important. Make
it count.
