More Two-horse Power Brains. One of the most gratifying sights we see in traveling over the South is the steadily increasing number of farmers who are using two-horse plows, harrows and cultivators in stead of the old one-horse imple ments that have done so much to keep the South poor. In the more backward portions of the world there are yet poverty stricken farmers or peasants who have no horses and work only with their own muscles. Of course, they are miserable paupers hardly able to keep soul and body together. The farmer who gets to the next stage and adds the muscles of an ox to his own does much better. Then th? farmer who has advanced one stage further and use? horse a does better still.He is the man who by ear nest effort can"sorter get along" and earn a decent, passable living in a civilized land. But the real profit in farming comes when the man has added the muscle not merely of one-horse but two, three or four horses. As we bave so often said, the great reason why the Southern farmer is poorer than the Western farmer is, that the Southerner runs his brain with one-horse power while the Western er runs his with two, three or four horse power. It is worth while to * repeat again Dr. Seaman A. Knapp's famous remark: "Where the South Carolina far mer uses one mule and one man to plow, accomplishing less than an acre per day from three to four inches deep, the Iowa farmer uses at least three "horses, and plows four acres per day six to eight inches deep.'' So metimes wc have heard of men saying, "The Progressive Farmer is opposed to the one-horse farmer." If were inclined to be harsh, we should say that such a man is either a rascal or a fool. The Progressive Farmer is more anxious to help the cne-horse farmer than anybody else, but the best way to help him is to fire him with a determination to make a two-horse farmer of him self.-Progressive Farmer. Dangers of Extravagance. The campaign for greater economy and for wise conservation which has been propagated by the various branches of our national government cannot fail to be of benefit to the people of this country. Times have been very prosperous for several years. Many have allowed their wants to increase until they are using more of the nation's resources than is wise or judicious for thrifty, frngal people. But there is another and perhaps a greater danger that has not im pressed many. That is in public wa?te. Just as individuals have in creased their standards of living and been willing to take hazardous risk in investments and consume more than health and frugal, industrious living would require, so hrwe govern ment officials increased their de mands till enormous appropriations are made. Will not the war show the people of this country the dangers of extravagance and the necessity for simple, frugal living? Jf so, the war will benefit this coun try notwithstanding its enormous cost. The people are the court of last resort. They, and they alone, must demand economy in every depart ment of government if their nation is to lead the world in good govern ment. War has a demoralizing effect up on governments and peoples who authorize governments. Let us be wise, cautious and honest with our selves and not waste our substance in riotious living nor wreckless government expenditures.-F arm and Ranch.

No One Thought She Could Live. WAS A LIVING SKELETON Through Use of Acid Iron Miner al Daughter Was Restored To Health Says Rev. C. B. Newton. The following tribute to a medi cine from Reverend O. B. Newton. Pastor M. E. Church, speaks volumes for the medicinal value ot natural iron as it is not concentrated, tested, and bottled by the Ferrodine Chemical Corp. under the name of Acid Iron Mineral. He said: "My little girl suffered from gas tritis, acute Bright's disease, and developed symptoms of pellagra, For several months she was an in valid and reduced almost to a skeleton. No one who saw her thought she could possibly live. The best medical skill available was applied but with no results. She only grew worse until physicians told us not to be surprised at her death at any time. Our attention was first called to a kidney and bladder pill and we gave her part of one nfty-cent bottle, after which we gave her Acid Iron Mineral regular ly. She is now well and has all her faculties well developed again and yon would not guess she had ever had a sick day in her life by her appearance. We have recommend ed A-I-M to several friends and do most heartily recommend it to any one suffering from any trouble which it claims to relieve." Respectfully, (signed) B. B. Newton, Pastor, M. E. Church, South Chatham, Va. VJnlike many prepared remedies containing ircn, Acid Iron Mineral does not act as a laxative, but the necessity of keeping the liver and bowels working normally being so apparent, the Ferrodine Chemical Corp. puts up an A-I-M Liver PHI in 25c. boxes which are recommend ed as part of the treatment when using Acid Iron Mineral. These little pills are the best we recom mend and are very inexpensive. NOTE:-Acid Iron Mineral is just a highly concentrated form of natural medicinal iron, non-alcoholic and very economical. Whole families should take it. It never injures the teeth, goes from two to six times as far and is man}'times more powerful and efficient than other inferior pre parations. A half teaspoonful in a tumbler of water after meals makes a delightful, invigorating and most unusual tonic, stomach, kidney, and bladder regulator. Cleansing the blood, enriching and purifying it, watch how quickly the appetite in creases and the user gains weight. Most druggists sell Acid Iron Miner al in both a large and small size bottle. Get a bottle today. Looking Forward. Fortunate indeed is the farmer who turns his face forward and looks into the future. He is the man who will be ready to make use of new and better opportunities; he is the man who will be prepared when short crops and poor markets bring discouragement to his neigh bors. This is the time for men to look forward and not backward. This is the day of progress. Those who wait for next year's opportunities will not be ready to make use of them. Today is the time to prepare for tomorrow's opportunities, K Young men who begin farming will find it expedient to look into the future. Enuugh can be deter mined as to the future to enable young men to prepare for such advantages as always come to those who anticipate them. The time for progressive farming is here. Conditions have changed so rapidly recently that one must look ahead to be a successful farmer. That many are doing this explains why so many are more prosperous than in years past. We plow, sow and cultivate, ex pecting the harvest in due season; we should do these things with de finite aim and well-planned system, knowing that "we shall reap in due season if we faint not." We will not fail because we have not failed to look forward and meet conditions which we know must be met.-Farm and Ranch. They were enjoying a motor ride and had just entered a country road.
