YUMMA SCHOOL ' WAY TO BELIEY? For Three or Four Years Suffered Himself With Indgestion and Lack of Appetite. Often Have Nervous, Diz zy and Vomiting Spells. HOW HE CURED HIMSELF. "I was suffering: terribly from stomach trouble and indigestion. I bad suffered three or four years, and after trying several patent medi cines without getting relief I was greatly distiessed. I lacked a good appetite, and after breakfast I would have vomiting spells and dizzy, nerv ous attacks due to the condition of my stomach. After those years of suffering Acid iron Mineral was recommended to me as a great rem edy for such troubles, and I was completely cured of indigestion and sickness after using two bottles. It helped me when nothing else would, and I believe it will help others with the same trouble because I know what it will do. It is a great blood purifier, too," declared Mr. F. G. Addison, a school treacher at Van Dyke, Va.

At the training station recruits get the rudi ments of naval training and of teeh ?nlcnl instruction, which is continued on ship board. "The American navy," !says the Secretary of the Navy, "offers as fine an opportunity ns exists to the American youth who wishes to Win in the race of life. The vast majority of boys in graded and high schools study their geography out ot books. The bluejacket studies geo graphy aboard ship and compares .the "book learning" with the real thing as he circumnavigates the globe. The school boy at home gets his his tory out of the books, but the blue jacket may add to his book knowledge a. glimpse of the Inside of Westmin ster Abbey, or a sight of the Coliseum nt Rome, ns he is given leave while on his vessel's cruises around the world. He has the fourfold oppor tunity of serving his country, learn* !ing a trade, improving his mind in ?study, and travel." Amateur Gardener. A prominent business man of Nash ville, answering the call "To plant a garden." set out 1~>0 cabbage plants, which were given to him In the early spring by a farmer friend. The plants ;received the very best of care, being watered almost every evening and the ground around tho plants was kepi ?loose. The plants grew aud grew until ithey caused the "new gardner" to ?boast to his business friends that ho .had the nicest "patch" of cabbage In the county. With a little "salt" his 'friends swallowed his statements, but after today no more will be heard about his big cabbage. They were found to be rape plants and not cab bage. Half Your Living Without Money Cost We are all at a danger point. On tho use of good common sense in our 191S farm and garden operations de pends prosperity or our "going broke." Even at present high prices no one can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy food and grain at present prices from supply merchant on credit and make money. Food and grain is higher in proportion than are present cotton prices. li's a time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down thc store "bill. A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to pay nearly half your living. It will save you more money than you made cn the best three acres of cotton you ever grew!

Send for it today to H. G. .WASTJNG3 CO., Atlanta, Ga.-Advt. President Georgia Chamber Of Com merce Show6 How Millions Were Saved Last Year Atlanta, Georpia.-(Special.)-"More money was saved in 1917 through the medium of the home garden than ever before, the United States Department of Agriculture estimating that there were fully one million new gardens made last year," says H. G. Hastings, President of the Southeastern Fair and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, in an interview reviewing the 1917 farming operations in the South. "Thousands upon thousands of our people in the South,'' said Mr. Hast ings, "for the first time in their lives learned to appreciate the money sav ing power of the home garden, proper ly planned, prepared for, planted and kept planted during the entire sea son." "Up to the present it has been very hard to get our people to consider the home garden seriously as a real sub stantial factor in food production with the consequent saving of money that went for food supplies at the store. Unless we are much mistaken the home garden will from now on be taken as seriously as any other part of the farm work. "A quarter to a half acre devoted to a variety of vegetables liked by the family can be kept going nearly the whole year in the South and give its owner as much as the product of two or three acres of cotton, even at pres ent prices, will buy at the store. The right kind of a garden means an abundance of healthful food during spring, summer and fall and an abund ance either canned or dried for win ter use." "Let no one be fooled by the lies epread abroad that the Government is going to seize home canned goods pn closet shelves in the farm or nome. These lies are started by Ger man agents for the express purpose of discouraging our people in increased food production and savin* go to the firing line, but all can Join in and have a part in home produc tion of food. "We have never seen a permanent ly prosperous farm section either in the United States or in foreign coun tries that was not a diversified sec tion, and in every diversified section the home garden has an honored and valued place. The home garden is a store bill cutter of the first rank." NITRATE OF LITTLE VALUE So Far That Found in Western States Cannot Be Worked to Finan cial Advantage. In connection with the sonroh for potash and nitrates in the United States the government receives many reports of supposed valuable discov eries. A letter recently received by the United States geological survey ! of the interior department describes a . cave in one of tho Southern states i which wns worked by the Confederacy j during the Civil war for potassium i nitrate. This cave is said to contain j nt least 1.000.000 tons of nitrous earth, which, however, contains only 1 or 2 per cent of nitrate. The survey now states that it seems very doubtful whether such material can be profit ably used us a source ol' nitrate salts. The minimum grade of caliche now worked in the Chilean fields contains 12 per cent of sodium nitrate, and I though there has been much criticism J of the crudeness of tho methods em ployed there, the work is done by very cheap Indian labor, and it is "doubtful whether leaner material could be worked to advantage here, where the price of labor is so much higher. Sev eral hundred thousand dollars has re cently been expended in one of the Western states in testing the proposi tion to utilize low-grade nitrate. The results have been negative. FATHER OF MODERN LIBERTY Simon De Montfort Credited With Idea Which Led to the Present Popular Representation. The commons of England were called to sit in parliament for the first time In 1205, a little more than 050 years ago, and 50 years after King John had been forced by the .?arous to sign the Magna Charts. The man responsible for this popu lar representation was Simon de Mont fort, earl of Leicester, who was killed in the battle of Evesham on August 4, 1205, only n few months after he had gained a place in history as the father of the English house of commons. Un der his leadership the barons had waged a successful war on King Henry, and had taken the monarch and his son, afterward Edward I, pris oners of war. Leicester, who 'md laid down thc law that the kiug derives his power from the people and must use it for the public good, governed for a time in the name of the king, and issued the ordinance in 12G5, in which each city and town was called upon to "choose and send two dis creet, loyal and lamest men" to rep resent them in parliament. Thus was laid the foundation of the house of commons. FOR SALK: Two mules, ono brood mare with foal by jack and one horse colt three years old. W. J. Lanham, Edgefield, S. C., R. F.
