The wife of the Governor of North
? Carolina has issued an appeal
through the papers of that Stato to
tho woinon-particularly those who
are members of clubs and other so
cial organizations-to make the re
freshment feature of these as simple
as possible, or to eliminate them al
together. This advice, lt seems to
me, should 1 e considered by such
^ organizations throughout tho coun
try at this time, when we are urged
to economizo in every possible way.
We as a nation ave being criticised
by the visiting commissions from
foreign countries for an apathy at
this crucial time. From what I have
aden In a very modest, confined area,
?I am afraid a large per cent of our
people look upon Ducie Sam's ef
forts at this time as a big bluff, and
are thinking lt will all soon bo over
-and why trouble? There is no ex
cuse whatever for this unless lt be
ignorance, and then there's no ex
cuse with dally newspapers at one's
command, which are teeming with
. advice from every quarter of our va
rious Industries. "Ninety per cent of
.American food, consumption liasses
through the hands of our women,"
and lt behooves tho housewife to
preach "The gospel of the clean
l>lnte" and to seo that "nothing of
vnluo goes into the garbage can."
SWEET POTATOES.
Caving is as Important at making,
"Poor Richard'' said. "It is oaslor
to make a dollar than lt is to save a
dime," which I believe ls equally
true with sweet potatoes under our
present system of storing.
V The Department of Agriculture has
W published Bulletin No. 548. ?'Storing
?nd Marketing v^weet Potatoes,"
??Which any one may get FREE on ap
plication to your county agent or tho
'Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. C.
I bave plans and bill of material
for a houso 20 x 20 feet for storing
u & *,500 bushels. Tho principles of
r> eonstruction can bo followed Ri pi'o
flding storage for 100 bushels. Call

THE Cit A V LEGIONS OF DIXIE
Take Nation's Cnpitnl As It? Honored
Guests-Visitors l>y Thousands.
1 Washington, June 5, 1917.
Fifty-six years ago a hostile army
in gray besieged tho nation's capital,
yesterday that same army in gray,
thinned by death and hallowed old
age, repeated Its march upon Wash
ington, captured the seat of govern
ment without protest or battle, and
to-day are the nations honored and
distinguished guests.
Never in the nation's history have
the battle-scarred veterans from the
Southland celebrated an anniversary
of the Confederacy in the city which,
half a century ago, spilled Its blood
and sacrificed its all to repel their
march northward; and never In any
city have they received a warmer
welcome. Guests now-a United
Nation.
To-day the men from "Dixie" own
tho city. The great deslro of their
lives has been roalized-to hold a
reunion in the Capital City of our
United Nation.
25,ooo Visitors Arrive.
Streets, avenues, hotels, lobbies,
parks, government buildings and pri
vate homes fairly swarmed with tho
gray hoBt last night. Special trains,
one after the other, rolled In from
Dixie throughout tho day and night,
carrying their precious burden of
United Confederate Veterans, Sons of
Confederate Veterans and grandchil
dren of veterans. Some wore the
gray, some wore the blue, but all
wore eager to seo "their" capital and
sing the praises of "One God, one
country and one flag." Never before
has such a gathering of people from
North, South, East and West assem
bled to pay homage to the "Stars and
liars" of tho grand old Confederacy.
Marks Fpoch in History.
The reunion of tho fighting men of
j Loo and Jackson in the Capital City
will mark an epoch in the nation's
history. The coming of the men in
gray at this time .of preparation for
great and uncertain eventualities
gives a new meaning to patriotism,
and will inspire the youth of the
land with that noble spark of devo
tion and self-sacrifice for which thc
Confederacy fought and died. The
length and breadth of historic Penn
sylvania avenue resounded last night
with the drumbeat of '61 blended
with the trumpet calls of '17. The
patriotic cadence was welcomed by
? old and young. "Old Glory" deco
rated every gray uniform and was
carried aloft hy hands that once
hore the "Stars and 'Bars." The Moree
"Rebel Yell" mellowed into "The
Star-spangled Banner," and the
voices trembling with the hardships
of the greatest domestic war of his
tory sang the praises of "My Own
, United Slates."
I I am overcome with delight and
I satisfaction at the way everything is
i conducted. Washington certainly ls
giving a line welcome to the grand
old men of "Dixie."
This is all I can say now. Will
I tell more when I have seen the Pres
' ident and have shaken his hand. He
is without a doubt the greatest man
in the world. God" bless President
Wilson! . Ji Russell Wright.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A RLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Hour Bile, Making You
Sick and You bose a
Day's Work,
Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Cnlomol acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When cnloinel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
lt, causing cramping and nausea.
U you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, .inst go
to your druggist and get a 50-cent
bottlo of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Tako a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without mak
ing- yon sick, you just go back and
got your money. ,
if you take calomel to-day you'll
bo sick and nauseated to-morrow;
besides, lt may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of am
bition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safo to
I give to children; they like lt.-Adv.
