C. The Times and Democrat IS NOW PUBLISHED Twice-a-Week AT $1.50 Per Annum. Plain Talks on Fertilizers A Talk to Fruit-Growers You use a fertilizer of course, but do you use enough ? The yield per acre, and the profit therefrom increases in far greater proportion than the cost of additional fertilizer. What is an increase in cost of $2.00 to $10.00 per acre for fertilizer when the returns therefrom show an increase of $50.00 to $250.00 per acre? The big Magnolia Fruit Farms at Durant, Miss., tested the well-known Virginia-Car olina Fertilizer in di f f ercnt quantities o n their straw berry crop. Result: when 1,000 lbs. per acre were used the profit was $/j.00 more per acre than when 500 lbs. per acre were used. This is modern intensive cul ture, the method that is doub ling and trebling the crops of all kinds of fruit in either good or in poor and worn-out land all over the country?and in good soil, too. The yield will be according to the amount of plant food you give your trees or plants?you can de pend on it. The better they are fed the greater and more valuable will be your crop. Fertil ize sparingly and you reap sparingly. The fact that over a million tons of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer were sold last year proves them to be without equal. Every fruit farmer, no matter what method he now uses, should get the Vir ginia - Carolina Company's new Year Book or Almanac. It is free to all who arc inter ested enough to write for it.

During 19C0 I was running a farm on the Mississippi river and became so impreg nated with Malaria that f<\ a year I was almost a physical wreck. I tried a number of medicines recommended as blood purifi ers, chill cur:s, and Malaria cradicators, but nothing did me any good until I began to use S. S. ?. The result was that after taking it for awhile I was as well and strong as I ever was. I have never had a chill since nor the slightest symptom of Malaria. I hope others will be benefited by my experience, and with that end in view I give this testimonial, knowing that S. S. S. is the best remedy for Malaria. Amory, Miss. S. R. COWLEY.

One bottle did me more good than all the five doctors prescribed." Guaranteed for blood poison, weakness and all stomach, liver and kidney complaints by J. G. Wannamaker Mfg Co, drug gist, 50c.

For salo h-? .Uai.u u ... u.io to iiupurities and pui?uuj in the blood; Instead of being rich, strong- and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of these red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we see pale, 3allow faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a general systemic disease, and as the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its germs we have more serious and complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on all parts of the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight fever arc frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a constant tired-out and "no account " feeling. The lack of necessary nour ishment and healthful qualities in the blood causes boils and abscesses, skin affections, and in some cases sores and ulcers to break out, and sometimes the patient is prostrated with a spell of malarial fever which ma}' leave his health permanently impaiied. To cure Malaria both a blood puriGer and tonic are necessary, in order to remove the cause and at the same time build up the system from its weakened and run-down condition. S. S. S. is the medicine best fitted for this work. It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers, and the purely vegetable ingredients of which it is composed make it the greatest and safest of all tonics. 3. vS. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every trace of impurity cr poison, and at the same time gives to the blood the health-sustaining qual ities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and permanently because it renioVes the germs and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every part of the system. When S. S. S. has cleansed the blood the .symptoms pass away, the healthy color returns to the complexion. the old tired, depressed feeling is gone, and the entire health is renewed.
