Change of life "When change of life began on me," says Mrs. Lewis Usher, of Lamar, Mo., "I suffered so with womanly weakness. I suffered a great deal of pain in my back and sides.

E-9q RECALLS GOOD DAYS. Ex-Mayor in Greetings to Harrisburg Executive. Jlarrisburg, Pa.. Jan. 22. ? The May or of York wished "the Mayor of Hnr risburg a Merry Christmas and a Happy Now Year, but he did it in such an unusual and unofficial way it didn't becomo known until some time after the holiday season. Mayor Hov erter, of Harrisburg, kept the greeting along with the others he received , a personal matter but decided later it was so good he had to show it to his friends. This is what Mayor Ephraim Smy ser Hugentugler, of York, wrote to Mayor George A. Hoverter: "Thirty years ago ? I remember? whin eggs were three dozen for 25c; butter, 10c a pound; milk 5c a quart; the butcher gave away liver and treated the kids with bologna; the hired girl received two dollars a week and did the washing; women did not ' powder and paint (in public), smoke vote, play poker or shake the shimmie. "Men wore whiskers and boots, chewed tobacco, spat on the sidewalk and cussed. Beer was 5c and the lunch was free. Laborers worked ten' hours a day and never went on strike. No tips were given to waiters and the hat check graft was unknown. A kero sene hanging lamp and a stereoscope in the parlor were luxuries.' "No one was ever operated on for appendicitis or stole monkey ^glands. Microbes were unheard of: folks lived to be a good old age and every year walked miles to wish their friends ? A merry ChHstmas. "Today you know ? evepybody ri<Jes in automobiles, oi flies, plays golf, shoots craps, plays the piano with their foot, goes to the mbvies nightly, smokes cigarettes, drinks rucus juice, blames the H. C. L. on the Republi cans, never go to bed the same day they get up and think they are having a goofd time. "These are days of suffrigetting, profiteering, excess taxes and prohi bition: and if you think life is worth living, I wish you ? A Happy New Year." Woman To Be Candidate.

Washington, D. C., January 23. ?

In a resoluiio.il adopted at a meeting ut Spartanburg, December 10, the Piedmont District forces of the Kx tonsion Service of Clemson College and the United States Department of Agriculture warned farmers not to abandon soil-building and live-at-home programs, now wvll under way, in order to put in an excessive acreage ox cotton in 1024, and restated brietly the chief essentials of a safe and sano system of farming. The resolution adopted follows: "Whereas, South Carolina made a good cotton crop in 1023, for which q good price has been received,* the reason therefor being an unusually favorable' year, there will be a ten dency to abandon our *soil-building and live-at-homevprogiams in order to put in an excessive acreage in cotton in 1924, therefore be it "Kosolved, by all county farrti dem onstration agents of the Piedmont District and the Extension lie Id men engaged in the sevoral branches of agriculture assembled in conference at Spartanburg Monday, December 10. that it is wise to issue, the following note of warning to all farmers in the Piedmont District. "South Carolina has made splendid advances in establishing a' system of farming baaed on the principle of di versification. Even though this sort of farming has been economically sound for years preceding the advent of the boll weevil, the State has made greater strides in that direction since the boll weevil has brought tho ques tion forcibly to our attention. We are unanimously proud and gratified that the farmers are awake to the serious 4eend~of- tt-one-ei'op system -of fajriw in? and their favorable consideration of a safe and sane farming system, for that is the hope of the State agri culturally. "Be it further resolved, that all of tho work in soil improvement, use of legumes,' .lime, cover crops, and intelli gent use of needed fertilizers is basic. Without rich soils no agriculturo can be profitable. Living at home by pro ducing in home gardens and orchards, vegetables and fruits for the farm table; by the use of livestock and poultry, producing meat, dairy pro ducts, poultry and eggs for all those who live on the farms; and selling for cash, dairy, pork, and poultry pro ducts, surplus fruits and vegetables, and other products of the field and barnyards, ? these make the cotton produced a clean . surplus. All the seed breeding work, attention to bees, better sires, more business-like plan ning of the farm program, new and improved pastures, boys' club work and all other activities leading to a more profitable agriculture are sound and more paramount now than ever before. , "The boll weevil is still here, and there is always that chance of another unfavorable cotton -year. In order tl\pt we may- not see another year like 1920, and that all of of our wprk to ward a more stable and permanent agriculture will not have been in vain, we have deemed it wise to endorse thin resolution beseeching the farmer to "Carry qn" in the above practices, and not to be led by a good yield and a good price of cotton in 1923 to aban don all these things that will so sure ly place the production of cotton on * sound and stable basis and be a guar antee to a continued prosperity. "We would call attention to the in separable relation between the agri culture and business interests of a county. What takes place on the farms of a county in this section is of more importance to the banker, mer chant, or professional man of that county than that which happens in Europe or in the New York stock ex change. We feel that we have as good a locality as there is in the United States for a full and happy rurai iife, but in the development of our re sources both a sympathetic and help ful attitude on the part of all interests toward farm life and its problems is essentftil. Agriculture ip its present transitory period sorely needs the bus iness leadership of our business men. Submitted to local papers for pub lication by the County Agent. J. W. Sanders.

The shot that killed him was Hied by a iliink era tod man. The officer left a wifo and two (?auglUers, who were entirely depend* 1 ?n his salary for their support. The bullet that felled the family bread winner not only brought bereavement; it $?lso left destitution In ita watye. Last week worlc "was begun oh h modest home for the widow and her two orphaned daughters. The money that made this- home possible was con tributed by the good people of Mem phis and vicinity. Two days after the death of the policeman The Commer*. cial Appeal started a fund for the benefit of his family. The response was liberal. When the books were closed it was found that the contribu tions totalled $4,056.26. Tho hearts of the good men and women in any southern city are ever responsive to a worthy cause. Sympathy always loosens their purse strings. Commenting on the erection of tho G.ottago for the bereaved family, the Memphis paper says: "Not a dollar of the money came from a bootlegger. If one of them* had offered a. contribution, wo should have refused it. Its acceptance would have been an insult to the bereaved family and to the decent contributors to the fund. The taint of a bootleg ger's money would be worse than rot .n the sills of the cottage now in the making. "Bpotleggers never do anything to alleviate suffering; they cause it. They never stop to lift u pthe fallen; their purpose is the felling of others.

We invite the boot leggers to drive by ,1001 Waverly Place, note the erection of the little home, and then review the series of events that moved Charity to build it. "We dare them to go out to., the cemetery, stand at th^ spot where rests the body of the murdered po liceman, and ask themselves who really sent him there. ; "We challenge them to write to the man serving a 20-year sentence in the state penitentiary, get from him an expression as to the cause of his. downfall, and ask him what he thinks of bootleggers and bootleg liquor." j "If they will do these things, and -then can continue their nefarious traf fic, they are devoid of conscience. "And man without conscience is lower than the brute." Was there ever a r,ore terrible in dictment of the bootlegging business than this?
