Change of

"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. My limb# would cramp.
I didn't feel like doing my
work, and there are so many
?tens for a woman to take on

At the age of about 40 to
60 every woman has to pass
through a critical time, which
is called the Change of Life.
At this time, great changes
take place in her system,
causing various painful and

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.
If elected, Miss Gertrude Walker,
who Monday announced her candidacy
for secretary of state, to fill the unex
pired term of the late W. Banks
Dove, will be the first woman to hold
a constitutional office in South Caro

Miss Walker, who seeks election
<>nly for the unexpired portion of the

months, states that she will not be a
candidate in the primaries next sum

is a daughter of tile lat?* J. - Frost
Walker, for many years clerk of court
for Richland county.
Having been a member of the office

UVK AT-HOME PROGRAM*
K adorned By I'iedniont District Forces
in (tension.
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.

lication by the County Agent.

Will Build Larger Hotel.
Asheville, Jan. 24. ? Erection of a
larger hotel, at a cost of at least
$100,000, is planned by the Mountain
Retreat Association to replace the
Montreat Hotel, used as a dormitory
for the Montreat Normal School,
which was destroyed by fire yester

A Word To Boot leg jfcria.
On August 4 of lust year a Memphis
policeman was shot to death in the
performance of duty. 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.
"It matters not what particular
bootlegger delivered the poison 1 6 the

the Ijands of every one of them.
"The martyred policeman is in the
cemetery. The man who killed him
is in the penitentiary. The officer's
widow and orphans will Boon be in
their own home. 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? And can anybody say that
there is one word of it that isn't true?
