I "'Build-Up'': Way to Ease Women's Pain j(any weak, run-down women arc jj, ? vicious circle. Their underH nouri.shincnt often leads to what is called functional dysmenorrhea aiul its symptoms ? headaches, nes'vI ousness, irritability, intermittent I cramp-like pains?from which many I women suffer. Surest way to break the vicious circle is by building I strength and energy, which so many flml may be done with the help of I CAHDUl. It stimulates*1 appetite, [ aids digestion, and thus helps in I this "build-up" of physical resistance. Women also report that, iff taken just before and during "the time," CARDUI helps to ease the pain and discomfort of the period. i good FEED CROP8 FROM j GRASSED DRAINAGEWAYSj Many farmer* are finding that pas ture or meadow strips seeded to grass t0 fonn drainageways are actually proving to be among the most valua pie acres of the farm. On many (aAnn the grassed drainage strip fol lows the same general line as an old ditch or gully which had been waste II land?or worse. The grassed area b?* a broad and nearly Jpvel cross ,1 section with no waste space. To establish grass that will hold the soil and prevent erosion it is us Ual)y necessary to fertilize the draiu ggeway before seeding. Once the I tod is woll formed, the drainageway will absorb a great deal of moisture.! The combination of fertilizer and ade quate moisture makes the drainageI way highly productive of feed, either |l grazing or hay. Farmers' Bulletin 1814, just issued { by the United States Department of Agriculture, offers practical advice as to establishing farm draluageways. It includes a convenient set of tables and charts to aid farmers In calculating the cross section of drainageways 1 land terrace outlets which will be jl large enough to care for the probable I run-off from areas of from 1 to 300 acres. These are calculated from run off records from various sections of I the country and are based on the heaviest rains to be expected once ini I ten years.

J May Hold. In talking with Mrs. Mayfield, the writer secured some interesting duta which he will pass on to the generul public. In the Hist place 1 found that the progrum in general has been In furnishing good medicine and clothing to people who are in need, fitting glasses to children and adults who have defective vision. In this connection it Is Interesting to note that the mujority of the group huving need of optical attention are school children. The chapter also meets the expense of having X-rays taken of tubercular patlents who are unable <o meet the expense of same. The chapter also looks after stranded transients, giving them food and shelter and occasionally providing them with transportation to nearby places. fcix-service men are giveu attention aud euupliuent is provided for tuberouiosis patients who are fortunate enough to get into the State Park sanitarium but do not have the means to secure the proper equipment. ?Late In the spring of 1939, according to Mrs. Mayfield, the organisation of the production corps, the motor corps and the disaster relief corps, was made. Mrs. E. N. McDowell is chairman of the motor corps; Lieutenant Commander Shannon Heath* is chairman of the disaster relief corp; and Mrs. Henry G. Carrlson of the production corps. Mrs. Carrlson succeeds Mrs. John Mullen, who was obliged to resign due to having taken over the chairmanship of the Christmas seal drive. During the period Mrs. Mullen was In charge of the production corps some forty-nine garments were made for hospital purposes. The chapter Is proud of a group of ladles at Bethune who are forming a production corps and who are also interested In forming a branch of the mother chapter. The Bethune group made twelve garments and are active and Interested workers. The Red Cross float which won first prize in its division in the cotton festival parade was decorated by members of the Bethune group under the direction of Mrs. D. M. Mays. Some of the objectives of the county chapter is to have first aid stations established on the highway at Cassatt and Westville, these to be under the direction of persons who have taken the first aid course. These stations would have to be In buildings where a twenty-four hour dayservice may be possible. The chapter is also anxious to have a Red Cross nurse who could go through the county, and carry out a program of work that the public health nurse cannot do, bedside nursing being one example of the desired service. Through a larger membership and greater cooperation, it Is hoped to .make the Kershaw chapter feature all-year activity. Mrs. Mayfield calls attention to the fact that an instructor from the national headquarters will be in Camden in the near future to give a course In first aid. This course is open to all chapters in the state, each having agreed to sponsor a member to take the course and qualify to teach a first aid classlln Camden. Mrs. Mayfield is chairman of the Volunteer service of the Red Cross and has been associated with the organization for a period of some years. It is because of her interest and energetic work that the scope and efficiency of the Kershaw chapter is ascribable to. The Red Cross chapter makes an appeal to all Camden merchants as well as merchants in other communities in the county to decorate their stores In a fltthig matter during the Red Cross roll call which starts on Armistice day.

Livestock Reminders For NovemberNotice For iho proper care of livestock in! the lrtl?> fall County Agent \\\ Ik MeCarley calls the attention of Kershaw county farmers to these reminders: Animal HusbapHi'y ? lirood sows for spring litters Have all weanling pigs double-treated for cholera. To prevent the beef herd losing the weight gained on pasture, supply cheap roughage and a little cottonseed meal. Fatten a beef animal to be slaughtered later for home use. Remove the ram from the ewe dock. Feed idle mules ample roughage and give only half ration of coucentratos. See that all livestock have shelter and bedding during cold rainy weather. Dairying?Increase the barn feed as pastures are killed by frost. lx)t the cows clean up the corn and hay fields after these crops have beeu gathered. Provide warm, dry, clean stallB for fall-born calves. Use a carefully selected purebred dairy bull from proved high-producing ancestry. Use November spare time remodeling barns, putting In Concrete floors, and Other Improvements. Cull the low producers and feed the rest according to each cow's produotloh. Poultry?Select now the best hens for next year's breeders. Keep layers In good flesh by feeding grain liberally. Keep all-night lights on the laying flocks. If electricity Is not avalable, use kerosene lanterns, one to each twenty-foot Beotion of house. Purchase male birds for next year's breeding flock. Put Down SomeTrees Pick UpThirty Bucks The 1940 Agricultural Conservation Program sets up nn allowance up to $30 for every farmer-^-ln addition to the regular soll-bnlldlng allowance? to be earned only by planting forest trees. "This allowance", Bays County Agent W. C. McCarley, "presents an excellent opportunity for encouraging tree planting on idle, worn-out, and non-agriculfural form lands In Kershaw county, thereby laying the basis for a 'better agriculture In the county. "We all agree, of course, that It would be unwise to recommend tree planting on lands needed for cropland or pastures, Just to take advantage of this program. But when each farm is carefully analyzed," numerous idle and unused areas, taking In several acres, will be found scattered about. This land can be put to work through this provision of the AAA program." In connection with this tree-planting program the county agent makes three suggestions: The trees will have to be planted during the 1940 calendar year to qualify. As usual, each acre planted is equivalent to five units, of $7.50. Plans should be made to order trees early. 8EVEN-YEAR-OLO^ LOST LAD -FOUND Heber, Ariz., Nov. 4.?Serpn-yearold Bruce Crozler lost six days in the rugged wilderness of northern Arizona, was brought here tonight by two game hunters who found him wandering aimlessly about ten miles from Heber. He was taken to the home of Mrs. Merle Hendricks by Dee Brewer, Pinedale. Ariz., and a hunting companion, who reported he was in "fine condition" except for a "little fever". Bruce later wns Bent to a hospital at Holbrook, Ariz. His clothes in tatters and his shoes worn thin, the hungry boy walked up to Brewer's car, sat down on the running board and asked for a drink of water. He told the hunters he had lived on water and had had no solid food since last Sunday, when he wandered from the camp of his parents. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Crozler on Wlnslow, Ariz. "I'll sure be glad to sec my mother and daddy," the boy told Brewer. He was too tired to do much talking but related he had slept in oaves for the six freezing nights of his ordeal. Bruce said he was "afraid the first two nights but wasn't afraid after that." Posses which had been combing the ! region, and bloodhounds brought from Santa Fe, N. M., to track thft boy were withdrawn. Hope that he would be found alive ,waa virtually abandoned three days ago, but new tracks found yesterday and early today spurred the posses to redouble their efforts In the search. Workmen re-ihodeling the home of Walker Inman In Augusta, Ga., found a family of mice literally "in the money" in one of the walls. The rodents were snugly bedded down in a neat of much chewed dollar bills. The currency was ,of the old, large size and Inman has no Idea When or how the mice get their expensive bedding.

She loved her home, her Sunday school and her church and no one gave more generously to the cause than she.
