Measles runs a definite course if uncomplicated. It is bet ter not to try to “break up“ measles, unless you are fond of trouble. The chief measure in the treat' ment of the attack is nursing. Kr n>rs in iHjtvyjir jffi most fatalities Local and Personal News from-Williston rom the possible complication; Pneumonia may set in; Bright’s disease may follow the attack; the eyes may be perman ently damaged by too bright light in the sick-room and so on. A very grave clanger is, in let ting the patient out of his bed be fore he has thoroughly recovered, —better be safe than sorry. En courage the appearance of the eruption by giving abundance of hot drinks—all the patient will tol erate. Sometimes the diagnosis is in doubt—the fever high, the dis tress great. If there is a remote possibility of measles, do not do anything that would retard the eruption coming out, such as cold baths for the fever, or depressing medicines for pain or cough. Give abundance of cream-tartar and water during the febrile stage. JkUow -only soft or^ tlquld dleTT Nurse your patient and, if disease is uncomplicated, he will get well. Of course you will call a physician —that’s the first thing to do, then, quarantine the case, and fumigate well after recovery.

At first I used two parts add phos phate to one part nitrate of soda, then 8 parts acid to 2 parts nitrate, and now 1 am using equal parts add and nitrate.” There is a wealth of experimental data and field experience to show conclu sively that generally making, 100 pounds of Soda and 200 pounds of add per acre with 60 to 100 pounds of '. in case of rust, followed later a side-dressing of 100 pounds of will pay under almost any aver- conditions. It will pay anyone, however, to ex periment on his place in order to de termine just what amounts of then fertilisers wilTretujn him the largest net profits. Two or thrse acres of land given over to such tests for a few years Will more than repay the time and at tention given than. t (6) Monday for a week’s visit to rela tives and friends at Charlotte, Gas tonia and Burlington, N.

Main flt BARNWELL, ft. C -*2T asarr-ugSrrr This Spring-Order It Now Last year thousands who wanted to buy Packard cars could not get them and had to be satisfied with something less desirable or beep their old cars.- More than twice as many Packard Six cars were sold in 1925 as in 1924.~Had Packard been able to provide cars for all who wanted them this record would have bQen even greater. « This year the 25,000 fortunate owners who secured cars last year, are send ing their friends to Packard. - And though well prepared now, it is no doubt but a question of weeks before our built-up stocks will vanish. Those who act at once may have an immediate or early delivery of any model Packard Six. Those who wait may be disappointed like the thousands of last year. Quality cannot be built hurriedly, and with Packard, quality comes before quantity^ * You may have a Packard Six, a five** passenger Sedan for example, de livered at your door with all necessary accessories and with freight and tax paid for $2,850. « * If you prefer to buy on the payment plan, you may pay $950 on delivery and $ 1 50 monthly. May wq examine your present car? If it has a market value we will buy it and apply its price on the down pay ment on the new car. If we may have your car now, or soon, we can sell it in the best market of the year which of course will be*to your advantage. Then your car buying problems will be over for years to come. •«.— V I , _ .V " ' , • ' * • Vj;. ■ .-V The proof? The majority of last year’s . buyers told us that they intended to keep their new Packards more than twice as long as the cars they traded in. ■ *•» W. D.
