(From The Progressive Farmer.) Mr. J .J. McSWal, of Greenville, youth Carolina, sends us a copy of a letter he is sending to his tenants. Of Course he starts out by telling them that he is sending them The Progres sive Farmer and wants them to read it --something every landowner ought to do. There is no better Christmas pres ent "than a year's subscription to The Progressive Farmer. Here are some other interesting things in the letter Mr. McSwain is sending to his tenants, in this case, colored men: "Open up all the ditches and as soon as , possible and certainty before Christmas put pine brush into all washes and gullies and also set out some hopeysuekle vines in the wash es. "In the next place, scrape up all the rich earth and rotten chips around the yard and In the fence corners and all the piles of ashes and piles from the out .places and haul it gut. on -the fleids. I have often thought 'that the .most fertile lands of our farms are .allowed to go to waste at places in and around the fence corners and wood piles, producing nothing during the year except weeds. "Next place, go down to the creek and pick out a patch of bottom land that is now in briars and bushes and clean it up and plant that in corn. You can make more corn on one acre of rich land in the bottoms than you can make on two or three acres of upland. "In the next place, as you have a lot of range, you should have one or two- sows for breeding purposes- only and raise pigs not only, for your own use but for sale. You should also have two or three cows and hogs, they will make manure for you. You will have plenty of hay from the Bermuda bot toms and from the peavine hay to win ter several cows. "Remember that the best time to make a crop is when you prepare for it the year before, and for that reason we want you to take it In hand to build it up constantly so that it will make better crops for you. We don't want any more land cleared up but we ~want the leaves and woods earth and the mold to be hauled out on the open land and some to be put in the stables and lot and later hauled out on the land; this will build the land up. "You each have a splendid oppor tunity now to live well and to have some money each year so that you may eventually be able to buy and pay for a little piece of land. I think it the duty of every man who is the head of a family to try to own a piece of land. It makes better citizens, both white and colored, and there will be certain sections of the country that will be offered for sale to colored peo ple, as it is better for them to live in separate comnmunitles, and they doubt less prefer this." "Yours very truly, "J. J1. .\lesfwain." IF YOUfl WIsh TO OlIOW FAT AND PIEMP' Thin Meni andt lWomen Do You Want to get Fat tand lie Stronug I The trouble with~ most thin folks who wish to gain w~eight is that they insist on dIrugging theti' stomach or stuffing it with greasy foodls, rubbing on useless "flesh creams," 0or follow ing some foolish physical culture stunt, wvhile the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract ppperly assimi lates the food you eat Drink a glass of cold water four o01 five times a day and take the folio ing preparation known to reliable di ggists almost ev erywhere, which s/ emingly embodieg the missing elemerit needed by the f gestive organs to hellp them e vert food into rich, f t-laden blo . This prelparation is c lied to .ne, and much remarkabi testin y is given as to its success ul us n flesh build tng. Tonoline I comes in the for'm of a small non-injurious tablet, taken at meals andl mixedl with the di gesting food, tends to pre pare fat, flesh and muscle building elements so that the blood can reoadily accept and carry them to the starved portion of the body. You can readily picture the transformation that additional and previously lacking flesh making ma terial should bring to your cheeks, fill ing out hollows about your neck, shoulder's and bust disappearing, and your taking on from 15 to 30O pounds of solid healthy flesh. Tonoline is harm less, inexpensive, effieient. Peoplem Drug,8tore have it and are authorized to refund your money if weight in crease is not obtained as per the guiar antee found in each packnae. Caution--Tonoline is reconlmendedl only as a flesh builder and while excel lent r'esults in cases of nervous indi ges'ion, etc., have been reportedl, care should be tak~en about tusing it unless a gain of weight is desired.

EVERYONE SROULD DRINK OLASS OF WATER TO CLEAN EIDNEYS, if Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You Drink Lots of Water. When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with 'a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with cold water and kidneco which re moves the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal ac tivity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. 24 hours they strain from it 500 g ns of acid and waste, so we can r a ily understand the vital importan of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; al o get from Peoples Drug Store about no dozen 5 gral ikidneco tablets, ta e one tablet b e each meal and at edtime with lass of water for a fe days an ur kid neys will act fine This f us remedy is made from p rfect harmless in gredients and a ts uickly, and has been used for g erations to clean and stimulate clogged, kidneys; alsq to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus. ending bladder weakness. Kidneco is inexpensive, cannot in jure, make no mistake, insist on kid neco which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache. FINAL SETTLEMENT.
