Bee Farming Has Future. It is a fascinating business, that of beo farming, and a business which notwithstanding the fact that it d'ates back to prehistoric times, is even yet an infant industry. Which is to say, it Is not one-fourth developed to the potential limit. There is an immense amount of honey wasted every year because there are not enough bees to gather it. WHY DOCTORS PRESCRIBE THE N[W C4LOM[L Medicinal Virtues Retained and Improved --- Unpleas ant and Salivating Quali ties Removed---New Vari ety Called "Calotabs" Of all the medielnes in the world (ocors prescribe calomel most often and( depend upon it most universally. There must b)e a good and suflicient reason-what is it? If you will study the doctors' books you will find that the medical authori ties prescribe calomel for almost ev ery disease. The reason Is that calo mel is the greatest dnd only thorough syst em-p uri fier. It makes the liver active, drives out the poisons from tihe stomach, bowels'and kidneys and tIhereby purilles the ,hlood. Calomel puts the entire system In the most favorabile condition for Nature to ex ercise lher reeiiperative power. That is why he preseribes calomel so often. Tle new kind of calomiel, called alotabs," is refinted and puritied from all of Ile nauseatinlg and dani1 Vrouts finalities of the old style (alo mnv] and is raplidly taking its place, for it is ilore (fleelive than the old style ealoniel as a i ver-cieansr amid sys temi-puritiler.

I was just like T a lot of other - "boobs" who now er paid any at tention to what sort of oil was being put in the crank case, but the "GREEN FLAG" advertis ing got me to thinking there must be something in it and to $*watch your step" when you say, "give me a quart of oil"- That's what I had been saying all alons-but now Oh, NEVER AGAIN--do I say it that way-NIX-I say, "give me a quart of GREEN FLAG" Oil1 and then I know "I've Got It"-got the right sort of oil, the best oil, and the right body for my motor. Why-since I began using "GREEN FLAG" that motor of mine behaves like a lady. She purrs like a pussy cat, and runs so silent like, I have to listen every now and then to believe she's runniln' at all. Now I know what the real joy of driving a car really means. "GREEN FLAG" Oil has sure waked me up to just what a vital thing the right sort of moter oil IS in the SERVICE, POWER and COMFORT of driving a car. There are several live dealers in this county who sell "GREEN FLAG" Motor Oil, well known, reliable folks; and I would drive twenty miles out of my way to get "GREEN FLAG" if it were nocessary to do so. Their names are listed in this little "burst of enthusiasm." E. W. FF.RGUSON, Clinton, S. C. 'W. P. HUDGENS, Laurens, S.
