DRUGGISTS AND DOCTORS
NEVER TALK
rerr»!<? '-ur'^rir.g from slight ailments r«?el free to tell their
troubles to the druggist, because they know that he. like the
doctor, never betrays their confidence. No one ever learns
what he know's about their physical condition.
“Right in the beginning” is the time to begin the correc-
t : on cf an a Iment. If you do not consider it sufficient foi*
calling in the doctor, at least tell the druggist. If it is a case
for the doctor, he will tell you to hunt one without delay. I-
it is not a case for the doctor the druggist has the remedy that
will relieve ycu. Just a few cents—4hat’s all.
Could anything be more simple for the ma ntenance of per

Fertilizer Formulas
The follow’.rf? fertilizer formulas
a-e prepared for farmers mixing
their o' , .vn fer ; lizcrs, and include all
common materials on the market in
McCorm ck County. Each formula
: s worked out on a ton bas : s; that is.
those formulas calling for less than
a ton of materials contain the same
fertilizing elements as a ton of mix
ed goods having the same formula,
and a feit.lizer company would only
add the extra weight in sand, or
some other filler. Use each formula
below where you would use a ton of
mixed goods hav ng the same form
ula.
Sulphate of ammonia and nitrate
of soda have the same comparative
value as a fertilizer. Sulphate of
ammonia carries 25 per cent am-
monir, and nitrate of soda carries
18 percent. Therefore, 75 pounds sul
phate of ammonia is equal in value
to 100 pounds nitrate of soda. In
the same way, muriate of potash and
kainit have the same comparative
value. Mur'ate of potash carries 48
per cent potash while kainit carries
12 per cent, and 25 pounds muriate
of potash is equal in value to 100
pounds kainit.
The following formulas containing
cotton seed meal are especially rec
ommended to those farmers who
have cotton seed meal on hand.

Fordor Sedan Gets
Splendid Reception
During Auto Show
Introduction of the Ford Fordor
Sedan to the public at New York,
Chicago and Detroit recently enabled
the company to present the de luxe
car of the new Ford passenger car
line with many features that are
new and exclusive in low-priced cars.
The Fordor is distinctive from the
other Ford passenger cars in exter
ior appearance. The cowl sweeps
down in a graceful curve to a narrow
belt molding which runs from the
front of the hood on a straight line
back and around the car. This gives
the body a long low effect.
Another feature that adds much to
the exterior appearance is the roll
belt effect below the windows which
rolls down to the narrow molding.
The top and rear quarters, which
has rounded corners, is covered with
a pyroxylin-coated material of a tan
shade, in pleasing contrast with the
body colors.
Nickeled windshield frame and a
nickeled molding at the juncture of
the cowl and hood are other bits' of
refinement which add materially to
the attractiveness of the car. Ven
tilators in the lower panels of the
cowl on each side are another fea
ture.
The interior of the car has a strik-
ngly rich and inviting appearance.
The trimming i of tan upholstered
in soft tan stiiped effect with deeply
cushioned seats cloth, highly ef
fective combination. The cushions
are of the lounge style with over
stuffed plain panels. Arm rests in

the rear compartment are another
convenience.
A feature of the rear quarter
which adds to shoulder room for pas
sengers is that the lining is recess
ed from the door pillars, giving the
additional room which is lost when
the trimming is brought back on a
straight line from the pillars.
Seats in both compartments are
deeply cushioned, wide and most
comfortable.
The attractiveness of the interior
is further enhanced by the use of
embossed paneling on the doors and
around the ends of the seat in the
front compartment. This is a de
cidedly distinctive touch, sudh as
might be expected only in custom-
built bodies.
An oval bow light in the rear com
partment and a swinging robe rail
are other pleas'ng and serviceable
featuies. The hardware is all nickel
ed in a conservative style of scroll
effect and is all of uniform design
in harmony with other interior trim
ming.
A Little Talk On
Thrift
(By S. W. STRAUS, President of
American Society For Thrift.)
It is somewhat unfortunate that
in much of the current discussions
of thrift undue emphasis is placed
on the function of pennysaving.
Certainly no criticism can be lev
elled at the doctrine of economy in
little things. Most business failures
as well as those w hich come to in
dividuals are the results of small
items of w’aste. However, true thrift
only begins with small savings. If
this were not true, one would be forc
ed to commend the practices of the
miser.
-As the result of constant exhorta
tions to save pennies, save nickels
and save dimes, many persons receive
such an erroneous impression of
thrift, that they decide to have none
of it.
Thrift should be emphasized as a
practice which means real progress
and rightful upholding. Of course,
ttvs includes saving little things. It
is thrifty to save the pennies. It is
just as thrifty to save the moments;
to be ca:eful of one’s health; to store
the mind with useful knowledge; to
keep one’s self sound mentally and
physically as well as financially.
It is for this*reason that in schools
where savings banks are in opera
tion, t here should also be instructions
given to tin young on the true pur
pose and objectives of thrift. Con
tinually harping upon the point of
saving pennies is quite apt to have
one of two major reactions: (1)
There is danger that the student will
develop a narrow, tight-fisted, mer
cenary, avaric'ous attitude. (2)
There is danger that the whole sub
ject of thrift will seem so tr.te and
colorless that he will pay no atten
tion to it.
Thrift does mean penny-saving but
only as part of the greater plan of
eliminating all waste in order to pro
mote the highest possible degree of
personal efficitency and usefulness.
Newspapers recently told of the
icturn of $110 after its equivalent
in merchandise had been lost for ten
years. A poor office boy had lost
the material. There was no obliga
tion on his part to make restitution
but as a matter of honesty he did so.
The incident furnishes a commend
able example of honesty. It also may
be made use of in emphas'zing one
phase of thrift.
The man who received the money
objected to accepUng it. If. instead
of being generous, he had been one
to insist on the last penny due him,
he could have asked for $198.67 for
that is the amount the $110 would
have grown to be had it been invest-
ed at 6 per cent compounded semi
annually. Had the former office
boy waited one year and 263 days,
longer it would have been necessary
for h ; m to have paid $220 or just
twice the original amount, taking’
into consideration the normal earn
ing possibilities of money.
Figures illustrating the power of
money to reproduce itself are always
illuminating to those who have an
appreciation of thrift and invest
ment.
On August 16> 1819, $10 was de
posited in a N ew York savings
bank. On the 26th of August the
following year, a deposit of $5 was
made. No other addition has been
made to these deposits excepting ac
crued compound interest yet the
bank recently announced that the
account had grown to $2,539.60. In a
little over 100 years, the original de
posit had multiplied 168 times.
The sum of $5 was deposited in a
certain savings bank in i836. No
trace has ever s ’nee been heard of
the original depositor. The account
now amounts to $382.16 or more than
76 times the original deposit
Any person who can save $90 a
month during a period of 25 years,
investing the savings at 6 per cent
compounded semi-annually, will have
the modest fortune of $61,975.
The lessons are obvious. Put your
money to work.
