When the body is about to become ill, nature pipimed danger signals to warn us. Thus, if our children grind their teeth when they sleep, or lack appetite t or Buffer from abdominal pains, or itch about the nose and fingers, we should know that they may have contracted worms. Then, if we are wise, we buy a bottle of White’s Cream Vermifuge and eafely and surely expel the worms. Thus we avoid the danger of very serious trouble.

Lonsdale CLEMSON COLLEGE, July 9.— Happy is the farmer who can say, “If the boll weevil gets every boll of cotton in my field, my family and I will still have plenty to eat.” To this end A. E. Schilletter, ex tension horticulturist, suggests that July is a good time to take stock of the prospects of a continued sup ply of fresh vegetables throughout the fall and winter. Regarding fall garden activities Mr. Schilletter says: “When you prepare your fall garden, apply a liberal amount of well decomposed manure.

Under this plan no franchise tax as now would be paid by the Fed eral Reserve Banks to the Federal Government. Another Plan Analyzed “The Glass bill would provide that, after present 6 per cent dividends, one-half the remainder should be paid to member hanks as an extra divi dend with the residue going to sur plus and Federal Government as fran chise t*x. Tho average annual extras to members would be as follows: Bos ton District, 2.51 per cent; New York, .48 per cent;-Philadelphia, 2.05 per cent; jClevptand, 2.09 per cent; Rich mond, 3.26 per cent; Atlanta, 4.67 per cent; Chicago, 3.20 per cent; St. Louis, 2.02 per cent; Minneapolis, 4.75 per cent; Kansas^ City, 2.74 per cent; Dal las, 3.31 per cent; San Francisco, 1.87 per cent. | “If these extra funds were pooled the result would be an extra average an nual dividend of 1.73 per cent for each member. Under this plan the system would still pay as now an annual fran chise tax, amounting to $1,941,996 on the average.” By way of concrete Instance, the report says, a member bank having capital and surplus of $200,000, there fore holding Federal Reserve Bank stock amounting to $6,000 on which it is recelvihg $360 under the present 6 per cent dividend arrangement, would with the addition of each 1 per cent to -dividend rate receive an ^ddi- plants. The advantage of manure in preventing drying of soil can be better appreciated when we know that 100 pounds of sand will take up 25 pounds of water; clay, 50 pounds of water; organic matter (manure), 190 pounds of water. “Cultivate and clean up ground where vegetables have matured. Decaying vegetables and vegetable plants are likely to increase disease and msect damage next season. “Whe$ you plant your fall crop of Irish potatoes cut the seed pieces larger than you would for spring planting. Do not expose the cut surface and allow them to lose moisture. Press them well in to the soil. Your late crop of Irish potatoes should be planted before August 1, preferably by July 20 or 25. “Remember that the following vegetables require, after planting, under normal conditions, the num ber of days indicated, before ready for use: Snap beans, 42 to 56 days; sugar corn, 56 to 70 days; cabbage, 119 to 140 days; tomatoes, 105 to 126 days; beets, 49 to 63 days; sweet potatoes, 133 to 140 days.

I...—.. When the National Tuberculosis association studied the records of 1,499 patients in' sanitoriums to find out what caused them to con sult a physician concerning their symptoms, it was discovered that about 57 per cent did not consult a physician until at least one month had elapsed from the time the first symptom appeared. Again and again physicians wfro are at- tejnpting to educate the public in the prevention of disease find, themselves compelled to repeat the warning against delay. Many con ditions controllable if seen in their earliest stages go on to death in evitably if they are not taken in time. By means of pamphlets, posters, magazine and newspaper articles, motion pictures, lectures, radio announcements and every other means of publicity known, all the health agencies of this country have been warning people to obtain medical attention promptly on the appearance of any of the symptoms that may be sig nificant of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis may begin in a wide variety of ways. Cough, ex pectoration of sputum containing the germs of tuberculosis, hemorr hage from the lungs, fever, chills, night sweats, fatigue and loss of weight are symptoms known to every one. By the time these symptoms appear, however, the small spot in the lung that is tub erculosis may already be far ad vanced. Tuberculosis, like many other chronic conditions, not inf re- ! quently begins insidiously and de- j velops gradually. When the pati ent is questioned, it is found that he has been feeling tired after slight effort for some time or that he has been having a slight cough. There is loss of strength, Jack of endurance, loss' of appetite, d# 5 - dine in weight, increasing nerv- j «isness, vague pains throughout: the chest, slight tendency to! cough, repeated colds and short- ; ness of breath on exertion for some time previous to the obtaifn- * ing of medical advice.—Hygeia.

W. Straus. President Ameri can Society for. Thrift.) , We are at the end of the begin ning of the last half of the year. Business organizations at this time will be checking over their records to sec what progress, if any, they have made during the half yearly period just ended. It is the time for taking stock; for looking squarely into facts. As individuals, we can do the same thing. What has the half year meant to us in accomplish ment and personal upbuilding? Have we done anything during the period to improve our earning cap acity, real or potential? Have we saved a little out of our earnings in the interest of fhtutfe opportun ities or necessities? Have we re mained steadfast to habits of sen sible living or have we allowed our selves to drift into habits of ex travagance or carelessness in the preservation of our health? In j short, dan we write down the past | half year in terms, of real progress or, in all truthfulness, must we set them down in what business calls “red figures”? General economic conditions, at this time are such that it behooves all of us to make the most of our time and money.
