Robinson Insurance Agency PHONE 66 McCormick Babies, bottle-fed or breast-fed, with any tendency to be constipated, would thrive if they received daily, half a teaspoonful of this old family doctor’s prescription for the bowels. That is pne sure way to train tiny bowels tc healthy regularity. To avoid the fretfulness, vomiting, crying, failure to gain, and other ills of constipated babies. Dr. Caldwells’ Syrup Pepsin is good for any baby. For inis, you nave the word of a famous doctor. Forty-seven years of practice taught him just what babies need to keep their little bowels active, regular; keep little bodies plump and healthy. For Dr. Caldwell specialized in the- treatment of women and little ones. He attended over 3500 births with out loss of one mother or baby. DAake bluing water just before 'using.

When* the uniformity of type and fast rate of growth of trees in the southern “piney woods” also is considered, they are unrivalled in their total productive capacity by any other forest type in the coun try. U. S. Forest Service investi gators estimate the second-growth pine woods of the South, under adequate protection and systematic forestry management, can be made to produce at least one-fourth of the total timber requirements of the country and practically all the naval stores needed for domestic consumption. Dad Buys a New Hat B\ Albert T. Reid FRANK PARKER ART— Unlike tiiv. artisan, the artist can keep on working long after his physical powers have waned. My neighbor, Daniel Chester French, the famous sculptor, is past 31, but this year he is exhibiting one of the finest pieces of statuary he has ever conceived. It represents a young mother holding her infant son aloft and if ever cold bronze held the spirit of life and youth it is in this piece. Mr. French may live to a hun dred, and I hope he does, but when the end comes he will be found still beautiful piece which stands in the Metropolitan Museum, called work ing, like the artist in his own “Death and the Sculptor,” in which the angel of death is staying the hand of the young artist. ALCOHOL— Pure alcohol is a natural element in the human brain, according to a scientist who presented proof of his statement before a meeting of medical men in Buffalo the other day. That is certain to be taken up by the enemies of prohibition as an argument in favor of the repeal of the Volstead act. Of course, it will be an absurd argument, but it will have weight with many. There is no question in my mind, on the other hand, that a great deal of the argument against drinking, on which the prohibition movement gained its strength, was based on e_qually absurd allega tions. The fact is that there are no facts about the use of alcoholic beverages which apply equally to all people, or to any individual per son all the time. Some day the general public will be well enough informed to dis count the “bunk” of both sides in the prohibition argument. ROADS— Who is watching the road con tractors in your town and county? There are many fine-looking con crete roads being built which will not stand up under heavy traffic, especially in regions where the frost can upset their foundations. The city of White Plains, New York, sent an engineer out to make borings in the pavement of a road which cost around $100,000 a mile, and discovered that the contractor had put in a foundation only half as deep as the contract called for. Concrete roads, when properly built, have proved by far the most satisfactory so far. But when im properly built they can give more trouble and cost more for repairs than any other type of highway. FOOD— ‘ The experimental work of the company which is starting up the business of freezing fresh foods by means of “dry ice” so that they will keep indefinitely and can be merchandised like stockings or hardware, has progressed so far and so well that the largest New York department store is now sell ing “frosted” oysters, fish, meats of many kinds, fruits and vegetables just as they sell shoes or shirts or any other “dry” goods. Several small cities have re sponded well to the experimental sales efforts, and with the big stores in the large cities taking up this new line of goods, it seems as if the day was not far off when the local butcher and green grocer might be wise to look for some thing else to do, or else to get into line with the new method. We shall have to make new def initions of “perishable” foodstuffs. ford— Improvements in the Model A are to be followed if rumor is cor rect, with a new type of Ford car in the Spring. I know no more about it than anyone elseh does, but my guess is that the new Ford, when it comes out, will be as sur prising as was the present Model A. Henry Ford has always been a oioneer. He was the first automo bile manufacturer to put the steering wheel on the left, where it belongs, and all the others had to follow suit. He was the first to detect the flaw in the Selden pat ent. on v/hich all the other makers paid royalties for years. Ford re fused to pay tribute, fought the case to the highest courts, and won a victory for the whole industry. He was the first to reduce the daily hours of labor in his factory from nine to eight, the first to establish a minimum wage of $5 a day for the lowliest worker, the first to use modern allovs for strength and lightness, and to build engines to such accuracy that no “block test” wps required. Ford can do those things because he has no board of directors to tell hin what he can’t do, no stock- b'-'iers clamoring for dividends at th^ expense of the product. The greatest achievements have always be.n, always will be, by men work- in single-handed. ALL LIGHT CARS $6.65 WHITTLE BATTERY SERVICE 622 BROAD PHONE 1166 AUGUSTA. GA.

C. The Happiest Farm Family Prizes constantly are offered fbr all kinds of farming achievements except happiness, the prime aim and hope of everybody. Why not for that? The thought is suggested by a remark dropped by a farm specialist after visiting a small farm near Florence, S. C. “There’s 'ihe happiest family I have seen in a year,” said the specialist. Yet that- family had met with several serious misfortunes. A cyclone had done much damage to buildings and crops on the place and several members of the family had had to undergo appendicitis operations during the preceding year or two. Yet one child, the oldest daughter, has been sent through the University of South Carolina .graduating with high honors, arid a son is part way through Clemson College. One, a boy, had taken a series of prizes for pig club work, being designated one of the two best club boys in South Carolina in 1930. And in the family o farm there are only 68 cultivated acres. The family is that of S. B. An derson. The pig club member of it started off with $15 worth of pigs and in four years produced enough to sell $1470 worth and earn $732.44 profit. The father went into purebred hog raising at the same time, bringing breeders from the Middle West. He and the son have sold breeders for starting a half hundred or more herds on oth er farms in several counties. This year they have only 9 acres of cot ton. with eleven acres in tobacco. The Andersons’ present farm was bought when land prices were at their peak. You may bet that the Andersons will pull out of the present depres sion. There arc a lot more like them.
