This Woman Lost
45 Pounds of Fat
“Dear Sirs: For 3 months I’ve
been using your salts and am very
much pleased with results. I’ve lost
45 lbs., 6 inches in hips and bust
measure. I’ve taken 3 bottles—
one lasting 5 weeks. I had often
tried to reduce by dieting but never
could keep it up, but by cutting
down and taking Kruschen I’ve had
splendid results. , I highly recom
mend it to my friends.”—Mrs. Carl
Wilson, Manton, Mich.
To lose fat SAFELY and HARM
LESSLY, take a half teaspoonful of
Kruschen in a glass of hot water in
the morning before breakfast—
don’t miss a morning. To hasten
results go light on fatty meats, po
tatoes, cream and pastries—a bot
tle that lasts 4 weeks cost but a
trifle—but don’t take chances—be
sure it’s Kruschen—your health
comes first—get it at any drug
store in America. If not joyfully
satisfied after the first bottle—
money back.

TO BE CHEERFUL AND HAPPY
Jesus was the center and soul of a glorious existence; a bringer of
news so wonderful that those who received it should be marked by
their radiance as by a badge. Of course he disregarded the narrow
code of the Pharisees.
“You shall walk only so far on the Sabbath,” said the Code. He
walked as far as he liked.
“These things you may eat and these you shall not,” said the Code
“You’re not defiled by what goes Into your mouth,” he answered,
“but by what comes out.” £
“All prayers must be submitted according to the forms provided,”
said the Code. “Non^ others are acceptable.”
It was blasphemy to him. His God was no Bureau, no Rule
Maker, no Accountant. “God is a spirit,” he cried. “Between the
great Spirit and the spirits of men—which «are a tiny part of His—no
one has the right to intervene with formulae and rules.”
He told a story which must have outraged the self-righteous mem
bers of his audience. He said that a certain man had two sons. The
elder, a perfectly proper and perfectly uninteresting young man, work
ed hard, saved his money, and conducted himself generally as a res
pectable member of society.
The younger son was a reckless ne’er-do-well, who took his portion
for Ten Y ears ‘ of the estate and went int0 a far country where he led a wild life and
Cotton Crop In
State Smallest
COLUMBIA, Dec. 11.—The South
Carolina cotton crop was estimat
ed,, qt 695,000 bales yesterday by
Frank O. Black, statistician, in the
final government report for 1932.
This is the second smallest crop,
the report said, since 1883, the next
smallest being in 1922, when only
492,000 bales were produced.
“The area in cultivation July 1,”
the report continued, “is now esti
mated at 1,861,000 acres and that
picked at 1,842,000 acres, the ab
andonment amounting to 1 per
cent. Last year’s picked acreage
was 1,960,000.
“Based on the above acreage the
yield of lint per acre is 180 pounds,
which compared with 245 pounds
last year and the average of 165
pounds for the years 1921-30.
“The census report shows 665,-

Carolina pfioi* to December - 1,
Which fciSmpaxes with 975,000 last
year and 942,000 in 1930.”

to work his way back to his father’s house. The father saw the boy
coming a long way down the road, ran to him, threw his arms around
his dusty shoulders, kissed his forehead.

to celebrate. For this my son which was gone has come back.” Do mville S. D. No. 15 8 mills

“But the other thing Is equally wrong. They who neither laugh
nor sing are out of tune with the Infinite. Those who find no pleas

and Pharissees. You are painfully careful to give exactly one-tenth
of your incomes to the Temple, but you neglect to leave the world a
little more cheerful.

ters to be happy.
