How To Lose 17 Pounds Of Fat GOSSIPERS PEEVED Mrs. Robert Hickey of Roseville, Calif., writes: “My doctor pre scribed Kruschen Salts for me—h s^id thev wouldn’t hurt me in th" least. I’ve lost 17 lbs. in 6 weeks. Kruschen is worth ils weight in gold.” Mrs. Hickey paid no attention to gossipers who said there was no safe way to reduce—envious women who don’t like to see others youth fully slim. She wisely followed her doctor’s advice. Why don’t YOU? Get a jar of Kruschen today (lasts 4 weeks and costs but a trifle) and if you don’t lose 12 lbs. and feel years younger and heal thier—money back. Simply take half teaspoonful in cup of hot water every morning (tastes fine with juice of half lemon added). Stroms’ Drug Store. —Adv. MASTER’S SALE Gov.

R. A. Has Much Interest In Rural Re habilitation Program Looking towards the permanent rehabilitation of clients on relief rolls, the McCormick County ERA has taken particular interest in its Rural Rehabilitation program. At the present time, according to Dr. C. K. Epting, administrator, there are 162 rural rehabilitation clients in the county. Approximately 166 mules have been allotted by the South Carolina Emergency Relief Administration to the McCormick County unit. The Rural Rehabilitation jiro- gram is quite different from the general relief program in that clients are required to pay back to the government every cent that has been loaned them. In order to be eligible for rural rehabilition, cli ents must have an agricultural background, a determination to succeed and a sufficient amount of farm help in their families; who could carry cn in case anything should happen to the head of the household. Close supervision is given by a rural rehabilitation su pervisor, to the farming activities of each client. There is also a case worker from the Social Service Bu reau, who contacts each family and works with the wives of the clients. The supervisor advises as to the kind of crops to plant, as well as the proper cultivation, gathering and marketing of the crops; the so cial worker advises the housewives as to various things that will make the home more comfortable, more elevating and more profitable.

The Garden Tours are conducted by the Young Women's Christian Association for the benefit of Camp Burgiss Glen, the camp for girls which the Association operates near CedsuuMountain, North Caro lina. Last year over six hundred people from the two Carolinas and Georgia visited the Greenville Gardens which are recognized as among the most beautiful in this section of the country. xxx Jolson Go-Stars With Ruby Keeler In New Musical New research into the great sub ject of plant foods is constantly adding new evidence of the impor tance of the lesser known elements to successful crop production. For nearly a hundred years sci entists as well as practical farm ers have accepted the tradition that the three common elements—nitro gen, phosphate and potash—are al ! that a crop requires. The past few years, however, scientists have pro duced so much proof of the im portance of the rarely elements— impurities, such as kxUne, boron magnesium, sodium, calcium strontium, lithium and many oth ers—that the subject of these im purities has become about the most important one in the whole realm of plant feeding. The rarer ele ments are coming to be considered as necessary to a crop as nitrogen itself. The fact that the vital impuri ties are present in Chilean Nitrate of Soda is considered one of the main reasons for the outstanding effectiveness of this nitrogen fer tilizer. Chilean Natural Nitrate was created, scientists believe, while the earth itself was being formed. Con sequently they believe that it con tains as many of the rare elements as sea water contains—thirty-five or perhaps forty of them. Only very small quantities of these elements are required by growing plants but they must have them if they are * to have the health that produces robust growth and a good profitable yield. ABBEVILLE OPERA HOUSE MON DAY AND TUESDAY In addition to paying the work ers for 'fhelr efforts on the proj ects, those who are interested are- taught by the supervisors of the women’s division, the ornamental and artistic side of the handicrafts. These instructions are given free, after working hours, by the ERA With the, hope that the women will ultimately develop artistic talents of their own. In many instances worthwhile articles are made from materials that ordinarily would be thrown away. Table cloths and table mats are made out of sacks, rugs out of burlap, vegetable baskets, soil clothes baskets, and feed baskets for the farmers out of native ma terial and various other articles. There are now over 16,000 women eligible for relief in the 46 counties of the state.

Washington, D. C: -txt- Forage Advantages In Feeding Of Hogs There are at least three impor tant advantages of'forage crops in pork production ih this state, says County Agent E. L. Rogers, who gives below these advantages as stated by Prof. L. V. Starkey, head of the Animal Husbandry Depart ment of Clemson College: 1. More economical gains. The feed-saving value of forage crops ranges from 10 to 30 per cent of the concentrates necessary to produce a given weight of pork. 2. Greater freedom from disease. Hogs raised on forages show a much lighter infestation of such parasites as round worms and kid ney worms: 3. Saving in fertility. When hogs are fed on forages the manure is distributed over the IkndV when fed in dry lot a large per cent of the manure is wasted. “The amount of forage required ner sow is not very great”; Prof: Starkey explains. “An acre of land of medium fertility should furnish abundant grazing fhr a brood sow and her two litters. On most farms there is at least an acre of fertile soil somewhere near the bam which can be used to advantage for this purpose. “Some of the best forages which rr~v be used for summer are:- EToxi soybeans, Pearl millet, cow- r s. Sudan grass. For winter fbr-r* sr es, barley, rape, rye, and' oats P i good results. One of the at tractive. features of. using .small g: a ins .for, hog grazing ..is that thej hngs may.bq removed about. first of April and' the fbrage may I still yield, a normal amount ofT j grain. ’’ ^ ,v<
