Malvern, Ark.
Dear Doctor Campbell:
I heartily endorse the campaign that
is being waged by the Rockefeller
Hookworm Commission under the di
rection of the State Board of Health
in the eradication of hookworm disease
and the raising of the now very low
standard of sanitation, since it is by
this means also that the diseases,
such as typhoid fever, tuberculosis,
etc., cart be eliminated to the mini
mum.

Constipation, if Neglected,
Causes Serious Illness
Constipation, it neglected, leads
tn almost innumerable complica
tions affecting the general health.
Many cases of

constipation, C.
E. Ayers, 6 Sabin
St., Montpelier,
Vt., says:
"I was afflicted
with constic. tier,
and biliousness for
years, and at times became so bad 1
would become unconscious. I have been
found in that condition many times.
Physicians did not seem to be able to
do me any good. I would become
weak and for days at a time could do
no worK. Not long ago I got a box
' of Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, and
after using them found I bad never
tried anything that acted in such a
mild and effective manner. t believe
I have at last found the remedy that
suits my case.”
Thousands of people are sufferers
from habitual constipation and
while possibly realizing something
of the danger of this condition, yet
neglect too long to employ proper
curative measures until serious ill
ness often results. The advice of
ad physicians is, “keep your bowels
clean,” and it’s good a iyice.

Columbia, Tenn.—“Many a time,"
says Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this place,
“I wished f would die and be relieved
Of my {suffering, from womanly troubles.
1 could not get up, without pulling at
something to help me, and stayed in oed
most of the time.. 1 could not do my
housework.
The least amount of work tired me
out. My head would swim, and I would
tremble tor an hour or more. Finally, I
took Cardui, the woman's tonic, and 1
am not bothered with pains any more,
and I don't have to go to bed. In fact
I am sound and well of all my troubles.*'
Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It acts with
nature—not against her. It is for the
tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel
as if everything were wrong, and need
something to quiet their nerves and
strengthen the worn-out system.
If you are a woman, suffering from any
of the numerous symptoms of womanly
trouble, take Cardui. It will help you.

Great Benefit in Woodruff.
McCrory, Ark., Feb. 5, 1914.
Dear Doctor:
It is with a great deal of pleasure
that I say to you that the work done
by yourself and assistant in Woodruff
County last summer in the cause of
cure and eradication of hookworm dis
ease has been of untold benefit to our
people. I consider the money spent
by this county in this cause well
spent. It not only has taught our
people the danger and prevalence of
this disease, but you have done a no
ble work in trying to teach our people
better sanitation and better methods
of prevention of not only hookworm
disease, but all other diseases. I trust
you may see fit to visit our county
again and continue your campaign of
education along this line.
Yours very-truly.

The work which the Hookworm Com

My Dear Doctor:
It gives me pleasure to say that
nothing is more in lino with modern
progress; that nothing could do more
for the upbuilding and the prosperity
of any people than the work being
done by our State Board of Health.
The work that you are doing along the
line of hookworm investigation in this
county is invaluable, and the State
Board of Health deserves the thanks
of our entire people for the interest
manifested in this great work.
A revolution in manner of living,
life giving sanitation, better health,
and more happiness, are the blessings
that will result from the intelligent
work now being done. Anything that
1 can do to help on the good work, so
<org neglected and so happily inaug

Mr. Charles A. Whittle of the Georgia
Agricultural College has been kind enough
to send us a statement of the yield of the
tenth-acre tomato patch of Miss Clyde Sul
livan of Lowndes county, Georgia, who won
the championship of the United States in
the Girls’ Canning Club Work.
It certainly gives the girls and boys of
the nation a high mark at which to aim.
But there is no good reason why any one
of them should not equal or even surpass it.
Here is Mr. Whittle’s statement:
The best record of the Girls’ Canning
Club work of the United States for the
year 1913 was made by Miss Sullivan,
whose net profit from a tenth-acre patch
was $132.99. At this rate she would have
netted $1,329.90 from a whole acre. She
grew the tomatoes, canned them, and sold
them in pursuance of the rules of the
Girls’ Canning Club, as laid down by the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
From the tenth-acre Miss Sullivan gath
ered 5,354 pounds of tomatoes. These
were put into 2,466 cans and in the making
of 60 pounds of catsup. An accurate ac
count of the items of expense, the yield,
and receipts have been kept and verified by
county agents. The table of costs and sales
is as follows:
COST.
Rent.$ 1.00
Plowing.. .50
Seed. .05
Fertilizer.. 4.50
Cultivation.f. 10.00
Harvesting. 8.00
Cans, jars, etc. 61.72
Cost of Canning. 10.50
Total.,.$ 96.27
SALES.
968 cans at 10c.$ 96.80
115 1-2 dozen cans at 85c. 98.17
212 cans at 12c. 25.44
Sold as fresh vegetables. 8.85
Total sales..$229.26
Total cost... 96.27
Net profit.$132.99
Miss Elizabeth Holt, the state agent in
charge of canning-club work in Georgia,
giving expression to her aims and hopes,
says of the Girl’s Canning Club Work:
“It Is the first step in an education feat
ure of the State leading to ideal farm home
conditions. ^
The following are the fundamental
needs of the farm home:
i “1. Greater variety of foods.
“2. Better preparation of foods.
I “3. Better facilities for preparing foods.
I “4. Better facilities in the entire work
| of home-making. t
“5. More resources for recreation and
I pleasure.
j “The tenth-acre gardens and poultry
clubs supply the first need. The canning
demonstrations are introductory to the sec
ond. The money profits of the gardening
' and canning render the third and fourth
possible. The social gatherings and club
meetings held in connection with the work
afford the opportunity for the development
of the fifth.
It Works For Better Home-Making.
“It is our plan to develop the gardening
and the cooking work year by year until
finally each girl shall be able to produce all
the vegetables in their proper season and
according to the best methods, and to plan
and prepare the dietary in an economic,
wholesome and attractive fashion through
out the entire year; to so train her in all
the duties of home-making that she will be
able to perform them with consideration for v ,
sanitation and economy of time and effort;
i to furnish her with a list and prices of de
j sirable household conveniences that she may
' know how best to use the money profit of
j her work year by year; to train her to use
her leisure moments so as to increase the
happiness and mental and moral whole
someness of herself and associates.”
With the foregoing as the preamble, Miss
Holt sets forth the needs of the State and
appeals to the legislature to enact a law
that will authorize each county to tax itself
to raise funds for carrying on the work.
Miss Sullivan sold her canned goods to
the consumer or retailer, and therefore
kept all or most of the consumer’s dollar.
The Editor of the Farm and Fireside hap
pened to be in the tomato-canning business
at the same time, and would have been very
well satisfied if he could have been able to
get considerably less than 10 cents for his
As a^matter of fact, the best priefe he got
was 80 cents a dozen for one carload sold
on the Missouri River. Most canned toma
toes sold for about 75 cents a dozen. And
as a matter of fact, when people in the cit
ies were buying them, as they were, three
cans for a quarter, there was no excessive
profit, in them for anyone—least of all for
the grower and canner.
