Can’t Keep Beauty When
You Break Health Laws
You cannot keep beauty long
if you break the laws erf health,
even though nature bestowed it
upon you at birth.
In order that creams and pow
ders may do effective work, they
must have as a foundation a good
skin. The hair must be glossy,
the eyes sparkling and the teeth
clean and white. The person
must be neat and well-groomed.
Above all no one can possess
a charming personality who is
not kind, unselfish and though
ful. Goodness is the crowning
glory that cannot be worn as
a garment to be put off and on
at will. Pretense never de
ceives anyone. The counter
feit will always be discovered,
and disgust will take the place
of admiration.
Three things are necessary
for the beauty-seeker-plenty of
sleep, sufficient exercise and
the right diet.
The list requires knowledge
which you may acquire by earn
est study. It is most unfortun
ate, even tragic, that the Ameri
can diet has been so denatured
and devitalized by milling pro
cesses that mostof the calcium,
vitamins, and minerals have
been removed from our breads
and cereals.
For example, people are pay
ing large prices for vitamins
in pills and tablets, because
they contain vitamins that are
lacking in many foods besides
the white flour, bread, and po
lished rice that constitute such
a large part of their diet.
Iron is a mineral that is es
sential to life itself. It is the
iron in the blood that produces
the red coloring matter. It car
ries the life-giving, essential
oxygen to the various parts of
the body. If a person is defic
ient in iron he is anemic. An
anemic person has a pale, sickly
color. He is listless and has in
digestion.
The sufferer from anemia
must eat foods that are rich in
iron.
THE PERFECT METHOD
Jim—Alice might marry you
if you propose to her correctly.
Fred—How had I better do it?
Jim—Sit on the edge of the
Grand Canyon, get her to sit
on your knee and tell her you’ll
push her off if she doesn’t say
“yes.”

Carolina Beef Producers
More Optimistic This Year
North Carolina beef produc
ers have reason to feel more
optimistic about their industry
as a result of prices paid for
stocker cattle this spring.
Prices averaged $27.27 per
hundred pounds on 11 organized
state sales, an increase of $2.57
over 1967 prices for the same
type cattle.
This is one of the few breaks
cattlemen have received in
prices in recent months.
“I think there is a more op
timistic feeling among cattle
men as a result of stocker pri
ces this spring,” observes A.
V. Allen, specialist in charge of
extension animal husbandry at
North Carolina State University.
“Some of our producers had
became a little discouraged over
beef prices generally. The
strong market for stockers may
have been a shot in the arm the
industry needs, although prices
across the board are still notas
strong as we would like.”
North Carolina farmers sold
7,105 head of stockers in the
1968 sales. These animals,
which had been wintered on a
variety of lowcost feeding pro
grams, averaged 556 pounds.
Total numbers were down by
over 2,000 head and weight was
\ U.N., III. .'-'WW
off only four pounds from 1967
averages. Quality held steady
with 41 per cent grading good
or better—the same percent
age as the year before.
Allen estimates that roughly
60 per cent of the cattle went
out of state, primarily to the
Corn Belt of the Mid-West and
to Northern Virginia, Maryland
and Pennsylvania. Most of the
ones staying in North Caro
lina will be placed on moun
tain pasture for summer graz
ing.
“We could have sold many
more cattle than we had avail
able,” Allen commented. ‘‘The
market this year illustrated
again that North Carolina has
an excellent opportunity with
stocker cattle.”
One of the keys to success
with stockers, the extension
specialist believes, is staying
in business. “Like most other
enterprises, you can’t get in
good years and get out in bad
years,” he explained. “The
people who are most success
ful with stockers stay in busi
ness through bad as well as
good years.”
Stocker cattle are bought in
the fall at weights of around
300 to 500 pounds. The idea
is to grow the cattle rather
than fatten them.
Farmers in western and
Piedmont areas feed large
amounts of corn silage to the
Stockers. They usually buy the
heavier calves in the fall sales.
Further east, lighter weight cal
ves are bought and receive grain
in many cases. Farmers also
use the cattle to clean fields
from which crops have been
harvested.
“The calves put on about one
to 1 1/2 pounds of gain a day
for roughly 200 days,*’ Allen
said. “With the type and price
of feed they receive, and with
Stockers selling for over $27,
farmers have been able to make
a reasonable profit.'’
CERTAIN
A worried lady in Albany
entered a notion store and bought
two packages of invisible hair
pins.
“Are you absolutely certain
these are invisible?” she asked.
‘‘Lady, I’ll tell you how in
visible they are,” the clerk as
sured her.
I*ve sold $4 worth this morn
ing, and we’ve been out of them
for three weeks.”
