Live At Home Plan Going To Be Tried Farmers Write State College Appreciatively Of This Movement Raleigh, Feb. 6 ? Farmers throughout the South seemed to be J interested in the "Live at Home" campaign which is conducted an nually by the Extension Workers of the State College of Nkrrth Carolina, according to a number of letters' that have been received by the di-j rectors of the campaign from per-i sons in various sections of the South. { Director Kilgore has Just received ! a letter from a man in Mississippi! asking for information regarding how the campaign is conducted. The letter is addressed to the Director of Extension Work at the^ State College of Agriculture aud ' reads: "Dear Sir: vi was told today that you gen- 1 tlemen have a written pledge in your' 1924 farm-program telling farmers what to try to* do this year.

Farmers who sigu the pledge and attempt to keep faith] by complying with at least I seven of the ten requests made, will be awarded a Certificate of Honor in 1923. The movement1 which will start on February 22, will be under the supervision of the Extension Division of the State Col lege of Agriculture.

'I 'hose subject to rheumatism should eal no sweets for awhile, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is causcd by uric acid or body waste matter, and is often gen erated in the bowels nrrl nlrtnrhrfl the blood: it is the (unction vi the kidneys to filter this poison from the Mood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin arc also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity.
