There are three vital processes of human existence, the digestion of food, the extraction of nourishment from It and the elimination of waste. Poor digestion and assimilation means failure to derive full nourish ment from food and that in turn often means impoverished blood, weakness, anemia, etc. Foor elimination meana an accumulation of waste matter Which poisons the body, lowera vitality, decreases the power of resistance to disease and leads to the development of many serious Ills. Rheumatism, due to some inter ference with the process of elimina tion, failure to get rid of certain body poisons, cannot be expected to yield ' to any medicine that falls to correct the condition responsible for it. Could any reasonable person expect to rid himself of rheumatic pain as long as rheumatic poison la allowed to remaia In the body. Think of this. It explains the suc cess of Nature s Remedy (NR Tablets) In so many cases where other medicines have failed. Thousands are using NR Tablets every day and get ting relief. Why pay five or ten times as much for uncertain things? A 25c box of Nature's Remedy (NR Tablets), containing enough to last twenty-five days, must help you. must give you prompt relief and sat isfactory benefit or cost you nothing. Nature's Remedy is not only for the relief of rheumatism. It im proves digestion, tones the liver, reg ulates kidney and bowel action, im proves the blood and cleanses tha system. You've tried the expensive medicines and doctors, now make tha real test. You'll get results this time. Just try it Nature's Remedy (NR Tablets) is sold, guaranteed and recommended by your druggist. OR -TABLETS- Our Part in Feeding tke Nation (Special Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) HOW WOMEN CAN HELP ON THE FARMS. Mil". ffi-1 rAkr?" Tll In the Lighter Farm Work Such as Picking, Sorting and Packing Fruits Women Can Replace and Release Man Power. TOWN WOMEN MAY AID FARM WIVES May Also Release Men Employed in Lighter Industries for Ag ricultural Work. ALSO AID IN TRUCK FARMING Not the Policy of Agricultural Depart ment to Call Upon Gentler Sex Until Nation's Food Produc tion Is Threatened. Only when the man and boy supply is exhausted and the failure of the nation's food production campaigns are threatened, should the United States call upon women to do men's work on the farm. That, briefly, may be said to be the policy of the United States depart ment of agriculture in the matter of women as farm laborers. Badly as la bor will be needed to carry through programs of food production this year, the department does not believe the situation yet demands the employment of women for the heavier farming op erations. Rather, it believes that ef forts now should be directed toward persuading able-bodied men In the cit ies to do farm work and that commu nity action should be directed to this end. Work for Women. But there will be work to do for the thousands of women who are of fering to help the farmers with their big task. Helping farm women with their added duties and taking the place of men In the lighter industries, thus releasing male labor for the farms, are Important ways in which women may aid agriculture's program, department officials point out. Furthermore, wom en can be expected to help, as they have In the past, with the lighter work of truck farming, in picking and pack ing berries and fruit and with much other light labor of food production. But if a serious labor shortage threat ens the harvest of the country's food crops the department of agriculture, In co-operation with the department of labor and other federal and state agencies, will request women to help meet the situation. It has instructed Its field agents to aid farmers in ob taining women workers when such con ditions arise. Among the sources from which ad ditional labor may be obtained on the farms are: (1) from among the wom en already on farms; (2) from rela tives of farmers who are living In cit ies and who arc willing to work on farms during slack business or Indus trial periods; (3) from the foreign women who are accustomed to work In the fields under a system of Inten sive agriculture before migrating to this country ; and (4) from women in r-by villages and towns who might !oyed on farms and still live at minify it becomes nec woinen, the princl- are to stimu rn work and the necessity . order to main Women, ting woman lahor e the kind of work .one, the amount, and trs ami wngo.s oflY'r"d. i offering hersolf shou'd inds of work she is .will nd whether she is willing i day and every day in the should he thoroughly under all parties concern d th-.t 1 h are to receive a v.tzp equal 1 given men for perform iii., ),,, , 1jrt',""!rt f work, Yberever new sible, this can be brought about by putting the work on the piece basis. The function of the home demonstra tion agent and the county agent is to see that the county exchange lists all women desiring work, as well as the farmers desiring women farm workers. If there were a sufficient demand In certain communities for women, one of the local woman committeemen might act as the medium of local ex change. The home demonstration and county agents will also keep In touch with the farm hlp specialist, employ ed by the office of farm management of the department. She will be ready to a'dvise the various committees as to whether the conditions under which women work on farms are satisfactory, and not detrimental! to their health and morals. Use Rag Doll Tester. The "rag doll' seed tester, a simple and reliable method of determining germination, will tell you whether your seed corn is fit to plant. This method of testing corn Is described in detail in Farmers' Bulletin 948 of the de partment of agriculture. Briefly it consists of a strip of cloth, preferably bleached muslin, 10 inches wide and from 3 to 5 feet long. The cloth should be marked off into squared sec tions and the squares all numbered. The ears to be tested should also be given corresponding numbers. Six or more kernels should be selected from different parts of each ear, and placed In the proper section. When the test er is filled, fold over each side so that the edges meet In the center, roll up and soak the tester for a few hours In lukewarm water. Drain the excess water off, and place the dolls In a warm place to germinate. They should be covered with a wet cloth to keep them moist, and in about five days should be sufficiently well germinated to show their fitness for seed. Ready for Spring Drive? Have you ordered the necessary farm implements and machinery, lime, fertilizers, and the like? If not, do so at once. Don't wait until the spring rush is upon you. It may be too late then to get what you need. The Unit ed States Department of Agriculture has been urging farmers to make ar rangements early for these materials this year because of transportation problems. It will soon be too late to bo early. EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN As a rule the employment of women in 1 farming operations should not be considered if the agricultural production can be maintained by the employment . of men and boys. The depart- i ment of agriculture does not HE wish to urge the use of women f laborers on the farms unless the j man supply becomes exhausted. The lively interest now being shown by women In all parts of . the country who are eager to volunteer their services to help the men and hoys carry out the nation's food production program this year has forced the atten- tion of federal officials to the fact that needed work can be 4. done by these willing hands. i Women who can help farm worn- -r en with their work and who can 4 J release men in the lighter in- dust lies to do the heavier' work J X on the farms can five valuable . 5 aid in the present labor einer- j 5 -'ncy.

No one has any doubt of their ability to get there. There will also be a spring drive on this side of the ocean, ifecause March is the year's "blue Mon day." It is the most fatal month of the year. March and April is a time when resistance usually is at lowest ebb. It Is a trying season for the "run-down" man. But medical science steps in, and says, "it need not be" ! We should cul tivate a love of health, a sense of re sponsibility for the care of our bodies. Do not allow the machinery of the body to clog. Put the stomach and liver in proper condition.

Rondthaler, a student of the University of North Carolina, has a scheme which has as Its aim, the relief of the labor situa tion on the farms in North Carolina. He has written Major W. A. Graham, commissioner of agriculture, suggest ing that he furnish to the commis sioner the names of students who may be willing to work on the farm dur ing the summer. He proposes to give the desires of the students as to the nature of work and the length of time which they are willing to work. With this information in the hands or the commissioner of agriculture, Mr. Rondthaler proposes that those farmers who desire labor of this sort during the summer get into communi cation with the commissioner of agri culture in order that the men wanting work and the farmers seeking labor may find their common wants met. "It will be necessary," says Major Graham, who . is enthusiastic about the project, "to name some price per day or week, and while the students would not be exorbitant in their charges, they are entitled to receive the amounts which are paid in the country for this work. It is certainly very commendable in the students to take this action, and I will give care ful attention to bring it to a successful issue." Blacklisted by Page. Washington. J. Habit, of Edenton, N. C, was put on the blacklist by the food administration. All wholesalers and food handlers operating- under a license were forbidden to deal with him. Habit was found guilty of exacting exorbitant prices for groceries, selling in unreasonable quantities and forcing combination sales on flour and sugar. An "unfair order" against him has been issued by Henry A. Page, food administrator for North Carolina, with the approval of the food administra tion. Local Tobacco Workers' Union. Durham. Employes of the two big tobacco factories of Durham have or ganized a local branch of the Tobacco Workers union, and are actively affili ated with the American Federation of Labor. District Organizer Hamilton has been in conference with the local union on a number of occasions, and while nothing has been issued for pub lication by the officials of the Dur ham organization, It is known that the members are enthusiastic and are ral lying support rapidly. KInston as a Fur Market. KInston. Kinston for the first time was quite a fur market the past sea son. The business here during the three cold months amounted to many thousand dollars. One buyer spent between $5,000 and $6,000 on a single trip down into Beaufort county and back by the way of Ayden and Grif ton. Minks were especially numeroui the past winter. Shoots Sweetheart; Kills Self. Selma. Miss Emma Rose, a tele phone operator here, was, it is believ ed, fatally shot by D. E. Crocker, who then sent a bullet through his own heart. Crocker was a young farmer who lived near here. The shooting to:k place in the street near the home cf Miss Rose, who was returning home from her work. The young man fired three shots at her, two of which took effect and one o? the bullets, it is be lieved, passed through, her lungs. Peterson Gives New Bond. Raleigh. Major George L. Peterson, assistant quartermaster at Camp Jack son, charged with embezzling $6,700 of state funds while paymaster of the North Carolina national guard, was ar rested at a hotel in this city upon his arrival from Columbia, S. C. Later he furnished a new bond of $10,000 for ap pearance at trial. He forfeited a sim ilar bond. A "Soldiers of the Soil" movement, 'with intent to enlist 25,000 boys for work on the farm, has been launched In Canada. NORTH CAROLINA BRIEFS. Charlotte teachers who asked for an increase of $25.00 per month on their salaries, have been offered a 10 per cent increase, which was promptly re fused, and the situation is growing serious. Earle Neville, wh owas convicted of assault upon a white woman at Ra leigh, went to his death In the electric chair, calmly protesting his innocence. The postoffice at Falling Creek, this State, has been abandoned upon rec ommendation of the postmaster. In a dispute between John R. Bell, of Mt. Olive, a prominent farmer and business man, and Sam Broadhurst, a negro, which occurred at the latter's store in the suburbs of the town here this morning, the negro was almost in stantly killed, dying in five minutes after his throat was gashed by Bell. The Asheville school for pastors and workers, which has been in session for the past five days at the First Bap tist church, came to a successful close, when all the students of the school who have successfully completed the course of instructions were given di-olomas.
