Deala Hawks, of 712 Prospect St., this

"I was always nervous and tossed

' improved that many of the ills from
which I Lave suffered for years have
fied. . .;';'.';'"
"I used to go to bed tired and, when.

KtiU tired. Now I feel like doing a

to Cardui, for I had suffered for years
Until I took it.

to other women a medicine which has
helped me."

TO THE VOTERS OF
MACON COUNTY
There is sjjnu'thing wrong with our
fysteni of handling County Finances,
The three tjucstions asked by the
Macon County League "of Women
Voters ('under date of March 28th)
are perfectly legitimate uestions-for
any voter to ask, H.d should receive
a satisfactory answer.
On November A), 1923, a statement
was issued of County Finances. No
receipts-were, given. The disburse
ments were $h.0Jf.9,V This is. .not a
total statement cf County Finances
as ;'t does not include what goes to
schools.. "A public accountant has
examined the books and found them
to be correct" That means he has
foii n d receipts" and disbursements to
tally as regards the County as a
whole, which is a matter that the
Macon County Deague of . Women
Voters did not call. into question.
But, why cannot we have a more
up-to-date and business-like system
of handling our County Finances?
Why cannot we know the amount
of taxes paid, into the County treas
ury bv Highlands Township for the
years 1920 to 1923 inclusive? '
Why cannot we. know the amount
of money spent by the County on the
rjoads in Highlands Township for the
years 1920 to 1923 inclusive?
VWhy cannot we know the amount
applied to date on the Township
Road Bonds of Highlands Township
-for 1920 to 1923 inclusive?.
Because: Our County Finances are
not handled in an efficient and up
to'date manner. If our County Com
missioners, or the Clerk of their
Board, could have answered the
aliove questions,. they would undoubt
edly have done so promptly and sat
isfactorily. It these questions . cannot be an
swered as to Highlands Township, it
must follow, we take it, that no oth1
er township could get satisfactory
answers -to similar questions.
Why cannot the credits and debits
of our twelve Townships be kept
distinct, just as" a. Bank or Trust
Company, or a merchant, keeps sep
atate the individual accounts of their
patrons, clients or customers?
If there is no classification of ac
counts as to the separate Townships,
how can the tax rates of the different
Tovnships be fixed With equity?
We should employ a certified Coun-
iy Auditor, paying an adequate salA
try, and have one of our Banks as
Treasurer. Then ' we could have a
monthly' statement in the Press as
to our assets and liabilities; and any
voter in Macon County couhd ask
questions as to the standing of his, or
her. Township on financial matters
and receive a prompt and satisfac
tory i eply. V
All that is necessary to accomplish
this is, an interested public. How
long will it take the people of Macon
County "to bestir themselves and de
mand a change? '

Use Surplus Tomatoes (
To Make Good Catsup
Raleigh. N. C, April 26. "On the
home demonstration cufb markets we
find that home canned tomatoes are
not selling very well now 'that the
fresh garden vegetables are coming
iu. Th;se canned tomatoes may be
turned into catsup and more money
made from this by-product than for
the original canned material," ad
vises Mr. Jane' S. McKimmon" State
Agent in home demonstration work
for the State College of Agriculture.
"If your can is filled with pulp as
the housewife usually fills, hers, ten
of these cans will hiake twenty-two
twelve ounce bottles of good thick
catsup. . '.
, "Only' last week I tried out the re
cipe that. I am giving you-and I found
it excellent.
"Pour the contents of ten quart
cans into a large porcelain line'd ket
tle and place on the fire. When hot
strain thiough a collander allowing
both pu!p and seed to go into the
catsup.
".Add I cups finely chopped onions;
3 level teaspoonfuls. ground cloves; 3
level teaspGoiituls ground ginger; 3
level teaspoonfuls red pepper; 3 level
tablespoonfuls ground allspice; 1
level tablcspoonlul ground black pep
per;. HI- level cup' sugar; 1 level cup
salt; 1 quart megar. .
"Boil all ingredients in a porcelain
kettle until the mixture thickens. Add
hot vinegar and boil for thirty min
utes more. Tuste to see if the mix
ture suits your taste as to salt. If
not, more may be added. Thoroughly
wash and scald bottles with soda
water, rinsing fn boiling water. Pour
boiling catsup into bottles and cork
immediately. Always use new corks."

lay 'em. , " -
"On my left are 7 eggs I could have laid 'em in
the same 12 days it I had been fed Purina.
"You can't expect me. to make eggs out of ordi-'

the egg-making, materials. Feed me Purina
Chicken Chowder and Purina Hen Chow and I'll
'show you how I can lay eggs." .
