"After What It Did For Me
I Am Recommending It To
All My Friends," Declares
Veteran Locomotive Man.
Tells About His Own Case.
Hundreds of railroad men are
praising Retonga and among them
the latest is Mr. E. B. McMillan,
well-known retired locomotive en
gineer_aL_tlie?N. C. & St. L. Ry.,
who if or 44' years ran between
Nashville and Chattanooga.
"After what Retonga did for me
^1 am recommending it to' all my
friends," declares Mr. McMillan,
who resides in the Watauga Apts.,
on Park Ave., Nashville, Tenn.
"For about seven years I was sub
ject to attacks of irregular bowels
and after these attacks I felt so
weakened that sometimes I could
hardly navigate at all. My appe
tite went back on me and what I
did eat did not seem to d.gest prop
erly. I felt fagged out, restless and
out of sorts from head to foot. I
spent lots of money on treatments
and medicines but seemed to get
nowhere.
"Retonga gave me prompt re
lief after everything else I tried
had failed. My appetite returned
food seems to agree with me and
1 sleep fine every night. I am
ready for a hearty breakfast now,
and another day with my friends
up town. I feel better than in years,
and Retonga deserves the credit."
Why not try this famous medi
cine? "Retonga is intended to re
lieve distress due to insufficient
flow of digestive juices in the sto
mach, loss of appetite, Vitamin B
1 deficiency and constipation. Ac
cept no substitute. Retonga may
be obtained at Sylva Pharmacy.?

ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION?How can I control
the red mite in my poultry flock?
ANSWER?Where the red mite
has become well established, the
following procedure should be fol
lowed to destroy them. First, re
move the perch poles so thai t'.ie
poles and their supports can be
well treated. All dried manure
should be removed. If the perch
poles are not detachable they i
should be made so. Second, sweep |
down the inner side walls of the
house and remove ail litter from
the nests, floor, and away from the
vicinity ot the house.
When the mites arc found only ,
in the nest and vicinity of the perch
poles, treating these areas may be
suffcient, but in case ot widespread
Infestation, the entire house, in
cluding the roof boards and floor,
should be treated.
Some good mite exterminating
products are crude petroleum, com
mercial carbolineum, coal tar stock
dips, and a combination of equal
parts of waste motor oil and kero
sene. Crude petroleum and car
bolineum, when used for the perch
poles and nests, are most effective
if applied full strength with a
brush, but if it necessary to use
these products for the entire house,
it is best to dilute with kerosene, i
using equal parts of each. Waste
motor oil and kerosene, although
cheap and effective, do not have
the lasting effect of carbolineum or
crude petroleum.
-QUESTION?How should I cul
tivate my roses?
ANSWER?Roses respond favor
ably to shallow cultivation. The
upper two inches of soil should be
cultivated frequently enough to
keep the beds free of weeds and
the surface soil loose. Deep culti
vation is not advisable.
If the weather is dry, roses
should be watered thoroughly. This
should be done by letting the water
run from the hose over the bed for
at least an hour. The soil should
be thoroughly soaked in this way,
then not watered again until the
surface soil shows signs of dry
ing. Sprinkling is almost useless,
or worse than useless. To conserve
moisture and reduce the labor of
cultivation, the soil between the

Leap Year Dance
Draws Big Crowd
(By Al Booze)
Cullowhee ? Some 500 stu
dents and guests attended the Leap
Year dance given Friday night at
Western Carolina Teachers college
by the Women's House Govern
ment association.
A noticeable feature of the dance
was the absence of corsages on
the girls' gowns. The girls had a
greed not to wear them, in view of
the high prices of floWers; they
felt that many girls, whose escorts,
could not afford flowers, would1
not come, or would feel out of i
place.
During intermission a 4'petti- I
coat dance,'-' suggested by an old i
superstition concerning red pet- !
ticoats and Leap Year was pre
sented.
Sammy Beck and his Skyland
ers played for the cU'.nce. Decora
tions consisted of red and white
crepe paper and many-colored ba
loons.

for their kind expressions of sym

of our loved one.
