not know what line of business
he will engage in at Lamar, but

game is for tbe farmer to pay the farmer who
raises his necessities tbe increased prices that
the war has brought ai>out and when buying
his luxuries or those things that are not bare
necessities of life to pick and choose from
amongst them those that have not gone up in
price in spite of the war.
For example, here Is a peculiar situation in
regard to a beverage which is so universally

Now Coca-Cola, as yon know, is realty an
agricultural product—a product of tbe soil.
Cane sugar—tbe very purest and flnest CO*
etltutes a larre part of Coca-Cola syrup. Aa
you know, sugar baa gone way up—*o every
cios of Coca-Cola you drink make* mom
farmer's heart gladder.
So It is with the pure fruit Juices that,
combined, produce the inimitable flavor or
Co-a-Cola. Not ao much in quantity seemincly
wh n you consider—a single glass of thia
delicious beverag-, but enormous when th* en-
tire Coca-Cola output is considered.
Tet this product of nature—of the farm-
increased in cost though it has been to th*
makers, has not been raised one penny in
price to dealer—or to you. The price at th*
soda fountain and in the bottle has not risen
cue iota.
Now inasmuch as the rural population *lon*
of America consumes millions of bottles and
glasses of Coca-Cola every year, you and th*
otuer agriculturists of this country will not
only be able to continue to please your palate*
and get delicious refreshment with thia bev-
erage at no increased cost, but you will be
sending back to tbe farm bigger profits and
more money at no greater expense to youroett.
The European war is not an unmixed evil;
nor yet is it nn unmlxed blessing for thia

we discuss “war brides", munition plants or
other similar phases of tbe situation. We shall
look nt the wur purely from tiie standpoint
of prices f- r raw products, eliber produced here
in this country or imported from foreign
countries. And of course when we consider
raw products we must carry the subject further
on into the matter of the prices we get end
the prices we must pay for fltihbed products.
We slull confine our consideration, too, to those
products which have their origin on the farm

One of Nature’s signals is an unhealthy skin. It is a
scientific fact that tbe skin indicates the condition of the
blood and the blood is the building material for the body and all its
vital parts. Unless the blood is nourished and kept rich and healthy,
it will evenually react on tbe organs it feeds and reduce the indi-
vidual to a pitiable condition. Little do people realize the physical
ailments that drain away strength and vitality and that can be
traced straight to the poor supply of blood. Pimples, Eczema, Salt
Rheum, Rheumatism, Carbuncles, Boils, Catarrh with its obnoxious
results and tbe tendency to easily catch cold.
Malaria and scores of other equally serious ail-
ments, are all manifestations ot bad blood. For
over 50 years S. S. S. has been a mighty remedy
for these disorders. Thousands of men and
women have been relieved or actually cured by
S. S. S. Many of them had spent years and
hundreds of dollars for other remedies in a
fruitless endeavor to regain health—a marvel-
ous tribute to S. S. S. S. S. S. is purely
vegetable and when taken into the stomach is
absorbed by the blood, supplying certain ele- ‘
ments which stimulate the action of the blood
corpuscles and help them drive out impurities
and build up the system. With such a tried and
true medicine awaiting you at the closest drug
store, will you go on suffering and looking badly
when so many others similarly afflicted have
turned to S. S. S. and found the meaning of
perfect health. Our Medical Department will
gladly advise you about your case without cost
to you if you wish to avail yourself of this
service. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Georgia.
