- We are now getting a touch of March weather. Monday was a cold, raw day and at night the mercury dropped nearly ten degrees below the freezing point. It is not probable that any damage was done by the freezing, however. A fine raiir fell Saturday night and the grass and wheat looks fine. A gentleman who has traveled extensively over the county remarked a day or two ago in The Democrat office that he “had not seen a poor piece of wheat this spring.” Oats sowing is generally over with now and quite a bit of plowing has been done for corn.

Pyorrhea Alveolasis, or Rigg’s disease, is not only a serious Condition but is very prevalent. This disease loosens the teeth in the gums, or rather strips the gums from the teeth, so that they drop out and mastication becomes impossible. But even more disastrous to health than the inability to masticate properly, are the effects of the continued ingestion of toxis material -which the pyogenic germs have developed. These tnixed with food pass into the alimentary tract, whence they are absorbed and bring about autointoxication, which in turn is mainly responsible for a large number of grave conditions. Dentist J. W. HORTON treats this disease successfully. Consultation free. —Adv.

LADY WORKERS GET TOGETHER

(Continued from page one)

will find it worth her while to cooperatewith Miss Geyor m the food demonstrator, who is here to h6lp Us solve food problems. Jasper county, thanks to the Home Economics club, is one of the twenty counties in the state fortunate enough to have a food demonstrator. Details will be given later of some very interesting plans in child welfare work which are being rapidly developed. Our children should be more carefully guarded now t han ever before in order to counteract the ill effects of wartime emotionalism. The second half of the session was given to a practical demonstration of the correct way to fill out the new registration cards for women’s services. The second registration of Women, which begins

May 19, will be much more thorough and satisfactory than the first one and a tremendous effort will be made to enroll every woman and girl over sixteen in Jasper county. This registration gives every woman, no matter Where she lives, a chance to help Uncle Sam in this war and it gives Uncle Sam an idea of what he can expect from the American women. Remember this, women, you are not compelled to register. You will not be asked to leave your home if you register nor be compelled to do any work you do not want to do, and any stories to the contrary are lies told to hinder you from showing your loyalty and willingness to serve! LENA W. GRAHAM, Publicity Committee.
