Early Tomato Plants. No one need lack for early toma toes this year. Plants that ate strong and vigorous can be had from Mrs. George F. Mims at a reasonable price. In order to sup ply her own garden with early to mato plants Mrs. Mims sowed seed of several popular varieties in a hot bed, and having more than are needed for the home demand she will sell them as long as they last. Better order them at once. These plants are superior in every way*to those shipped from Florida and are also better adapted to this cli mate. Are You Rheumatic?-Try Sloan's. If you want <|tiick and real relief from Rheumatism, do what so many thousand other people are doing whenever an attack comes on, bathe the sore muscle or joint with Sloan's Liniment. No need to rub it in - just apply the Liniment to the sur face. It is wonderfully penetrating. It goes r?ght to the seat of trouble and draws the pain almost imme diately: Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25c. of any druggist and have it in the house-against Colds, Sore and Swollen joints, Lumbago, Sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant re lief.-1 ''Clean Up" Day at School.
