Bean Movement
From the Valley

Movement of green beans from
the Valiev will be reduced approxi
mately 50 per cent, as a result of
the cold weather of last week, ac
cording to official government es
timates. which corroborate csti
! mates of local shippers.
Damage to tomatoes was slight,
and potatoes escaped practically
unscathed, the government experts
state.
The effects of the cold weather
have been very apparent in ship
ments from the Gulf Coast areas
the past ten days. The cabbage
i movement has shown a steady de
cline. and the late spring move
ment of this mommodity will be
greatly reduced.
According to Valiev shippers the
Valley cabbage crop will fall short
short of the original estimates, as
the vield is averaging approximate
ly five tons to the acre. This, they
state, will be a factor in holding up
the price on late shipments.

Why Rheumatism cant be rtibhedout
CHOSE muscular pains, com
monly called rheumatism,
are generally due to a “run
down” condition, with the num
ber of red-blood-cells below the
normal count.
S.S.S. aids the system in build
ing up these red-blood-cells and
in getting rid of the condition of
which the rheumatism is but a
symptom. The body becomes
strong and disease-resistant, and
the rheumatic pains go.
Pains in your muscles and
joints make you miserable, less
efficient, interfere with your
working hours, ruin your sleep.
If allowed to continue, as the
jcars pass the danger increases.
But what a change with rich,
red-blood-cells in your body—
Nature’s building material—mak
ing the flesh firm—giving
strength to the vital organs.
You can’t rub rheumatism out.
It is deeper than that. It must
be driven out. And the sure way;
is by help'ng the fighting blood—
the red-blood-cclls!
Increase your army of “work
ers” (red-blood-cells), and those
muscle and joint pains, commonly;
called rheumatism, vanish. S.S.S.
has brought this change about for
thousands. Why not for you? y
