I am thinking particularly of Reeds- ville, W. Va. where our first proj- ect is located, and where we have centered various experimental en- deavors. Reeasville is going to cost more than was estimated at the be- ginning. It is going to cost more than the homesteaders now undertake to re- pay, and we shall charge a consider- able amount to experimentation, to relief and overhead. But I feel that it is going to be worth while, It is going to be worth while to the whole program, which will profit by our experiment at Reeds- ville, and it would be worth while, even if the influence of Reedsville went no farther than the homesteaders on the project itself. If vou could see, as I have seen, the miserable shanties in which these homesteaders lived a year or so ago, flimsy, dirty structures,' without water, without lights, without sanitary facilities, perched amid the slag heaps and the smoke and the sul- phur fumes of half-deserted mining towns; if you could sce, as I have seen, these families now living in their clean, MOHAWK Fruit-of-the-Loom comfortable homes; most of all, if you 72x108 AND 81x99 72x112// AND 8Ix103//; pinched faces of the children gain al- $ 29 » ea. most daily in the plump pinkness of C ea.

There is a regeneration of body and spirit going on among these earnest people which augurs well for the new genera- tion who will reap the harvest of con- tentment sown in these co-operative and self-respecting communities For this New Deal of ours is an ad- venture not merely in dollars_and cents, in acres and houses, it 5 an adventure in humanity. The President, Secretary of the In- terior Ickes, are practical men. They know how to count costs, but they also know how to balance things gained against the costs. We are buy- ing something these days which is worth far more than the money ex- pended for it. We are buying happi- ness and security not for the favored | few, but for the many, and I am proud | that the Division of Subsistence Homesteads is a part of this humane | program. 12 DIE AS MEXICANS ATTEMPT TO ROB TRAIN P st o | 70x80 WOOL BLANKETS Cars Leave Track. —S:Il_\-bmmd. fleecy soft, pure-wool blan- $ 3 99 kets in lovely shades of hlue. rose. gold, B Sheets is not alone that subsistence | 90x108-in, homesteading snatches groups from (Pifth Floor, The Hecht (Pifth Floor.

Dr. Edwards, a practicing physi- cian for 20 years, and calomel’s old- time enemy, discovered the formmwla for Olive Tablets while treating pa- tients for chrenic constipation. Olive Tablets do not contain calo- mel, just a healing, soothing vegetable Iaxative safe and pleasant. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab- lets. They help cause the bowels to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth” —bad breath—a dull, tired feeling— sick headache caused by constipation —you should find quick, sure and results from one or two of Dt. Edwards Olive Tablets. 4 Thousands take them to keep rlxm. Try them, 15¢c, 30c, 60c. A marvelous group . . . hand-embroidered or of handmade lace. Also Chairback Sets, oblonn 290 to 31 29 and rounds.
