How Women
in Their 40's
Can Attract Men
Here'a good advice for a woman during her
change (usually from 88 to 62), who fears
she'll lose her appeal to men, who worries
about hot flashes, loss of pep, dizzy spells,
upset nerves and moody spells.
Just get more fresh air, 8 hra. sleep and if
you need a reliable "WOMAN'S" tonic take
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made especially for women. It helps Nature
build up physical resistance, thus helps give
more vivacity to enjoy life and assist calm

toms that often accompany change of life.

Farmers Report Value of Terraces.
Of especial interest are reports of
!the effects of the recent rains on
cultivated fields that arc terraced.
These reports are from farmers who
are cooperating with the local Soil
Conservation Service at the CCC
camp.
The particular fields that are ter
raced are, for the most part, in corn
this spring. Rainfall varied from 'i
inch on farm3 northwest of Murdock
to more than 2 inches on farms east
of Murdock and near Cedar Creek.
Since tjiese fields are contour farmed
with the terraces there were very few
lister ridges that broke where the
rain was lighter, and since no watt r
vas lost from the field there was
no los3 of soil. Where rainfall was
very heavy some lister furrows broke
and the terraces carried the excess
water slowly to the grassed outlet
channel at the edge of the field. Aa
the water moved slowly along the
terrace, some cf it soaked away and
it dropped the silt washed down from
the lister furrows. There was very
little dirt carried and deposited in
the grass in the outlet channel, and
no corn was washed out. .The ef
fects of terraces are especially no
ticeable after hard rains of this typo.
On many fields the good effects of
soil saved by terraces will not be
come evident in crop yields for three
years or more, but the saving in
moisture on terraced ground will pro
duce noticeable results the first
year. As was the case last year
terraced fields produced greater
yields than similar fields farmed up
and down the hill. In following
years the saving of soil and moisture
will produce results that will be in
creasingly evident. These results arc
responsible for the steadily growing
acreage of terraced land In Cass
county.
Cheer-a-Bits.
Although Monday evening was
rainy the women of the Cheer-a-IJit
club were not to be daunted and they
were to be found at the home of

Homer Jameson as assistant hostess.
A delightful evening was spent and
a most appetizing lunch served by
the hostesses. Mrs. Hen Olive was a
special guest for the evening.
Bazaar and Lunch Served.
The ladies of the M. E. church had
another of their pleasant afternoons
Wednesday when a bazaar was held,
preceded by a short program at 2:30
when Dr. L. N. Kunkel played two
violin solos, Mrs. Henry Rugha sang
two numbers, Mrs. Charlie Lenker
played a piano solo, and recitations
were given by Joy Ann and Char
leen Lenker.
Lunches of pie, doughnuts and cof
fee were served during the afternoon
and home made candy was sold dur
ing the afternoon.
Birthday Luncheon.
A very delightful birthday lunch
eon was given by the ladies of the
Christian church Wcdnenday, with
Mrs. Frank Wood and Mrs. V. Itar
ton in charge of all arrangements.
