Washington, Dec. 81 903.
10 the Gotten growers of the

i have just completed a care
f4i analysis of the report of the
Bureau of Statistics, and am pre-
pared to say that the report
issued Dec. 3, estimating the
crop at $9,962,000 bales, is not

rather than under the indicated
yield.
/ therefore, earnestly urge
al growers of the staple not to
part with their holdings except
at the real value thereof, which
is not less than Is cents per
pound, the figure l have repeated
y predicted would be paid.
PAY no attention to the future
markets and do not let the
and spectators fix the
price of the fruit of your labor.
Farmers of the South, this is
your opportunity. If there is to
be a corner conduct it yourselves
and reap the benefit thereof.
Yours truly,

WHAT THE OLD DOCTOR SAID.

Doctor" said I, you say appendix

thirty years ago"
Indeed, it is replied the old doctor.
THAT we encountered this disease theii'
is true, but not with such appalling ire
quency. Appendicitis, these days. IL
almost as common as sore throat.
ITO what, doctor, do you attribute
this increase of appendicitis?
ITO hasty eating and to the use Oh
foods which have a tendency to clog
and fret the intestines and deaueii
peristaltic action. The way to AVOID ap-
pedicitic and the surgeons knife is TO
shun unnatural foods that beget IN
testinal torpor and constipation.
People who eat Shredded Whole
Wheat Biscuit do not have constipation
and hence need not fear appendicitis.
This perfectly natural food preserves
the tone of the digestive tract and in
duces every excretory gland to sub
serve the body's interests. Have you
tried this most delicious Of all cereal
foods?
