The recent account of the large ship

able interest in this new prospective in.
dustry. Like all other similar ventures,
however, the oil industry in Alaska is at
present largely speculative. The same
is also very true in regard to most of the
medicines offered to cure stomach, liver
and kidney ills. They spring up from
time to time, make wonderful claims, but
because of lack of merit are soon forgot
ten. Not so, however, with the famous
Hostetters Stomach Bitters. 1t has
been before the public continuously for
fifty years, and if it was not a safe and
reliable medicine could not have stood

ness, la grippe or malaria, it is I'M

Attention
Farmers

Why remain in the North and
stay in doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months f?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
duciDg something the year
round. If you are a stock raiser
you know your stock are now
eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by ex-
pensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
fiesh-forming and fat forming
foodsisin certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first a flesh
producer, and the latter a fat
producer, and they are tn @
cheapest and best fattening ma
terials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing
and truck gardening along our
road in the South than in any
other section of the Union.
