A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or q starved
liver. 1t would be stupid as well as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver 1t Is
. great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver Is but an
indication OF an ill-aourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs Of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of silver
trouble by Its wonderful control OF the
organs Of digestion and nutrition. It re-
stores the normal activity Of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
Ing glands z,anses the system from pol
sonous accumulations, and 50 relieves the
liver Of the burdens imposed upon It BY

THE RIGHT MEDICINE

TO COLLECT
MISSOURI CLAIMS.
A Half Million Dollars is Due the
State From the Govern.
ment.
n1ent.

Jefferson City, Aug. 10.-C. c. Cal-
houn, an attorney Of Lexington, KY,
was here and practically closed the
contract with Governor Folk, Attor-
ney General Hadley and the other
state officials for the collection oithe
government land claims and the bal
ance on the old Civil war debt for the
state OF Missouri against the federal
government, as authorized by an act
OF the last state legislature. Mr..
Calhoun is the attorney who was here
before the legislative committee last
winter and presented the iac ts and
evidence upon which the law author
lies the collection OF these claims is
based.
The land claims aggregate some
thing more than 2 million dollars,
and grow out OF the alleged unequal
allotment OF school lands by the gen.
eral government. When Missouri
was admitted into the Union as q
state it received from thegovernment
every sixteenth section Of land for
the benefit OF its public schools,
while some OF the other states v Yhich
followed her into the Union received
every sixteenth and thirty second
section OF land for public schools.
The balance on the old Civil war
debt is estimated to be In the neigh
borhood of X million dollars, and Is
due the state for equipment and sup
piles furnished the national govern
ment In the Civil war. The state has
already received $475, 1913 from the
government on this claim, the origi-
nal amount being million dollars.
This $475,19s was appropriated to
the good road fund OF the different
couties OF the state, and the city Of
st. Louis by the last legislature to
be distributed equally, and the state
auditor had already made the dis
tribution, giving each county and
st. Louis city $4,1 100.

Is MURDERED
AT MUSEUM.
Otto SeIIhOrsi, Insane, Opens
Fire With Rifle Four Shots
Hit Van ItersOn.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-A murder
occurred at the National museum here
shortly before noon.
f. Van Iterson, fifty-fve years old,
an artist, employed temporarily in the
museum, was sitting at his desk when
a man said to be Otto SeHhorst Of 1927
Poplar street, Philadelphia, walked in
and opened fire on him with Win
chester rife. Van Iterson fell to the
floor dead with four bullets in his
body. Sellhorst was arrested. He de-
clined to make any statement.
The trouble between the two men is
said to have begun in Philadelphia.
Sellhorst carried the rife wrapped in
paper. He inquired at the museum
during the morning where Van Iter-
sons room was and after lettering
around the building for awhile ap-
preached Van Iterson's desk, taking
the paper covering from the rifle as
he did so. He opened fire without
warning.
Van Iterson was a Hollander. He
came to Washington six onths ago to
work for a local lithogrd )her and oc-
casionally did work for the National
museum. He started in on Il new en-
gagement at the museum during the
morning.
An Easton Pa) dispatch says that
Otto Sellhorst, who killed e. f. Van
Iterson at Washington, left the Easton
sanitarium last October. He had been
treated for nervous breakdown.
Some of the employees of the Ma
tional museum heard Sellhorst say aft
er he had shot Van Iterson, you'll not
trouble my family any more" Sell
horst told the police he had not seen
Van Iterson i'll fifteen years.

FARMS FEED MILLIONS.
Great Growth in Value of Agricul-
tural Lands.

TRENTON, Jan. 17:-The State
Board of Agriculture yesterday open
ed its annual session in the State
House. The most interesting part of
yesterdays session was the report of
Secretary Franklyn Dye. 1t showed
that the total value of farm lands
and Improvements is 84,057,960,
and that the appraised value of live
stock is $75,506,939. The farms pro-
duce enough foodstuffs to supply
10000, 900 people, or many times
the population of the state. 1t also
shows that in seven years the value of
live stock was increased from $4S,-
OO5,732 to $75,506,939. *
The greatest problem at present,
according to Secretary Dye, is that OF
farm labor, it being almost impossi-
BILE to get sufficient help to properly
work the farms.
George w. f. Geunt, OF Glouces-
ter county, made a report for the
state Grange which showed that ii
has 10000 members, and that OF
this number $500 were added last
year.
The New Jersey Beekeepers' AS
sociation also met yesterday in con-
nection with the state Board of Ag-
riculture. A number of addresses
were made by bee experts and ques-
tion box was established.
