INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis ease in the Body, and an Easy Way to Cure it.

Take care of the stomach and you will have little need for the doctor.
 When the stomach begins to show signs of disorder; when the food digests slowly and with discomfort; when you have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy, you are in condition that needs atten- ton.
 Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis ordered stomach by strengthening and toning up the digestive organs, driving the badly digested food into the bowels and thence out of the system.
 Constipation is nearly always pres ent when the stomach becomes sour or disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con- tains the medicinal qualities which act as a restorative and regulator for the stomach and bowels. It strengthens the digestive organs, cures constipation and prevents the return of bilious conditions.
 Thousands of people who have re- ceived lasting benefit from this great remedy willingly testify to it's power in curing indigestion, constipation and kid ney trouble.
 aI suffered from constipation for years, and tried many remedies, but Prickly Ash Bitte's is the only medicine that has ever done me any good Through its use am now in good health and entirely free from all traces of my former troubie."--B. P. SrIcALI, Winnsboro. Louisana-

COTTON GRADERS
 ARE IN DEMAND
The Business Requires Man With a Keenly Developed Sense of Touch and Accurate Eyesight Sal
 Is Good.

The fact that the states first cotton school for the farmers IS now in progress at Conway. has created considerable comment, among the cotton men m Little Rock, and shows graders are in demand. The school is being run under the auspices of the Farmers Union, and the primary object IS to teaca the art of grad ing cotton, so that those who complete the course may be ready to take charge of the cot ton warehouse belonging to the union.
 A cotton buyer who has had considerable experience in grad ing cotton, said yesterday that a successful grader must possess a keenly developed sense of touch and accurate eyesight. Salaries of graders range from Sl, 200 to S6.000 yearly. Except iu mar kets where cotton is received every month in the year, the graders enjoy vacation in the  summer, and their pay goes on just the same.
 A grader working from 9 o'clock in the morning till } o'clock in the afternoon will grade anywhere from 700 to 1000 bales. By the touch he will determine the fneuess of the fiber and the length of the staple and by the eye he will determine the color.
 There are six grades on a middling basis. The grades are midoling white uplands, mid ding light spotted, middling tinged uplands, middling stained uplands middling light blue and blue. The lengths of the 6bers are classified as an incl: and a sixteenth, inch aud sixteenth, inch and an eighth, etc.
 IA cotton grader is something of a genius," 1t was explained "Whether he acquires the art Dy educa tion, whether he comes by the art as a gift, it makes little difference. He must know at d touch and glance what kind of cotton he is handling. A man might talk asample of cotton and keep it week, and if he knew nothing about grading he would not know any more at the eud of the week than he did at the minute the cotton was handed to him."
 Concerning the length of time required to learn the art, the cotton men differ. Some were of the opinion that cotton planter nigh learn ths art iu a year. Others placed the minimum time required at five years.

she scored one of the distinct Broad

one of the features of the season. She
proved anew that she is the most popu-

that she merits the reputation she has
earned as the most gifted exponent of
comedy roles on the English-speaking
stage today. Her visit to Salt Lake
City, an event in itself, is the more in
teresting from the fact that she is to be
seen in "All-of-a-Sudden-P a
