Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as
digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is
acted upon in such a way as to pro
duce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins Of our body and
thereby makes us strong, healthy and
robust, and it is the weakening OF
these digestive juices that destroysit.
1t is our own FAULT if we destroy our
own health, and yet it is so easy for
anyone to put the stomach out OF or
der. When you need to take some-
thing take it promptly, hut take
something you know is reliable
something like Kodol for Dyspepsia
or Indigestion, Kodol is pleasant to
take, it is reliable and is guaranteed
to give relief. It is sold by L, j.
Garner.

The cup of human misery is never

THE BOIL WEEVIL,
METHODS OF Fighting
THAT HAVE BEEN TRIED and FOUND
USEFUL BY
one WHO HAS FOUGHT IT.
Early Planting, Frequent Col
Observation-Disclosures of
Culture.

Having lived in the aboll weevil
infested district Of Texas, and
having had under my observa-
tion various machines, devices and
poisons heralded to exterminate the
pest, I take this liberty to write the
method which has proved TO be the
most successful in combating pest.
(1) EARLY planting (2) frequent
cultivating, with plowi (3) where
practical, arrange the rows East and
West; (4) wide rows and wide in
the drill (5) begin plowing as soon
as it is up, and pillow until it begins
TO open; co use stick or rod across
singletree, or other practical place,
that will bend the stalks down just
ahead of the plow,- lin other words
shake the stalk.
Early planting is favorable, be-
cause the weevil does not get to work
severely i'll the early summer.
This fact offers an opportunity
to make considerable cotton before
all forces arrive yhsssk Sa or often
er. If the rows are arranged east
and west, this allows the suns rays
to reach the ground better tlan il
shaded between the rows by the
stalk. The object of plowing fire
quently and shaking the stalk i'm
mediately ahead of the plow, is GOV
ering the weevil with dirt, which i.
easily done. A very moderate sllak,
of the stalk will be responded to by
turning all holds loose aud fallins
to the ground, where he is as ouie
as death-sulls.
Many theories have been advanced
machines built and Patented, pois
ons compounded and exploited, bu
the above brief directions have prov
ed to be the best method yet demon
strated,
At last this method has as it
prime motive, a burying of the wee
vii, which certainly delays his pro
gress, and TOO, he may perish.
If tie soil is dry and hot, th
burying process is more successful
than if cool damp. Wet cool wealth
er is favorable to their life and de
velopement, while hot dry weathe
is their greatest enemy
Picking the squares etc. up an,
carrying them from the field, burn

N"ft ~ W.
New York, Dec. !. - The profess
sional operators in stocks did most Of
the business in the days market.
Their transactions We're IN the class Of
securities designated as sp|ecialties for
the most part, market pools making
their influence felt in more than one
case in moving prices much at will.
The course of affairs in their broader
aspect did not receive much attention
in the superficial explanations offer
Ell on these movements.
In the less observed movements in
the market there was some reflection
Of views supposed to be held by the
large holders, of securities on some
of the larger aspects of affairs. Yes
terday's heavy fall in the price of
United States Steel shares was fol-
lowed today by further free offerings
Of that stock. Dealings in It were on
a scale unusually heavy even in so I'M
weildy a stock, by reason of the huge
belk of it's capital. A single transac-
ton of 20, 600 shares Jf Steel was
made on the floor during the day. the
block being k by one purchaser
although several sellers contributed
TO the trade. The selling of this
stock is regarded as being prompted
to some extent at least by the growing
probability of some radical action on
the tariff than has been The eXpcc-
tation in financial Quarters. The
movements of United States steel are
Of such impressive nature on specu-
lative sentiment toward the whole
market that it is difficult to over
come it by contrary movements in
other stocks.
Another Development Of the day
was the definite arrangement by in
ternational banking houses to ship
gold to Paris on Thursday. Another
rise in the foreign exchange rates to-
day wiped out the margin separating
the price from the point of profit on
gold shipments. 1t vas denied that
allowance o. interest on the shipment
while in transit by the Bank of
France figured in the transaction,
Bankers estimate that the movement
may run to $40. 600, 600 or $12,0 00,-
600. The Unsuitable demands of the !
Bank of France for gold in face Of an
Unprecedented volume of holdings
no little wonder amongst
bankers. 1t is believed that unin-
terrupted selling Of American secur-
tiles by foreigners is the dominating
cause of the movement. The call
loan rate affected today. although in
slight degree. Su~b-trcasury opera
tons took $2.G43,000 from banks on
account of a retur of government
deposits called for last week by the
secretary.
