It's a pity when sick ones drug the
stomach or stimulate the Heart and
Kidneys. That is all wrong! A weak
Stomach, means weak Stomach nerves,
always. And this is also true of the
Heart and Kidneys. The weak nerves
are instead crying out for help. This
explains why DR.. Shops Restorative
is promptly helping Stomach, Heart and
Kidney ailments. The Restorative
reaches out for the actual cause of these
ailments-the failing ''inside nerves..
Anyway test the Restorative As hours.
It won't cure so soon as that, but you
will surely know that help is coming.

ABOUT FEEDING HORSES.

Part of a Speech of One of the South's
Greatest Experts in This Line.
The following is clipped from The
State, being part, of the speech re-
Gently made by Judge Henry Ham
mond, of Augusta and Beach Island.
Judge Hammond is recognized as an
expert on the subject of feeding
stock.
when the farmers of the South
learn to use more of their cotton
products, learn to feed their horses
and stock u ith cotton seed products,
it will mean millions of dollars to the
South, part of which every farmer
will save for himself. No report has
ever shown that injury to horse has
been as a result of feeding cotton
seed meal. Feed it every day. That
is what I do. at is not a hot or cold
climate feed. Feed not less than one
pound nor more than three, the
amount to be determined by the age,
size and work of the amin al. Not
only is it the most nutritious food but
it greatly aids the digestion and gen.
eral health and good appearance OF
the animal.
Feed cotton seed meal. with any
thing you ever heard. of a horse or
mule eating-corn, whole; or corn
cracked; ensilage, bran, etc. Don't
stick to any one food. Give a variety.
Change as the price changes. 1t is
always best to feed hard working
stock ground (not too fne) feed. Cot
ton seed meal is fed to best advantage
when thoroughly mixed with the
other portion of the grain part of the
ration.
If you know what number of pounds
of grain will maintain your animal,
reduce this two pounds for every
pound of meal you feed him. To
illustrate this, if you have been feed
ing him fourteen pounds of corn, give
him now only ten pounds of corn and
two pounds of cotton seed meal. He
will soon improve and do better work
than ever before"

Washington, March 29.-(special.)- y
France mas given the world many valu-
able lessons in forestry. One of the most
interesting articles in recent consular re-
ports is the description of the reclamation
of sand dunes and marshes by the depart
ment of the landes in the south of France
and the high returns from the cultivation
of pine there.
Comprising about 100000 acres of what
were barren sand dunes prior to 1903, this
area has been reclaimed by forest plant
ing until it has become one of the most
productive and healthful regions of the
republic. The underground drainage of
the country has been changed by the roots
of the trees penetrating the layer of clay
which underlies the sand.
In addition to supplying timber this area
supports a number of industries depend

ALDRICH BILL Is
In HOUSE TODAY
CONGRESSIONAL INTEREST FOR
THE WEEK CENTERS IN THIS
MEASURE-THE SENATE HAS
SEVERAL IDLE DAYS.


Washington, March 29.-Interest in
the doirigs of Congress this week will
be conferred in the progress of the
Aldrich currency bill which passed the
Senate on Friday and goes to the
House on Monday. While 1t will be
sent over to the House with the be-
ginning of the week. the decision to
refer the measure to the committee on
tanking and currency will have the eff
feet of preparing the crisis which tho
bill must sooner of later encounter iii
the House. It's friends, however, arc
very sanguine that it will meet tho
same success that came to 1t in the
Senate.
The Senate came near voting itsels
out of business when it passed the
Aldrich currency bill and with that
measure disposed of for the time being
finds itself almost without material to
work on. There are a number of re-
ported bills on the calendar, but none
of them are of great Importance. The
Senate is never at loss, however, to
find subject for discussion and the
apprehension of a suspension of bust
ness pending the bringing out by CON-
mittees of measures now before them
is groundless.
1t is expected that before the close
of the week the Notifications, army and
pension, bills will receive committee
sanction and that one of them will pc
taken up by the Senate Thusrday or
Friday. The Warner bill for the rein
statement of the negro soldiers who
were discharged because of the Browns

cussed until later in the session
