COUNTRY VS.. CITY BOY.

The farmer boy is made the object
of a great deal OF cheap sentiment now
adays. Every farm paper and "A great
many papers whose editors are inter
ested in farming the farmers, but not
especially concerned about them other
wise, grind out columns of stun set
ting forth how much better the farm
is than the city and how much better
the country bred boy is than the city
bred one. Mr.. Farm Boy, don't you
believe such sentiment for q moment.
Taken by and large the country. is
the best place for n boy or anyone
else, but there are good boys reared
in town-just as good came out OF
Nazareth-and there are some mighty
poor kind of boys reared in the coun-
try. Where a boy is reared is not
as important as how he is reared and
whether there vas the proper stuff in
him at the outset. Just because Abe
Lincoln and good many of our other
big men, politically and in a business
way, came from the farm, is no as
surance that you will have the bulge
on the city boy. Histories do not re-
cord the travails of the millions of
farmer boys who have not become
great-many of whom have been dis
NAL failures-and it will have nothing
to say of you unless you can demon
strate that you have more to back
you up than a well selected birth
place. Merit is what counts. and II
you can show evidences of it in this
good, old, practical world of ours has
a good place reserved for you whether
you hail from Podunk corners or a
metropolis.-Yankton Herald.

over two thousand formulas were
turned over to this company. Each
formula being selected because Of its
tested and proved value and establish

physicians.
A research committee of expert
chemists and physicians made a most
thorough and exhaustive test of each

three hundred as being the very best

Mr.. c. d. Kendall, who is we'll known
and highly respected for his integrity,
is connected with this enterprise and
is stalking his w personal reputation

should be encouraged.
