DYSPEPSIA

Nine times in ten stomach derange- ments are responsible for sallow com plexion dull eyes, thin body. and color less cheeks.
 It is the stomach that supplies nour- ishing blood to the muscles, the nerves and skin. If the stomach is healthy, plenty of nutritious matter will be ab- sorbed by the blood. If 1t Is not healthy, the food will ferment. and undigested, the food will pass along through the bowels furnishing so little nutritious matter that the blood becomes impover- ished. and the glow of health vanishcs

Your Attention, Farmers !


Did you raise colt this year?
If you did, be sure while wean-
ing it, and during the first winter,
to give it good shelter and ample
feed. The stunted colt never fully
regains the loss, and colts are
stunted by neglect during the first
two years. If you did not raise a
colt, and most farmer readers are
in that class, why not? You could
grow a good mule, worth $500. for
$25 or $50, a profit of $50 at
least. This is six per cent inter-
est on $500, or you are losing
the interest on 50, 500 by your fail
ure to grow mule colt. Any mule
colt at weaving time is worth 500
or SIS. This Is the easiest value
of bale of cotton you ever made.
Don't say this does not concord
you. 1t affects all the South to
spend millions each year for live
stock that could be grown on our
waste land. Every farmer should
grow at least colts enough to sup
ply his farm with work stock. Il
is highly profitable. 1t is good
farming. Consider this carefully
and see if 1910 cannot find you
doing your share in helping te
save the constant drain caused BY
buying stock each year to farm
our lands.-Memphis Commercial
Appeal.
