How to Cure
Liver Trouble
Keep Your Bowels Regular and Your
Stomach Sweet

People sometimes imagine when they
have liver trouble or are bilious that the
main thing to do is to take physic.
Taking pills and keeping your bowels
regular are two very different matters.
The use Of q violent cathartic does not
mean the cure Of constipation or the es-
tablishment Of regular movements. A
physic Is an emergency remedy, but new
er a bowel treatment. If the bowels do
not move regularly there is reason
deeper seated than the mere clogging up
that Is removed by dose Of salts or
pills.
When that drowsy. tired feeling. with
the coated tongue, the dull head pains,
the sour stomach, the sallow complex
ion, constipated bowels and touches of
fever come on 1t Is time to take medi-
cine that will act on the bowels gently
and mildly, cleansing and strengthening
them, stir up the liver and aid the stom-
ach in digesting the food.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin does this
every time. Take a few doses and see
how quickly the drowsy feeling leaves.
regular bowel movements come back, with
a good appetite and perfect digestion,
and you soon feel like your old self. It
does not grippe nor pain, it acts smoothly.

COMFORT IN PLENTY
AT STATE FAIR
Every Convenience Will Be Provided
for Visitors Free of Charge.

A great deal of the attention of the
State Fair management has been claimed
during the last several months in MAX
ing provision for the comfort of the tens
of thousands of visitors who will throng
the grounds at Nashville during the week
of September 1925.
The plumbing and the conveniences
for both ladies and gentlemen have been
very materially improved. These changes
have included the installation of extern
sive toilet rooms in accessible locations,
rest rooms for the ladies and check
room where babies may be left in charge
Of trained nurse.
Then besides this, more than Eve hun
bred new benches have been made and
placed in shady spots all over the
grounds. OF course the emergency hos
pital viii be there, too--a place where
doctors and white-aproned nurses will
attend to all ailments-anything from
pain in the sawdust" to fractured
limb.
The branch telephone Office will be in
stalled again and stations will be placed
in every building and in every section of
the grounds. Branch telegraph stations
for both the Postal and the Western
Union will be located in the grand stand
The Nashville Fire Department will
have chemical engine and full crew
of men and horses.
The water supply will be even better
provided for than it was last year, when
the concrete fountains along the main
boulevard supplied the thousands with
ice cold water in abundance and with
out cost.
In short, while visitors are learning
facts that will mean money to them
or are INDUCING in the wholesome recrea-
ton which the fair affords, they will
at the same time be made COMFORT
ABLE.

STRAIGHT LINE TO
GREATER PROSPERITY
Tennessee State Fair Il q Regular
Short Course in Money Making.

tennessee state FAR ~ Regular
Short Course in Money Making.
When the farmers are prosperous, the
country as a whole cannot long remain
otherwise. Agriculture is recognized as
the bulwark of our national safety and
the more the man who tills the soil
knows about his business, the better will
be the financial condition Of the country.
No element has had a more decided eff
feet in the development of the cOuntry's
farming interests, and the allied interests
of stock and poultry raising and fruit
culture, than have the hundreds OF coun.
ty fairs and the twenty-odd State fairs.
The most representative exhibition
held in the South is the Tennessee State
Fair, which is held each year at Nash
vile, and which comes during the week
of September 90 to September rs this
year.
The 1909 fair will be regular revela-
ton in resources, but it will be much
more than mere exposition. In each
department there will be free demonstra-
tions and lectures, stereopticon talks,
public judging, ETC., etc, which will give
to q week spent at the fair the practical
value of short course at an agricultural
college.
Most of the professors at the Agri-
cultural College of the State University
are connected with the fair In some way
and provide for instruction along the
same lines as are employed at the Uni
versity, with the notifications neces-
sary in handling large crowds.
Already the lessons of this fair have
been worth hundreds of thousandp of
dollars to the South, and under the con-
troll of the State government, as it will
be after January 1, 1910, its influence
for good should continue to increase rap
idly year after year.
But it is not only as place to learn
how to make more money that the State
Fair benefits the people who come under
its influence. The fun side of it affords
an opportunity for wholesome amuse'
ment such as could not possibly be found
elsewhere without the spending Of q
whole lot of money.
The Fair Association will spend over
$4,000 this year in free amusement fea
lures alone. The country's leading con
cert band-Weber's Band of Cincinnati
will play twice daily out in front of the
big grand stand, where the seats are az
free At the same place six of the very
best open-air acts that money can pro
cure will do their turns for the amuse
ment of the tens of thousands whC
throng the grounds each day.
On the track blooded horses will con
test in trials of speed each afternoon
and at night that part of the track il
front of the grand stand will be con
verted into brilliant show ring, lit b!
hundreds of big arc lights. Then sfte
the horse show each evening the Amuse
ment Committee has provided for mag
nifcent displays of fireworks.
The policy of the fair is to keep tn
idea of instruction uppermost, but to 81
mix in the element of fun as to max
the week a pleasure as well as profit
able.
