If your Stomach, Heart, or Kidneys are weak, try at least a few doses only of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. In
 five or ten days only, the results will surprise you. A few cents will cover the cost. And here is why help comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn't .drug the Stomach or stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop's Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves. Each organ has its own con trolling nerve. When these nerves fail, the depending organs must of necessity falter. This plain. yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. Shoop's 8 Restorative is so universally success full. It's success is leading druggists everywhere te give 1t universal pref erence. A test will surely tell. Sold by Davis Drug Co, The Old Reliable.

MORE FAME FOR ARKANSAS
Winfield ". Dudley Writes of Recent Progress of the State in Com
 merce and Agriculture.

Arkansas, alive and progressive. has attracted the attention of the out side world and in the February num- Der of the Technical World will ap- pear an article by Winfield W. Dud- ley, setting forth the commercial ag- ricultural and social advantages of the state. Mr. Dudley made trip through the state in October and it is understood that he plans further publicity for Arkansas. MT. Dudley in way is an Arkansawyer. at one time having been managing editor of the Fort Smith News-Record.
 Within a days ride of St. Louis, New Orleans and Kansas City," writes MT. Dudley, "the principal centers of the Mississippi Valley, lies the Cinderella of the states. While her sisters have been to the ball, while the other states have been gathering in the plaudits of the world and the dollars of the young men and women marching westward, Arkansas has remained at home and unsung.
 While tending to her work at home Arkansas found pearls and dia- monds in the ashes; found that her hills in the Ozarks would raise, un- der proper care, the most royal red apples that kings have tasted; that her clay hills in the back yard could, by the alchemy of trade, be turned into pie plates, pin trays, or the al- minimum frame of an aeroplane; that her already large crops of cotton could be doubled in quality and quantity; that the erstwhile worth less gumbo land in certain districts could be made to produce year after year with increasing volume the finest grade of rice the markets has yet known"
 The article speaks of the conquer ing of the rivers, the draining of the swamps and the successful efforts of the engineers toward making new climate. The pioneer work of the early Germans led by Louis Altheim- CT is set forth. The story is told of man who made success of cattle raising in Nebraska and then trans ferred his interests to Arkansas agri- culture.
 Much of the article is devoted to the culture of rice and the food value of the cereal. The development work done by the Rock Island, Frisco and Cotton Belt is told in the story, and, concluding, Mir. Dudley says: Arkansas, once the butt of hu- morists, no longer is the buff0on state, but state where mountain mines. hillside fruit and prairie grains flourish in abundance and beauty, where health and wealth are common assets and culture rules over all."

BREED FOR MORE WEIGHT
Poultry Is Selling By the Pound ard it Don't Pay to Grow Small
 Stock.
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir: Here are few lines of good advice to the farmers: The visit of the poultry buyer here this week demonstrates the necessity for farmers having chickens of good weight. The old harsn-scaram way of buying by the dog ,n is out of date, and no longer prevails among the markets and buyers of the coun- try. Get thoroughbred poultry of one of the American or Asiatic breeds and have something that will bring in the money when the buyer mages his visits next year. Poultry will ever after be bought by the pound, and the sooner you prepare for it, the better it will be for you, My advice to pro- gressive farmers is to breed the flock up. Better get a breeding pen of thoroughbreds and begin right. After the first year every thing on the place except the better bred chickens should be discarded. They will grow larg- ler, lay more and pay better. They need more attention than the little old speckled heu, but they look better, are better, and trial will convince of this fact. The weights of mature fowls of the different breeds are as follows, and the colors of them are var jed that any taste eau be satisfied in that respect: Plymouth Rock !. .(three varieties). males weight l9H, females 715 pounds; Wyan- dottes (eig Int varieties) and Rhode Island Reds (two varieties), ], males S12, females 6H pounds; Brahmas (two yarieties). males l2, females 91z pounds; Cochins -four varieties), males II, fc- males S1z pounds; Lingshans (two varieties), males 10, fe- males ' pounds; Orpiugtons (three varieties), males 10, fe- males s pounds.
 Turkeys should also be bred up to the larger size. Many people have what they think are the real Bronze turkey, yet they never reach the weight prescribed for the breed. The White Holland turkey is sm aller bird aud is said to be much tanner in it's disposi- tion. Either of them are always marketable and should be bred on every farm. The weight of these two breeds gre as follows: Bronze, mature males 36, mature females 20 pounds; White Hol land, mature male 20, mature fe- male l6 pounds. There is on in- termedlate weight turkey in the Narragansett, black variety. which weighs as follows: Male, 30, female, Is pounds. It will be readily seen that with turkeys selling by the pound and large ones ;n demand, the farmer raising the genuine Bronze has the advantage over his neighbor with the com mon turkey or chicken.

New York. July 30.-August is

the fight for the control of the next

is now practically certain that the
campaign will be fought out on

walls of the insurgents to the gen
eral effect that that way lies ruin
and a democratic congress.
New York will serve as a clearing
house for literature-if the stuff sent
out by campaign committees may
legally be called that-and also for
spellbinders. All of the Patrick

Robert Insersolls of the country are
flocking to town in the fond hope
OF finding a market for their silver

Representative William Mckinley,

is rumored that he has already met
with much success. The New En-

come across handsomely, and the
New York representatives of the in
terests have not Jagged behind In
the democratic camp, however, there
is something resembling weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth and
the campaign managers are not view
