length. There was a great stir of en-.
thusiasm when Professor J. F. War
rem, Of Cornell University said, ''The
farm labor problem is no problem. y
Many farmers contradicted this at
first, but when it was fully explained,
all was quiet and the farmers saw
where they were wrong.
Every upper classman of the COL
lege of Agriculture took it upon HIM
self to answer questions, direct, and
entertain the guests. He did this by
pinning yellow ribbon on his coat,
with letters inscribed upon it, "Ask
Mel"
At the close of the last day the
bugle was sounded and a great BAN
quet was held in the University din
ing club. After partaking of the de-
licious meat furnished by the champ
ion steer Desserter, and the products
furnished by the greatest cow in the
world, toasts were responded to by
such distinguished gentlemen as Gov.
Hadley, Senator Dunwoody, Major
Crowell and President A. Ross Hill.
Everybody seemed to be exceedingly
well pleased and with a smiling coun-
tenance bid us all farewell until next
year. LLOYD B. BURK.

This day, January 10, 1911, ends

mers Week" ever held in this Uni.
versity in this state, and in fact the
whole United States.
Over 1900 of our farmer friends
visited the University and College OF
Agriculture during this great week.
They listened with great interest to
the lecturers on breeding, feeding,
and judging live stock; the growing
of various crops, and how to increase
the yield of corn, oats and wheat.
The poultry and dairy husbandry
were placed in their true light. Sta
tistics show the Missouri hen" yields
a greater income to the state than any
other line of farming, and yet she
gets the least credit of all.
The corn, apple and poultry exhibits
were the most magnificent ever held
at any previous Farmers Week."
Every guest made a trip to the farm
to see Chief Josephine and the prize
winning herd Of fat steers. The
Veterinary department showed the
gentlemen by actual demonstration
how to keep their hogs from dying
from hog cholera, and why the dairy
cows should be tested for tuberculo-

Prove it,

After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of Butler
given below, you must come to this
conclusion: A remedy which cured
years ago, which has kept the kidneys
in good health since, can be relied up
on to perform the same work in other
cases. Read this:
Mrs. A. E. Debow, West Pine St.,
Butler, NO., says: II have had great
confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills
ever since used them. My husband
procured this remedy for me atFrank
Clay's Drug Store and it promptly re-
lieved me of pains in my back, hips,
and weakness of my kidneys.
The above statement was, given in
March, 1908, and was confirmed by
Mrs. Debow on Nov. 80, 1908, as fol-
lows: II still think as highly Of
Doan's Kidney Pills as l did two years
ago, when they brought me such
great relief. / use a box Of this
remedy every spring and fall and in
that way keep my kidneys in a normal
condition.

EXHAUSTED NERVES
Must Be Nourished Through
The Blood.
1t Is the Only Way in Which
Starved Nerves Can Be Fed
And Is Usually Successful
From the Start.

Nervous debility is the forerunner of
nervous breakdown, perhaps the
warning sign OF paralysis.
The first thing to do in nervous de-
bility is 10 stop the cause of the trouble,
il possible, whether it is irregular liv-
ing, worry, or whatever it may be.
Then the nerves must be given special
nourishment and the blood must be
kept pure and rich. This is the mis-
sion OF DR. Williams Pink Pills and this
is why the pills have been used with such
great success in nervous troubles that
did not yield TO ordinary methods Of
treatment.
"About six years ago" says Mr. j.
w. Landon, of No. 307 Lowell street,
Charleston, w. Va, al suffered from
complete nervous breakdown. | be-
came so extremely nervous that there
was constant trembling or twitching
OF the muscles of my body. | had no
appetite, could not get a good night
rest, was melancholy and worried about
my condition all OF the time. ! was
thin and pale and my blood was poor.
Occasionally there would come over
me numb, prickling sensation. My
health became so poor that | had to
give up my work.
81 was treated by physicians and
specialists in nervous diseases but they
did not help me. A druggist in Balti-
more told me to try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and followed his advice. In
few days felt some benefit, my appe-
tite improved and | gained in strength.
l continued to improve until | was
cured and have no hesitation in recom-
mending DR.. Williams Pink Pills ior
nervous troubles"
A booklet, Nervous Disorders" will
he sent free upon request to anyone in-
terested in the remedy that cured Mr..
Landon. Write for copy today.
There is absolutely no way OF reach
ing the nerves with medicine except
through the blood. The nerves receive
all OF their nourishment and support
from the blood which, under healthful
conditions, carries the elements needed
TO rebuild wasted nerve tissue.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 90 cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50 by the DR.. Williams

: oArARnn OF rHE STOMACH
\ Pleasant, simple, But Safe and
EfYectual Cure For It.

Catarrh Of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
fun or bloating sensation after eat
ing. accompanied sometimes with
sour or w9tery risngs, a formation of
gases. causing pressure on the heart
and lungs and dinicult breathing
headaches, hcllle appetite. nervous
ness and general played out languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth. coated tongue and II the in-
terror of the stomach could be seen
it would show Shiny, inhamed con-
dtion
The cure for this common and OBJ
stnate trouble IS, found in q treat
ment which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before It
has time TO ferment and irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces Of the sto-
mach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestion Is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal diges-
tion is secured the catarrhal condi-
tions will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet composed of Dias-
tase. Aseptic Pepsin a little NuN,
Golden seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets and Lot being a pat
ent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and a thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after
meals.
The plan Of dieting is simply an
other name for starvation, and the
use of prepared foods and new fangl-
ed breakfast foods simply makes mat
ters worse as any dyspeptic who has
tried them knows.
AS Or. Bennett says. the only reas-
on | can imagine why Suart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are not universally
used by everybody who IS troubled
I'm any way with poor digestion is
because many people seem to think
that because medicine Is advertised
or Is sold in drug stores or is pro-
tected 10y a trade mark II must be a

that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have
