Mems Christian Association, is at thi;
time proposing new feature of the

provisions and living the outdoor life

not been definitely settled, but DeaC

and may be selected. The cost would

instructor
Prof Moore is in Atlanta now in the
interest of the Riverside Summer Nav
al Academy, which opens on June 20,
and from ATLANTA he will begin tour

the same interest.
Prof. Moore was one of the import
ant factors in the early success and
phenomenal growth of the institution.
As principal when the school was first
organized, the immediate direction of
affairs deyolyed upon him.
For the past year Prof Moore has
been engaged in business in Florida,
but the academy now having passed
back into the hands Of d.. H. Pearce.
under whose direction it was first or
gained, the return of Prof. Moore is a
natural consequence.

wife and myself have cause to be-
lieve it the greatest ofall blood pur-
ifers. at ons time had an old sore
on my nose which caused me a. great
deal Of uneasiness, being afraid it
was malignant. My wife also had
an ugly old ulcer on her face
which gave her considerable worry.
We knew of no cause for these old
sores 30 concluded they were due to
bad blood. We both used s. s. s. and
it cured US sound and well. This
was some years ago but neither of US
have ever had any signs of return
of the sore. I cheerfully recommend

NO young woman, In the Joy OF
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend

makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all it's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for natures supreme
function. No better advice could be
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend; it is

SEVEN-DAY OFFICIAL AND COM.
MERciAL BUTTER TEST.

The Iowa State Dairy Association
has taken the iniative In inaugural
ing a seven-day butter test on al
economical and commercial basis
This test will be held in conjunction
with the Thirty-Ffth Annual Conven
ton and Dairy Cattle Congress to b.
held at Waterloo, October Ola. I
will be strictly official and in orde,
to secure the absolute confidence o
the breeders Professor NJ. Mortensel
of the Iowa State College has beer
secured to give it his direct supervd
sion. It will be the first contest o.
its kind ever held at a fair or show
The State fairs and district fairs
have conducted such test two OF
three days in length, but seven
day test has never been attempted.
AS an incentive to draw a large
number OF contestants $4,000 has
been offered in prizes for this de-
partment alone. When its is con-
sidered that $4,000 is the maximum
amount offered for the two-day test
at the State fairs, it seems that this
feature OF the show should be a
drawing card.
Every effort has been put forth to
give all competing animals an equal
chance. There will be three divi-
sions. namely; cows five years old
and over, cows three years old and
over, cows three years old and under
three. The awards of the first divi-
sion will be $4,000, $500. $4,000,
$25 90 and $500; those of the
second division, $4,000, $4,000, $4,000.
$4,000 and $1,000, while the two
year old class will receive $4,000, $40.
$751; $1,000 and $500 In addition
to this division, handicaps will be
given to all cows in milk over for
ty days. These handicaps have
been carefully worked out on ten
day basis and will give every COW
entered in2the contest an equal
chance. 90,
A special model dairy barn will be
fitted up for housing the COWS IN
this test. 1t will be ready for occu-
pancy several days before the test
which begins on Friday, October 6
This will give those who wish to al
low their cows to become accustom-
ed to the conditions before entering
the test a good opportunity The
latest equipment, such as stanchions,
stalls, ETC., will be placed in the
barn, thus making it sanitary and
comfortable for the animals during
their great race for production. II
will be open to the public only at
specified hours each day, at which
time demonstrated lectures in the
testing of milk and the feeding OF
dairy cattle will be given.

gard to this contest address Hugh &.
