The new Root Juice treatment pro-
notes fine appetite makes diges-

The genuine Root Juice can be sup

limitations upon which they make /.
more profit.

Receives Many Replies

Little Rock, July 22.-Deputy Commissioner Hutchins is re. ceiving many replies from far mers all over the state for "per- sonal experiences" in farming to be incorporated in the forth. coming biennial report of the Agricultural Department.
 0. P. Nixon, of Clinton, up in the Ozark foot hills, 1906 feet above sea-level, writes that he raises 50 bushels of corn and ten bushels of peas to the acre on high land which many suppose to lack fertility. He has also raised two crops of potatoes the same season, the first 500 bushels to the acre, selling at 60 cents a bushel, the second 200 bushels to the acre, selling at one dollar per bushel, at a total expense of $50. This shows a profit of $500 per acre on land valued at only S3C an acre.

Willie Hoppe. the billiard player
was discussing in New York the cues.

"I like summer vacations" he said
in the heart of the country. The

chaps, summering at Sunapee, who
complained that they couldn't tell the
two white balls apart, as neither oi
them had a spot. But the proprietor
explained to them that 1t would be
easy, after a little practice, to dis
tinguish the balls by their shape.

Man of Necessity ls Made Of Right

Some people are thrown on their
balance the moment anything goes

spite OF annoyance.
Anybody can work when everything

can rise above the things which an
noy, harass and handicap the weak
and do his work in spite of them. In
deed, this Is the test OF greatness.
As q matter of fact, the greatest
achievements IN all time have been &C
complished by men and women who
have been handicapped. annoyed, per
secuted, misunderstood, criticised. But
they have been great enough to rise
above all these things and to do their
work in spite of them.

PrscautIon Rarely Taken.

A German medical journal draws at
tentlon to possible factor in the
spread of infectious conditions of the
mouth, nose, and pharynx that is not
sufficiently recognized IN many house
holds. 1t points out that common table
utensils, such as forks spoons and
glasses, which come into contact with
the mouth, are usually washed alto
gether often with little care, and
dri N the same cloth. This gives
gre. opportunity for the distribution
of infective agencies. For this reason
particular care should be exercised in
families where any member may be
suffering from an infectious disease to
sterilize the table utensils used In
boiling water. People who complain OF
catching cold" in many instances are
merely catching infection from little
understood and preventshle sources.
