SACK 70 THE FARMERS

a. Z,
While many Of the farmers of. the
,tate did not leave their fields to cast
heir ballots yesterday, many OF them
will turn an attentive ear and an in
'kerested eye to the one hundred or
more short courses that will be given
ID Iowa this winter. Some forty peo-
Die will be kept busy taking the state
agricultural college to the people.
aTbe short term course" writes an
exchange. "seems capable OF different
explanations, for we hear of new two
aay short course. OF course, fifteen
minute course is better than no course
1t all. But 1t Is deemed quite likely
mat instead Of demand for two day
courses. there will be noted demand
Tor longer and ever longer courses,
than have heretofore been given. Ulti-
mately. the work done by the college
In taking the college to the peoples
Is going to make itself felt at the uni
yersity and the work of taking that
Institution to the people will be taken
M and carried on in an entirely differ
ent spirit from the very feeble at
kempts that have been made"

Humorous Comment
The Voice Of His Master.

A man down in North Carolina
lived with his wife for seven years,
and during that time he came to have
a very healthy regard for her physi-
cal superiority After meekly sub
hitting to all the kicking and cuff
fing that he could stand he left home
and took up mis- residence at the
home of a farmer about seven miles
distant. ... ..
One day, he was working IN the
field, when his employer brought him
the message that some one wanted
to speak with him over the telephone,
presumably his wife. He didn't dis
obey the authority of the woman
even at a distance, and he hurried
to answer the call.
He had had no experience with the
telephone and 1t was with a little
wonder and hesitation that he picked
up the receiver. About that time
lightning struck the line, and the
shock threw him to the floor.
Rising from the floor with a look
of .amazement, and with q dubious
look at the instrument, he said soft

Pimples, blotches, skin erup-
lions of all kinds, are simply the
impurities in the blood coming
to the surface. All the external
treatment in the world won't do
a particle Of good unless you
purify the blood. And there's
nothing so humiliating as a face
that's all "broken out" and
spotted.
Stuart's Calcium Waters will
clear the most obstinate complex
ion, because they go right into
the blood and remove the cause OF
the trouble. The blood is cleans.
ed of all impurities and foreign
substances and these are quickly
eliminated from the system
You'll notice a wonderful change
in a few days-you will hardly
know yourself in a week.
And Stuart's Calcium Waters
are absolutely harmless to any
one. Their ingredients are just
what a physician prescribes in
most cases of skin eruptions and
poor blood. These waters are
put up in concentrated form
which makes them act quickly
and thoroughly.
Begin taking Stuart's Calcium
Waters today and then look a
yourself in the mirror in a few
days, and find all those awful
pimples, blackheads, acne, boils
liver spots, rash, eczema and tina
muddy complexion rapidly disap
pearing and your face cleared Xix,
the petal of flower.
You can easily test Stuart
Calcium Waters for yourself. You
can get the regular-sized packag'
for soc in any drug store.
