The tendency that cattle. and partic
ularly young stock, show In the matter
of gnawing old boards. eating manure
and chewing old bones is simply an in
dication that they are not getting in
their rations the bone forming elements
that they should. The so called de
PRAYED appetite is the result of natu
raj craving for these elements. Bran.
clover hay. alfalfa and oilmeal are
foods that will furnish these lacking

the same purpose.
WHAT A PERFECT STAND MEANS.
While the variety of corn grown and
fertility of soil have much to do with
determining the yield of this staple
cereal, there is little question that the
matter of stand Is more largely re-
sponsible for the poor yields that
bring the average for the whole coun-
try down to less than thirty bushels
per acre. The force of this statement
Is the more clearly seen when II Is.
realized what a full stand of corn
means. If an acre of land has an
average stand of three stalks per bill
and the hills are three feet six inches
apart each way, there will be ap-
proximately 1866 stalks on the tract
This result is got by dividing 1850,
the number of square feet In each
acre, by 4.0S square feet. the space oc-
cupied by each stalk of corn. If these
1866 stalks each produce one ear Of
corn weighing a pound, II means that
such an acre would yield not bumper
yield of sixty. seventy or eighty bush
els per acre. but 132 bushels, or over
four times the average corn yield Of
the country. While such a yield Is In
a sense ideal and presupposes good
seed, rich soil and the best Of care
and tillage while the crop is growing.
the truth of the matter is II ought TO
be approached In actual corn culture
by tens of thousands more corn belt
farmers. The truth contained in the
figures presented Is at least worth

TUNNEL THROUGH
MISSION RIDGE RIDGE
Believed the Work Will Be
Finished by Christmas.
Chattanooga Benefits

Chattanooga, Tenn. November 12.-(Spe-
cial.) THAT the tunnel through historic
Mission Ridge will be finished by Christ
mas is the latest prediction of the con-
tractors who have the work in charge.
Daylight is already well through, and
the work that remains now consists OF
the erection of the walls, roof and sup
ports The tunnel was begun by the
county three years ago and has been
repeatedly sub-let by various contrac-
tors No end of litigation has followed
the job It Will cost when finished at
least $4,000
At present all traffic into Chattanooga
from East Tennessee must cross Mission
Ridge which is very steep and in places
almost impossible. The ridge has served
to great extent to prohibit truck
farmers from bringing their products into
Chattanooga as a market. 1t is thought
that the completion of the tunnel will
greatly improve property values just be-
yond the ridge. At present the only
opening is the tunnel of the Southern
railway.

stipation.
Now I wish to say that Peruna will reg

complexion simply because II takes away
the offending poisonous materials which
cause pimples, blotehes, spots on the skin,
roughness of the skin. warts, moles and

hesitation in saying to the public that
Peruna taken according TO directions on

ing the compilations of our young ladies
than all the applications that can be
made to the skin. All the facial massage
and treatments that have ever been in
vented never will do these cases so much
good as Peruna. except some other med
icine which is made on similar lines.
do not claim that Peruna Is the only
medicine that will prevent absorption of
poisons from the bowels. But 1 do claim
that it Is one of the medicines that will
do this-a reliable one-an old and trusted
one-one that has stood the test OF years
-one that Is lauded by thousands of peo-
pie who have tried 1t.
So then, young ladies, If you want clear
skins. free from pimples. take Peruna.

OF course 1 will be suspected Of wish

Let me tell you why.
The bowels when they are healthy con-
tain no poisonous material. Long before
the pofsons can generate the contents OF
the bowels are discharged, provided they
are in ordinary activity But constipa-

bowels and retain them SO long that they
decompose and furnish poisonous gas and
fluids. These polsons are absorbed by
the blood vessels In the bowels and taken
into the system The result is pimples
