DR.. Henry Bates, president of the

ITO kill a mans mind while his

The victim of the drug continues to

immoral, depraved and criminal, and
beyond the power of man to estimate

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Superiority of Liaht Diet.

The superiority of the mono
diet. with slight variation, has
been demonstrated. and those
who advocate indiscriminate va
riety must give some reason. A
friend commented on the great
ly improved appearance of a
Chicago business man. aged if
ty-six. What do you think I'm
eating?" he replied. "Cornmeal
mush and milk morning and
evening. And, eating only one
thing at time. am not SO apt
to overeat." Under perfectly nat
ural conditions appetite would
be a safe guide, but our living
is now extremely complex and
in nothing more than eating. If
it is true that excessive variety
is the chief physical cause Of
cancer we need to consider our
eating habits.

Shift. Jake Green was called down
into the Fork of the Rivers Monday
afternoon to arrange for holding an
inquest over negro, who died Sun
day from knife wounds inflicted at
the hands of some unknown darkey.
The wounded negro had his bowels
literally ripped out of the body. The
crime occurred at Bob McKay's tie
camp while he was absent. Justice
E. E. Todd presided over the inquest
but nothing could be developed as to
the identity OF the murderer.

out of anything by such a course.
Christmas comes this year on We'd

we shall suspend for or skip will be
Friday Dec, q. That is there will
be no issue printed and dated for
that week. We shall close up shop
after putting forth in the mails the
issue dated Dec. 20 and remain closed
till the New year, resumlng issuance

Rreed Your Own Seed Corn.

- URING the last three years the Kansas Ag-
\ ricu1turaI College, in cooperation with
~ farmers in that State have made variety
..s,e of corn for the purpose of comparing home
S-own or local seed with seed furnished by the
college.
s.rmers by the college and these were tested
D.h the homegrown or local seed. In nearly
arv case the local varieties made the best yields
and the more unfavorable the conditions were
sr corn growing the greater the difference in
favor of the local seed.
II was also found that homegrown seed, for
ovamn1e Kansas Sunflower, yielded two and
bo,f bushels more than the same variety when
tbe seed was furnished by the college. This re-
sult was quite general reports from different
nars of the State showing that the local varieties
Of homegrown seed out yielded strains of the
same varieties when seed were obtained from
other sections The average of all the tests
showed the local seed out yielded that brought
from other sections by about seven bushels per
acre.
This does not mean that every farmer should
continue planting the seed he has been using, but
It does mean that he should try out three or four
of the leading varieties of his section for about
three years, and then select the best one and
continue its growth and improvement by seed
selection While he is finding out the best vari-
ETY. for his use he had better plant the main crop
with seed of some good local variety grown on
his own or nearby farms. These facts make it
all the important that the corn grower select
good variety of seed corn, for he cannot afford
to change often. Buy. this year, seed of the best
varieties and test them out When this has
been done, then continue the growth of the best
variety and select seed carefully from the patch
grown for that purpose every year.
If it becomes necessary to purchase seed corn
for planting the entire crop get it as near home
as the variety wanted can be obtained

STOMACH UPSET?
SOUR? ''CASCARETS'

while you sleep.

That awful sourness, belching
of acid and foul gases; that pain
In the stomach, the heartburn,
nervousness, nausea, bloating af-
ter eating, feeling of fullness, dir
illness and sick headache, means a
disordered stomach, which cannot
be regulated until you have re-
moved the cause. 1t isn't your
stomach's fault. Your stomach is
as good as any.
Try Cascarets; they immediate
ly cleanse and regulate the stom-
ach, remove the sour, undigested
and fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry off the consti-
pated waste matter and poison
from the intestines and bowels.
Then your stomach trouble is
ended. A Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning
10-cent box from any drug
store will keep your stomach
sweet; liver and bowels regular
for months. Don't forget the
children--their little insides need
good, gentle cleansing, too.
