One Million Dollars for
a Good Stomach

This Offer Should Be Warning
To Every Man and Woman
The newspapers and medical jour
GALS have had much to say relative to
famous millionaire's offer of mil
lion dollars foi new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condition
of his stomach. He allowed his dys-
pepsia to run from badto worse until
in the end it became incurabe.
His misfortune serves as warn
ing to others.
Every one who suffers with dyspep-
STA for few years will give every
thing he owns for new stomach
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by
an abnormal state of the gastric
juices, or by lack of tone in the walls
of the stomach. The result is that the
stomach loses its power to digest
food.
We are now able to supply certain
missing elements-to help to restore
to the gastric juices their digestive
power, and to aid in making the sto-
mach strong and we'll.
w, know that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are most dependable remedy
for disordered stomachs. Indigestion
and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will!
return your money if you are not
more than satisfied with the result
Three sizes, 25 cents, SO cents and

A Porterhouae stsak.

the Same sense rs the English word.
(which meant properly roasted meat,

Tho same authority says: "a 'por-
terhousc' steak is choice cut Of steak
from tho loin, 20 named, apparently,
first In New York from n well known
porter house and eating house where
chops, steaks, etc. and porter or stout
were served. Mt which these steaks
were speciality.
"a steak grilled between two other

Tho Lotus Flower.

Poets and novelists alike have given
mythical texture and color to the lotus.
The elder Dumas spoke of a lotus flow
er pure white and with petals as deli
cate as fine muslin" Nor did the an
clients treat the matter with more
truth. Herodotus spoke OF the lotus
as OF plant which habitually de-
scended below the surface of the wa
ter at sunset to return to view only
with the temperance of the sun. Tho
lotus known to modern man goes be-
low the surface OF tho water, like oil
nymphaeas, when its beauty and its
freshness have passed and when the
time has come to ripen its seed pod.
Then by the law of life ii closes It's
corolla and goes away from the air
and the sunshine down into tho water
to prepare for the future of its family
1t goes at the time when the sun set
but 1t does not renppear. When

forever. The petals described by Du-
mas as being "as white as the snows
of Himalaya" are not pure white, nor
can anything be called with justice
"as white rs the lotus flower" be-
cause lotus flower may be red or
blue as well rs white.-Harper's.

TazewcIi Heard From

The Morristown, Tenn, Republican,
of Jan. IL. has a column of interest
ing facts on the sheep industry of
that section, in which the statement
is made that the increase in this
branch of stock farming is largely
due to the enterprise and push of a
former Tazewell citizen, MIR. d. H.
Litz, who moved to Tennessee some
years ago. An extract from the arti-
Gle follows:
Practically all the advancement
Hamblen county has made in sheep
raising is due to the persistent efforts
of d. II. Litz, who now handles the
greater portion of the sheep sold on
the local market and shipped to other
markets.
When Mr.. Litz came to Hambien
county eight years ago, there were
very few sheep in the county and
none of them were pure bred. His
first shipment carried only two hund-
red, which brought about $500.
In 1907 he imported twenty pure
bred bucks from Virginia and dstri-
buted them among the farmers who
he had induced to experiment with
pure bred sheep. In 1909 he shipped
1920 old sleep and lambs, gathered
from this and adjoining counties, and
in this shipment were included a
large number of inferior sheep the
farmers had been persuaded to sell
and replace with pure bred animals.
In 1910, the total shipments from
Morrstown amounted to something
over 500 old sheep and 1000 lambs.
BY this time the number of farmers
raising sheep had been greatly incre-
ased and those who had disposed of
their inferior breeding animals sold
only the lambs.
Last year the shipments of lambs
were larger than ever before in the
history of the industry of this couny.

along'with hand work. Our forefaths
ers put too much stress on the hand
work. Simply told in one word
Education. Is there not just as much
good common-sense in educating a
boy in the science of agriculture, or
horticulture, as there is in educating
him to become physician? The
laws of nature act pretty much the
same-the one is to be doctor of
people, the other doctor of plants,
shrubs and trees, both get sick. and
mighty sick, too, sometimes. We are
just now awakening to this great
truth. The educated agriculturist has
proved beyond question that he can
make two blades of grass grow where
there was but one, and oftentimes
not one. That one acre can be made
to produce rs, so or 100 bushels of
corn instead of % to 80. Mark Twain
said he under took to make two blades
of grass grow where there was but
one. and succeeded in making but one
grow where there were two. Mark 8
education was wrong, that's all.
Down in the clay subsoil of that
old thrown-away farm there are
tons of untouched fertilizer. God put
t there, just like he did the Clamp
oil" for mans use when he had to
have it; and he has given man the
keys to unlock to store houses and
bring up the keys hung to the root
let's of all the clovers and best of all
the alfalfa. The old "cow horn" tur-
nip has its bunch of keys; the COW
pea, the soy bean and even the ilowly
fishing worm. Have you never seen
the little wells which he bored down
and brouhtg up his little curls of
rich phosphates? Turn up an old
board that has lain long time, and
see his handiwork. The air above us
is full of fertilizers. and there has
been enough wasted about the barn
yards to paint the golden glow on
Thousands of harvests, and to make
the old poor farms blossom like the
rose.

ESTABLISHING OLD TRAILS.

ESTABLISHING OIO jhAIlS.
The current issue of the Northwest
Farmstead contains the following per-
tinent remarks:
| A writer recently lamented the fact
that the old Black Hills trail through
Stanley county, S. D., was practically
obliterated. This trail was used for
many years between Pierre and Dead
wood and with it were associated
many historical facts. So many
tourists visit European countries in
search of old ruins. but within recent
years the call has been "see America
first 1t seems to us that the state
historical! society should endeavor to
keep this trail open. The old Bis
marck trail was laid out nearly 40
years ago, even before white settlers
were permitted to locate in the
Black Hills. The county commits
sioners of the counties through which
this trail passes ore endeavoring to
permanently locate this trail and keep
it open. This may seem sentimental
at this time, but in so or 100 years
from now there should be some fea.
ture to recall to the minds of the set
tiers the hardships encountered in
pioneer days. Tie old trail over
Stanley county can now be easily
traced as we'll as the Bismarck trail,
because there are still settlers alive
who Travelled it years ago. 1t any
thing is done toward keeping it open
there is no better time than now
