WHY BOTHER WITH BITTER DRUGS
The Old Fashioned Idea That Medicine Must Be Bitter
 Has Passed Away.

If you have taken much medicine in your life you will aplTeciate the wonder 1ul difference when you taste Dr. Kings Royal Geilnetuer. It is as pleasant to take as lemonade. It is q most efficient Geiinicide and eTiminant.
 When lr. C. R. King made q discovery bE which he Was enabled t1 employ new Ingredients iii the production of one of the greatest germirides ever discovered, he dc. tlded that this new remedy should be as pleasant to take as it was efficient.
 l'r. Kings Royal Germetuer is particu. lary efficient with all those diseases which find their origin in faulty secretion of the internal glands. Internal secretiens, or the substances Elanufac- tured by the glands of the body, play q large part in the economy of life, for 1t is upon their secreting properly that nature is able to properly control and build up the human body. The body is composed of minute pieces of ,aacEnery. all controlled by one head ori crrrert, the nervous sEs- tenn. and may be lkencd unto. q big manu- facturing plant, where everybody is work ing toward q comGon end.
 pr. Kings Royal Germetuer brings about the most marvellous cures as with dyspepsia biliousness, torpid liver, mal.' ria indigestion and all kindred troubles.
 Physicians do not hesitate to advise it's use, fer they know it's valuable quality.
 Almost all druggists sell Dr. Kings Royal Germetuer, or it will be sent ey' press prcpaid, dn receipt of $1 by Ellis Tillybeck Drug Co.,, proprietors, Memphis, Tenn. adv.

Overnight Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and

II is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen.
eral, and so we have whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion, for they are closely allied But
common as constipation Is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
it. They will complain Of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should have full and free
movement at least once day. If you
pass day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any inconvenience
Legions of people use 1t regularly In
such emergencies, some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.

risburg, Pa, says: "Dr. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant
relief from stomach and bowel trou-

There are many reasons why farm
ers should keep more sheep. writes
Prof. Thomas Shaw In The Home
stead. The relatively small number
that is kept on the average farm is
one Of the remarkable things about
the live stock industry in the United
States. The totals OF this class OF
stock are not much more than they
were 30 years ago. This is all the
more remarkable In view of the ire
mendous expansion that has been go
Ing on In almost every line. Of agri-
culture.
Sheep should be kept on the average
farm. to aid in keeping down weed
life. When weeds are young and
sappy the sheep are in sense insati-
able devourers Of the same. There are
but few kinds of weeds that they
will not trim down and consume and
turn into good mutton If they have
access to the same at comparatively
early stage in the growth Of the
weeds. When other pasture Is not
overabundant this cropping down of
weeds will be more complete than
under other conditions. They will
even keep down, at least in consid-
cradle degree, the growth of Canada
thistles when thus managed. They
are equally ravenous also for the
seeds Of the weeds. When these have
been formed and even when mature,
and when weed seeds have been de-
voured by them, they are so finely
ground that they do not grow again
when dropped upon the ground. l
have watched sheep when first turned
into a grain pasture to see what was
their first choice. When such weeds
as lambsquarter were present and
quite young and succulent, they
would take these first in preference to
the grain.
They should be kept to consume the
waste products. On every farm these
abound more or less. They abound
not only In the form of weeds, but in
the form of grasses of various kinds.
These are found numerously In the
McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1913-05-09

grain fields after the grain has been
reaped. They are found In the high
ways. beside the farms, and they are
found along fence borders whatsoever
may be the build of these. The sheep
that are given access to these will
virtually clean up everything and in
good form. The food thus eaten
would otherwise be wasted. at least
1t would in large measure.
They should be kept to supply meat
for the household The farmer 10
much prone to conflne his meat diet
to salt pork. and largely for the rea-
son that in this form meat 10 most
easily kept. Where sheep are kept
upon the farm the farmer may have
fresh meat and of delicious char
acter by. killing and dressing occa-
sionally a mutton from his flock.
With good place to keep such meat,
as an apartment in an ice house. he
may enjoy such meat in warm
weather. But even in the absence Of
such place he may partake of such
food during much of the year-that
is. during all portions Of the same
when the weather is cool enough to
enable him to keep such meat In q
good condition. In this way much Of
the meat may be grown to meet the
needs of the farm from products that
would otherwise be wasted.
Sheep ought to be kept because a
the influence which they exert upon
fertility. No class Of animals kept
upon the farm will equal them In the
favorable influences thus exerted.
This arises first, from the readily
available condition in which the drop
pings reach the soil; second. from the
scattered condition in which they
reach the land. and. third, from the
general distribution of the dropping
over the land In this way sheep
leave the land richer In available fer
tility when they Craze upon 1t than
it was when the grazing began. Thus
it is that the proverb has arisen that
the sheep has golden hoof. And 1t Is
founded on the truth

AWFUL ECZEMA ON FACE

Freeland, Md.-'Baby's eczema
started In little spots and would burst
and run all over his face and wher-
ever the water would touch his face,
It would make another sore. Pimples
would break out and make his face
sore and infiamed, and he was very
cross and fretful. It was awful. He
suffered tortures from It. and we had
to tie mittens on his hands to keep
him from scratching. A friend Of mine
told me of the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and I went to a drug store and
bought them.
when we would battle his face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
'cura Ointment; he would be much bet
ter. He would wake up in the nights
and cry with his face and we would
put ON some Of the Cuticura Ointment
and then he would rest all night. They
have cured him completely Of the
eczema" (Signed) Mrs. Harry Wright

The United Shoe Machinery Com.
pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation Of shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number Of shoes he makes-an
average Of less than 22-3 cents pair
and let us keep them up to date.
That is fair arrangement. Some Of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
lows stand with us because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
II 1t were not for our methods Of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
