The immense distribution of THE

When the project Of distributing

Once upon a time a salesman start

country district, but after a weeks

him for an explanation, he spoke

The salesman said: Dictionaries

"CASCARETS" MAKE
YOU FEEL GREAT
Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish
bowels while you sleep.

HVntiS hhiie you citcps
Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and
foul breath-always trace them to
torpid liver, delayed fermenting food
in the bowels or sour, gassy stom-
ach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in-
testines. instead of being cast out OF
the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing. sick
ening headache
Salts, cathartic pills. oil and purga-
tive waters force a passageway for a
day or two-yes-but they don't take
the poisons out and have no effect
upon the liver or stomach
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach. remove the
sour. undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system all the constipated waste
matter and poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while YOU sleep-a 10-cent box

Much Truth About Health In Article

Cultivation of Corn.

After the growth of corn is well
started, the roots spread out often
from one row to another. Interlacing
in the middle. A plow ripping along
between the rows at a depth of from
five to six inches will cut of the
roots and very materially slacken the
growth of the plant and cut short the
yield.
The first cultivation may be fairly
deep, but after that the surface of the
soil should be stirred lightly, how
ever, in order to create a dust mulch
and maintain the moisture about the
