Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
THE FIRST NECESSITY is TO
KEEP THE BOWELS GENTLY
OPEN WITH A MILD
LAXATIVE TONIC.

Healthy old age is absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition OF the
bowels that great care should be
taken to see that they act regularly.
The fact is that as age advances the
stomach muscles become weak and
inactive and the liver does not store
up the juices that are necessary to
prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods and by
plenty OF exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing Is certain, that a state Of con-
stipation should always be avoided
as 1T is dangerous to life and health.
The best plan Is to take mill laxa-
tive as often as is deemed necessary.
But with equal certainty it is sug-
gested that cathartics, purgatives,
physics, salts and pills be avoided, as
they do but temporary good and are
SO harsh as to be a shock to q deli
cate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands Of elderly people are fol-
lowing, is to take a gentle laxative
tonic like DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep
sin, which acts as nearly like nature
as is possible. In fact, the tendency
OF this remedy is to stregnthen the
stomach and bowel muscles and so
train them to act naturally again,
when medicines of all kinds can usu-
ally be dispensed with. This is the
opinion of many people Of different
ages, among them Mr.. o. p. Miller,
Baroda, Mich, who writes: Il am so
years old and have been constipated
for many years. Since receiving
your sample bottle / have procured
two soc. bottles and find that it is

limit the crop. Kainit. muriate, and
sulpbate of potash are commercial
materials that are commonly used
for supplying potash.
The total loss of the coil, by ero-
sion, In the cotton States is immeas-
urably great and easily takes first
rank among the serious losses on
cotton farms. 1t may be economi-
cally prevented. The organic matter
in cotton soils decays rapidly, maxi
ing 1t necessary to be very careful to
add more to take its place. The
most feasible way to keep up the
supply is to plow under the unused
parts OF the crops grown. Stable
manure Is a most excellent form of
organic matter to add to the soil
in fact 1T is the best form--but the
usual limited supply warns one not
TO depend on it as even the main ma
terial for keeping up the supply of
organic matter in the soil. 1t is a
good plan to use all the stable ma
nure you can get. Leaching is a
form Of loss easily prevented, as far
as may be, by growing crops to use
the soluble material in the soil.

Disposition OF the Cotton Seed.

1t is now time to consider the
question of fertilizers for the next
crop. In this connection the dispo-
sition of the cotton seed is import
ant. The farmer has a choice Of us
ing them directly as a fertilizer, after
crushing or rolling in acid phosphate
to prevent termination, or to sell the
seed or exchange them for cotton
seed meal.
The writer notes from recent quota
tions that the price offered is around
thirty-five cents per bushel, which
corresponds to $23.33 per ton, while
cotton seed meal is quoted about
$27 per ton. This gives a rate of
exchange Of 1,72S pounds of meal for
a ton Of seed. Experiments con-
Quoted at various experiment sta
tions show that the Inter and oil are
OF no value as sources of fertilizer,
and can only be considered for the
amount of organic matter added. On
the other hand when the Inter and
oil, which contain no appreciable
amounts Of plant food are, removed,
the entire plant food Of the seed re-
mains in the hulls and cake. The
amount Of plant food in the hulls is
comparatively low, therefore the
bulk Of the plant food is left i'm the
meal. A ton of seed when manufac-
tured give about $50 pounds of meal,
about $50 pounds Of hulls, about $50
pounds of oil, and about 40 pounds
of Inter; leaving a loss of over 100
pounds In moisture. Therefore we
can readily see that the farmer gets
many more pounds of plant food by
making this exchange or by selling
and reinvesting in fertilizer than by
using the seed as a fertilizer.
The above facts have been practi-
cally demonstrated both by the Geor-

CULEBRA SLIDES SERIOUS.
Earth and Stones Failing Faster than
Steam Shovels Can Work.

Panama, Feb. 6.-LoOse earth and
stones about the banks of the Pana-
ma Canal continue falling In the
cut at Culcaracha the movement is
almost continuous, varying from
slight tricklings to large breaks, pre-
cipitating thousands Of cubic yards

Several such slides have occurred
Since the renewal OF the movement
at Culcaracha last December steam
shovel bands have been busy at this
spot. They had just cleared the bot
tom of the canal from the debris of
the previous slide when the serious
break occurred late Saturday night
near the base of Gold HILL Approx
niatoly 100000 cubic yards OF ma
terial fell into the cut.
-. The direction of the slide crosses
at a. high angle to the axis of the
canal. AS a result the dirt fell right
across the canal prism, extending be-
yond the middle Of the line, covering
the main track for dirt trains to a
depth OF 20 feet. Other tracks on
the canal bottom at lesser depths
were covered. The seriousness of this
slide is due, not so much to the
amount of earth as to the steady oc-
currence Of the falls.

Anderson Phosphate and
Oil Company

Is making a fish, blood and bone
goods this year which is absolutely
without an equal on the market.
We bought enough fish last sum-
mer to ammoniate 10000 tons of
goods, but have decided not to manu-
facture more than $4,000 or $4,000
tons Of mixed goods this year, so that
we will put all the fish in this $4,000
or 900 tons that we intended to
put in 10000 tons. We are putting
in at least SO per cent more fish than
we expected, and making at least
30 per cent better goods than we ex-
pected. You will make bette crops
than you have ever grown.
Fish Is the best ammoniate, the
best plant food, and lasts longer as a
plant food than anything put in a
fertilizer. This is one year that a
man does not want to take any
chances on his fertilizer The crop
was short last year and a good crop
Is needed. 1t takes good fertilizer
to make good crops.
The supply of this fertilizer will be
limited-12 1000 to 1000 tons won't
go as far as 10000 tons. The man
who uses this fish goods of ours un-
der his crop this year will have ad-

vantages in crop making which a
man who does not use this fish goods
will be deprived Of.
We would like to see the home
boys get this goods. for from all we
can gather, the home boys need a
good crop this year. You will never
use a better fertilizer-you ha> I,
never used any as good.
This fertilizer, besides being heav-
lily ammoniated with fish, is also am
moniated with blood, tankage, cotton
seed meal, and suiphate of ammonia,
making fertilizer which will feed
and nourish the crop from the time
the plant sprouts in the ground, all
through cultivating season, all
through laying-by season and until
the plant is grown and matured, and
the crop is ready to be gathered.
We are putting this fish in S-5-5,
SD, 9-3-3, 1898 and 10-4-4 goods.
There is no fish in standard goods.
Fish. costs more than standard goods
sell for. But then. it pays to use the
best goods. When people enter corn
contests and cotton costests they
don't use home-lnixed goods, nor low
grade goods. They use the higher
grades because they know they can
make better crops.

gia experiment station, reported In
Bulletin 75, and by e. b. Boykin, re-
ported in Farmers Bulletin No. 2S6.
Mr. Boykin's work was done on the
farm Of John G. Fletcher at McColl,
S. c. The following comparisons
were made: Where the same quaint
ties of phosphoric acid and potash
were used, and where 40 bushels, or
1900 pounds Of cotton seed were
compared with 600 pounds of meal;
undertake. conditions, where 80 BUSH
els or 800 pounds OF cotton seed were
compared with 450 pounds of meal;
and where 20 bushels or 600 pounds
OF cotton seed were compared with
800 pounds of meal, always keeping
the formula balanced with respect to
phosphoric acid and potash. The
work was carried on for two years
and in every case the results were in
favor Of the meal.
These results would indicate that
it would be better to exchange a ton
of seed for one thousand pounds of
meal than to use seed directly as a
fertilizer. The writer does not be-
lieve this for two reasons: There Is
a certain amount Of expense incurred
by the farmer in making this ex-
change because he must haul the seed
to market and the meal back. Also,
he is entitled to reasonable price
for the Oil content of the seed How
ever, the prevailing. prices and rates
or exchange on cotton seed allow him
a handsome profit. Y. e. Keitt,

PuJo SESSION WAS SHORT.
"AIr. Rockeseiler's Condition Simply
Pitiable,", rs Chairman.

,Jekyl Island, Ca, Feb AFTER
an examination of scarcely twelve
minutes. by Samuel Untermyer. coun-
sci for the Pujo committee, William
Rockefeller, the aged Standard OIL
magnate, this afternoon showed signs
of a laryngeal spasm and indications
of an approaching nervous collapse.
AT the tnsistence of his physician, the
examination was discontinued.
Mr.. Pujo made this statement:
Mr.. Rockefeller's condition is
simply pitiable. He not only shakes
like leaf all over his body, but af-
ter the first question he began to
cough convulsively, and 1t was evil
dent that he was laboring under great
excitement and that he was on the
verge of a collapse. He had to slow
ly whisper the few words he spoke
into the ear OF the stenographer who
sat beside him. This he did with
the greatest difficulty, shaking like a
leaf all the while. Such q thing as
an examination would be impossible.
AS soon as DR.. Chappelle intervened
and requested that the hearing pro-
ceed no further on the ground stated
by him, Mr.. Untermyer and I felt
that it would he dangerous and in
human 10 go further, and there
upon ordered suspension Of the ex-
animation.
Even if Dr.. Chappelle had not in
tervened and prevented further ex-
animation | would have refused to
proceed on my own accord. Nothing
would have induced me to assume
such a responsibility in view of what
we know Of the character of the dis
ease from the committees physician,
DR.. Richardson as well as from Drs.
Lambert and Chappelle. If anything
had happened to Mr.. Rockefeller
during that spasm of coughing,
never would have forgiven myself
If we had believed his condition to
be SO manifestly critical we would
not have dreamed of making the at
