gress Is revealed in the fact just dis
covered that two supposed officials OF
the department or agriculture who
have been giving expert advice on
rural credits legislation are really In
the pay OF the Rockefeller foundation
and not OF the government.
DR.. Thomas Nixon Carver is nom
inally chief OF the rural organization
service" which has lately taken up
the problem OF methods OF marketing
farm produce. Dr. Carver was for
merly professor OF political economy
at Harvard, an institution noted as
being thoroughly safe and sane"
The first man summoned before the
house subcommittee on rural credits
was DR.. Carver who is described in
the record of the official hearings
not as a representative OF the Rookie
Teller foundation. but as an official Of
the department OF agriculture at the
head o. the rural organization ser

HRS assistant, w. Thompson, formerly
of the University OF Minnesota, gave
expert advice 10 the committee In
charge OF the rural credits bill Mr..
Thompson is also in the pay OF the
Rockefeller foundation. IL is further
charged that Sears. Roebuck & Co.
and the International Harvester com.
pany are very heavy contributors TO
the Rockefeller foundation. which is
Isuhsidizing these government depart
ments

Eats Freely But
Has No Dyspepsia
A Little PepSiR in a Mild Laxative
Promptly Corrected a Bad
INDIGESTION.

Fortunate is the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the
tortures of dyspepsia. but as few are
so fortunate, care should be taken
in the matter OF diet. Eating slow
ly, masticating the food thoroughly
and taing snort walk after the
heavy meal of the day will do much
towards assisting digestion. Any
grown-up person ought to know the
peculiar foods that do not agree,
and these should be avoided.
When these common-sense aids
fail, the next thing to do is to take
a mild digestive tonic with laxative
properties, and there is none better
than DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t
contains the greatest of all aids to
digestion, good pepsin. 1t has other
ingredients that act mildly on the
bowels, which together form COM
bination for the relief of dyspepsia
or Indigestion that is unsurpassed.
Its action is to tone and strength
en- the stomach and bowel muscles
so that they can again do their work
naturally without outside aid, and
when that happy moment comes all
medicine can be dispensed with. 1t
is the best remedy obtainable for
any disorder of the stomach, liver
and bowels, for dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, biliousness. headaches, drowsi-
ness after eating, gas on the stom-
ach, etc. Thousands of users will
testify to this, among them Mr. j W
Goucher, Sites, Idaho, who for sew

Jenkinson Bros Co.'S reduction
sale started yesterday morning.
Everything in the big store was
well and conveniently arranged.
Nearly every article of merchandise
bore a green tag on which the re-
duced price was marked. A large
number of extra clerks, young la
dies and gentlemen, were on duty as
salespeople, with pencil and paper
to keep a systematic account OF
everything sold by each. The store
was not overcrowded during the
opening day, but constant stream
of customers were noticeable going
and coming, and many of these took
advantage of the reduced prices.
