Indigestion May Be

tiOns May Seriously I'm
pair the Health.

There are many people who believe
they suffer from indigestion when
their discomfort really is due to a
constipated condition. Bloat, with its
attendant mental depression, sick
headache, the belching of sour stom-
ach gases, etc, are frequently due to
inaction of the bowels. Relieve the
congestion and the trouble usually dis
appears The use of cathartics and
purgatives should be avoided, howev-
er; these shock the system unneces-
sarily and, at best, their effect is but
temporary. A mild laxative is far
preferable.
The compound of simple laxative
herbs known as DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin and sold in drug stores for
fifty cents a bottle, is highly recon-
mended. Mr.. Benz. Bassin, $50 Mad

A. & M. BULLETINS AID
TO FARMERS IN STATE

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct 30-A
monthly bulletin of the extension di-
vision of the Oklahoma Agricultural
& Mechanical College cooperating
with the United States department of
agriculture is the latest departure of
educational literature from the office
of w. d. Bentley director of extern
sion.
This bulletin is sent out by the
state department of agriculture. 1t is
displayed also for poster service and
is posted in conspicuous places. The
bulletin is made up of timely topics.
The October number contains short
paragraphs on sheep, fleas, bees, APP
pies, capons, wheat, feeding values of
grains and cotton, The items on cot
ton are important just now owing to
the marketing season being on. They
are as follows:
"The approximate value of the Ok
lahoma cotton crop last year was $G6.-
10000, which is greater than the to-
tai value of corn, wheat and oats COM
bined. It's total value this year will
probably be much less on account of
a greatly reduced acreage planted.
However, a reduced acreage some
times means a better price and great
er profits for the farmer
"lf you have good clean cotton, gin
it and sell in the bale. If it is dirty
low-linting stuff, sell it In the seed.
"If your lint is clean, white and
strong, and an inch or over in length,
hold out for a good price. If it is
short, dirty and stained, and breaks
easily, don't haggle about the price,
because it is poor property at best.
"If your cotton lints our SO per cent
or over and you have been careful not
to let mix in ginning hold your seed
for planting purposes. Such seed is
cheap at a dollar per bushel for plant

you sell it for less before next June.
Select your cotton seed for next
years planting now from the best
stalks and have it ginned separately |

Don't rush your cotton on de-

is good property and it will not lose
value with age, as do most other
farm products. However, it is usually
better to sell on a low market than
to leave cotton ou- exposed to the
weather"
1t is said at the department of agri-
culture that the popularity of the
poster bulletins is increasing all the
time, the October number being the
fourth of the series.

AFRICANS SACRIFICE BIG
SALARIES TO ENTER WAR

London, Oct 30-In the ranks of
the South African contingent, now in
a training camp in Hertfordshire,
there are more men who have relin-
quished large salaries to serve the
mother country at a shilling a day
than in any other command of the
size in the imperial army. One pri-
vate before his enlistment drew a sal
airy of over $4,000 a year as manager
of one of the most important firms in
the South African colony. Magistrates,
well-to-do farmers and miners, civil
servants of high position and even
men who fought as officers in the
campaign under Botha against German
Southwest Africa, put HAD no com
missions open to them in the new
contingent, are in the ranks.
The South African contingent is
filled with young Beers as well as colo
malls whose British parents were pio-
neers in that world It's motto, Fan
dracht Maakt Macht-union makes

Cold weather affected the troops at
first, after their work in the burning
deserts of German Africa, but with
warm clothing they rather prefer it,
as they enjoy sharper appetites.
The contingent will be sent to the
front as soon as acclimated.

FASHION MODES
BUSINESS is IMPROVING

Paris, Oct. 3O.-(Correspondence of
The Associated Press-Full skirts
have taken fashions back as far as
1880 and the military note has intro
duced leather into cloaks and mantles
and fur into cloaks, jackets and
skirts.
The leather cloak launched by some
of the best authorized houses are very
supple and light and are made in all
colors. Ivory white ornamented with
dark colored patent leather and with
fur trimmings at collar and sleeves is
very popular as well as dark blue.
Cloaks buttoning to the chin and
recalling the military style of the sec
ond empire are also to be worn this
winter. They will be fur trimmed.
Silk has become fashionable by the
force of circumstances; other French
textiles are largely tied up by the
war. In afternoon gowns velvet is be-
ing used largely. There is said to be
little likelihood that skirts will be
heightened this season; the modifca-
tion will be mostly in the material and
in the waist into which sleeves of the
time of Louis Philippe will be intro
duced.
Dressmakers, milliners and dealers
in luxuries generally report business
immensely improved during the past
three months.

McADOo SCORES POLITICIANS
WHOSE PREDICTIONS ARE BUNK

Helena, Mont. Oct. 30.-Efforts of
the administration at Washington to
prevent certain fundamental questions
such as the tariff from being battle
dore and shuttlecock of party politics
were discussed here today by Secre-
tary of the Treasury William McAdoo
at breakfast rendered him by state of
ficials and prominent citizens of Mon
tana.
"to take certain fundamental ques-
tions out of politics so that they may
not be party questions in the future
as they have been in the past. Among
them is the tariff.
"Politicians have gone up and down
the country" he continued, telling
us that their particular party could
bring prosperity. First it was the re-
pubicans, then the democrats. The
politicians have been playing this
game of seesaw to get offices, but
their predictions and promises are all
bunk. We have not had any real
prosperity in the United States for
ten years because our business out
grew the clumsy financial system that
we have been talking about correct
ing for thirty years, but which we
did not get to until President Wilson
insited on congress taking it up as
soon as the tariff bill was out of the
way"
The infallible test of the value of
measure to the general public, he said
was to have it called "socialistic" by
some special interest.
