SiIOam Springs Man
 Gets Back Health

John M. Roach of Siloam Springs, Ark, was long a sufferer from stom- ach troubles and related disorders common in this section of the coun- try. Along with his stomach trouble he was occasionally attacked by la grippe. He was congested, unhappy, nervous-just like la grippe always makes one feel.
 He gave Mayr's Wonderful Remedy a trial. He was surprised at the swiftness with which his trouble van ished. He wrote:
 "When your trial treatment was re- ceived I was getting better on an other treatment, so l deferred taking your medicine until an unusually se- were attack of la grippe came upon me. Previously l have had to just wear out such attacks. l thought this a good test. 1 took your medicine |according to directions and was never more surprised in my life. In thirty six hours the grippe was knocked sil- ly and I have felt like new man ever since"
 Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives permanent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more dis tress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of your druggist now and try it on an absolute guarantee if not satisfactory money will be re- turned.

 els of Corn on an Acre

"In spite of a severe drought 144 bushels of corn were raised on an acre by twelve-year-old Mississippi how lin 1914" according to contributor lin the courrent issue of Farm and Preside. "The corn won prize of 125 for being the largest yield in the country. It cost the boy 23 cents a bushel to raise the corn. This is how he does it:
 "The 1915 acres of this expert corn grower, William Smith of Recluse Harrison County, Mississippi. is bet ter than normal and looks as if it might produce 150 bushels. His land has been made rich by the liberal use of barnyard manure and smaller amounts of commercial fertilizer. He always plants a crop of peas, clover. or some other cover crop. This is turned under in the early spring. He saves part of the hay"

Gcrmany's Love of Home.

Laura Spencer Porter writes anoth- CT story in her series of interpreta- tions of foreign countries in the No vember Woman's Home Companion. Commenting on Germany's love of home and the simple human things of life the author says in part:
 But underlying Germany's love of order lies her fundamental love of home; and here, it seems to me, one comes upon the very heart of Germany a heart that beats warm with love for the simple human things and that de- lights in the simple human affections.
 "There is something peculiarly touching in the home birthdays and anniversaries made so much of with such simplicity and downright love of giving pleasure. In this frank love of the simple joys and pleasures of life they remind one of nothing so much as good and contented children themselves, alternately sober or mirthful, making much of little things"

TWENTY FRUIT TREES

Every man who lives on his own farm should have few fruit trees and Tn a fenced orchard or yard An acres is little enough but at least any farm should have ten apple, five peach and five cherry trees. These cost but a trlfie but if cared for properly will supply a family with fruit in some form for the entire year. Then a row of raspberries, blackberries, cur rants and gooseberries and square rod of strawberries will add much to the happiness of the family. The Ex- tension Division of the University at Fayetteville will send free a diagram and suggestions for an Acre Or chard." But try the above plan for twenty trees and twenty small fruit bushes.

Flagg's COmical Recipe for Making
 Cookies.

In the November American Maga- zine James Montgomery Flagg, the famous wit and artist, writes clever parody of lady's magazine. In his piece MT. Flagg initiates some of the features of every woman's magazine. Following is one of his recipes:
 Nut Cookies.
 Strain cup and a half of ordinary soup stock or grated licorice through an umbrella case, tie four eggs to the leg of the kitchen table and beat them unmercifully, remove the gums from eight gumdrops, and add level table spoonful of selected raccoon fur to taste. Stir rapidly without com junction and roll out the dough with perfect nonchalance. Go down to the First National Bank and ask for some nuts. It they are all out of them, try all the other shops on Main Street. On the following Tuesday, when you have found the nuts, place them in a row on the floor. Lead the cookies in single file in front of the nuts, and when you have cookie standing in front of every nut, and their minds are far away, suddenly push them backward with a fishing pole, and they will all sit down on a nut! Then there is no alternative. They have to be nut cookies"
