STOMACH SUFFERERS YOU NEED
"OLD HICKORY TONI"
STRENGTHENS THE STOMACH so
IT CAN DO ITS WORK
PROPERLY,

Don't take digestive medicines. They
only digest the food you eat and your
stomach weakens, Just the same as
your arms would weaken II you did not
use them.
If you suffer from indigestion and
dyspepsia. Old Hickory Tonic will
tone and strengthen the stomach so
that it will easily do its own work.
That's the right way-the way that
nature says you should correct stom.
ach troubles. And at the same time
your blood will be enriched and puri.
fled and your liver and kidneys will be
made to throw OFF acids and poisons.
Old Hickory Tonic is made from the
formula of family Of doctors. who
for over half century gave it to their
patients for stomach ailments, poor
blood. weak kidneys and a run down
condition OF the system.
Your druggist sells Old Hickory
Tonic. Get GOOD big bottle at once
and not only relish what you eat, but
digest 1t properly. It is guaranteed
to relieve you and satisfy you, or you
get your money back.

POTATO BREAD CHEAP.
Department Of Agriculture Specialists
Announce Results of Experiment..


Washington, Oct. 16.-More general
use of potatoes in making bread is rec
commended by the baking specialists OF
the department OF agriculture. Bread
containing boiled and mashed potatoes
was found during experiments just
concluded to be just as nutritious as
ordinary bread and to have the quality
Of remaining fresh longer.
The department believes that in To-
calites where there is surplus OF
potatoes, or where they are cheap,
much economy can be practiced a this
time by reason of the high price Of
wheat flour.
Potato bread as known in Europe
usually is made with potato flour,
which is not available in the United
States. In their experiments the gov
eminent experts baked excellent bread
with three pounds Of potato and two
and half pounds of flour. Three
recipes have been formulated.
The extent of increases in the price
Of bread, or decreases in the weight
Of loaves during the four months from
May Is to Sept. 10, Is detailed in f1g-
ures from forty-f1ve Of the country
principal industrial centers mace pup
lie by the bureau Of labor statistics
OF 210 brands Of bread that retailec
for cents and weighed fifteen ounces
or over on May Is. only fourteen re-
manned at the same price and weigh,
on Sept. Is.
The increasing cost Of bread Is in
dicated in a report made pubic by the
bnreau OF labor statistics covering re-
ports from large number of industrial!
centers thruout the country. Wheat ON
Sept IS was 81 per cent higher than
on May IS, flour at wholesale was 81
per cent higher. at retail % per cent
higher and the average price Of bread
at retail was II per cent higher or
21o brands Of bread that formerly sold
at 5 cents loaf but fourteen are now
at the same price and weight that
they were four months ago.
