fordlng permanent relief for all forms
OF stomach trouble, and that is all. The
Nuxcara Co. asserts that the object
mas been accomplished, and is prepared

tation. Moreover they have hundreds
OF letters from grateful people, who
have been cured Of stomach complaints
by Nuxcara as additional proof of it's
value.
The great majority of people suffer
from some form of stomach trouble.
These may be evidenced now by only
nausea, bad breath, sick headache

rlous results. Don't delay until YOU

MANY FALSE HARMS

Atlanta, Ga, May 22.-The At
lanta fire department has been
stood upon it's h b, fguratively
speaking, by a ular epidemic
of false alarms winch are believed
to be the work Of one man who
by some freakish mental process
decided o amuse himself in this
peculiar manner.
After trying for two or three
weeks to locate the miscreant and
having failed, the chief of the fire
department, the police chief and
Mayor James G. Woodward at
last decided to enlist the cooper
alton of the newspapers and the
general public in their efforts.
A record of false alarms disclo-
ses the fact that in nearly every
instance they were worked in the
same way. The man responsible
for the alarms would go into a
paytStation telephone booth, call
tip a store or a residence located
near a fire box, and frantically re-
quest them to turn in the alarm
because his house, right aroand
the corner was burning down.
The fire chief declares 50 many
false alarms have been answered
that the fire companies actually
are reluctant to answer an alarm
thinking it ujst another fake.

Washington a Seer.
Since the Spanish war the Farewell
Address, once classic and apparent

classics, has fallen into disfavor. We
don't hear of its being pointed to

Perhaps II We do go back to II we
shall find that Washington, besides
being a soldier and a statesman, was
a seer.
And seer Is much more interesting
than a little boy that chops down a
cherry tree or a man that has never
told a lie.
A seer has a way OF projecting him
self into the future and finding a new
life there.
As a prophet Washington is a vital
force today. But he is force that
has been consciously and deliberatels
disregarded.
Washington, the hero of Valley
Forge, was essentially man of peace.
He saw that the happiness and secu-
rity OF this country lay, just as the
happiness of an individual did. in a
policy OF noninterferenee.
And as soon as this country ceased
to follow this policy Washington fore

DEPTH TO CULTIVATE CORN
Task Has Much to Do With Yield
Results Of Experiments Made at
North Dakota Station.

The depth at which corn Is cult.
waited has good deal to do with the
yield. A plant sends its roots as near
the surface as 1t can find moist soil.
When the cultivation is shallow, the
roots can come quite near the sur.
face without being disturbed. When
the cultivation is deep a number OF
the roots are cut and the plant re-
tarded.
At the North Dakota experiment
station trials have been made In cult.
waiting corn shallow and deep. The
yields were S lilo bushels more on

cultivation also saves work in cult.

England, the colonials were humble

cause Washington gave dignity, as
