A PLAIN STEER is A
PLAIN STEER ALWAYS

(By G. D. Lowe, Live Stock Specialist,
Division OF Extension, University OF
Tennessee.)
We often hear men complain be-
cause some cattle buyer will not pay
them the top of the market for their
steers.
Many times the reason is because
their steers are not top steers. Some
times. on account of price differences
or other things, it pays to feed or
craze plain cattle, and many poorly
bred animal is improved a great deal
by the addition of flesh. 1t is we'll to
remember, however, that flesh Will
never make a good steer of one that
lacks quality by inheritance.
II matters little in what condition
a well-bred, typey steer is presented
to the buying public, for he will find a
good market at most any time, thin or
fat. for the feed-lot, pasture or the
block. On the other hand, the scrub
must always be cheap one, no mat
ter what his condition.

The facts are now confirmed. Such
testimony is complete-the evidence

proof of merit
Mrs. Sarah Foran, 405 w. Popular

with pains through my loins. My
kidneys acted irregularly, too. When
| heard about Doan's Kidney Pills,
got some from the Whitehouse Drug
Co., and they fixed me up in good
shape.
Mrs Foran gave the above account
of her experience in December, 1910
and on March 10, 1915, she said: Il

An act was recently passed in the
legislature end signed by the COVER
nor regulating the examining and Ii
censing Of all plumbers firms and COR
porations conducting or managing a
business Off installing sanitary plumb
Ing and fixtures. The act provides
for the appointment of a board of
examiners to be appointed by the gov
ernor in cities of 44,G04 population
Oh more, said board to be selected
within thirty days after the date of
the passage of the bill.
The purpose of the board is to ex-
anime and pass on all applications
for plumbing licenses. Plumbers state
that they had great deal of trouble
with mechanics and others desiring to
fix plumbing arrangements and the
main reason for the new law is to
force out such incompetent persons.
All licenses granted by the board
must be placed in conspicuous place
in The office of the firm securing the
license.
