STIPATION is
A PENALTY OF AGE

Nothing is SO essential to
health in advancing age as free
dom and normal activity of the
bowels. 1t makes one feel
younger and fresher, and fore
stalls colds, piles, fevcrs, and
other dependent ills.
Cathartics and purgatives are
violent and drastic in action and
should be avoided. A mild, eff
fective laxative, recommended by
physicians and thousands who
have used it, is far preferable.
This is the combination of simple
laxative herbs w:;h peps;n sold
by druggists under the name Of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pcpsin. 1t
costs only fifty cents a bottle; a
trial bottle, free of charge, can be
obtained by writing to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell, 456 Washington ST.,
Monticello, Illinois.

Shelton, Sept. 17.-There has beer
quite change in the weather. 1t has
been real cool and pleasant; fine
weather to gather up crops.
Cotton picking in this community
appears to be half done. Our cottor
buyers have been paying the top price
Tor green cotton. The farmers are not
selling their cotton seed. The price
is too low. $2.65 per hundred weight
where they should not be paying less
than $500.
The report shows from the Farmer
that the corn crop is the best in many
years. With good corn crop that
means good meat crop and that shows
that the people have cut out cotton
to an extent.
Some farmers are making ready to
get their land in shape to sow wheat
That is the thing to do; make your
wheat at home. One of our con-
ductors says he made a good yield of
wheat this year on thin land; plenty
to do him on a small acreage. His

Atlanta, Ga. DR.. Jacobson said in a
recent interview that 80 per cent. of
enemia comes from nervous break
down which can only be corrected by
supplying the necessary phosphates to
the nervous system that is lacking in
the food you eat, and this can be quick
ly supplied by taking one or two s.
grain Argo-Phosphate tablets after
each meal, and at bed time. 1t will in
many cases make pale scrawny face

have to be kept under treatment for
months restored to perfect health in

SPECIAL NOTICE. The Argo-
Phosphate recommended by DR.. F. H
Jacobson contains phosphates such as
are prescribed by leading physicians
throughout the world, and it will be
found the most effective form for
treating patients with Nervous Dys-
pepsia, Stomach troubles, Brain Fag
and Nervous Prostration. 1t will re-
new youthful vim and vigor, and

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says Tbi.
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: "I am g user
Of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact.
1t was one Of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when I
was child. When any of us child.
rem complained of headache. usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
q dose OF Black k-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted we'll, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for it certainly has saved US lots of
doctor bills. Just dose of Black

Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which It
now enjoys Is proof Of its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree

ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black -Draught has been

BREAD MADE FROM
SPRING BUDS OF
TREES IS PROMISE

Berlin, May a.-Bread made from
the spring buds of limo and. beech
trees, is the latest promise Of German
scientists. Two brothers named
Branco have perfected the process of
producing a flour from this source,
with considerable quantities of fat and
animal fodder as by-products. They
estimate that about 500. 900 tons Of the
new -four can be produced annually
in Germany. The -four is said to
have about the same nutritive value
as barley.
The imperial corn office is sceptical
as to the value Of the invention, de-
claring that the harvesting of the
buds and the preparation of the" -four
involve such ar expenditure Of man.
power and money that 1t hardly seems
likely the invention can be exploited
