Drive a Nail Here=Now.

In every healthy body there
are fifty-grains of iron. about as
much as is contained in an ordi-
nary "tenpenny" nail. BY reason
of lack of iron in the blood many
persons are anemic, pale, thin,
emaciated, their blood corpuscles
are uneven, instead of being round
and full Of good red blood, and
the nerves are lacking in strength.
Feed the nerves on good, rich, red
blood, and one feels full of vigor.
How can We acquire good red
blood? It is easily answered. For
many years DR.. Pierce and his
staff of physicians at the Surgical
Institute, in Buffalo, N. y, expert
mented with iron and other 'tonics,
and finally found a soluble iron
which, when combined with native
herbal extracts, made a wonderful
blood and nerve tonic. This they
named "Iron-tic.", 1t can now be
had at most drug stores, and comes
in 6O-cent walls. If you feel
worn out before the day is half

The freight rate from SikestOn to
New York being 1898 cents per bush
ell, he deducted that from $2.2S per
bushel and found the price at SiSeston
to be SHOP. From this he deducted
| per cent per bushel for the commits

price (. o. b. Sikeston at $4,000.
He next compared this price with
what he could yet II he sold al St,
Louis, his nearest primary market. Al
ST. Louis the basic price is S2.1S per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to st. Louis 6 cents per bush
Ell. This would make the Sikeston
price S2.12. less | cent per bushel for
selling charges, or $2.1l net. The ST.
Louis price would therefore govern.
