the sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid appetite

AVOID cowPEA DISEASE.
Prevent Injury from Root-Knot by Sc
curing an Unmixed Supply Of Iron,
Brabham, and Monetta Varieties.

When a crop of cowpeas die prema

bile probably can be traced TO the eel.
worm, or nematode, which lives in the
soil and which causes root -knot--a dis.
ease TO which ordinary varieties Of COW.
peas are very subject. But there Is nm
easy way to avoid the loss caused by
eel-worm; plant varieties that are high.
" resistant TO root knot. The Iron,
Brabham, and Monetta varieties-and
only these-are highly resistant TO the
disease. To plant other varieties on
land infected with the nemat0de is a
dangerous practice, for il not only means
a reduction In the yield Of the crop but
win permit the eelworm TO reproduce
TO such an extent that the next crop
may be more severely damaged than the
first.
To be certain of having seed ofNhe
varieties known to be root-knot resist

portance that unmixed seed of these va.
rieties be secured. II Iron, Brabham

susceptible varieties, such as Taylor,
Whippoorwill, or Early Buff, are planted
on infected land which contains the root.
knot nematode, considerable losses may
follow. Many 'so-called failures of the
resistant varieties to withstand root knot
are due to planting mixed seed. y
As far as practicable, obtain seed from
local sources, not only because of over
taxed railroad facilities, but also be-
cause such seed seem to be as well if
not better adapted than those brought
in from other regions If difficulty is
in carrying out the above
suggestions, consult the local county |
agent, write to the state |
agricultural experiment station, or com

The Machinery
of the Body
by DR.. /. w. Short.)

The body is highly organized ma
chine of complicated parts in which the
liver and the kidneys work for the com
mon good. Damage to either one of these
organs interferes with man motor
mechanism. The automobile expert knows
how important it is that the carburetor
does not get too much fuel, along with
sufficient air to burn or explode the gas

eating too much meat, or alcohol or tea,

health. Eat less meat, plenty of vegeta-
bles, and with air and good exercise you
need little else. If the liver needs rmsing

Most people die eventually of an over
acid condition. If the blood can be rem
dered more alkaline, the longer we live.
With regular hours, plenty of water be-
tween meals, sensible coarse food and
chance to get the poisons out of the sys
TEN, a man will live to be a hundred.
But, unfortunately, our highly nervous
way of living brings increased storage of
uric acid in the body. This acts as
poison, and we suffer from lumbago,
aches or pains. rheumatism, govt.
Get rid of this uric acid poison by
taking harmless medicine called Anuric
which throws out the uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys. Drink pint of hot
water before meals and take Anuric
double strength, three or four times a |
day. Anurie can be obtained at almost |
any drug store.-Adv.

than salts, pills or calomel because they
don't shock the liver or grippe the bowels

Mothers should give cross, sick, bilious,
feverish children a whole Cascaret any
time, as they cannot injure the thirty
