Announcement of the permit plan
whereby grain shipments to primary
markets will be under the grain con-
troll committees at central market
points, has been received by the rail-
road officials in Kansas City from
Hale Holden, Chicago, regional d.
rector. The committees of control
will be stationed at Chicago, Kansas
City, st. Joseph, Wichita, st. Louis,
Fort Worth and at several other
large shipping points.
The purpose of the system is to
prevent congestion of wheat ship
ments such as experienced last year
and which at that time were relieved
only by embargoes ordered by the
railroad administration. Shipments
will be handled under the blanket
permits and individual permits will
be issued by the grain control COM
mittees. The permit system will not
be put into effect, 1t is said, until
storage space in the primary market
elevators becomes congested. AT that
time an embargo will be declared
and the permits will control grain
movements altogether.

]. L. Rodney who is back from

800 barrel mill was started Tuesday,
gives the farmers some good advice;
eff they will cut out the bad patch
es where the wheat is down and
damaged and thresh the good
wheat by itself, feeding the bad
wheat on the farm, they will make
money. The bad wheat mixed with
the good brings the grade and price
of the entire crop down. Missouri

Dickinson in quality. There will be

encouraging to see that while 1t is

have $50 million bushels of good
wheat and around 40 million bush
els that is poorer quality. Kansas

Daily Health Talks
Where Most Sickness Begins
and Ends
By Franklin Duane, M. D.

1t can be said broadly that most
human ills begin in the stomach and
end in the stomach. Good digestion
means good health, and poor diges-
tion means bad health. The minute
your stomach fails to properly dis
pose of the food you eat, troubles
begin to crop out in various forms.
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the
commonest forms, but thin, impure
b o o d, headaches, backaches.
pimples, blotches, dizziness, belch-
ing, coated tongue, weakness, poor
appetite, sleep lessness. coughs, colds
and bronchitis are almost as COM
mon. There is but one way to have
good health, and that is to put and
keep your stomach in good order.
This is easy to do If you take DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t is a wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and is so safe to take, for il
is made of roots and herbs. DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, stands be-
hind this standard medicine, and il
is good to know that so DISTINGUISHED
physician is proud to have his
name identified with it. When YOU
take Golden Medical Discovery. Won
are getting the benefit of the expert
ence of a doctor whose reputation
goes all around the earth. Still
more, you get a temperance medi-
cine that contains not a drop of al
cohol or narcotic of any kind. Long
ago DR.. Pierce combined certain
valuable vegetable ingredients =
without the use of alcohol = so
that these remedies always have
been strictly temperance medicines.
If piles are torturing you, get and
use Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment.
The quick relief it gives is hard to
believe until you try it. If consti-
pated, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
should be taken while using Ano-
dyne Pile Ointment. Few, indeed,
are the cases which these splendid
remedies will not relieve and usually
overcome. They are so good that
nearly every drug store has them
for sale.
