MERlT0NE GAINS
INSTANT SUCCESS
Fame of New Medicine Has
Spread Over Many States
in Less Than
Year

The instant success Meritone has
was first placed on the market less
than a year ago has become the topic
of much discussion among drug men
throughout all this territory.
In it's first two months the fame OF
Meritone swept over the states of Ten
nessee and Kentucky with marvellous
new system medicine became a house
hold world over a section occupied by
100000 people.
NOW IN MANY STATES
Meritone is now sold in many states
From the original section news of the
wonderful new system medicine sprea
widely and it can now be conserva-
lively estimated that thousands of men
and women over a territory occupied by
millions are taking Meritone and high
ly praise it for the help it is giving
them.
However, back of the big success that
it would appear Meritone has won SO
easily stands years of solid labor. A
trained chemist spent years perfect
ing the Meritone formula and would
not release it for sale to the public
until his expert knowledge knew THAI
it was a system medicine without a
superior.
MERIT Is PROVED
The real merit of Meritone az this trained
chemist released it has been proved in
thousands Of cases. For the ills of the
human system such as ailing condi-
tions of the stomach, liver or kidneys
catarrh. rheumatism and the like. Meri-
tone is excellent Meritone also is q
strengthened and builder and Is helping
thousands of men and women back tc
normal health after influenza.
Because of Meritones real merit il
is expected that the same heavY de
mand that has been created in score;
of other cities will be created for Meri-
tone in Birmingha and for that reason
a huge quantity of Meritone has beer
shipped here to the Jacobs drug store
1914 Second avenue, and the Norton
Drug store, and is now ready for the
public at these stores.
IN NEARBY TOWNS
1t is believed also that hundreds oil
men and women in towns everywhere
near here will want to start taking
Meritone at the earliest opportunity
and they are promised that Meritone
will be placed on sale in their cities as
quickly as arrangements can be made
with one local druggist to take the
exclusive agency.

A Ten Weeks Course in
Spanish; An Opportunity

In Introductory course in practical
Spanish is offered by the board of educa-
ton of Birmingham to those DESTROYS of
acquiring a practical acquaintance with
the Spanish language. The chief aim of
this course is the requirement of prac-
teal knowledge of the Spanish tongue.
Grammar, dictation and composition are
used as aids to the requirement of con-
versational knowledge. The course will,
therefore, be of as much use to those de-
string to get college Credits for work
done as far those who wish only to ac-
quire practical conversational knowl-
edge of Spanish.
The practical teaching of Spanish has
become one of the necessities of the pres
emf day. Our large and rapidly increas-
ing foreign trade has made clerks, ste
nographers, bookkeepers and secretaries
with a practical knowledge of Spanish an
absolute necessity in our import and ex-
port houses and our industrial plants do
ing American business. The Latin
American field is widening from day to
day with the rapid expansion of the Latin
American nations. Their development has
scarcely begun, and yet it is already call
ing for financial and other help from the
United States Where our money goes
and to fields into which our energies
take us, there must go hundreds of
trained young Americans.

Strawberry Directory
Names Best Varieties

Strawberry growers in doubt as to
what variety is best suited to their
soil, climate, and use, should find
problems in farmers bulletin 1913,
recently published by the United
States department of agriculture
The bulletin is intended as an aid
to both commercial and amateur
strawberry growers. The informa-
ton is based largely on the expert
ence of successful growers in prac-
tically every important commercial
neutrality-suspicious. d tri C t
throughout the country, but the re-
suits of experiment station tests,
ers and oy-product manufacturers,
the preferences of amateur fruit
growers and the conclusions result
ing from wide observations of the
departments specialists, have been
used in making up the variety lists
which are given for different sec
tions.
From the beginning of commercial
strawberry growing, about 1900, the
large early scarlet was the leading
variety grown in the United States.
Abou 1850 the Wilson replaced this
variety, because it was much f1rmer
and was more suitable for shipping
to distanct markets. From about
1880 varieties began to replace each
other in more rapid succession, I'M
til at present 25 sorts constitute
about go per cent of the total COM
mercial strawberry acreage. The
Klondike, the leading variety in the
southern states, heads the list, con-
stituting % per cent of the total
strawberry acreage. The Aroma, the
favorite variety in the south central
states, is second with 10 per cent of
the total acreage, while the Dunlap

Bright Future for
Hou-Raising in South

In MISSISSIPPI, the number OF
hogs has increased Sc per cent in
four years. Seventeen counties in
southeast Alabama last year ship
ped over 1900 cars of hogs. Like
stories of the great expansion in
hog production come from all parts
of the south, from Virginia to Texas.
ShaDely DurocS, Poland ChinaS,
Berkshires and Hampshires are re-
placing the razor backs, and good
feeding and care are coming to be
recognized as essentials in profitable
hog production.
All of this expansion and devel-
opment is nothing but natural, for
the fact is that the south is prob
ably better suited to hog-raising
than any other part of the United
States. Our mild climate and long
growing season make possible the
crops for hog feeding, and the
cheapness with which these crops
may be grown almost insures cheap
pork production. During the next
ten years we expect to see in the
south a still greater expansion of
the hog-raising industry, for prices
promise to remain good, and even
when prices fall, the southern hog
grower who follows the right meth
DDS can remain in the business and
prosper longer than the man in the
north possibly can.
For the farmer who will get a
good breed, who will learn what the
best and cheapest hog crops are
and how to grow them in abundance,
and who will work with his neigh
bors to sell in CARROTS, few lines of
farming are more attractive than
hog-r2 ising-ProgreSSi Farmer.
