How to Treat
Stomach Ills.
The Way to Make a Sour Distressed
Stomach Function Properly.

When you belch gas, have heart
burn or sour stomach, you need some
thing to tone up that organ so that it
will perform its function easily and
naturally.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of NJ.
D. l.. Once you have that bottle in
your hands, you can consider yourself
free from all stomach trouble.
1t acts instantly, stopping fermenta-
ton and relieving you of headache
and that puffed, uncomfortable feeling.
The stomach will be assisted in its
work. 1t will be relieved of the load
that has stopped the machinery of di-
gestion. NJ. D. I. is the best curative
agent for stomach trouble that money
can buy.

as TO production and supply of crops
and live stock is the plea of DR.. Leon
NJ. Estabrook, chief Of the bureau
of crop estimates, made in his an
nuaI report to the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
The program, Dr. Estabrook said
involves supplying information with
regard to live stock. an industry rep
resenting a farm value OF more than
$4,000. 900 900; dairy and poultry pro-
duction. which have an estimated an
nual value of more than $4,000, 00O. 900,
and reporting of other crops having
an annual value of $17,O60.000, 900. To
put this program into effect an in
creased appropriation of 100000 an
nuaIly is necessary, DR.. Estabrook
said Last years appropriation for the
bureau amounted to 1871, 102.
Reduced appropriations caused
discontinuance of special service for
fruit. truck, potato. tobacco. rice and
cotton crops. which have an annual
value in excess of $4.500.000,0 600.
A large number of voluntary crop
reporters entered the military sery-
ice. but those who remained on the
farm, notwithstanding the scarcity of
farm labor and the enormous crops to
be handled, displayed a commendable
spirit in keeping the number of re-
ports up to the point where accuracy
was assured in the estimates, Dr.
Estabrook said.
