Most people have an Idea that gar.

pose of killing weeds As matter 81
fact, the killing ~ weeds Is just one
object 81 garden cultivation. say the
specialists of the United States de-
partment ~ agriculture. The roots Of
plants require air Just the same as do
the tops. and II the ground II packed

true where the land Is poorly drained

WHEnl WoulH Is Nervous WORRIED

Most women neglect their health,
and for this they pay the penalty.
Any woman will find that neglect
does not pay. A little more atten.
ton to health would brighten up her
life. If she asks her neighbors she
finds that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription benefits a woman's whole
system. It not only acts upon the
troubles and weaknesses peculiar
to women, but is an all-round tonic
that braces the entire body, over
coming nervousness, sleeplessness,
headaches, dizziness and a rum
down condition.
