 MT. Lown left the store but Tn a few minutes he returned. He said he hsd reached the Putnam Inn when he experienced another attack Some more medicine was given him and shortly he said that he felt even better than before. He then left the store and proceeded to his office.

New Orleans. Ambitious plans
for colonizing cutoyer long leaf pine
land at Elizabeth, La, are being put
into operation by the Industrial Lum-
Der Company of that town.
The company has holdings of more
than one hundred thousand acres OF
land, with three sawmills, located at
Elizabeth and at Oakdale. This dis
tricts is in the middle western part
of the stats of Louisiana, in the heart
of the long leaf pine section.
The plan Of operation which the
company has prepared is as. follows:
The land will be sold in blocks OF so
acres on long ting payments. This
land will be Cleared of trees and
stumJ, leaving only enough wood
land on each tract for pasturage.
Roads will be built, each tract to face
a good highway The company will
help to finance the Improvements. Elk
pert agricultural advice will be at the
service of settlers, in planning of
crops and in caring for them.
A feature Of the plan which has not
accompanied other schemes of coloni-
cation is that the company will buy
all the crops and do the marketing it.
self. 1t will not attempt to put the
raw products on the market, but has
built potato drying plant which is
already in operation, and promises
that Gaming factories and such other
industries as are needed will be built
to care for future crops
A recent government report, which
representatives Of the lumber com
pany quote, said that the section
around Elizabeth was one of the best
in Louisiana or Mississippi.
Officials say that the Industrial
Lumber Company is firm in announc-
ing that all possible aid will be given
its colonists, the aim throughout be-
ing to establish a permanent citizen
ship, and to make the fertile section
the producing territory it should be.
The company is bringing it's coloRi-
cation scheme before northern people
who might become interested and is
aruging that the mild climate of the
south, plentiful rainfall and nearly all
year-round growing season should
prove an irresistible appeal to the
small land owner and tenant farmer
of the North.

SIN view of the already wide

Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and
If you skip meal or only eat two
meals day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least five hours should
always elapse between meals so as t.
give the food ample time to diges,
and the stomach period of rest be-
fore a second meal is taken. Then il
you eat no more than you crave and
take a reasonable amount of outdoor
exercise every day you will not need
to worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case, thai
should be corrected at once. A dose

When the unusual takes place, their
