WHERE MOST SICKNESS
BEGINS AND ENDS
By FRANKLIN DUANE, N. D.

It can be said broadly that most
human ills begin in the stomach and end
in the stomach. Good digestion means
good health, and poor digestion means
bad health. The minute your stomach
fails to properly dispose Of the food you
eat, troubles begin 10 crop out in various
forms. Indigestion and dyspepsia are the
commonost forms, but thin, impure
blood, headaches, backachcs, pimples,
blotches, dizziness, belching coated
tongue, weakness, poor appeti. sleep
lessnoss, coughs, colds and bronchitis are
almost as common. 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. It is a won
derful tonic and blood purifier, and is 50
safe TO take, for it is made Of roots and
herbs. DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. "
stands behind this standard medicine,
and it is good TO know that 50 distin-
guished physician is proud TO have his
name identified with it.

ALLOTMENT FOR OLD KY,

WASHINGTON Unless federal
action is taken during the current is.
cal year concerning federal aid road

other states and cause the entire road

Gently.
"The last apportionment Of federal
funds to aid states in road construc-
ton under the existing federal aid

United States has been divided.
Its directorate and leaders are Sc
lected from actual farmers and men
who sense the agricultural needs of
the country.
The officers have appreciated the
functions and servics the national
farm bureau should develop and have
taken up projects which the states
could not as units carry through.
The National Federation has rec
ognized the problems affecting the
farmers and will consider in due time
every feature in agricultural leader

TO PROBE FAILURE OF
KENTUCKY WHEAT CROP

H0PKlNSVILLE-Special efforts
are to be made, if the cooperation of
the state and federal bureaus Of ag-
riculture can be enlisted, to determine
@hat is the matter with Christian
county's wheat crop and to restore
the productiveness here.
Until few years ago Christian led
the state in wheat production with
an annual yield of a million bushels.
1t was considered as one Of the ban
ner crops and the broad fields of
grain, extending in many cases as
far AS the eye could reach, were a
sight worth seeing. Not only was
the quantity high, but the quality
was excellent.
But since 1914, this county has
not had full crop of wheat. This
year was the fattest failure Of all.
Thre was not more than a fifth in
yield and the quality was just as
badly off
All sorts of reasons have been
given, such as the weather, the Hes
sian fly, the rust, ETC.. as the cause
of the failure from year to year, but
now it has about been decided
that it is some fault with the soil
which must have undergone some
change. The use of ground lime
stone appears to help some but in no
wise corrects the trouble.
So now County Agent Leland Bunch
has applied to the state experimnt
station for wheat expert to come
to Christian county and remain
through the sowing season which will
begin now in few weeks. II is
hoped an expert will be sent and
that he will be able to locate the
trouble and prescribe an effective
cure. The farmers will be- quick to
adopt anything that promises sue
cess, for they want to be able to pro-
duce wheat again as in the past.

STORING FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES

LEXINGTON, Ky. Sent. lS-Ev-
cry year people have trouble to keep
fruits and vegetables through the
winter. Much of this trouble can be
eliminated and large amounts of
food stuffs saved annually if a few
simple rules are followed The Col
lege Of Agriculture has found that
where good specimens of fruits and
vegetables are stored in boxes or
crates in rooms such as cellars or
caves, good ventilation must be pro.
vided. This can be accomplished in
several ways. First, make sure that
all the containers as boxes, barrels.
and crates have openings so as to
permit a good circulation of air. Bore
holes in sides and bottoms or cut
Stats in the sides. Second, be sure
that some means is provided where
by there will be good circulation
OF air in the storage room. Open
lngs are usually found in the top of
all cellars or caves but unless some
means is provided to admit the cold
air to the floor there will not be
much ventilation even when there
is an opening at the top. Often six
inches cut off the bottom of the door
will provide a good circulation of air
This opening can be covered with wire
netting to exclude rats and cats.
This circulation can also be provided
by laying 10 inch tile from the out
side to the center of the floor. Re-
membering to have the outside open-
ing at least two feet lower than the
opening in the floor.
With these simple suggestions fol-
lowed in providing a means of venti.
lation any one should be able to keep
fruit and vegetables. As a rule the
nights are cool in the fall and by
opening all ventiators at night and
closing them in the day it is possi-
ble to keep the storage room very
near the night temperature

IMPRESSIVE EXERCISES
AT SCHOOL OPENING

The Marion schools opened Mon

ensemble Rev H. r. Short spoke
briefly and led in prayer. Prof
Jaggers, the new superintendent,
talked Of his plans for the coming
year and the members Of the school
board, as well as a few leading cit

Hart county and has spent his life
there except while in school. His
education was received in the rural
schools and in the Normal schools
and as a student in State University.
HIS special interests lie in supervision
and administration. He taught for
seven years in the Rural Schools Of
Hart county and since that time has
been County Superintendent of Hart
county Under his supervision Hart
county made some wonderful strides
in progress. When he left there
there were annually more than four
times as many boys and girls who
received County Diplomas as did
when he went into Office. When he
became superintendent about ~ per
cent Of the teachers had normal train
ing last year Hart county lead the
Western District Of fifty-one coun-
ties in attendance at the Normal
School with an enyoIlment of 56
students. As result of his efforts
Hart county has one Of the best con-
solidated schools in Kentucky in the
open country with modern equipment.
He also brought about the establish
ment Of two other consolidated
schools.
Mr.. Jaggers is in school work from
'hoice and reverence for education.
He has no time for the person who
is not serious about teaching the
of Kentucky.
He is delighted with the spirit Of
he Marion people and feels at home
among them.
