AT THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

Announcement is made by Manager
Miller of the Republic Theatre that
Tom Mix, the screen daredevil, will
appear at the Republic tonight, in his
latest William Fox thriller, 1.-The Ter
ror.'
Tom Mix will be seen in the role
of Bat Carson, a United States Dep
tty Marshall sent to investigate mys-
terious leakages Of gold in shipments
by the Sonora Gold and Copper Min
ing Company After investigation,
Carson suspects Sheriff Candy and
Con Norton, owner of the Odeon
Dance Hall, of the thefts. He also
discovers that Candy and Norton have
as their tools Fay La Cross, dance
hall girl at the Odeon, and Phil Har-
land, her sutton and confidential sec
rotary to the president of the mining
company.
Carson lays a trap for Harland and
Norton's gang of outlaws by ordering
a shipment of gold in the presence
of young Harland. The truck carry
ing the gold, and driven by Carson,
Is wayIaid by the bandits in the noun
tains, but Carson foils the highway

ter is admired by Norton, whom Fay
loves, promises to tell all she knows
about the plot to steal gold. To pre-
vent this she is kidnapped and car

following; Lester Cuneo, Charles X.
French. Lucille Younge, Joseph Ben

The fact that Nuxated Ironsis today be-
ing used by over three million people an
nually and that SO many physicians are pre-.
senoing It as tonic, strength and blood
builder IN weak, nervous. rundown condi-
tons has led to an investigation of its
merits by designated physicians and others
whose reports should be of great importance
TO the public generally Among these Is the
statement made by Dr. James Francis Sui
Ivan, formerly physician of Bellevue Hos
pital Outdoor Dept). New York, and
Mestchesier County Hospital, who says:
.'When one patient after another began ask.

Sh0usands OF delicate, nervous, rundown
folks who need just such a preparation as
ms Dat do not know what to take. There.
fore l have urgently suggested the wide
spread publication Of the sworn statement
OF the. composition of its formula so that
the public may know what they are taking.
I his complete formula is now to be found
IN newspapers throughout the country. II
IS composed principally of organic iron in
the form of iron peptonate of a special spe-
cifc standard and giycerophsophates which Is
one of the most costly tonic ingredients
known. To the credit Of the manufactur-
ers it may be said that they Use the most
expensive form OF iron peptonate, whereas
by employing other makes they could have
put the same quantity of actual iron in the
tablets at less than one-fourth the cost and
by using metallic iron they could have re-
duced the cost TO less than one-twelfth, but
By thus chespening the product they would
have impaired its therapeutic
efficacy. In my opinion a careful examina-
ton Of this formula by any physician or
pharmacist should convince him that NIX
afed Iron is to be placed among the very
highest class and most strictly eth prep
arations known to medical scienc. q L ex-

FARMERS SHOULD
BE ON LOOKOUT
FOR HOG CHOLERA
County Agent Norris Says Dis
ease Is About Due To Make
Its Appearance - Was Pre-
valent At Corresponding Per-
iod Last Year
ACTIVITIES AT PAROLE
AND DAVIDSONVILLE

A great amount of work has been
spent this past week in making in
dividual calls on the various farmers
requiring help. This work took a
good part of the week, and the work
took the form Of insects and diseases
on plants to the draining of fields.
The various places looked we'll and
gave every promise of good crop. In
many places the results OF the brown
rot in peaches is beginning to show
up. The curculia is also playing havoc
with the crop, but where spraying or
busting has been, there is no evidence
of either of these pests. A simple
spraying with atomic sulphur or self
boiled lime-sulphur will check the
brown rot, and if the peaches are
worth anything at all to the farmer,
it should pay him to spray.
Hog Cholera About Due
Hog cholera is about due to make
its appe lrance in the county if we are
going to have any cholera. Last year
at this time the county was full of it,
especially in the neighborhoods
around Shady Side, Galesville and
Sudley This is easily prevented, but
there is no cure for it. The Bure u
of Animal Industry, U. S. Department
of Agriculture. is anxious to blot out
this disease and is using every effort
to do so, but they require the CO.
operation of the hog-raisers In Anne
Arundel enough hogs have been lost
with cholera to pay taxes for the
whole county for one year. This is a
gouge into the wealth of the county,
and it is up to the farmer to cooper
ate with the County Agent and check
this dreaded scourge whenever it ap-
pears. All that is necessary is to drop
the County Agent a card or call him
on the phone and it win be attended
toat once. Don't wait until yuor hogs
get sick, but If the disc Sc appears in

Short Course Trains Home Makers.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, Oct. elf the
surest way to a mans heart is still
through his stomach, as they used to
say it was, every year will be leap
year for the girls and women of Mis-
souri, who add to their training for
home making by taking the Short
Course in Home Economics for Wo-
men, offered every fall and winter at
the University of Missouri. The ses-
sion this year will be from November
/ to December %. The only require
ment for entrance is an age of at least
16 years, and the work is planned to
be of practical value.
The course in food preparation, for
example, is to teach the girl to select
food intelligently, cook it palatably,
and 2erve it attractively. Meal plan
ring is taught so that cooks can sat
isfy the needs Of the family group,
keep the family well and strong, and
a V money at the same time-a diff
cult combination.
In the elementary sewing course a
suit of underwear and a simple dress
are planned and made. A study of
the dress problem is given to insure
getting the best value for the money,
selecting materials and designs prop
erly, caring for clothing, and making
rcnairs.
Other courses are in home care of
the sick household management, mil.
linery, trade dressmaking, farm poul-
try management, farm dairying, and
vegetable gardening.

Short Courses Begin November Z,
COLUMBIA, No., Oct. 21.-The
first day of November is the time
set for registration Of students in the
Two-Yea Winter Course in AgricuR-
ture and the Short Course in Home
Economics for Women at the Univer-
sity of Missouri.
This is a particularly fortunate
date for those interested in athletics.
The bulk of the home games for the
University Tigers, last years chaR-
pions of the Missouri Valley in foot
ball, will begin in Columbia that
weekend and come to a climax with
the Kansas game on Thanksgiving
Day. Students entering the Short
Courses therefore will see practically
as much of the foot ball season as
those who entered the regular ses-
sion on September l.
1t is a fact that farmers are begin
ming to appreciate the need Of spe-
cial training in agriculture, according
to Sam B. Shirky, in charge Of the
courses. This is especially true since
land values have increased so that
they must make their farms pay a
greater income.
The Two-Year Winter Course in
Agriculture has been designed to
make better and more prosperous
farmers. Opportunity is given to the
students for specialization in any
branch that they like best and are
most suited for. Courses are offered
in animal husbandry, field crops,
poultry h~usbandry, soils, veterinary
science, dairying, horticulture, agri-
ultural engineering entomology,
rural life and home economics.
