MORE PEP FOR THE LAZY MIND
frequently the Only Difference Be.
tween the Genius and the Dullard
Lies In The Condition of the
Body

The brain is not normally lazy. I'm
der normal conditions it functions
properly. Its work, however, is direct
ly affected by the condition of the
body, especially of the alimentary
canal. Stop up the canal and the
stagnated poisons will polute the en-
tire body. Fill the body with poison
and no organ can function properly !;
much less the brain.
Clog the system by allowing chron-
ic constipation and you are neither fit
for work nor association.
Such troubles are common with
mankind. Irregular habits, rash appe-
tltes, over-worked stomaches and
sluggish livers always decrease the
efficiency of mans brain.
One should always keep the system
cleansed. SarDraS, scientific prep
aration of medicinal roots and herbs,
without alcohol, invigorates the slug
gish liver and kidneys, soothes the ir-
rated over-worked stomach, cleanses
the system and strikes at the very
root of the many common and dan
gerous digestive diseases. 1t will do
what the common laxative cannot.
A tablespoonful three times a day
before meals will set the system right
An excellent tonic for liver, stomach,
kidney and blood ills.
At all jobbers and dealers. adv.

SEVEN THOUSAND BUCKS
TO DISCOVER new WORLD
But Columbus Dragged Idea All Over
Europe BY Tall Before He Could
Raise Money.

It cost only about seven thousand
bucks for Columbus to discover Amer
lea but he had an awful time raising
the ooin. His ships cost some $4,000.
and the crew got about $3.50 O month
and cakes.
Columbus had an idea that added
billions to the worlds wealth. but he
dragged that idea around Europe by
the tail for years begging somebody
to put up the money to back II.
Finally Queen Isabella had to take the
tiara and the pearl necklace and the
royal wrist watch and the silver
backed hair brushes around the corner
to the store with the three balls over
the door and soak them to raise the
dough
When Columbus got back you may
be sure there were plenty OF folks
who said: Sure, I knew Columbus
had the right idea, but I didn't have
the money to go in with him." Modern
Columbuses are dragging ideas past
you every day. You may have the
judgment to see the possibilities of
tremendous profits in these ideas but
you cannot become a partner in them
unless you save the money.

OF A FELLOW
WORKING HARD EVERY DAY

YOU OUT IN TIME D..
SOMETIMES YOU NEED A TONIC
Pepto-Mangan Makes Rich, Red Blood
And Lifts You Out OF Bad-Health-
Routes

There are days when you feel
downright sick. You think you
couldn't feel any worse. Yet, so far
as you know, there's nothing the mat
ter with you. From the time you get
up in the morning till you go to bed
at night you are tired. You feel as
though you'd like to sit down and do
nothing. You look tired and haggard.
You get careless about your dress.
No wonder Your blood is all clog
ged up with poison. Your power of
resistance is at a low ebb.~Ioui
blood needs food. 1t needs the help
that the vitalizing tonic, Pepto-Man-
gan, will give it. Instead of feeling
exhausted and tired out for months,
you will soon pick right up and feel
well and strong again. And with good
red blood you are able to fight off all
ments.
Pepto-Mangan is widely and hearth
ly endorsed by physicians. 1t is eff
fedtive and easy to take. 1t is pre-
pared in both liquid and tablet form,
, and you can take one or the other
and receive the same benefits.
Sold at any drug store. But be sure
you get the genuine Pepto-Mangan-
"Gude's." Ask for it by the full
name and be sure the full name.
"Gude's" Pepto-Mangan," is on the
/ package. adv.

WHEAT CROP TO PLANT

Are you in doubt about the sorg-
hum you buy? IF you want forage
or silage crop the results of the Fort
Hays Experiment station tests show
that Red Amber, making an average
yield of 1875 tons of silage per acre,
is best for dry fodder or si1age and
is an excellent hay crop. Although
not as good as Sudan for quality it
yields 81 per cent more per acre.
Pink kafir is best for both grain
and forage where a combination crop
is wished as it made S.34 tons of sill
age and 1873 bushels of grain per acre

Experiment station. For a grain crop
only, feterita has given the highest
yield during the last six years with an
average of 1873 bushels per acre. Do
not be misled about some high sound

have stood the test and given the

Yes it is very good weather for
fish stories but so far this season the
whoppers caught or told about them
fail to approach an experience Old
ST once had when he was considerably
younger than he is now He was hsh-
ing from the old mill pond one day
just few rods above the mill There
was a good head of water above the
dam and the old mill was Gathering
away to beat the band. Nothing hap
pened during the first half hour but
81 knew by the swrling and slashing
of the water now and then, here and
there, that the monster catfish which
he had been trying for several years
to catch was still there and so he was
encouraged in the hope that he might
at last reap the reward of patience
and perseverance. And SO it was. At
and then, all at once, there came
mighty jerk that yanked ST into the
water and almost pulled him under
But Old ST was quite an active fellow
in his younger days and this natural
agility coupled with great presence of
mind enabled him to get a half hitch
of the line around a stump near the
edge of the water and thus he saved
himself and his fish. 1t was great
victory but the tug of war was yet to
come and it took an hour and a half
of the hardest kind of work to get
that fish out onto dry land. Of
course he was more or less excited,
| unconsciously and very naturally so,
but after he had cooled off a bit and
| the monster had stopped thrashing
and fepping around Old Sd noticed
that the mill had stopped dead still.
One of Old Sis notices is: What
| ever you do, do it little better than
| the other fellow does tor give up
| the bow.
And still another of his SIP cams is
