AMERICANS STUFF
 THEMSELVES TOO FULL
 IF FOOD, HE DECLARE

John Pomeroy, the noted New Zealand Scientist, who has been creating such sensation, in Nash vile for the past few weeks, is now meeting the people of Memphis.
 Pomeroy says that ninety per cent of all i'll health is due to weak stomachs, and claims to prove this with his medicine-Puratone In speaking of this theory during an interview recently, he said: "Prac- tically all the chronic i'll health of this generation is caused by abnor- nal stomach conditions. In early and I would be selfish not to tell closer to nature and men and wo- men worked out of doors all day, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, did not exist. There was sickness but it was only temporary and very rare. There was little of this constant, half-sick condition with which so many are afflicted.
 'In the animal, or in any of the wild tribes of Africa or the South Sea Islands, or in uncivilized peo- pie in any quarter of the globe, you see no general debility, no nerve exhaustion. They are not shut up all day and they do not stuff them selves with food when their bodies have not had enough exercise to justify it. The American people have been doing this for years and the American stomach has in con- sequence grown slowly weaker.
 ''In America today there are tens of thousands who do not know what is the matter with them. Some nervousness, others kidney or liver trouble, or lung trouble or heart trouble. Many have been treated for all these things at various times A common complaint is all run down.

SAVE BUR CLOVER SEED
 WITHIN NEXT 20 DAYS

Bur clover seed is now ripening and if the seed is not saved within the next twenty days the crop will be lost. The supply of bur clover seed is so far below the demand in Arkansas that saving seed from this important crop is of great inn portance in the opinion of Harry F. Kapp, district farm agent with the Agricultural Extension Division.
 Farmers should save all the seed possible to help supply the demand if not for their own use," says MT. Kapp, ''for this is the most valuable forage crop sown in the fall and produces an excellent winter pas ture, growing all winter if the tenn perature does not get too low.
 "As soon as the seed has matur- ed wholly or in part, they drop off and lie on the ground. The best method for securing the seed is to
