Education at Its Height

A GAIN do we find ourselves awed by the wonderful

Justly famous seat of learning, the University of Missouri

STRANGE FERNS

Plants that catch insects arc one
OF the most interesting growths IN
the vegetable world. but plants that
build nests are even stranger.
These nest building plants arc to
be found only in tho tropics one
variety is tho stag.h horn fern. The
plant has two kinds OF leaves one
IL like an ordinary fern leaf. upon
which arc borne the spores which
produce tho next generation OF
plnnts The other leaves turn up
wards and form n nest into which
deceying leaves and other debris
fall and thereby furnish the plant
with nourishment.
These strange ferns grow upon
tho trunks and branches OF trees
and have n curious partnership
with ants. Tho ants furnish nour-
ishing materials for tho plants and
the plants are n safe place for tho

Agar-medical science offers
safe and effective natural correc-
tive for constipation. 1t stinu-
lates the intestinal muscles to
normal action. The lubricating
effect of the oil makes it easier for
nature to expel all the waste
matter and poisons.
Mineral Oil, used alone, often
sceps through the intestines with
out removing all the poisonous
waste matter. The Agar-Agar in
Agrilin prevents this unpleasant
leakage. Its bulk causes the oil to
permeate through and soften the
unexpected mass.
Agrilin contains no harmful
drugs. None of it is absorbed in
the system. 1t is a mechanical
means of bringing nature back to
normal.
