Operated On For
Appendicitis
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENT TO
BE ANNOUNCED LATER

Many times, no doubt, you have
seen the above headline in your
newspaper. Very often it has told
of some friend suddenly stricken
with dread appendicitis. The news.
papers, however, neglect to state
that appendicitis is usually preced.
ed by stomach trouble. They don t
tell you that the afflicted person
suffered frequent attacks of heart
burn long before he went to the
hospital.
While heartburn is not always a
sign of an inflamed appendix, it is
always q warning that something is
wrong. In many cases it results
from Indigestion, which is one of
the predisposing causes of appen-
dieitis.
If you suffer from burning,
gnawing sensation in the stomach,
excessive gas, sour stomach, nausea
or other distress after eating, go ut
once and obtain bottle of Smith
Bros NJ. A. c., the guaranteed
stomach treatment. This pleasant,
harmless liquid rids the stomach of
catarrhal mucus, allays inflamma-
tion, helps digestion and cleanses
the bowels of poisonous waste mat
ters. Price $l.25. Money back if
the first bottle does not relieve.

and leave peaceably in compliance

into southern Oklahoma. There is
practically no unemployment.
An unusually large harvest, both
of small grains and of cotton, is
expected, because of the large in
crease in acreage, most of which
is virgin soil and because of favor
able weather conditions.
As far as the entire state of Tex
as is concerned, prosperous crop
year is predicted by George b. Ter
rell, commissioner of agriculture.
Although Terrell pointed out that
it was too early to make crop yield
estimates, he declared that cotton
acreage is larger this year than
last; the condition of cotton is grad
ually improving and the oats and
wheat yield is large enough to bring
