BOdyPOisOn Cause of.
Many Health Worries
Found
Relief by
Using
Miller's
Herb
Extract

Dreadful pains in the lower part
of my stomach upset my nerves so
that I could not rest day or night,
I would get up in the morning feel
ing tired, ached all over and by
night could hardly stand on my
feet, such was part of the statement
received a short time ago from Mr..
r. e. Miller, 216 North Patrick street.
Continuing, he said: This Herb Ex-
tract formerly called Herb Juice)
soon had me feeling like a new per-
son and I can truthfully say that as
a body cleanser and system fegula-
tor there is nothing to equal it;
my system full of poison, the liver
was sluggish, even the sight of food
nauseated me and often after eat
ing would get so sick could not
keep from vomiting; the spells al
ways left me with nervous head
ache and nothing l used would ease
the pain. So many praised this medi-
cine that bought bottle; I cannot
begin to tell how much good 1t did
me and no one can fully realize the
glorious feeling this medicine brings
until they give 1t a trial. The first
few doses caused mild yet thorough
action on the liver and bowels,
seemed as though a heavy weight
was lifted from me and since then
have improved until I now feel as
though had never had pain or
ache. no longer suffer with my
stomach, food eat agrees with me,
I sleep like a log and get up ready
for a hard days work. My wife

DEALERS
AID To HOME

The National Association Of
Music Merchants has complained
to the American Institute Of
Architects that Sin recent years
small homes and apartments had
been designed by architects IN
such manner that space is lack
ing in which to place musical
instruments, such as an upright
or grand piano, or even a console
phonograph or radio receiving
SET"
The association requested that
the institute urge its members
to give Thoughtful consideration
to the problem. Replying the
executive committee of the In
stitute expressed the opinion that
most thoughtful architects do
provide such space In their de-
signs, and that 1t was unneces-
sary to bring the matter to the
attention Of the architectural
profession.

CONDUCT OF DOORS

There is scarcely anything more
maddening than a door that
sticks and jams in damp weather
and rattles when it's dry. Any
ordinary door will behave thus,
but one that is scientifically con-
structed will withstand all atmoS-
pheric changes. When building,
it would be we'll to investigate a
certain door that is built up in
layers, much in the same way as
good furniture. 1t is this arrange
ment Of the layers, with grain
running, in opposite directions,
that prevents tho swelling and
shrinking. This make of door
has been subjected to the most
grilling factory tests, and has
proved the claims of its manufac-
turers each time.

LOAN LEAGUE
To STABILIZE
HOME MART
Many Buyers er-Extended
BY Purchase Beyond Their
Means, Ayers R. H. Myers

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-A nation
wide campaign to stabilize realty
values by not allowing home
buyers to purchase domiciles. be
yond their means will be under
taken during the next few
months by the U. S. Building and
Loan League, according to r.
Holtby Myers, president.
Myers, who is Secretary-mana-
ger Of the Los Angeles Mutual
Building and Loan Association,
appointed a committee Of league
officers to see that home buyers
throughout the country do not
bite off more than they can pay
off. He believes that calling the
attention Of the public to the
fallacy Of keeping up with the
JoneSes" in so far as purchasing
too-expensive homes is concerned
will greatly aid in adjusting con-
ditionS throughout the country.
He said:
bad for Nation"
''Many people have q ten.
dency to undertake homes they
cannot afford, and this is bad
for the home owning move
ment, and bad for the country
I'm general. If such homes are
thrown back on the market,
no one really benefits from the
transaction. 1t would be bet
ter If the home had never been
built or sold. Unfortunately,
women are often behind the
tOO-expenSive home. They sigh
for the more pretentiOus fea-
ture5 in homes beyond the
family income, and their huS-
bands too often give them such
homes in an effort to keep
peace in the family. This has
diSasterOus results for the
realty and other markets.
''FOr even If the family is
able to meet the payments and
keep up home too high
priced for their financial status
and they are inevitably and
fOOlishly denying themselves
luxuries and even necessities to
do 50, and other markets suf-
fer. II family is putting all
OF its funds into q tOO-expen-
sive home, it often is unable to
purchase . car, p wishing ma
chine. railrO-.d tickets for trips;
sometimes this extends to the
purchase of good food"
d. C. Man Named
Myers made public a schedule
for the family with an income of
$1T5.00 a month. He says such a
family cannot possibly put more
than 100000 into a home, in
Guiding the site. The committee
will work out schedules for other
incomes and additional data,
which the 1900 member building
and loan associations of the
league will be asked to put before
prospects who apply for loans.

Increased Demand for Min
nesota Farms Is Seen
Optimistic Outlook Held by Secre.
tary of State Rural Credits
Bureau.

Stimulated demand and in.
creased values indicated gains in
the movement of Minnesota farm
lands, with prospects that hun
dreds of farms will change hands
at improved prices this year, H. H
Flowers, secretary Of the state ru-
raj credit bureau, said Monday.
Mr.. Flowers predicted that at
least $50 foreclosed farms will be
sold during 1880, and that the
movement is expected to be part
of general but gradual increase in
demand for Minnesota farm lands.
The close of the years work on
the part of the bureau, Mr.. Flow
ers said, revealed an optimistic
outlook and marked the following
accomplishments:
In the four and one-half year
period, since the present board. has
been in charge, foreclosures have
been reduced to 2 per cent of the
loans, while on loans made in the
two years previous to 1925, the ra-
ito of foreclosures was % per
cent.
During 1929 the bureau sold 1853
farms, comprising 22,881 acres,
$955,O00; % of them being sold for
cost of the value of the loan; 20 for
a loss of $28,806, and lis for a
gain of $39,75
The bureau as of 1880 had accu-
mulated surplus of $1,014,658
through it's operating profits.

SMALL FIRE FRIDAY

Friday morning the fire depart
ment were called to the AL Bohne
home in the southwest part of the
city. Lubricating oil was being
heated on the top of the kitchen
range. 1t boiled over, spread onto
the floor and for short time
things looked pretty dubious. The
alarm was turned in. They re-
sponded with their usual prompt
ness, but by the time they arrived
AL had the fire out. A small hole
was burned in the kitchen. Mr..
Bohne estimates the smoke and
fire damage at $4,000. He is cover

TOBACCO GROWERS SELL.

The farmers belonging to the
Sank Centre Tobacco Growers AS
ISOLATION sold their 1929 crop sew
Teral days ago to the Jefferson Leaf
Tobacco Co., of Sparta, Wis. They
shipped the tobacco directly from
Sank Centre to the Lorillord To-
bacco Co., of New York. About 80
farmers of this locality raised to-
bacco in 1929. The total receipts
for the crop was slightly in ex-
cess of $4,000. While the season
was unfavorable because of the
dry summer, it is understood that
the crop proved profitable one.
There will likely be more farmers
with an increased acreage growing
the crop in 1880.
