Modern Laxative Based on New
 Discovery

Science now knows that the suc- cess of any laxative depends on proper internal distrbution-thar unless it is throughly and evenly distributed throughout the intesti- nal tract irregular and unsatisfactory action will result.
 This explains the success of the modern chewing laxative known as Feen-a- mint AS you chew this delicious gum, the tastless laxative it contains is mixed with the saliva and carried to the intestinal tract evenly, smoothly, without shock to the system.
 Because of it's thorough distribu- ton, you will find Feen-a a-lnint ef- fective in milder doses than ordi- nary laxatiyes. With the proper dosages it is not necessary to in crease the amount of Feen-a mint you take nor to switch to another laxative for a change. Feen- mint is harmless and contains no habit forming drugs. Therefore it is truly the health laxative. Ask for . package at any drug store.-Adv.

lieves. This late in the season
there are few crops which may be
planted now and utilized yet this
year for forage. Rye sown late in
September, however, will make suf-
ficient growth to provide forage for
next spring. The situation In some
parts of the state, notably in south
ern counties is serious, Lewis learn
ed from county agricultural agents.
Many of this years grass seedlings
have been killed by drought, and
pastures burned almost beyond re-
covery for this season. Soy beans
and sudan grass, recommended un-
til two weeks ago by university
farm crops department, were not
widely used for emergency crops.
because of impossibility of prepar-
ing seed beds under continued
drought conditions. The use of rye,
too, depends upon rains during Aug
ust to put soil in condition for seed
ing. 1t is now too late for planting
soy beans, ad sudan grass this late
in season will probably not make as
growth as rye
