Says Most Everyone
Has Stomach Ulcers

Chicago up = Most persons
have ulcers of the stomach and
don't know it, states DIR. H. E.
Robertson of Rochester, Mimi, in
the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
Food and drink intemperances,
poisons, local infections, fevers,
anemias and emotional disturb
ances cause hemorrhages in the
mucous membranes of the stom-
ach. The tissue dies and is di-
gested by the stomach juices,
leaving an ulcer which nature re-
pairs.
DR.. Robertson says chronic ul-
GERS result from the stomach's
failure to repair the LESSONS and
that medical science has not fully
determined the reason for this.

We had a perfect record in
health inspection this week for
the whole room.
Friday morning we had a spell
down. Dean Warner and Darlene
Davis were captains and chose

and the duties of the postal en-
ployees. We learned how to adj

When it is all said and done sub
stantial recovery will come only
when the farm industry again pro-
pers. All taxes and wages are fin
ally passed back to the soil and be-
fore anything else can be put upon
a sound and prosperous basis the
tillers of the soil are going to have
to be made to prosper. In our opin-
ion until this comes to pass every
thing else that is done will afford
but temporary relief. We have gone
too long on the theory that if 9TH
er industry prospers the country
will prosper and with it the farm
industry. The past six years have
proven that this is not true. The
farm industry is still badly demon
allied. We believe the next effort
to break the depression should be
centered on the farm industry. APP
preaching the matter from any
other angle is like warming the
hands to relieve frozen feet.

An Oklahoma barber has been ar

the state barber board says the
minimum price should be forty
cents The federal government
makes illegal an agreement between
members Of trade who seek to set
minimum prices or agree what
prices shall be, yet q group In a
state can accomplish the same thing
and the courts uphold it. Where Is
the difference whether q group &C
complishes . control Of prices with

thing? II anything, the establish
ment Of minimum prices by legis-
lattve enactment Is more binding
than q simple agreement among

these had their way the soldier
would be compelled to go out bare

In the past when conditions got
too bad In this country we ran away
from them, left competitive fields,
went west and settled on new land.
When we had robbed this Of its fer
tility, and taxes began to mount,
we ran away from our problems
again and went further west. We
can't do that any more. There Is no
new land to occupy and no new
frontiers for pioneers. We are go
ing to have to stay put and solve
our problem, and maybe 1t is . good
