STOMACH TROUBLE
Mr. Marlon Holcomb/of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite
a long while I suffered, with stomach trouble. I would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. I began to have
regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were

me. I keep it in the house ail ‘the time. It is the best
liver medicine made. I do not have sick headache or
stomach trouble any more.” Black-Draught acts on
the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of
throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys

ONE CENT A DOSE
THE SOUTH MUST
LOOK AFTER ITSELF
- _• Washington, D. C., Feb.—“If the
South neglects this year to provide
[ .j^her own food and feed, she is likely to
suffer serious privation, and she will
j ' put a burden upon the Nation which
_ _may prolong the war and even imper
il our victory,” rays Clarence Ousley,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
“I am aware that these are strong
words,“ continues Secretary Ousley,
“but they are none too strong. I am
not expressing, an alarmist personal
opinion. I am seeing through the
eyes of 48 agricultural colleges and
of county agents in nearly every ag
ricultural county. I have reecntly
crossed the continent from the At
lantic to the Pacific. I have studied
* gathered by the depart-
mc|§S!jL8,000 representatives and as
' more employees of the agricul-
fural colleges. I have considered the
conclusions of the International In
stitute of Agriculture at Rome
! which has reports from all the world.
! “The plain hard truth is that with
• 40 million people withdrawn from
( productive industries and engaged in
the business of destruction, it is not
humanly possible for production .on
thew hole to extend moral demand.
The question is whether production
’ can equal necessitous demand.
! “England, France, and Italy must
be sustained or their poulation can-
4iot stand the strain. They have been
on scanty rations for more than three
'years. Thee hief cause of Russia’s
collapse was hunger. Soldiers can
not fight when their wives and chil
dren are starving.
“Secretary McAdoo has given warn
ing that transportation may be lack
ing in 1918, to haul food and feed to
states that do not provide for them
selves. Many cattle have been sacri
ficed in thed routbs regions of the
northwest and the southwest during
disaster to the nation. For any man
now to determine his business opera
tions from the standpoint of profit
alone, without regard to the nations
needs, is for him wilfully to profiteer
in the blood of his fellows who are
fighting in France for the preserva-
I tion of the. republic. No man can be
i excused for not taking his share of
ithe responsibility.
| “My whole life has been spent in
the South. I know the Southern
farmer. He will do his duty as he
sees it. I am appealing to every man
in the South to make known these
facts—to consider it his business to
make them known—and I shall have
, no doubt of the results. If they are
j not made known in a way to impress
• the crisis that confronts us, there may
be'bynger in this bounteous lard or
hunger over yonder in Europe, where
it will spell ruin for all that is worth
'while in America.

“now sweeping over the South, and
Is going to give us a crop increase of
at least a fourth.”
Mr. Jobson has Invented a plow—
that's all. He hasn't wrought out a
new rapid-fire man-killer or fashioned
a model eword; but be has. It It
thought, produced an idea that will
make available, without a penny of
extra cost, thousands of tons of ust-
ural fertilizers that have lain dor
mant right under the feet of the
farmers of the country, but which have
been so completely locked up In the
soli that they have heretofore been
of no profit whatever.
The Jobson System of soil cnltl-
vatlon and this remarkable plow will.
It Is claimed, open up new possibili
ties In soil tillage that have hereto
fore been impracticable and entirely
beyond the reach-of the backbone of
this country—the "onehosB farmer.”
With Its simplicity and practical
adaptability to the oue, two or threo-
—horse stock; its easy adjustment to
clay, loamy, hard or shallow land;
Its peculiar handling of the soli, so
that It can he worked several days
earlier than the ordinary plow In
wet land, and 11a wonderful digging
