Then away we went to the barn with its model ar ranigeient for keeping tile stock sp araled so as to eliminate tile danger! of injuring one another and yet every head was fed from the same trough. Even tehl watering trough was an in novation, being supplied with a float, which automatically let on and shut off the flow of water to meet the nee essary requirements. The next place visited was the dwelling, a large two-story building, which i9 built of stoen and concrete, witlh wide inviting verandas, it is a modern dwelling in every respect being with running water throughout and evpr'y conveniece. And the place we went to see-the potato house-is a part of the dwell ing, being an ell. We afterwards learned, however, that it was by no means necessary that the la(ta'to house should be a part of the dwell Ing, bit that in this instance it sim Illy happened to be so. In this potato house we saw piled up on bulks of about three hundared bushels of lao tatoes in a iperfect state of preser'va tion. These were of the Lookout Mountain variety and had been growvn In the fall, Next we visited the warehouse, the cattle barni, the pig sty, and a clover field, where lpotatoes had been grown last fall. Tihien the party, accomiipanied by Mr., I harris, got into automobiles, andh took a Iripa of a few miles down the roadi silmplly to get a v'iew of the fartms in that section of Lauirens Countty.

About twelve years ago they cominenced to plant potatoes and they now plant about ten acres each a year, realizing more for them than any other crop. But they are farmers who diversify. They plant cotton, corn, wheat, oats, rye, clover, potatoes, and other crops, as well as raise cattle and hogs. They also raise their own mules. And one fine trait about these gentlemen is that they are not clan nish, but they like to entertain the stranger within their gates, and they do it. handsomely. Proper Food for Weak Stonmaehs. The proper food for one man may be all wrong for another. Every one and occupation. Those who have weak stomachs need to be esepecially care ful and should eat slowly and masti cate their food thoroughly. It is also important that they keel) their bow els regular. When they become con stipated or when they feel dull and stupid after eating, they should take Chamberalin's Tablets to strengthen the stomach andl move the bowels. They are easy to take and Ic:tnant in cffect. A S.ASSI NS' L , T TO KilL GONZ.ALS lionllis ';(1 e tred InI ('tiban Palace wias I1jed There to hill Pre--:ident 31-n..
