He has been a consplciouS figure in bath branches and has had a hand in the shaping or passing of every Important piece of our legislation In the past quarter of a century. The Senator Is not spectacular. One of the most able parliamentar ians in the Country. he has labored in a knowing and effective may to accomplish those things he has undertaken. He- cares hot for the pride of authorship.

He lias already come to within a step of It. In his acceptance of the proffer of the Kansas delegation he says he will not be a stalking . horse for any other candidate. That's Curtis. He means he is out to ride to win. I ?" f ^ >1 Gives Fertilizer Mixture* For The Tobacco Crop Raleigh. N. C.. Nov! 21.? Field Tests and (arm practices have determined the best fertilizer mixtures to use under tobacco for highest production and quality. These mixtures were agreed on recently at a conference of the BfgShomists of the southern , states presided over by Prof. C. B. i Williams of State College. | The findings of this committee were released last week and contain some interesting facts for the tobacco: grower. The agronomists state that ] the best mixture for bright fiud cured j tobacco is an 8-3-5 except for the gray soils with red subsoils where an 8-3-3 1$ recommended. For the light , less productive soils, an 8-4-6 is ad vised All of these" should be applied ct the rate of 800 to 1,200 pounds per acre. If sand-drown occurs in the soils use at .least two percent of, magnesia on the land derived from the potash j Nurse Advises WEAK, RUN-DOWN WftMrM WUmtN To Take Cardui "I have known of Cardui for nearly twenty-five years," says Mrs. Selma Meissner, 1072 Harrison Ave., Beaumont, Texas. "During that time, I have taken it several times and hove frequently recommended it to others, for it is a splendid medicine and I am glad to give peo ple the benefit of my experience. "I have been a nurse for several years and have often come in con tact with patients who were run down and weak. Often I have told sufferers of Cafdui, and the way I, myself, had been helped after tak ing it, and advised them to give it a trioL Many of them have since thanked me tor what I told them, so I am willing that other women should know aDout it, too. "I first took Cardui because I was awfully run-down. I had no appe tite, and was weak and listless. It was hard to keep going under such conditions, and I looked for some thing which would help me. "I had read of Cardui and decided to try it. After taking it, I improv ed so much that I have taken it since whenever I needed a tonic."

A he ays ask for it try name. carriers or from dolomitic limestone. The committee recommends that the phosphoric add come from acid phosphate. The potash should come from sulphate of potash-magnesia, sulphate muriate or high grade- of potash. Tests show that the muriate sometimes - make better yields and good quality of weed but the chances are that it will give too much chlor ine which affects the burning quality and the potash carriers should be so used that not orer two percent cf chlorine is in the fertilizer mixture. The nitrogen should come one-half from the oragantc sources like cot tonseed meal and flsh scrap and the other hair from urea or the inorgan ic sources such as nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia. . At least one fourth of the total nitrogen should be from nitrate of soda. For dark tobaccos, the . committee recommended an 8-S-3 mixture ap piled at the rate of 600 to 1.000 pounds per acre with the materials from the same sources as for the light tobacco. o Mrs. Youngbrlde ?
