D., in his book entitled, "Wear and Tear" has well said, "To insure perfect health, every tissue, bone, nerve, ten don or muscle should take from the blood certain materials and return to it certain others .... This process in perfect health is a system of mutual assurance, and is probably essential to a condition-of-entire vigor of both mond and body." Man is a millionaire many timesj over in the possession of blood cells. Woman is not quite so rich, for scient ists have proved that the normal num ber of red blood cells in adult men is five million; in women four and one half million to the square millimeter. . The normal cell is not absolutely round in health but in disease bo comes exeremely irregular in shape. Every one can be in perfect health anct possess the millions of rich red blood corpuscles if he only knows how to go about it. Dr. Pierce, of the Surgi cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., advises every man and woman to purify tie blood by observing nature's laws. Tn the first place, if your digestion is faulty, and the food jrou e?t is not properly assimilated and taken un by the bloodVyou need a tonic and liges tive corrector, something that will in crease the red blood corpuscles; he believes in going about this in nature's own way. Years ago, in his active prac tice, Dr. Pierce found that an alter ative extract of certain herbs and roots put up without alcohol, or in tablet form, would put the liver, lungs and heart into more complete action. This medicine he-called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. By pro moting assimilation it nourishes the blood, and instead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the person's blood takes on a rich red color and the corpuscles are more nearly round. Advt.

N. C Claims Injury Done Investors (Special to. The Dispatch.) Raleigh, March Landowners 6 tfee stage who have recently come into the , worii flinjr tn ntl1 fro . n- the State and bought half-a-nunarep: thousand acres of the soil in Beaufort, Hyde, and Washington counties, have made demand on the State to return to them 200 acres used in the Wenona Test Farm, because the literature sent out has done harm. The Board of Agriculture will have this to pass upon when it meets in June. The direct cause of the demand for its return is a bulletin of Director B. W. Kilgore, whose findings, the landlords say, have imperiled the pros pects of the immigation and settle ments planned by. these moneyed mep. The Norfolk Southern railroad and in dividuals connected with that corpora tion have recently bought 40,000 acres in one tract and Mark Potter added 10,000 in another. But the Kilgore bulletin, which indicates the excessive acidity of lands on the test farm, is driving them away or will do so, It is declared. More than that, the Department of Agriculture finds itself arrayed against itself. Dr. Kilgore's experimentation on one side of a ditch is as different from that of J. L. Burgess, botanist and agronomist, as the gulf between Dives and Lazarus made those two iWell known entlemen. These empire builders came into the State and bought up more than 50, 000 acres of the eastern land. They gave the State 200 acres on which to conduct the test farm. Doctor Kil gore, director of the Agricultural Ex tension Service, issued Bulletin No. 32, which made these animadversions on the lands thereabouts: "At the present time we have enough information from our results at the Wenona Farm to justifv all expenditures that have been made there and in soil survey work in . M .4 1 ' the whole eastern portion of the State. The information we have is of immediate and direct practicable i it piPnriv heen den demonstrated that the liberal use of all forms and com binations of fertilizer used at the Wenona Test Farm did not prove profit able until lime was added. As a mat- ! first been corrected by the use of lime. For these soils in this present condi tion, at least two tons of lime will have to be used before their sourness is en tirely overcome and they are put in condition so that crops can make the most satisfactory growth." Burgess Says "No." Mr. Potter, who is one of the dis- tmcruisneri nariv oi maiviuuai ubvuiuu- 'ers. has . 10.000 acres of land in the lonst Tie read the bulletin issued bv the Commissioner of Agriculture sent Mr. Burgess down there. Mr. Potter said that he could make no complaint if the purvey and criticism of Dr. Kil gore referred solely to Wenona Test Farm. "Such language," he declares, "would have a depressing effect as to all the black soil lands and as to such the effect would be unjust and in jurious. As one engaged in an ex pensive effort to develop a substantial portion of the eastern section of the State, I trust I may rely on your de partment for co-operation to the ex tent of at least investigating the land in the Terra Ceia section, and consid ering whether the results of that in vestigation should be specifically dealt with in one of your publications." And Mr. Burgess made an examina tion of the lands of the Test Farm at Wenona, as well as those just a few feet away. The water table, he de clares, on Wenona Test Farm "stood close to the surface, the growth of corn was very poor and in no way rep resented the average crop in that sec tion on well drained lands." But Mr. Burgess did not find the acidity re ferred to. He did discover the water logged soils, the result of inadequate draining, and he said the water flowed so slowly in' the ditches that often it was not easy to tell in which direction it ran. Mr.' Burgess in describing the lands of private individuals separated from the State's property by a ditch two feet wide and three feet deep, said "there was found a crop of ungathered corn that was estimated, by parties who examined it, to yield from 50 to 65 bushels of com to the acre. The edge of this field, as stated above, was ' not more than 10 feet from the ex perimental corn plats on the Wenona Test Farm. The owners of this neid stated that neither iime nor fertilizer had ever been used on the land. So far as they know, nothing had been used on any of the land since it was "reclaimed. But it was thoroughly well; drained." The test farm had grown j only water grass, corn stalks being the! size of one's thumb, it was said. . j : The circular has raised a row and: no mistake about that. The demand for "them presents back" of course has embarassed the folks here a trifle, and the board will have to do something when it meets. The report of Mr. Bur-1 gess adverts to Mr. Potter's; statement that, the bulletin leaves the prospect ive resident to infer that this section is one in which not eveii fertilizers will do any good until lime . "has been add ed at the rate of two tons to the acre." The circular would have stated the exact truth had it said this is the one section of North Carolina where satis factory crops cah, tie grown without any form of, fertilizer whatever, but,, instead of giving this correct Idea of the situation, the circular, as Mr, Pot ter shows, gives, one . a depression of spirits . by conveying the idea that no man can farm profitably in North Car olina without the use of fertilizers, and these are the soils on which not even fertilizers pay until the land is treat ed by some other process of soil doc y r THE STUDIOS ftlNG WlTK ATRIO TISM.

Although the world outside was dark, everybody had forgotten dinner engagements and the dances scheduled for the evening, so absorbed were they in their work. I had just started to play the last scene I was to do that day when some one Who had been to town all day came in calling: "War! War!" America has severed relations and things are in a bad state." Immediately everyone who was not working before the camera at that par7 ticular moment rushed forward and scanned the glaring headlines of a newspaper that had been brought in. It was all I could do to keep on with my scene. As I repeated my lines and went through the performance thoughts of horrible conflicts flashed; through my mind, and I found it nec And finally the agronomist declares ! that whereas the bulletin leaves thej impression that the lands surveyed are ' the poorest in the State, they are the richest, not only in North Carolina, but among the finest in the whole world. Whether this controversy will go further is not known. The depart ments have not always agreed. This i protest of the land owners coupled with the demand from some of them, that the State return its acreage which furnished the text for a general black eye to the black lands, would naturally bring on additional talk.- The repudi-j ation by the department of a bulletin issued from an allied department nat urally makes an unusual controversy. Commissioner Graham has always relied on the work of Mr. Burgess and that gentleman's report is direct enough to please all who dislike to hear a spade called "an agricultural implement." It will doubtless please those who, having bought half counties of what they supposed the richest and sweetest of lands, find Kilgore, lemons most acid and most arid.

While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or wo yxrnr hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis- ease. Advt. n DARKEN TRY A DISPATCH DO YOf BUY I - " a i . .4.
