A LITTLE BOOST
FOR ARKANSAS
A Few of the Many Opportunities
and Advantages She Offers
the Han Who Hustles
Arkansas—she’s all right,
If you are a good farmer, this state
wants you and needs you, because only
about a (juarter of her domain is now
improved farm land. The only way j
the cultivated area can be increased is i
! by farming more farms, and incoming
i farmers are necessary to do this.
Arkansas offers you cheap produc- ;
tive land, a bountiful rainfall, glori
ous climate, cheering sunshine, hospi
table people, and splendid market.
Come to Arkansas—the Eden of the
expanding Southwest.
You can make money raising hogs
here.
We have one of the finest corn
countries in the world.
Alfalfa yields five crops a year on
bottom land.
Strawberries ripen deliciously and
plentifully in almost every section of
the state.
On the rolling hillsides )>each trees
will flourish and on the higher lands
apples are produced in great abun
dance-apples that are luscious, big
and profitable.
The opportunities for dairying and
the winter egg business are unexcelled.
You can get rich right here.
But it takes thrift and common
sense, honesty and pluck. Arkansas
is no place for the drifter or loafer.
Hogs and cattle are money-produc
ers. Come here and raise them —
make them your spcality, if your de-|
sire runs that way.
Arkansas —she’s all right.

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis
ease in the Body, and an
Easy Way to Cure it.
Take care of the stomach and you will
have little need for the doctor.
When the stomach begins to show
signs of disorder; when the food digests
slowly and w’ith discomfort; when you
have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy,
you are in a condition that needs atten
tion.
Prickly Ash Bitters comets the dis
ordered stomach by strengthening and
toning up the digestive organs, driving
the badly digested food into the bowels
and thence out of the system.
Constipation is nearly always pres
ent when the stomach becomes sour or
disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con
tains the medicinal qualities which act
ns a restorative and regulator for the
stomach and bowels. It strengthens the
digestive organs, cures constipation and
prevents the return of bilious conditions.
Thousands of people who have re
ceived lasting benefit from this great
remedy willingly testify to its power in
curing indigestion, constipation and kid
ney trouble.
“I suffered from constipation for year*, and
tried many remedies, but Prickly Ash Bitters i*
the only medicine that has ever done me any
good. Through its use I am now iti good health
and entirely free from all traces of my former
trouble.”—B. P. Stigall, Winasboro, Louisaua.
