RELEASE LARGE AREA
OF TICK QUARANTINE
Recent Government Order
Lifts Quarantine Against
Southern Cattle
An order signed by Secre
tary of Agriculture D. F. Hous
ton lifts on December 1, from
65,520 square miles in Southern
States the Federal iuaiantine
against movement of Southern
cattle. It is of great importance
to cattle raisers and dealers in
the North as well as those of
the South.
In regions infected by the
cattle tick it has not been held
safe to import better stock for
the improvement of Southern
herds because cattle freshlj,
brought in from regions where j
the tick is not prevalent are
especially prone to sicken and
die from the fever germs car
ried by the blood-sucking para
site. The federal quarantine
against the cattle tick, on the
other hand, has prevented the
shipment of cattle from infest
ed sections for use as stoekers
and feeders in free territory
only under quarantine restric
tions and for immediate slau
ghter.
The release order for De
cember 1, frees the largest
amount of territory ever liber
ated at one time since the Fed
eral campaign against the tick
was started in 1006, and ad
ded to 5,234 square mil: s freed
in March and September, wiM
make 1017 far the greatest
year so far in the annihilation
of the tick.
Nine Southern States will
benefit by the release or.ter.
The largest beneficiarv wi1- be
Mississippi, which will be en
tirely freed from quarantine
and will open a broad avenue
of tick-free territory from the
Northern states to the Gulf of
Mexico.

VISITS OLD HOME
Editor Journal.—W left
Newark Thursday morning in
Dr. Amerman’s car, and land
ed at Mrs. Fink’s brothers at
9 o’clock Friday night. But on
the last end of th > trip we had
fine roads and came like a
cyclone. Missouri sure has good
roads. •Saturday nv-ming 1
went to Licking. Mo., my old
home town, where I was raised
and wh re I went to school
when I was a bo-. But I can t
begin to tell the changes that
fourteen years have brought.
Many of the old s. ttlers a.r
dead, many moved away and
this don't seem like the old
home. Many that were chil
dren wh n 1 left now havcl. n -
ilies and all of them have
grown out of my knowledge.
But I have met a great many
of the old ones I used to as
sociate with and had sweet
memories of the long ago. The
old church, New Salem, had
arranged for a meeting for me
and I began the n.x day alter
I got her: and I am preaching
twice every day. We hope for
a great meeitng.

WHY THAT LAME HACK?
That morning lameness—those
sharp pains when bending or lifting,
make work a burden and rest impos
sible. Don’t be handicppaed by a
bad back—look to your kidneys. You
will make no mistake by following
this Newport resident’s example.
J. A. Baird, city fireman, 214 Main
St., Newport, Ark., says: “Sometimes
my back was in such bad shape that I
could hardly straighten after stoop
ing. I had dizzy spells and headache.s
and suffered from rheumatic pains
in my limbs. Doan’s Kidney Pills re
lieved me wonderfully.During the past
few years, I haven’t noticed any
backache or other symptoms of kid
ney trouble.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't -dm.
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills- the same thai

she says. “As my suf

She writes further: " I

in dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run

from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. thousands of
women prat o this medi

done them, and many
physicians who have used
