I—Ptof1 —Ptof G. I. Christie, well known agricultural head at Purdue University, who Is to lead in the Near East Relief appeal for grain for starving | Armenia, has selected an agricultural committee of the best known farmers and grain men of Indiana to lead the campaign during September and October. State headquarters of Near East Relief has fixed Indiana's quota of grain at 124 cars of corn and thirtyseven cars of wheat. An agricultural committee selected by Prof. Christie and approved by Governor McCray, honorary chairman of Near East Relief, consists of I. Newt.

Bush, secretary to Governor McCray will also act with the committee. The appeal for food from the Russian Caucasus, Armenia and the Bible lands should have a special significance in Indiana, the relief organization believes. It is the farming classes who are starving in the Near East. Plana have l>qen perfected whereby ail corn and w-heat donated by Indiana farmers will be converted into food stuffs for the Bible lands without the deduction of one cent from the value of the original contribution of grain. This is not a new drive, it is a continuation of the drive of last spring when the American farmers pledged 5,000,000 bushels of cqrn and wheat to this cause. Elevators of the state will act as receiving stations for the grain free of charge, it is announced. The movement is national with Senator Arthur Capper at the head.

My stomach would have been a valuable ‘addition to a gas factory. Doctors did not seem to relieve me. One day my druggist got me to try Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy, and I am now as good as new.” It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.
