SUFFERED SEVEN
LONG YEARS
Finally Relieved by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound
Ravenswood, W. Va.—“For seven long
years I suffered from a female trouble
land inflammation so
[that I was not able
jto do my housework.
11 consulted several
doctors but none
seemed to give me
I relief. I read in a
paper about Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vege-
I table Compound so
[I decided to try it,
land before the first
[bottle was gone I
ifound great relief so
I continued using it until I had taken
eight bottles. Now I am very well and
can do my own housework. I can gladly
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s medicine
to suffering women. ” —Mrs. Bertha
Liering, R. F. D., Ravenswood,W.Va.
• The ordinary day of most housewives
is a ceaseless treadmill of washing,
cooking, cleaning, mending, sweeping,
dusting and caring for little ones. How
much harder the tasks when some de-
rangement of the system causes head-
aches, backaches, bearing-down pains
and nervousness. Every such woman
should profit by Mrs. Liering’s experi-
ence. Remember this, for over forty
years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been restoring health.
Secured Lasting
Relief From Bad
Case of Indigestion
Dallas man suffered for years, yet
Ware’s Black Powder brought
quick and lasting relief, he says.
The remarkable value of Ware’s Blaek
Powder in the treatment of indigestion is
shown in the case of Mr. G. M. Anderson
of Dallas, who writes, under date of Sept.
9th, 1920:
“I suffered from indigestion for many
years, and got in such condition I could
not work at times. Ware’s Black Powder
was recommended to me, and I started tak-
ing it. After using two or three bottles
I was permanently relieved. I believe
Ware’s Black Powder is without an equal
for its recommended use.”
This wonderful remedy is sold by all
druggists for 60c and $1.20 the package.
Not a purgative. Contains no harmful
drugs. Forty years in use. Send for Dr.
Ware’s free booklet on digestive trouble.

Earnestly Praises EatonSo
“My wife was a great sufferer from
acid stomach for 10 years,” writes H.
D. Crippen, “but is a different woman
since taking Eatonic.”
Sufferers from acid stomach—let
Eatonic help you also. It quickly takes
up and carries out the excess acidity
and gases and makes the stomach cool
and comfortable. You digest easily,
get the full strength from your food,
feel well and strong, free from bloat-
ing, belching, food repeating, etc. Big
box costs costs only a trifle with your

LEGION
(Copy for This Department Supplied by
the American Legion News Service.)
ONE OF LEGION’S FOUNDERS
Col. Milton Foreman's Connection
Dates Back to the Original
Paris Caucus.
Col. ^Milton J. Foreman, national
executive committeeman of the Illi-
nois department
of the American
Jlillik Legion, is a Chi-
eago lawyer, who
for many years
j||pW has been active
~ Jlr in public and mil-
* itary affairs. His
connection with
mggr' v the Legion dates
Hback to the orig-
inal Paris caucus
at which time the
idea of forming a
Legion was con-
ceived. At that
meeting he was named chairman of
the temporary executive committee.
Returning to the United States, he
was elected commander of the Illinois
department. In 11 months the mem-
bership in Illinois increased from 19,-
000 to more than 65,000, and the num-
ber of posts from 220 to 682.
While serving with the First Illi-
nois cavalry, in 1894, Mr. Foreman ac-
quired an active interest in military
affairs. He served with that organi-
zation during the Spanish-American
war and rose to the rqnk of .captain.
After the war Mr. Foreman began
the practice of law in Chicago, and be-
came major in the First cavalry. In
1914 he was promoted to lieutenant
colonel, and two years -later commis-
sioned colonel of the regiment. He
was in command of that organization
during the border troubles.
With the outbreak of the World war,
Colonel Foreman requested the trans-
fer of his regiment to field artillery,
which was effected in June, 1917. Col-
onel Foreman took the regiment to
France in 1917 and commanded it
throughout the war. He received
three citations for gallantry and was
awarded the Distinguished Service
Medal for achievements in the St.
Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives.
While not in the military service,
Mr. Foreman practiced law in Chica-
go and took an active interest in pub-
lic affairs throughout the state. In
1899 he was elected to the Chicago
city council and served six consecutive
terms. He was chairman of the Chi-
cago charter convention whose work
has become a model for planners of
new city charters.

“Let’s keep it

Kurtz, Kansas na-
tional executive
committeeman of the American Le-
gion. “Let’s walk to Washington and
tell them what the Region wants for
its disabled and for its whole member-
ship.”
According to Mr. Kurtz’ plan, dele-
gates from each state department of
the Legion would hike overland to the
nation’s capitol, arranging their sched-
ules so as to meet on the White House
steps on the same day. However, he
would permit representatives from the
other side of the Rockies to ride the
cushions across to this side.
Legion posts along the way would
feed and shelter the hikers. “I’ll lead
the way, and outwalk anyone in the
Legion,” the Kansas pedestrian de-
clares.
C. O. D.
An old darky visited a doctor and
received instructions as to what he
should do. Shaking his head, he was
about to leave the office, when the
doctor called out:
“Hey, there, uncle, you forgot to
pay me.”
“Pay you fo’ what?”
“For my advice.”
“Nossuh, boss, I’se compluntated it
from all angles and decided not to
take it.”—American Legion Weekly.
Second Hand.
“I want two sheets of fly paper,”
said the lady entering the corner gen-
eral store.
The none-too-brilliant clerk extracted
two sheets from the window.
“Ten cents,” he said.
“How embarrassing! I’ve only a
nickel with me.”
“Aw, I s’pose you cm have the two
fer five cents,” he grumbled. “They’re
half full of flies already.”—American

SPRAYING IS PROFITABLE WORK

^ '
Gasoline Power Sprayer in Operation for Control of Codling Moth.
(Prepared by the ~ United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Spraying, compared with its cost, is
one. of the most profitable forms of
orchard work, and one of the most
likely to be neglected or misdirected’,
according to specialists of the. United
States Department of Agriculture.
There is need that fruit growers have
a more intimate knowledge of spray-
ing materials, spraying machinery, and
especially the whys and wherefores
of spraying. The up-to-date orchard-
ist must know just what each spray
application will do and the proper
time and method for applying it.
Necessary to Know How Insects Feed.
A better knowledge of the life and
habits of the more common insect
pests and of the nature of insecticides
will add much to the efficiency of con-
trol measures. The general character
of sprays to be used depends on the
character of the mouth parts of the
insects.
Broadly speaking, all insects secure
their food in one of two ways: (1)
By actually biting out and swallowing
portions of the food material; (2)
by sucking out the juices. The first
type includes caterpillars or the
larvae of moths and butterflies, adult
beetles and their grubs, grasshoppers,
crickets, sawflies and their larvae,
bees, etc.
All biting insects are subject to de-
struction by arsenicals or other stom-
ach poisons. Some biting insects,
however, such as borers and certain
root-infesting forms, do not feed in
situations where poisons may be ap-
plied, and for these ai different treat-
ment is necessary.
Among sucking insects may be list-
ed plant lice, scale insects, leafhop-
pers, the pearpsylla, and the true bugs,
all very important enemies of the fruit
grower. For their control the so-
called contact sprays are used, sprays
that corrode the body or permeate the
breathing spores of the pests or other-
wise effect their destruction.
Biting and sucking insects often oc-
cur in a way to permit their destruc-
tion by poisoning the air which they
breathe, as with hydrocyanic-acid gas
or carbon disulphide, but in many
cases the expense and danger make
this method impracticable.
Summer spraying is directed against
bud, leaf, and fruit-eating insects, and
for these arsenicals chiefly are used.
Dilute contact insecticides are also
employed in the control of certain in-
sects, such as aphids, red bugs leaf-
hoppers, etc.
The arsenicals in most common use
are arsenate of lead, paris green, and
arsenate of lime, used as strong as
the foliage will stand. The foliage
of stone fruits, as cherry, plum, and
peach, is on the whole quite tender,
and on these arsenicals must be em-
ployed with caution.
The important insecticides may be
grouped principally into these three
series:
Stomach poisons for biting insects—
arsenate of lead, paris green, arsen-
ate of lime, arsenate of soda, arsen-
ite of lead, -arsenite of lime, arsenite
of soda, Scheele’s green, London pur-
ple, white arsenic, hellebore, etc.
Contact sprays for sucking insects—
lime-sulphur solution, self-boiled lime-
sulphur mixtures, fish-oil soap wash,
kerosene emulsion, crude-petroleum
emulsion, distillate emulsion, nicotine
solution, pyrethrum, caustic soda,
caustic potash, cai*bolic-acid emulsion,
sulphur spray, resin, resin wash.
For fumigating, the specialists rec-
ommend hydrocyanic-acid gas, carbon
disulphide, or sulphur dioxide. These
are effective against all classes of in-
sects when it is desirable to use them.
Arsenate of Lead Most Widely Used.
Arsenate of lead is the best known
and most extensively used stomach
poison for insects. It has a wider
range of usefulness than any other
internal poison now available. It is
safe for use on the foliage of most
plants, has good adhesive qualities,
and owing to its fineness, remains in
suspension well in water. Moreover,
it can be safely combined with cer-
tain contact sprays, as nicotine, ker-
osene emulsion, soaps, etc., and with
a number of fungicides such as lime-
sulphur mixture, and bordeaux mix-
ture. It should not be combined with
sodium or potassium sulphides.
Commercial arsenate of lead may
be obtained as paste or powder. Pow-
der is coming into extended use by I
reason of the convenience with which
it may be handled and stored, and the
saving in freight by the absence of
water. Paste arsenate of lead, how-
ever, may be stored from year to year
if properly covered with water to pre-
vent drying, and protected from freez-
ing temperatures.
This method for home-made prep-
aration of arsenate of lead will give
a good product without any material
waste of chemicals, and will require
a minimum amount of time. For ev-
ery pound of lead arsenate it is de-
sired to make, use either of these:
Ounces
Sodium arsenate. (65 per cent)............ 8
Dead acetate (sugar of lead)............. 22
Or this formula:
Ounces
Sodium arsenate (65 per cent)........... 8
Lead nitrate .................................18
Information touching methods of
spraying, and directions for using the
various preparations are contained in

DIVERSIFICATION IS
HELP TO ENTERPRISE
Lessens Risk of Loss From Crop
Failures.
Promotes Better Utilization of Vari-
ous Equipment and Permits Ro-
tation of Crops, Say Agri-
cultural Specialists.
(Prepared by »the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Diversification of the farm business
by the production of several salable
products, lessens the risk of loss from
crop failure and low prices, promotes
better utilization of- teams and ma-
.chnery, permits rotation of crops, and
on ,the whole is conducive to the safe-
ty and stability of the enterprise, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
If the farm - selected is so situated
that it is desirable to grow only one
product, the reliability of that prod-
uct, both as to production and as to
sale, should be assured. If the climate
is such that only a limited class of
crops will thrive or mature, the grow-
ing season may be so short that cer-
tain crops essential to a good rotation
can not be grown. It should be made
doubly sure that climatic conditions,
such as rainfall, period of drought, late
spring or early fall frosts, hailstorms,
strong winds, hot winds, fogs and hu-
midity do not seriously limit the de-
velopment \of a well-balanced farm
organization. Many farmers have failed
through failure to give proper atten-
tion to this problem.
Equally important in this regard
with market and climatic limitations
are soil and topography. A soil may
grow beans, corn, oats and timothy,
but not clover, an essential crop for
many rotations, or the soil may be too
sandy for some crops. It may blow
badly or wash when intertilled crops
are used in the rotation. It may be
too poor, or subject t6 leaching, or
alkali, or drought. These conditions
may not necessarily limit all the crops,
yet be so unfavorable as to limit cer-
tain crops on which proper diversifica-
tion of the business must be built.
WEEDS ARE GREAT NUISANCE
Constant Source of Troubles to
Farmer in Raising Crops—Steal
Nourishment From Plants.
The farmer does not have to be told
that weeds are a constant source of
trouble to him in tha raising of his
crops. They not only cause him a
great deal of extrh work from early
spring until late fall, but they are an
eyesore and seriously interfere with
the best crop yields. On every farm
they are a nuisance and when we stop
to think of how “commPii they are
throughout the country, how rapidly
they spread, and how much nourish-
ment they take from the growing
crops we are really surprised to know
that farm crop yields have been
brought up to their present high aver-
age.
Tea for Traveler*.
The Chinese, on their new-built rail-
ways, have established a service which
in Its line is beyond anything we
know in this country. It is free boil-
ing water. At each Important sta-
tion there is a boiler under a queer
looking circular roof which looks like
a huge umbrella. The traveler can
help himself from one of several taps.
Why boiling water? For making tea,
of course. Tke traveler brings his
teapot, or at least a cup, along with
him; also some tea. He gets his fav-
orite beverage fresh, just as it would
be made/ at home.
Finger Nail’s History.
The rapidity of the growth of the
nails is indicative of the health. The
growth of the nails on the right hand
is in most people more rapid than of
those on the left hand. Another curi-
ous point is, that the rate of growth
of the nail depends directly on the
length of the finger! Thus the nails
on the two middle fingers of men
grow more rapidly than those on the
first and third fingers, respectively,
and these in turn are more speedy in
their growth than those on the little
fingers.
Significance of Dream of Pump.
To dream of a pump signifies that
you may with study* become a great
musician, artist or actor, as your in-
clination leads you; development is
all you require; you have genius. To
pump water from a well signifies that
you will learn something to your ad-
vantage. But if milk comes from the
pump it signifies unexpected wealth.
If wine or whisky, it denotes much
happiness and good fellowship.
Inventor of the Zeppelin.
Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, Ger-
man inventor, one of the foremost aer-
onauts of the world at the beginning
of the Twentieth century, died in 1917.
While many of the expectations of the
Zeppelin were realized, it was appar-
ent late in 1916 that the smaller, fleet-
er aircraft of the monoplane and bi-
plane type were better adapted to al-
most all kinds of warfare, and the
aged inventor died in the knowledge
that successful conquest with his In-
vention was impossible.
Greatness In Every One’s Makeup.
You were made to master unfavor-
able conditions, made to rise above
what others regard as misfortunes,
handicaps and stumbling-blocks.
There Is something In you that is big-
ger than any fate or destiny, anything
which is trying to do you; something
In you that Is mightier than the influ-
ence of others which is trying to keep
you back. There is something in you
that can laugh at fate.—Orison Swett
Marden.
How Dates Grow.
The Arabs live almost entirely on
this fruit when crossing the desert
The date is the fruit of the date-palm,
which grov7s best in Persia, Palestine,
Arabia, and the North of Africa. The
stem reaches a height of 50 feet-to
70 feet and throws on a magnificent
crown of large leaves and a number
of spadices. In the female plant these
bear bunches of dates weighing from
20 to 25 pounds.
Trapped.
“Cross-examined, the defendant said
he had merely kissed the young wom-
an in the case under a sprig of mis-
tletoe.” “Ah ! A clever defense. What
did his wife say to that?” She sniffed
loud enough to be heard in the cor-
ridors of the courthouse and begged
to inquire if he carried a sprig of
mistletoe suspended over his roadster.”

American Caves Things of Beauty.
The deepest cave known in the world
Is one found near Frederlckshall, Nor-
way, it being 11,000 feet. Think of it,
almost two miles tfeep! But it Is worth
the trip down into its depths, for many
of the wonders of nature are to be
found there. However, when It comes
to real beauty and interest there are
no caves that can excel those' of our
own country.
Small Things Cause Discord.
It Isn’t the long journey on foot that
makes you footsore but it Is the grain
of wheat In your shoe or the wrinkle
In your sock. It Isn’t the thousand
miles your auto runs that wears it out
but the grain of sand In the bearings.
Little things make discord. Little
things disturb our happiness.
