“An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a
Pound of Cure.”
A disturbance of the even balance of
health, which often occurs in these trying
days of reconstruction may cause serious
trouble. Nobody can be too careful to
keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite, or
to get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness, or debility.
The system needs a tonic, craves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best ton-
ic that many people recommend is Hood's
Sarsaparilla. What this medicine has
done in keeping healthy people healthy, in
keeping up the even balance of health,
gives it the same distinction as a preven-
tive that it enjoys as a cure. Its early
use has illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that “a stitch in time saves nine.”
Preventive treatment now and then calls
for the use of a good cathartic or laxative,
like Hood’s Pills, which are purely vege-
table and act quickly and thoroughly..

Haste Now Will Make Waste with
Potatoes.
Do not rush the planting of pota-
toes in Pennsylvania, is the message
just given out by agronomists at The
Pennsylvania State ollege.
On account of the late and back-
ward spring and the labor shortage,
there will probably be a tendency to
rush planting with small regard for
seed bed preparation, plant food and
precautions against disease. With
seed potatoes selling at unprecedented
prices there is every reason to use
care and prevent a possible reduction
in yield.
Since most Pennsylvania potatoes
are of the late varieties and not for
an early market, there is not so much
need for haste in planting. Careful
plowing, deep and thorough tillage
with disk or spring tooth harrows, un-
til the soil is loose and fine almost to
plow depth, will pay in potato grow-
ing, even though it delays planting a
few days. Such preparation warms
the soil, promotes rapid and even
germination, and makes later cultiva-
tion easier and more effective.
Potatoes are not good foragers and
the scarcity of some one element may
easily reduce the yield below the prof-
it point. Where manure or a good
clover sod is plowed down, phosphoric
acid is generally the limiting factor,
and 500 pounds or moré of acid phos-
phate per acre will invariably be 2
good investment. The addition of some
readily available nitrogen, and on the
lighter soils, the use of some potash
generally proves profitable, especially
where manure is limited or lacking.
The nitrogen helps give a vigorous
start in a cool spring when the soil ni-
trogen becomes available rather slow-
ly and the potash adds vigor and dis-
ease resistance.

HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Loss of Appetite
Pimples and Other Eruptions—Men-
tal and Physical Weariness.
They are all common _at this time
of year, and are all indications that
the blood is wanting in the power to
defend the body against infectious and
contagious diseases, because they are
all indications that it needs cleansing,
enriching and vitalizing.
It is important to give them atten-
tion—it is in fact hazardous to neg-
lect them.
Get Hood’s Sarsaparilla today and
begin taking it at once, regularly
after eating and if convenient in a lit-
tle hot water.
Remember, this medicine has given
satisfaction to three generations, for
the blood, stomach, liver and kidneys.
It builds up the whole system. It
makes food taste good.
For a gentle laxative or an active
cathartic, take Hood’s Pills. You will
like them. 65-18

In The Home Sector, in writing of
this popular soldiers’ mart, Philip
VonBlon says: ‘Paris, in the declin-
ing days of the A. E. F., was a clear-
ing house for the venturesome souls
of the world. France always did have
a genius for attracting the naturally
combative spirits of the rest of the
world, and in the earliest days of the
war recruited the French Foreign Le-
gion of brave men from a score of na-
tions. So when the market of the late
war went stale, to Paris came the pro-
curers for the future wars of all the
little nations established by the peace
conference.
“A soldier of the A. E. F. lucky
enough to be discharged in France
could have enlisted any day last sum-
mer in Paris under one of a score of
brand new flags. The demand was for
trained soldiers with qualities of lead-

“Poland was able to offer, perhaps,
the most open and legitimate appeal
to the former fighter of the Allies.
While sympathy for the newly created
1epublic was still warm and there was
a general appreciation of the difficul-
ties it still had to face from its neigh-
bors, Germany and the rest, many
Americans volunteered their services.
To Poland already had gone the thous-
ands of Poles, by birth or descent, re-
cruited in America by France, and
shipped to their Fatherland by way of
Germany last spring after spending
many months in French training
camps.”
