REDUCING COST OF LIVING IS A PATRIOTIC DUTY Potato Is King; Here Are Po tato Faets For the Amateur Gardener ( Let me suggest that everyone who creates or cultivatea a garden helps, and helps greatly to solve the prob lem of the feeding of the nations, every man and every woman assume the duty of careful, provident use and expenditure as a public duty, as a dictate of patriotism which no one can now expect ever to be ex cused or forgiven for ignoring. WOODROW WILSON, show of flags in these stirring times is good for the soul and good for the heart, but a show of good black eaxth beneath freshly turned sod and of green sprouts peeping through presently, is good for the success of the allies—of Democracy. Hoes and shovels and seed! These are as necessary as the rifles and the shrapnel in the prosecution of the war to a successful finish. From one end of the United States to another is developing an appreciation of this vast need, and suburbanites of the greater cities already have increased their garden space one hundred per cent, more than a year ago. Thus has the amateur gardener taken his first step in doing his bit in pre paring at once to meet the food The New Store of Wm. Strouse WHY NOT Settle the Clothes Question Now? The New Store of Wm.

Strouse problem, one of the greatest of the war. The amateur gardener of this year is very different from the ama teur of seasons past. His desire for gardening that found outlet in scrag gly radish and lettuce beds has ex panded to a desire for something more than this, and a careful study of garden books and a quest for advice from those who know Is the result. Perhaps no other vegetable will receive more consideration than the potato in this country-wide en deavor of the amateur gardener. And there Is much to learn about the potato, which is among the best paying vegetables . though many things must be considered for its suc cessful cultivation. Eugene H. Grubb and W. S. Guil ford in their book, "The Potato" (Doubleday, Page & Co.), offer some pertinent facts about this important vegetable. "The potato is successfully grown in practically every country in the temperate zone. Latitude and alti tude are synonymous as far as they relate to potato conditions when ofher requirements are the same. Drainage is the most important re quisite in a potato soil. It must either present naturally or supplied artificially. For the uniform, perfect development of all parts of the pota to plant there must be a constant supply of air and oxygen, moisture and fertility. "A very frequent question asked by amateurs and others is, 'what Is the best potato?' The answer is that there is no universally 'best' potato, but that certain varieties have proved best for certain conditions. There are hundreds of varieties of pota toes, a large number of them good under certain conditions. This must be determined by experiment ami APRIL 27, 1917, test In the locality in question. "The objects sought in cultivating the potato are: llrst, keeping the soil in the seed lied loose, and re taining moisture for the crop, and, second, keeping down the growth of weeds, which, if allowed to grow, not only rob the |>otato plant of moisture, but also of available fer tility. When potatoes require mois ture they indicate it by the dark green, almost black, color of the leaves. When watered too heavily they get too light green, almost yel low. The characteristic healthy me dium green of a potato plant in good Folly to Let a Man Drink, Says Druggist Brown of Cleveland, Who Gives a Home Remedy SJ \ New Treatment Given Without the Consent or Knowledge of the Drinker Cleveland, O. A woman who lets a man drink is foolish, says Druggist Brown, for no man who drinks even a little bit is safe. A woman can break the drink habit In a few weeks for half what a man spends on liquor in the same time, and the drinker need never know she did it. For the sake and safety of both, stop the drink habit in its beginning. Det the first whiff of liquor Von his breath be your danger signal, but even if lie Is rum-soaked throughand through, do not despair; he can be saved and it is your duty to save him. Druggist Brown knows the awful curse of strong drink because lie himself, has been a victim. A loving sister res cued him from the brink of a drunk ard's grave and kept her secret ten years, then she told him how she did It. She saved him from the demon drink, rescued him from his own de praved self by means of a secret rem condition and doing well must be seen to be appreciated, but these things are easily learned." Edith Coring Fullerton in her book, "How to Make a Vegetable Garden,*' also says to the potato grower: "It is pretty well agreed among American horticulturists, that the best crop is obtained from planting sections of the potato which have three eyes. There should bo plenty of humus In either light or clay soils and moisture is a prime re quisite, though too much will cause both blight and rot. Potatoes must be dug and dried iri the shade." edy, the formula of an old German chemist. To save other families from the curse of drink and to help other victims out of the murk and. mire lis now makes the formula public. Any druggist can help you if you long to save a loved one. Just ask your drug gist for prepared Tescum powders and drop a powder twice a day in tea, cof fee, milk or any other drink. Diquor soon ceases to taste the same, the craving for it vanishes and 10, one more drunkard is saved without knowing why he lost the taste for strong drink. Note Prepared tescum, referred to above, should not be given except where it is desirable to destroy all taste for alcoholic drinks. Women who approve of moderate drinking and believe moderate drinkers safe should give tescum only when they see, as most do in time, that the dan ger line in v plainly near. Since this formula has been published J. Nelson Clark, and other druggists have tilled it repeatedly.—Advertisement. I
