HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Worm Turns on
Practical Joker
St. Paul, Minn., April 27.—"It's a
long lane that has no turning," and
"He who laughs last laughs best"
are time-honored axioms, but never
theless true, as A 1 Baumgart, a
South St. Paul commission man, ig
willing to admit. Some time ago A 1
sought to initiate a new employe,
but the "worm turned" and the real
.ioke was in him.
He sent the youth about half a
mile down the yards after a "cow
anchor." The youth, when he re
turned with a 150-pound sack of
iron, was given the "ha, ha."
In the office was a box of flowers
which Mr. Baumgart had ordered
for a dear friend. His victim care
fully removed the flowers and filled
the box with paper. Unmindful of
the change, Air. Baumgart carried
the box to her home. What she iaid
when she opened it is not known.

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

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
