Mr.. Brooks new homestead bill
which is now in cOmMittee, but which
will be taken out and passed by con
gress If Mr.. Brooks is sent back to
congress in Washington, has made him
a host of friends among the brawny
men of the Dlains and the farms.
Under the Brooks bill homestead
consists Of $40 acres instead of 1GD As
now. Such law will be OF untold
benefit to the arid regions where so
much government land remains unset
tied.
A lG0 acre farm is insufficient fGr
the needs of cattle ranches. With Il
$40 acre tract however it will be diff
ferent. 1t will be an incentive for
whole families to settle upon the land
under one homestead and divide up the
acreage among the different members,
thus making it sort of cooperative
proposition. Besides with : genera!
movement to homestead the idle lands
in the arid regions the land will be-
come taxpaying and as result greatly
reduce the individual taxes Of the citi
Zens Of many Of the eastern counties.
The bill has the approval of the stock
interests in all sections of the west

Perhaps you have never thought OF

every one that constipation is caused
by ii lack of water in the system. and
the use of drastic cathartics like the
old fashioned pills only makes Il bad
matter worse. Chamberlain'S Stom-
