thousands die every day In the

out of ten such cases of heart
trouble is indigestion. The CURE

Pepsin. The swollen, inflamed,
and engorged stomach, presses
right up against the heart and pre-
vents it from working; your heart
6utters, palpitates, pains and you
are short of breath; some lose it
forever. Just try for these symp-

Mr.. Sylvester Johnson, of the In
diana Horticultural Society, says:
~ am S2t years old and still eating
apples" How much of the good
health, sound mind and cheerful
disposition OF this venerable man
is due to the eating of apples every
day for the bulk of century can
not, of course, be told, but it has
doubtless been an important factor.

Great is the power of publicity
and the press. 1t can sting when
all other means fails. A man NAV
be m can and know it himself, but
he does not care to have his neigh

and murder in secret without dis
commoding his own conscience,
but when the people on the stree,
point at him the finger of scorn,
then the disgrace hurts.-Rich-

Eye!ess and Tep!ess Potatoes.

We like a good story, even when
we know it is not true. In fact,
many of the best stories are pure
fiction, but if we'll told are enter
tanning, and that is the main pur-
pose of story. Naturally, how.
ever, we are skeptical and when we
read one of these wonder stories in
connection with agricultural mat
tiers, feel like throwing out a word
of caution and labelling the matter,
"imp ortant il true " This is pre-
liminary to mentioning a story set
aaoat by the Chicago Evening Post
about one Darst, who claims to have
discovered method of raising po-
tatoes that will not only revolution.
ize the tuber business but make
him a veritable Rockefeller in
wealth. 1t is rather against Darst
that he once lived in Chicago but
as for several years he has been To-
Gated at Great Falls, Montana, the
improved atmosphere there may
have toned down the love of the
marvellous liable to be generated in
the Windy City. But here is the
tale in brief, on which the Ameri-
can Farmer will suspend judgment
until il sees some of the potatoes
Darst declares the secret lies in
the composition of a preparation
that takes the place of soil 1t is
upon this mixture that he claims TO
have secured a patent. He says
that layer of this mixture, three
or four inches deep, may be placed
in box, with eyes of potatoes on
this first layer may be placed
another layer of the mixture, with
potato eyes scattered through it
and so on one layer on top of an
other, until the box has been filed.
Then the mixture may be heated,
he declares, and growth of pota
toes will commence and progress
rapidly in each of the numerous
layers. He claims that all that is
necessary is to keep the mixture al
a growing temperature and to water
it every two weeks, and that within
sixty days from the time of plant
ing the eyes there Will be crop of
perfect potatoes in each layer in
the box, all the tubers being of
about the size of hens egg. All
this, he claims, will result without
u vine or sprout appearing above
the surface.
In his experiments Darst has
heated the contents of his box by
means of steam coil, but he de-
clares this is unnecessary, and that
the heat of the sun will suffice in
summer, if the box be covered with
glass. He terms his box an incu-
bator. The one he has used is a
small one, but he claims the same
results may be secured in a box of
any depth, length or width.
He claims he has demonstrated
he can produce, in box fifteen feet
deep and covering $500 square
feet, 10000 bushels of "new" po-
tatoes every sixty days, and secure
six such crops every year. He
claims such box, covering one
acre, with the required heating
apparatus, may be constructed for
$4,000, and that the cost of his
compound and of the labor re-
quired will amount to so ton. He
declares that at certain seasons, he
can market all the potatoes he can

gestion of the editor of this paper
that every person interested in help
ing this great work send the desired
information without delay either to

of time involved.
The Colorado State Realty Asso-

chamber of commerce. has raised
several thousand dollars to pay the
expenses of three travelling lectur-
ers through several eastern states.
The association desires to make this
work more effective and to do so
requests every Coloradoan who has
friends in Iowa, eastern Nebraska.
eastern Kansas. Minnesota. Wiscon-
sin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio,
Missouri or Kansas, or who has
moved into the state in recent years,
to register all possible information
at once with the association. The
association desires to secure the
names of people who might be inter
ested in moving into Colorado in
order that the lecturers may be sent
directly into the territory where the
best results may be obtained 1t
is the intention of the association
to issue a form of invitation to all
whose names can thus be obtained,
stating that they are being invited
| through the courtesy of certain
friends in Colorado. In this way it
is expected that several thousands
