Considering the fact that the long
look ahead seems To Indicate that a
conservation of the country's agricul-
turnl resources Is the most important
material consideration which confronts
the present and future generations, 1t
would seem a farsighted policy to put
all commercial fertilizers on the free
list. This win not only tend to dis
courage the shipment Of nitrates and
phosphates to other countries, but to
increase the importation Of these prod
ucts into this country. and II this trade
assumed large proportions It would
hardly more than Offset the exporta-
ton Of fertilizing elements in the
shape Of cereals, cereal products and
live stock. The same rule holds with
the country as It does with any tndi-
vidual farm In this matter Of maintain
Ing fertility resources.

Heart to Heart Talk
With a Young Mother
CHILDREN SICK WITH ONE
DISEASE AFTER ANOTHER
ALL WINTER.
How to Avoid Catching Conta-
gious Diseases Something
Every Mother Should
Remember.

Good morning, Pm SO glad to see you.
now? Seems like they have been sick all
winter. First scarlet fever, then diphtheria,
and now it is wl,ooping cough. Well, you
have had your hands full to be sure, but do
you know / believe you could have warded
off some of those diseases. Oh, mol Pm not
accusing you of neglecting your children;
you're too good mother to do that.
know your new neighbors brought scarlet
fever, but don't you remember the hard
colds your children had just when they came?
Now listen moment; that has had more to
do with 1t than you think. Your children
were then particularly susceptible to disease
germs. Eminent physicians now agree that
children would not be near SO likely to take
scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough
or any of the catching diseases if every cold
were doctored when it first makes its appear
ance. You have noticed that when two
children are exposed to some contagious
disease at the same time often one of them
will take it and the other will not. Well,
that is Just the reason, one child had cold
and the other did not. never allow a cold
to run twenty four hours without attention.
You say you don't have any confidence in
cough medicines? You have not used the
right one yet. Just try Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and you'll change your mind. Of
course you have heard of it. 1t has been on
the market for thirty five years. No, indeed,
it won't hurt the children. There is nothing
in it that will injure your little baby. Get
bottle of it while you are up town and you
will find that your children will not catch
everything that comes along.
