And, of course, Indigestion If neg
lected long enough, brings on serf-
GUS diseases in which kodol cannot
benefit you. Some Of these there
fs no help for at all.
There are. in fact. very few all
ments which cannot be traced di-
rectly to impure blood. And i'm
pure blood is always due to a dis
ordered stomach.
Use Kodol and prevent Nervous
Dyspepsia.
Kodol will effectua1ly assist Ma
ture to secure a complete restora-
tien of good digestion. It does
this by at once dfgesting all food
in the stomach and keeping it di-
gested, until the stomach is rested
and can resume it's own work. Ko-
dol removes the cause-and the
effect quickly removes itself.
When it is recalled that Ape
plexy, Heart Disease, Cancer-and
even Consumption-are due to
poor digestion and poisons thus
transmitted to the blood, and
throughout the system-the impor-
tnce of maint aiming good diges-
ton is at once realized.

HARD Licks AT THE START.

There is no method of handling the potato field which will put the soil in
 so good condition or kill so many weeds as thorough work with the drag during the two or three weeks follow Ing planting. Assuming that the ground has been given thorough preparation for the reception of the seed it is well 10 wait six or seven days. depending somewhat on the weather conditions. until the weed seed gets nicely germi- mated and is beginning to show above ground It is well to give the field very thorough narrowing, letting the slrags lap and then giving the same treatment 1t right angles. Again. as soon as the potatoes begin to show above ground the patch should be gone over with four shovel cultivator and the rows given a shallow covering. which will start new batch of weeds G sHouting. At the end of four or i've days. when the potato sprouts be- gin to break through this covering. the field may be gone over again with the harrow erossways of the rows, which will again swat the weeds in the row and not injure the young vines 10 speak of Later. on cultivation should he given, and if the soil is mellow and weeds are still germinating another treatment may be given with the har- low when the vines have got past the brittle state. Methods similar to the above will not only put the soil in fine condition for the growth of the crop. hut will reduce the weed pest to . minimum. All fhe succeeding work in the field. even through digging time. Will be pleasanter and more satisfac- tory as result ef this weed cam paign at the start.
