Correcting
Bad Habits Won't Do

To cure torpid and inactive liver, more
is required than the mere correction Of bad
habits. You change your diet, reform your
manners Of living, but unless you assist
Nature your efforts won't be a success.
When the liver and bowels are acting
improperly, something must be done to put
them in condition again. There is lack Of
tone in the liver action as well as in the
bowels. You feel depressed and untitled

FIRST AID TO THE FARMER.
Report Of Labor Bureau Shows What
Was Done IN 1909.

In its efforts TO help the farmer who
usually lacks farm workers when he needs
them most, the Labor Bureau OF the New
York Department OF Agriculture has been
very successful during the first year Of
its existence. More than twelve hundred
single men and ninety families have been
put TO work on New York farms.
Only one case Of swindling occurred.
one staIvart, who needed money more than
he wanted work. received a railroad ticket
10 MS destination. Instead of going 10 the
farm. he left the train at the Harlem sta
ton and sold the ticket To obviate any
further loss in trusting human nature the
officials OF the bureau now make sure that
the candidate for employment has baggage
worth as much as the sum paid for his
ticket The baggage IS then checked and
the check mailed 10 the farmer for deliv-
erv 20 the man on his arrival at the farm.
The work Of the bureau Is done without
charge. money for transportation is ad-
vanced by the employers. Requests for
helm are constantly received. The United
states Department Of Commerce and Labor,
several foreign cousulates and various So
cieties have sent to the bureau applicants
for whom work was found.

RECLAIMING ARID WEST
BY THOMAS M. HENLEY

The Carey act and the pluck k-of the westerner are the two principal things that are driving the great American desert off of the map. Two decades ago 1t was seen that agriculture in the hard conditions of the desert must be fostered by the government if the farmer was ever going to be able to really conquer the great dry plateau of the western United States.
 The Carey act, so-called from It's sponsor, Senator Carey of Wyoming, is bill passed by Congress in 1894, de- signed "to aid the public land states in the reclamation of the desert lands therein and the settlement, cultivation and sale thereof, in small tracts to actual settlers" It provides that the government may donate not more than 1,000,000 acres of public lands in each of the arid states to the several states, which the individual state is to cause to be reclaimed and occupied by set tlers-either through state development or contract with private corporations.
 The liberal and just provisions of this act have made 1t possible for individual and corporate capital to go in where the government was not ready to act and make place for the farmer and hor- ticulturist. And even where the 1,000,- GOO acres provided for have been ex- hausted, as in the case of Idaho, suf- fcient impetus has been given to ir- rigation for the movement to go on of itself.
 When ready for cultivation, the land under the Carey act Is disposed of to settlers under a modification of the regular homestead laws. A small pay. ment Is required to establish title, aft CT which ample time Is given to make the crops pay for the land and the water rights.
 The land withdrawal act of the last Congress is an amendment to the Carey act which gives the government the right to withdraw public lands from entry for one year, pending plans for segregation by the state or territory in which the lands concerned are To- cated.
 The territory mainly affected by tho Carey act is what is known as the arIc section. Roughly speaking, this area comprises Montana, Wyoming, Colo rado. Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mex ico western Texas, eastern Oregon and the southern portions of California and Idaho-in all about two-fifths of the entire United States.
 The annual rainfall in this territory is 20 inches or less. But the western Amer ican intermountain region is country of winter impounded sDows and these serve as an excellent substitute for the grow ing-season rains of the humid eastern states. The whole problem of irrigation Is to regulate the flow of this stored water
 The most fertile soil in the United States is found in the arid west. Nature has been letting the land lie fallow for untold centuries. During this time rains have not washed the rich salts from the earth. Once cleared of the cancerous sage-brush and given water. a magic tra n sforration takes place Grain and all manner of temperate fruits thrive mi- raculously.
