DISORDERED
DIGESTION
IF Neglected May Develop Into a
Severe Form of Stomach
Trouble.
The Best Safeguard Is to Keep the Stomach
Toned Up and the Treatment Should
Be Begun When the First
Symptom Is Noted.


"a few years ago" says Mrs. George
Fallu, of Fnlayson, Mimi, 81 began
to suffer from stomach trouble. 1t came
what caused it. gave little heed to it
at the time thinking that it was merely
slight attack ofindigestion. Itfinally
developed into severe form of stomach
trouble and / suffered terribly for
months.
"At the beginning of my sickness I
had fainting spells and became uncon-
cious. There was gas on my stomach,
my appetite was very poor and what
little ate did not seem to be digested.
was sick at my stomach a great deal
and had severe dizzy attacks. 1 had
hot flashes when it would seem as
though was burning up. I could not
sleep night or day during these spells
unless | took something to ease the
pain. was very weak and was in this
condition for six months. I could not
do any work and was confined to bed
for two or three days at time.
ga doctor at Duluth said had gas
trio fever. He did not give me much
help so tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills
upon my mothers advice. I gave the
pills thorough trial and unlike the
doctors medicine, they agreed with me-
| took several boxes of the pills and
was entirely cured. l think SO much
of the pills that l always keep them in
the house.
The tonic treatment with DR.. VIII
iams' Pink Pills by building up the
blood SO that it can nourish and
strengthen the weakened digestive sys-
tenn has made hundreds of cures in the
most severe stomach disorders. This
record of cures should merit trial for
the remedy which is guaranteed free
from opiates.

Evidence Shows Missouri Convict Is
the Bad Man Crayens.
Leavenworth, March 31-During a
conference between William Duckett,
record clerk of the Kansas state
prison, and William McClaughry, spe-
cial agent of the government. at the
federal prison. the identification of
Charles Maust. the convict in the Mis-
souri, state penitentiary, as Ben
Cravens, the desperate. who escaped
at Lansing several years ago, was COM
pleted.
Cravens is understood to have only
one more year to serve in the Jeffer-
son City penitentiary After that he
probably will be brought back to
Lansing. At any rate, every effort is
to be made to compel him to serve his
unexpired term in the Kansas prison.
Both Duckett and McClaughry had
been working on the case, and when
they compared their evidence there
was no doubt that the prisoner Charles
Maust was none other than the much
wanted Cravens. Warden Codding said
that he was convinced the identifica-
tiOn was positive.

It Is Now Selling Far Above the

Western Kansas Soil Right for
Good Results.

Flax averaged one-half a. crop in 1909
and one-third of a crop in 1910 for the
United States. The crop was short "a
1910 in the flax growing sections of the
entire world. AS early as November.
Chicago was forced to get flax from
Argentine and Calcutta Flax is now
selling at two and a half times the
ordinary price and there is not nearly
enough in the world to supply even
urgent demands.
Flax is one of the best dry farming
crops for the plains whenever the soil
in the spring is moist enough to secure
rapid growth. When the soil is dry in
the spring, flax is q poor crop, no mat
ter how favorable the summer season
may be.
In most sections of western Texas.
western Oklahoma, western Kansas
and eastern Colorado. the soil is in good
condition in regard to moisture and if
the farmers will get good seed and
thoroughly prepare the soil for it, they
can probably make large profits with
flax this year. The dry farmers of the
southwest can market their crop before
the crop from the regular flax growing
sections is ready and should get the
cream of the high prices.
Flax, on the plains; will average IL to
Is bushels an acre in a, favorable sea-
son, using good seed and thorough
preparation of the soil. Flax in eastern
Colorado commands a premium because
Of its high percentage of oil.
Preparation of Soil.
Flax demands i moist, mellow seed
bed that is shallow with a firm bottom
The same kind Of seed bed that yields
the largest crops of wheat. Plowed
ground should be compacted by rains
or a subsurface packer before seeding
and be well fined on the surface.
Flax is good crop, yielding well if
the ground is thoroughly prepared and
leaves the ground in the best condition
for winter wheat. Sod should be cut
up 1engthwise with a disc harrow and
then smoothed with a spike tooth har-
row. Flax can be seeded on corn
ground without plowing.
Preparation of Seed.
Bright plump seed only should be
used There is much shrivelled and
diseased seed on the market. Diseased
seed sowed once viii infect the farm

fection all over the ne1ghborhood. I'M
mediately before sowing treat all seed
with 40 per cent formaldehyde. Spread
the seed thin on a floor. After the
seed has been spread mix one-half

water for each bushel of seed Thor
