FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health of its different members Is
most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination Of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
Is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in it's
action on the bowels, yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.O0
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. w. B. Caldwell.
POI Washington ST, Monticello, ILL.,,
and ask for sample bottle. DR.. Cald-
well will be glad to send it without
any expense to you whatever.

OF the indigenous potato, the Maglia, which SO at
tracted the attention Of Darwin when he made
his famous voyage in the Beagle. AS far
south the Chonos Archipelago (about As
degrees south) this plant grows wild near the
sea. The potatoes from it resemble English po-
tatoes, and have the same sniel but do not
stand cooking so well. Little effort seems to
have been made to develop the original tubers,
although they form a good part of the food
OF the people, yet in this neighborhood the is
land of Chloe alone has about 25, 900 acres un
der cultivation, of the $4,000 acres devoted to
potatoes in all Chile. That the Europeans
found potatoes in Quito and Bogota need not
be denied, but there is no strong reason for
supposing that 1t was more than the same
plant already mentioned, transported thither
before they came.
Quite another story Is uncovered along the
coast Of South America. There the potato is
considered European vegetable and is culti
waited only by those whose experiences are
derived from the old world. No tradition con-
meets the few remaining natives with a past in
which the potato fourished, and in the minor
instances in which the wild potato" has been
found, experiment shows that it is inedible and
perhaps even poisonous.
This = the case in the wild potato of Par
aguay Sch plant has for years been
known to exist in the basin of the River
Parana. 1t grows on the plains, budding In
March and April, and ripening during the win
ter months of May to August. The tubers are
about the size OF walnut and sometimes
larger, soft and watery full! of irritating So
lania (the active slkaloid OF the potato) and
OF poor taste. They are not eaten nor are
they cultivated; the socalled edible potato is
considered an imported vegetable. foreign to

c;r N.,tar Raleigh "and then give me your
oninion" At the first flavor of this strange
vegetable he was delighted, and ever after
wards gave particular attention 10 increasing
his supply of the wonderful potato
BY such experiences the potato was spread
over Europe. In France it was rare but
priced vegetable in 1916; in Germany 1t was
recognized in 1850, and from that time on, Eu-
rope, as we'll as other parts OF the world, grad
ually accepted it an addition TO the 1000
supply of all peoples. 1t Is unwise TO discuss
here the mooted point about the so-called IN
digenous potato of Mexico and Arizona;
about the origin of the s. commersonii In
Uruguay and Argentina; for the settlement OF
1t cannot disturb the fact that the Solanum
tuberosum, the common potato Of today, came
from the west coast of South America, and
that the natives of these regions must be
given credit of having recognized its food
value long before they were discovered by Eu-
ropeans.
The widespread botanical order of the solan-
aceae, to which potato belongs en-
braces plants of little APPARENT similarity. There
are, as members of the great family, among
medicinal plants, for example, the hyoscyamus,
dulcamara, beladonna, and datura among
food supplies are the thorn apple "a tree, In
this case) the artichoke, and the tomato; and
adding to mans enjoyment If not to his vital
sustenance, the capsicum or the chile OF COM
merce, and the American toDaCCO. NOL many
of them have tubers, however, and of the tu
bers, the potato holds the prize for its useful
ness in human economy The tuber of the
plant we are interested in is the common po-
tato.
Now. the tuber Is a curious provision OF ma
ture which by propagation can be carried on
by means of the regular and normal plant ac-
tivity Of the seed above ground, and also by
anomalous stems, enlarged by the develop
ment, to an unusual degree, Of cellular tissue,
which are below the ground. Potatoes have
seeds and fruit like any other member Of the
botanic kingdom, but when left to themselves
it may happen that more energy Is expended
in storing up food in the tubers, so that fow-
ers and seeds are imperfect theoretically 1t
makes little difference which element-tuber
or seeds used for perpetuation of the potato,
but practically so much encouragement has
been given to the tuber that the seed is habit
ually ignored. Incidentally 1t deserves men,
ton that the popular Burbank potato. the
spread Of which was one of the earliest demon
strations of the genius of the botanical wizard,
Luther Burbank, was propagated from the

FLAX GROWING
is PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE-
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount Of money made out
of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion Of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts of the wheat
growing portions Of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention,
but what Of oats, which yield forty.
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry off the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then.
there is the barley, with it's big yields,
and it's excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and a big one is flax.
The growing of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer hcs before him a circular is
sued by prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed flax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had
yield Of twenty-nine bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case Of a
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres of summer fallow year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now, there can be no
proper reason advanced why such
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner. This year (191D the
same man had one hundred acres of
summer fallow, had something over
$500 bushels of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels of oats and 800 bushels
Of flax"

roots and the vegetable products OF
Western Canada farms, all of which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention, and they are treated

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the aff1iction assumed the
form Of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being infiamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch It
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better. and in fact
got worse all the time, so much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally decided to try
