EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases Of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use Of coffee.
1t is said that in Arabia where cof-
fee Is used In large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine. as
coffee.
A N. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
MY son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds OF
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
HE used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit 1t and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
II was always fond Of tea and coffee
and finally became 80 nervous ! could
hardly sit still long enough to eat a
meal. My heart was In such con-
dition I thought might die at any
time.
Medicine did not give me relief
and I was almost desperate. It was
about this time we decided to quit cot
fee and use Postum, and have used 1t
ever since. am In perfect health.
No trouble now with my heart and
never felt better in my life.

to US all, particularly to my son and
myself"

WHY The CLOVER
CROP OFTEN FAILS
Rotation Alone Will Not Always
Maintain Fertility of Soil,
Says Prof. Hopkins.

The most thorough investigator
and student of actual soil conditions
and the highest authority on this sub.
ject, is Professor Cyril G. Hopkins OF
the Illinois experiment station. Con-
corning rotation Of crops he has this
to say:
1.-THE only kind of soil treatment in
common use that Is even believed to
benefit the soil is crop rotation in
Guiding a clover crop, but that rota-
ton is a means of depicting fertility,
and the clover used in this way In
grain farming serves only as most
powerful soil stimulant, leaving the
soil poorer with each passing rota-
ton until crop yields become reduced,
clover being the first crop to fail in
this system.
"At this point land values usually
begin to decrease. Under the success
full clover system of grain farming,
the landowner may receive one-half Of
60-bushel crop Of corn, which at IS
cents bushel will return $1,000 an
acre-50 cents for taxes and per cent
interest on 5000 land. but 10 or 20
years after the clover system fails the
landowner may be receiving only one
third of 30 bushels of corn per acre,
which with the same price and tax
would leave him only $3-5 per cent
interest on $50 land.
"Crop rotation alone is sufficient to
maintain the fertility of some soils at
a low-yielding power. as on sloping
land whose surface is washed away
at least as rapidly as the fertility is
removed by crops and whose subsoil
is as rich or richer than the surface.
Suppose we are practising four
year rotation; corn two years, oats
with clover seeding the third year, and
clover for hay and seed crops the
fourth year. Let us assume yields of
100 bushels of corn per acre. 100 bush
els of oats and fosr tons per acre Of
clover (such yields have been pro-
duced). The four crops in such ro-
tation would remove 81 pounds Of
phosphorus per acre from the soil, or
II we leave the stalks on the land 60
pounds of phosphorus.
THE principal type Of soil in the
great corn belt averages about 1900
