WORTH OF WOOD ASHES.

Farmers Are Advised Not to Waste
Valuable Constituents.
~ Don't waste wood ashes. Apply
them. as produced, to acid soils. This
is the advice Of A, r. Whitson, head OF
the Wisconsin state soils laboratory It
is Of particular value to farmers IN mp
per Wisconsin and others who actually
have waste wood to burn. zs
Wood ashes contain a large proper
tion of lime, which makes them Of
value in correcting acid soils. Often
times land intended for clover or al
falfa can be better prepared for the
crop by top dressing Of fresh wood
ashes. either hard or soft wood being
equally satisfactory. Such treatment
will be of especial value on marshy
and sandy soils.
If not allowed to leach out, wood
ashes are also rich in potash and $50
form a home source for much needed
element. Practically all of our potash
supply has been imported into this
country from certain of the countries
of Europe now at war, which fact has
caused considerable concern with many
here who purchase in large quantities.
Whether or not it will pay to use
ashes for agricultural purposes de-
Ponds. upon the distance they have to
be hauled. When buying ashes the
purchaser should satisfy himself that
the material is neither adulterated nor.
full of coal residue. 49,. ~

PUT STOMACH. IN.
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results from
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested: food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, fer1ments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells us that
Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity,
meaning, there is an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach which prevents
complete digestion and starts food fer
mentation. Thus everything eaten sours
in the stomach much like garbage sours
in can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, fatulence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast and drink while it is effer-
vescing and furthermore, to continue
this for week. While relief follows
the first dose, it is important to neutral
ize the acidity, remove the gas-making
mass, start the liver, stimulate the kid
neys and thus promote free flow of
pure digestive juices.
Jads Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with 1ithia and sodium pfos-
phate. This harmless salts is used by
thousands of people for stomach trouble
with excellent results.

PUT SULPHUR ON T
AN ITCHING SKIN
AND END ECZEMA
Says this old-time Eczema REM
edy is applied like
cold cream.

Any irritation or breaking out on the
face, arms, legs or body when accom-
panied by itching, or when the skin is
dry and feverish, can be readily over
come by applying a little bold-sulphur,
says a noted dermatologist.
He states that bold-sulphur instantly
allays the angry itching and irritation
and soothes and heals the Eczema right
UP leaving the skin clear and smooth.
Bold-sulphur has occupied secure posi-
ton for many years in the treatment
Of cutaneous disorders because of its
Notwithstanding. property. Nothing
has ever been found to take it's, place
in treating the irritable and in1lam-
matory skin affections. While not al
ways establishing permanent cure it
never fails to subdue the itching irri.
tation and drive the Eczema away and
it is often years later before any erup-
ton again appears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at anv
drug store an ounce of bold-sulphur,
which is applied to the affected parts in
the same manner as an ordinary cold
cream.

An exchange sums up the reason
for the high cost of living in the fol-
lowing graphic manner: We throw
away ashes and buy soap. We raise
dogs and buy hogs. We grow weeds
and buy vegetables, and catch ten
cent fish with four-dollar rod. We
build school houses and send our chill
dren away to be educated, so that the
boys will be able to hunt ten cent
rabbits with forty-dollar dog; and
the girls may be sufficiently accom-
plished to do fancy work and play the
piano while mother washes the dishes.
Yes, these are hard times.
Four new members were initiated

On account of the basketball prac-
tice, no long tramps have been made
this week, but several have been
planned for later dates. The members

for the use of the Armory and the
