1t is then that the kindly, tonic in

the nerves need Of nourishnent.
And when Tonoline brings to the
starved cells and tissues the very foods
they hunger for, in just the form that
is most easily taken up, 1t is not long be-
fore relief comes.
We are receiving letters daily from
grateful people telling how TonoIine has
RECONSTRUCTED cell and tissue, enriched
the blood, produced keener appetite and
better sluruber and infused tie whole

For women who can never appear sty-

To End Catarrhal

Per.ons suffering from catarrhal deaf

Therefore, If you know Of someone who
n troubled with head noises or catarrhal
deafness, cut out this formula and hand
1t TO them and you will have been the
means of saving some poor sufferer per
haps from total deafness The prescrp-
ton can be prepared at home and Is
made as follows:

Depression in Aroostook.

E. A Rogers of the Department Of
Agriculture has Just returned from 10
days trip through Aroostook county in
the course Of which he visited Houlton,
Caribou, Mars Hill, Blaine. Presque Isle,
Fort Fairfield, and other towns which
play an important part in the business
activities of Names premier agricultural
county. Mr.. Rogers says that the de-
preston in Aroostook county is general
and unmistakable. This years planting,
he estimates from the average Of pros
poets as stated to him by leaders in the
potato industry in Aroostook, will be 8 @
below last years and Aroostook men de-
clare that there will come into the county
60 car loads of fertilizer less than in the
season of 1914. which under normal con-
ditions would mean a falling of in acre
age amounting to 1900 acres.
Mr.. Rogers met one man who came out
about $50 behind in the 1913 season on ac-
count Of the low price and hoped to make
up his deficiency by the profits on an in
creased acreage last year; the result is
an increased Indebtedness. Such stories,
Mr.. Rogers says, are common in Aroos-
took county now. He says the depres-
sion can be accounted for by survey of
the low price Of potatoes and the quar-
antine on account of powdery scab.
Speaking Of the powdery scab, Mr.
Rogers stated that Aroostook men in gen.
eral do not consider the disease a serious
one at all. He told Of one man who
picked out the best examples of pow
derry scab he could find amongst his po-
tatoe seed and planted them in marked
plot When the crop was dug on that
plot the potatoes were absolutely free
from bIenish. This year he is going to
plant again on the same plot in the same
way to see il the condition Of the soil the
second year will affect the tubers. Blem-
ishes resulting from diseases Of the tu-
bers are found on potatoes, which are
thought to be much more serious than
powdery scab, and no notice is taken Of
them by the federal authorities Many
Aroostook potato raisers consider the
powdery scab farcical In every phase
from diagnosis to the method Of inspec-
ton
