INTESTINAL INDIGESTION

Some people think that the entire pro-
cess of digestion takes place in the stom-
ach.
There is intestinal digestion and there
is intestinal indigestion also and the lat
ter is usually associated with constipa-
ton Sometimes it is the cause, some
times the effect.
Harsh, strong purgatives that clear the
intestines quickly leave the delicate mem
branes infamed and dry, usually in a
worse condition than before. 1t was to
avoid just this that Pinklets, the new
laxative, were devised. They are dainty,
sugar coated granules and they act gently
with no gripping.

Quality Potatoes Demanded for Export to
South America.
[Exclusive to The Republican.Journal.]
'New England potato growers should
take advantage of the export trade to
South America opened since the begin
ming of the European War. Argentine
is now looking to the United States for
large quantities of potatoes and stands
ready TO pay quality prices for quality
goods, "says Prof. Henry G. Bell, for
merly professor of Agronomy and Man
ager of Farms. University of Maine.
Export potatoes must be of high
quality. of the table grade, free from
disease and mechanical injury, and must
be packed in bushel crates. Germany
has been sending quality potatoes to
Argentine and getting high prices. Now
the trade is willing to pay the price, but
expects quality" says Professor Bell,
who has been studying the potato sltua-
ton in the United States for years.
Proper soil treatment and the bal
ancing of plantfood is essential to the
growing of potatoes of high quality.
Potatoes make the greater part of their
growth withini sixty days and they must
have plenty of food while growing" ex-
plains Professor Bell. "There is also
limited market in South America fer
small, sound potatoes, ranging from two
to four ounces in weight. They must be

The Use of Phosphates.
Director William F. Brooks of the
Massachusetts Experiment Station has
just issued a bulletin on "Phosphates in
Massachusetts Agriculture" which should
be secured by every farmer in New
England interested in lettering the fer
tility of his farm and increasing the
yields of his crops.
The use of raw rock and the dissolved
or quickly available form of phosphates
are compared by Director Brooks, as a
result of extensive experiments carried
on under his direction He warns farm
ers against the general use of raw rock
phosphates and advises the more solu-
able and available forms, such as are
generally found in large quantities in
the mixed and special fertilizers on the
markets.
Natural rock phosphates are I'M
adapted to the conditions of our agricul-
ture. What is needed is frequent land
in the case of boed crops) annual appli-
cations of dissolved phosphates, says
Prof. Brooks in his summary. '"High
grade fertilizers with large amount of
water soluable phosphoric acid are most
favorable to quick start and early ma
turity." Copies of the bulletin may be

developing.
The Russians, with strong reinforce

with the Vistula and are advancing
southwark in an effort to outflank the
Germans who crossed the San in the vi
cinity Of Jaroslau. They are also strik-

but apparently have made no further
Roadway there nor with their offensive
