A Word to Dad About the Boys.
CIV. w. Carroll, in Progressive
Farmer

Farmer.)
A friend and comrade, facing sure
death from an insidious disease, des-
pairingly asked me, what can do
to make my boys content to stay on
the farm with their mother after l
am gone ?"
l undertook to answer the ques-
tion by teaching the boys the use Of
various tools in budding and graft
ing, giving them scions a buds, ir
structing them from time to time III
practical horticulture, filling them
with the love for growing things just
for the pure JOY Of seeing things
grow and fructify. The father en-
couraged them by letting ti,em have
the revenue, after deducting legiti-
mate expenses. They were permit
ted to have guns, dogs, fishing boats.
They were instructed by the father
from his own wonderful experience in
woodcraft and hunting lore.
Then my friend died.
The boys are with their widowed
mother, all living lovingly together.
The home has been rebuilt; the
grounds are rich with fruits and or
namentals and fine nut trees; a Pc
can orchard is just coming into bear
ing. Farm crops are diversified. A
small nursery brings in a steady rev.
enue. They all enjoy a good auto
Noble. Theirs is a real home.
If the old cotton-and-corn routine
had been left to these boys, they
would have "gone to town."
Fathers, don't wait till you are
| about to die to give the boys living
chance.

HERE'S "A WAY TO SAVE
DOCTOR BILLS.
Physicians Give Free Advice BY
Which Parents May Profit.

It's a matter Of general interest
Just now how ones physical condi-
tion can be got into shape to best
receive the benefits of the summer
season. Especially is this true of
the children. They have become
rundown by a winter of unnatural
manner of living because Of ill-con-
sidered food and much time spent
indoors. Spring comes with its sun
shine, its fresh vegetables and all
else invigOratinig. but the children
are in no condition to receive ma
ture's remedies.
Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician told
them when he was first called in con-
sultation. All good family physi-
clans say: "Cive the children Cas-
toria.' Healthy parents know this
remedy Of old, for they took it them
selves as children. 1t was more than
thirty years ago that Castoria made
a place for itself in the household. .
1t bore the signature Of Charles H.
Fletcher Then, as It does to-day. The
signature Is its guarantee, which is
accepted in thousands Of homes
where there are children.
Much Is printed nowadays about
big families. DR.. VIM. J. McCrann,
Of Omaha, Neb., is the father Of one
Of these much-read- families.
Here is what he says:
"As the father Of 13 children, /
certainly know something about
your great medicine, and aside from
my own family experience have, in
my years Of practice, found Castoria
a popular and efficient remedy in al
most every home"
Charles II. Fletcher has received
hundreds Of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that DR.. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say
they use Castoria in their own fami-
lies, but they prescribe it for their
patients. First OF all 1t is a vegeta-
Bile preparation which assimilates
the food and regulates the stomach
and bowels. After eating comes
sleeping. and Castoria looks out for
that too. 1t allays feverishness and
prevents loss Of sleep, and this abso-
lutely without the use of opium.
morphine or other banefuI narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to
discuss proprietary medicines. Halls
Journal OF Health, however, SAYS:
"Our duty Is to expose danger and
record The means for advancing
health. Tho day for poisoning inno-
cent children through greed or igno-
rance ought to end. To our knowl-
edge Castorta is a remedy which pro-
duces composnre and health by reg
ulating the system, not by stupefying
IT., and our readers are entitled to
the information. ADV, -

DECLARE
BAN ON LUxUR|ES
Drastic Order Forced BY Lack
of Shipping FaciIities-The
American Export Trade to
Suffer Consequences.

London. March 2O.-A far reaching
order in council, which will totally pro-
hibit importation into the United King
den of a large number of articles which
come under the general heading of
"luXuries" will be issued by the British
government at an early date.
Among the things which will be
placed under the ban will be automo-
biles for private use, musical instru-
mentS, cutlery of all kinds, hardware.
yarns, chinaware, fancy goods and
soaps. The order will apply equally
to all countries, including the British
dominion n colonies.
Hurts u. S.. Trade.
This forecast of the coming order in
council was given to the Associated
Press IN an interview by Walter Run
Mr.. Runciman admitted that articles
in addition to those named would be
placed on the list of prohibited imports,
but in advance of the issuance of the
order he decline to say what they are.
He agreed that the decree would haye
considerable effect on exports from the
United States, but pointed out that it
applied to all countries alike and de-
clared it was absolutely to limit the
shipment Of bulky luXuries in order to
provide room in ships for necessaries.
But please remember" said Mr..
RunCl1nan, lnaI the issuance OF LnlS
order is forced on the country not as a
matter of policy, but entirely because
Of shortage in tonnage. We want ex-
ports from the United States. We
want your wheat, cotton and meat. and
We need other things which we cannot
get if the space aboard vessels is taken
up with Injuries.
Shortage Of Ships.
Everything possible is being lone
to relieve the shortage in ships. Every
ship flying the British flag is now con-
trolled by the government. Immense
numbers of them have been requisi-
toned; others are subject to direction
by way of licenses. Whether it will be
necessary to requisition more vessels
I cannot say, but for my part I hope
this will not be n
Mr.. Runciman said the Importation
CT some fresh fruits probably would be
prohibited later, but he pointed OUT
that this would affect the United States
only slightly. Turning from the matter
of imports to the general industrial sit
uation in the British isles, Mr.. Runci-
man said there never had been greater
activity in the larger industries, that
wages were higher thar ever before
and that the percentage of unemrloyec
never had been so small in the history
Of the country.
