CALOHEL SALWATES

Acts Like Dynamite On a Sluguish Liver and You Lose
 Days Work.

There's no reason why a person should take siekening. salivatine call omel when 50 cents buys large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel.
 It's pleasant, vegetable l:duid which will start your liver just as surely as ealomel. but 1t doesn't make you sick and cannot salivata.
 Children and grown folks eau take Dodsons Liver Tone, because it ia perfectly harmless.
 Calomel is dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty cal0mel today and you will feel weak, sick and lose a days work Take spoonful of Dodsons Liver Tone instead an1 you will wake up feeling great No more blliousness, constipation. slug gishness. headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says If you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible caIomeL your money is waiting for you.-Adv

Mena testimony has been pub lished to prove the merit of Doan's Kidney Pills to others in Mena who suffer from bad backs and kidney ills Lest any sufferer doubt thls ey- idenee of merit. we produce con- flrmed proof-stateme from Mena people who again endorse Doaa's Kidney pills-conflrm their former testimony. Here's a Mena case:
 Samuel Hopp. 606 Seventh St., Mena. says: "Lumnago and kidney complaint came on me without warning and the pains in my back wer so bad that I could hardly stand them I couldn't stand up straight or bend over. A box and a half of Doan's Kidney Pills fixed me up all right" Statement given March Fist. i9ii).
 NEARLY THREE YEARS LATER, MT. Hupp said; T take Doan's Kid ney Pills of and on now as a sort of a kidney tonic. My former endorse ment still holds good"

and more abundant growth of plants Drainage induces better aeration be. cause as the water drains down into the sub-soil air is drawn down to take it's place. The air thus drawn into the soil nelps make plant food availa ble, promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, assists in the formation of humus and destroys toxic substances or poisons that may exist there
 Drainage With Open Ditches.
 Open ditches provide the best means of drainage where large volumes of water are to be taken care of as in the reclamation of large swAmpy areas. They can also be used to ad, vantage when it is necessary 10 pro. vide an outlet for water in a small depression Open ditches can be con. structed more cheaply than under ground drainage systems, but are less permanent and must be frequently re. paired They are unsightly, occupy land that could otherwise be used for growing crops and, as usually con. structed, provide place for weeds.
 When 1t is necessary to use open ditches for financial and other req. sons. they should be constructed with wide sloping banks gotten into sod so they can be moved for hay and to keep down the weeds. A good form of open ditch Is the dead" furrow. This is adapted to land that is nearly flat The field is plowed in narrow beds with a deep dead" furrow be- tween the higher intervening spaces
 Tile Drainage.
 The drainage of farm land can be obtained most efficiently and perma. nently by means of tile laid under ground. Two kinds of tile are in use -clay and concrete. Clay tile is used more extensively, being usually cheaper and more easAy handled. Concrete tile is satisfactory however, if it can be obtained as cheaply. For making concrete tile rich proportion of cement and good sand should pc used and they should be mixed as wet as is practicable. The proper depth for laying the tile varies with the tex ture of the soil and the distance the lines are apart The depth usually varies from two to two and half feet, being laid shallow in clay soils and deeper in sandy land.

SOIL AND SOIL FERTILITY.
No. 4. Farm Drainage.

oy De F. Hungerford, Assistant Az.
 ionomlst University of Arkansas.
 The question of reclaim;ng the S"ampy lands of this state has been occupying the attention of lawmakers. iarmers and business men for many years Several important drainage uisericts have been organized and pro. posed which, when completed, will cnange hundreds of square miles of ianu that is now unproductiye into she most productive land in the 'South. These are we'll known facts anu no one attempts to belittle or ueny the value of such reclamation p'olects in increasing the states se- sources. It IS not so we'll known. however that the yield on thousands or acres of land that is now being armed could be greatly increased by aueQuate drainage Almost every larm has some land that is too wet TOT the highest crop production. Too 'uucn water is as injurious to crops as not enough. Many farmers realize Inat parts of their farm do not pro- uuce as much as would be expected. out they fail to recognize that the uouole may be due to poor drainage.
 Now Drainage Benefits the Soil.
 Drainage enables the plant roots to penetrate into the soil. The plant roots will not penetrate soil that is saturated with water, so if the sub soh Is too wet all the plant food that contains is unavailable. When srops are planted on poorly drained .anu the root systems are shallow. when drought comes the surface uries out quickly and the crop suffers. ,n well-drained soil, on the other nanc the roots go down deeper into me sub-soil which dries out more slowly and the crop is able to resist temporary drought.
 A well drained soil warns up quick. sr Tn the spring because the heat rom the sun is not used up in evapo- 'a'ing surplus water. Crops can therefore be planted sooner which is an important point in a region of sumner droughts. Where land is 1 Nsh drsIned it is possible to cultivate 4uicAiy after every rain thereby de- ''roying weeds while they are young.
 lne physical condition of soils is a a1cn Improved by drainage. This IS sue party to the fact that the surface | '. u,ies out rapidly thus promoting gran

Be- yond him. leaning against the wall was the German doctor. His head was thrown back; they saw his face--a white mask, made whiter by the dark line of blood triclSling from the half open mouth His eyes shone to meet them with boyish triumph.

 She came out of the darkness. a slight frail figure in the big cloak, her hands outstretched. He caught them and kissed them, and then the white grave face which she lifted to him with the dignity of great and single passion.

 An Arab servant brought up the two horses. She drew back instantly, and Farquhar swung himself into the sad dle. Preston came up to him and pressed his hand for last time.
