A Washington man tells of din
ner at hotel in that city at which
were number of men interested
IN various reforms. About the most
conspicuous of these was man who
talked loudly against both vivisection
and the eating of meat. He afforded
great interest to a certain obscure
physician.
Toward the end of the dinner the
latter leaned forward and said to the
man first mentioned.
Pardon me, but am not to under
stand that you are both an anti-vivi-
sectionist and a vegetarian"
Your understanding is correct"
"Thcn,' continued the doctor, "you
will probably be greatly shocked to
learn that you have just eaten a live
caterpillar with your lettuce salad"

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or eallus SO it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says thisCincinnati authority, because
a few drops Of freezone applied de-
rectly on tender, aching corn or cal
lus, stops soreness at once and soon
the corn or hardened callus loosens so
it can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle of Freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get small bottle for
you from his wholesale drug house.
1t is fine stuff and acts like a charm
every. time. LADY.

SWEET POTATOES MAY BE
PLANTED AS LATE AS JULY
West Raleigh, N. G..
May 6, 1917.

May 6, 1917.
Gentlemen,-
'For week l have tried to find
time to write an article urging the
farmers to plant heavily of sweet po-
tatoes. If the war continues for an
other year the production Of human
food crops will be serious problem
not only in the South but through
out the world. The Northwest has
annually been supplying the South
with hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of food necessities to feed the
people of the South. The enormous
quantities of food that the United
States have been shipping to Europe
must continue and hardships are
inevitably coming if the war contin-
ues six months longer. There is no
crop grown in the South that will fur
nish as much food value per acre or
so chcaply as will the sweet potato. A
dollars worth of sweet potatoes used
as human food has practically dou-
bic the food value of dollars worth
of wheat and corn. An acre of aver
age land in sweet potatoes will pro-
duce more food than two acres of
corn and more than four acres of
wheat in the cotton belt.
Sweet potatoes may be planted as
late as July and yield twice as much
human food as corn on land Of aver
age fertility. 1t is the most impor-
tant crop that the South can now
grow, and there remains May, June
and part of July in which this crop
may be planted.
"The sweet potato has higher
food value than the Irish potato, and
it is now too late to plant the latter
with an assurance of success, and
then there is practically no seed
available. There is ample sweet potato
seed available, and bushel of sweet
potatoes will produce plants enough
to plant from six to ten times as
much land as bushel of Irish
can acre of land that will produce
5 or 20 bushels of corn, to II bush
els of wheat, or $50 to 200 pounds of
ih'e SOSINi oU, anu may
produce 80 or 100 bushels Of sweet
potatoes, depending upon the good
preparation of the soil and good fer
tilizers. No crop will yield so much
per acre of so high food value on so
poor land as will this highly nutri-
tious root crop. Sweet potatoes may
follow the various early truck and
farm crops harvested in May and
June, such as cabbage, Irish potatoes,
etc, small grain, crimson clover, etc.
'ln view of the scarcity of potash
| would recommend for sweet pota-
toes between 500 and 1900 pounds
Of fertilizer analyzing to 10 per
cent. of phosphoric acid, and to a
per cent. of nitrogen. On very thin
land | would use the higher per cent.
of nitrogen, and on better land the
lower per cent.

Mrs. Finley Says They Were Enabled

Tanlac, he was almost past going and

"My husband only took one bottle
of Tanlac, and that got him in such
fine shape he went back to work when
the bottle was taken, and he had not

Dirty Windows and Poor Ever.

The factors largely responsible for
poor illumination are small, narrow
windows, low power artificial lights
placed too far from the point Of opera
tion, and neglect OF facilities at hand
for obtaining light. according to the
Pennsylvania Department of Labor
and Industry. BY this neglect Is meant
lack of cleanliness. This applies first
of all to the windows. There Is
scarcely single industrial locality
which dees not contain at least one
building, and all too frequently sew
eral buildings of the same type. They
are built with supply Of window
space sufficient to illuminate amply

mulatod upon them, however, destroy
in large proportion their usefulness.

So Says John Woodson After
Trip From One End of
Nation to Other.
CLEAR AROUND u. S.
Northern Pacific Conductor
Back From Interesting
Vacation Journey.

Il want to tell you that food is
cheaper right here in this section of
the country than it is anywhere else
in the United States so far as l know"
To discuss the food conditions in the
restaurants and hotels of this nation
the speaker Conductor John Woodson
of the Northern Pacific is eminently
qualified. He returned Monday from
trip which included st. Paul, Chi
cago. Pittsburg. Harrisburg, Baltimore,
Washington, Charlotte, Atlanta, Bir-
mingham, Selma, Mobile, New Orleans,
Houston, San Antonio, Ell Paso, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and
Spokane. MIR. Woodson left Missoula
February Z.
During the trip Mr.. Woodson en-
countered all the different degrees Of
temperature in the climate of the
United States. He said that it was
cold at st. Paul and Chicago, warm
and springlike at Washington, and hot
at New Orleans and along the border
The war is causing more agitation
along the east coast states than it is
here in Missoula, he said, but he is of
the opinion that later DEVELOPMENTS
have made change.
Interesting Sights.
At Washington he invited the suf-
frage sentinels at the gates of the
White House to come out to Montana
where they wouldn't have to freeze
their feet to get the vote. He almost
saw fight between Carranza and Villa
troops at Juarez, but the Villa SOL
diers refused to oblige, thereby bring
ing great disappointment upon men,
bers of the Panhandle Stockmens' as
ISOLATION, holding a convention at Ell
Paso across the river. From Mr. Wood
sons description of CarranZa SOL
dier, respectable United States hobo
would be ashamed to be seen disguised
as one.
Looking at his trip from a profess
sional standpoint, Mr.. Woodson states
that the most remarkable feature of
the entire journey was that no delays
of more than 10 minutes occurred on
any of the trains.
