Results Of Tests Made Last
Winter by Kansas City People
Now Announced.

From the Kansas City Star-When the
Southern treatment for Group and
cold troubIes-Vick's Vap-O-Rub
SaIve-was being introduced In
Kansas City, Mo-, last spring, the
local druggists naturally were skep-
ticaI. They wanted to be "shown"
that vap-O-Rub really would relieve
Group and colds Just by applying
over the throat and chest. So ar
engagements were made for each
druggist to give away few compli-
mentary jars to his customers on
condition that they give it thor
oueh trial and report the results.
We give below a few extracts from
these reports.
Mrs. James Hollens, 1928 Tracey
Ave. writes-'I have used Vap-O-Rub
for cold in the chest and find it ex-
cellent, and especially so for children.
I have also used it several times for
asthma and find it does wonderful
work"
Mrs. Almira Turner, 1914 E. oath ST.,
used Vap-O-Rub on her husband who
had bronchitis and relieved him with
two nights applications. Mrs. Turner
has also tried it on her children, and
particularly on her four months old
baby, who had a bad cold, and 1T
surely did cure her. l cannot praise it
toe highly"

Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain
and other eye weaknesses, and those who
wear glasses, will be glad to know that
according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope
and help for them. Many whose eyes
were failing say they have had their eyes
restored by this remarkable prescription
and many who once wore glasses say they
have thrown them away. One man says,
after using it: Il was almost blind. Could
not see to read at all. Now l can read
everything without my glasses and my
eyes do not hurt any more At night they
would pain dreadfully. Now they feel
fine all the time. 1t like a miracle
to me-" A lady who used it says: The
atmosphere seemed hazy with or without
glasses, but after using this prescription
for 10 days everything seems clear can
read even fine print without glasses" An
other who used it says: Il was bothered
with eye strain caused by overworked,
tired eyes which induced fierce headaches

The "Nokomis," considered one Of
the finest yachts afloat, was offered to
the government shortly after Amerl-
cas- declaration Of war. Less than two
weeks ago Mr.. Dodge was notified OF
her acceptance and preparations Tor
the more serious business Of fighting,
as compared with the delights OF
smooth sailing on the lakes, began i'm
mediately. On May 16, she cleared
from her coaling docks in Detroit,
bound for the St. Lawrence river, the
gulf and New York. At the latter
port she will be formally taken over
by the government, although naval
officer was nominally in command
from the moment she left Detroit.
Exact plans for the future of the "No-
komis" are withheld by the govern
ment, but it is known that her name
will be changed and that she will soon
appear in full naval attire.
The departure of the vessel was sig
nalized by a farewell reception given
aboard her by Mr.. Dodge for few
friends who had been his guests on
frequent cruises.
The "Nokomis" is 303-ton yacht
of steel construction, 100 feet over all
and with an extreme breadth OF 23.7
feet. She is equipped with triple ex-
pansion, four-cylinder engines and is
easily capable of 10 knots an hour.
She was built by the Robins drydock,
South Brooklyn, N. Y, and launched
in December, 1913. Since June !.

run, she has cruised $4,000 miles,

MILLET FOR WASTE PLACES.

Millet is a crop that can be seeded
the first of June in North Dakota. Pot
holes that were too wet to seed will
usually be dry enough to seed to mil
let June first. There may be other
lands not in crop that can be sown to
millet. For hay the German and 81
berian varieties are usually preferred.
One-half bushel of seed is needed per
acre. The broom corn, hog or prose
millets are the best to grow for seed.
Three pecks to the acre will make a
good seeding. Millet makes a good
hay but it is best to feed it with other
hay or roughage. Millet seed is very
much like oats in feeding value. --Agr.

GIVE THE PASTURE A CHANCE

The plant uses it's leaves for build
ing more plant. Without leaves the
plant cannot make normal growth
This is true of pasture crops as well as
for other plants. When pastured too
close the pasture crops cannot make
much growth and hence do not pro
duce much food. It weakens the plant
too so that it may not make normal
growth next year. Give the pasture a
chance to produce by not pasturing it
too short. -Agr. Elk. Dept, N. D. Ayr.
