Near-Potato Coming.

Enter the imitation potato! 1t is
called the dasheen, is a member of the
tuber family and fourishes in Trini-
dad. Recently the dasheen has been
introduced into the South, and it is
expected that cultivation of the plant
will help to cut down the cost of high
living, as represented in the potato.
A frostless season of seven months
Is required to grow the dasheen, which
cannot be cultivated farther north
than South Carolina. AS an ar
ticle of food it is said to have less wa
ter than the potato, and increased pro-
tein, starch and sugar. These qualities
would be likely to render it even more
palatable than the familiar potato, and
we may soon be confronted with res
taurant bills reading: "Dasheen Lyon
naise" or "Dasheen a la O'Brien."

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or caIIus 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 this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without 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 freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house-adv.

HAD A CAPITAL OF $500
In Six Years He Was Well Off

An Alberta farmer, who had bor-
rowed from q loan company, in re-
mitting to them the last payment on
his mortgage, decided to give them the
history Of his experience, on Mani
toba farm. 1t was that of many anoth-
er farmer, and for the benefit Of those
who contemplate a change the liberty
is taken Of reproducing it.
II will give you here a brief sum-
mary Of my experience since coming
here six years ago. I was a new hand
at farming my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butchering. My capital was
$4OO, which was a first payment on
my quarter section (16O acres). Most
Of my stock, harness, implements, etc.,
were bought at sales, all ION time,"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 26 acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning a
number of mischances he says: I'm
spite Of all these drawbacks, / have
done well. I consider my farm worth
$3,5OO to $4,000. I have four head Of
horses, II Of cattle, over 400 purebred
Buff Orpington chickens and 125 tur-
keys, besides implements, harness, etc.,
| to run my place. I have a we'll ITO
| feet deep with an inexhaustible supply
of water. The we'll with pump cost
mo S4O0 have huilt q S125 chicken
house and put up nearly $50 worth of
poultry fencing; have built root cellars
to hold over 5000 bushels Of potatoes
and other vegetables. AS to income,
raise about ten acres of garden and
roots annually which net from $500 to
| $1,000 total. / generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings
from Sc to $14 per ton. My grain is
most all used on the farm except a
| few hundred bushels sold to the neigh
bors for seed. My four milk cows bring
in from $50 to $50 each Counting calf).
Last year 80 hens laid 600 dozen eggs
which averaged more than 25 cents

production). The surplus hens were
sold in spring, dressed at 81 each. My
turkeys average $3.50 each in fall. BY
having vegetables to feed my young
cattle, the two-year-old steers bring
$75 each in spring."-Advertis

heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give
teaspoonful Of california Syrup Of

perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
well, playful child again. A thor
Ough "inside cleansing" is Ofttimes all
that is necessary. 1t should be the
