10 CENT "CASCARETS"
IF BILIOUS OR C0STIVE
For Sick Headache, Sour Stomach,
Sluggish Liver and BoweIs-They
work while you sleep.

Furred Tongue, Bad Taste, Indiges-
ton, Sallow Skin and Miserable Head
aches come from a torpid liver and
clogged bowels, which cause your
stomach to become filed with undi-
gested food, which sours and ferments
like garbage in a swill barrel. That's
the first step to untold misery-indi-
gestion, foul gases, bad breath, yellow
skin, mental fears, everything that is
horrible and nauseating. A Cascaret
tonight will give your constipated
bowels a thorough cleansing and
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist will keep you feel
ing good for months.-Adv.

that, so now will you whisper our mes

almost before the Leaves had sent
their whispers sailing on the wings Of
Mr.. Winds grandchildren, the Breezes,
the Brownies arrived.
''They wore red suits and red hats,
and looked quite rosy and red them
selves. 'Ah, such good, crisp, cold
evening" said they. We shouldn't be
surprised if the leaves all fell tonight

see how they are blowing
"sWe will come down. whispered
the Leaves, but the Brownies didn't
hear. Instead the grandchildren of
Mr.. Wind heard and they came back
to play with the leaves.
"Oh, how they tossed and chased
each other. The Leaves dropped from
the trees and skinned along the
ground. And then they would fly up
a little way again and the Breezes
would catch them
''F'or a long time they played, while
below the old apple tree the Brownies
sat and ate the red apples.
"'We'n have a bonfire and roast
some Of the apples said Billie
Brownie.
'Hurrah 7 shouted the other Brown
les.
'sAnd they set to work. First
they got sticks and tWigs, and they
began to set up fine fire.
''The Breezes were so interested that
they stopped playing, and the Leaves
dropped about. Let's watch the bon
fire. said the Breezes.
But what will become of us?'
asked the Leaves.
Maybe the Brownies will put you
in the bonfire, and you can blaze too
and hear what the merry little flames
have to tell you
Sail right, said the Leaves. But
you must help US little, Breezes.'
$50 the Breezes blew ever so little
and the Brownies began to notice that
the wind was dying down.
1--WE might use some of these
leaves for the bonfire suggested one
of the Brownies. They don't seem to
be blowing about any more
"'Fine idea,' shouted another
Brownie. And to work they all went
picking up all the leaves they could
gather in their chubby little arms.
ION the bonfire went the leaves, and
the merry little flames rushed up to
greet them.
"Hello leaves said the Flames,
will you help us roast the red apples
for the Brownies?'
"'Yes!' shouted the Leaves, and as
they said that, great big blaze came
from them.
"How beautifully those leaves
burn said the Brownies, and as the
leaves grew dull and turned up at the
edges they smiled to themselves in an
other little flash of light.
"'What would we do without leaves
and apples and the wind, and all such
wonderful things?' said Billie Brownie.
And anyone could have told him that
they helped make us joyous and glad
to be alive!"

the original purchase.
But this added value of $6S2.2O does
not represent all the benefits Wnlcn
have come to the farm from the III
PRODUCTION of undertakings. The DIS
appearance of the sloughs, and OF the
superfuous water in other places, per-
nnits the division of the land into reg
ular, and therefore more easily Gull
tiyated fields. Such fields, having now
uniform soil, can be cultivated IN
less time, and crop rotations can De AZ
ranged to better advantage, than
where the land is broken up by nom
cultivable areas. A dry, loose SOIL can
be worked more easily than Wet
sticky soil.
Furthermore, a field which in some
seasons is productive, and In others
non-productive by reason of excessive
moisture, may be more detrimental 10
the farmers success than swamp
land; for such lands are often ploWed,
planted, cultivated, and then the crop
is destroyed by an influx of water !;
whereby not only are they made nom
productive, but labor and seed are
lost. Drainage not only removes the
risk Of such losses but improves the
landscape by substituting broad, fully
cultivated areas for such as are dotted
with sloughs, breeding frogs and mos
uuitoes and giving forth i'll odors from
dead fish and decaying vegetation. 1t
is first step in good bodybuilding,
and, as a permanent improvement, it
increases the value of all neighboring
lands, and benefits the entire COM
munity.
All of these benefits are illustrated

A FARM PROFITABLY TILED.
on this eO-acre field three systems OF
tile drainage were necessary. This
shows the advantage with which two
neuhbors can cooperate in putting
in a line of tile. An obstacle so
trivial as line fence should not be
permitted to prevent economical
drainage. The owner Of this land
says that tile pays for itself every
year and that 5000 expended on tile
has raised the value Of the 80 acres
$1,000.
face-drains is not, therefore, lost, even
when it is intended to later introduce
an undertakings system.
The individual farmer with small
means should first select the area the
thing of which will drain the most
land at the least expense. In rolling
country, where sufficient fall can be
had for outlets near the surface, or
without expensive open bitches, small
T tiles can be used around the sides of
drainage areas Outletting on a hillside
or at the edge Of slough. This
method often improves large tracts at
small cost, and as the improved lands
increase in productiveness, funds will
be supplied by which the tile lines
can be extended, connected, and the
expensive mains finally put in. This
method has been used in many of the
best tiled countries. In some instances
it has been twenty years from the lay
ing Of the first laterals to the compile
ton of the last main.
Immediately after construction, pro-
vision should be made for annual
maintenance. A drainage improve
ment, properly carried out and main
tanned, will add it's initial cost to the
value of the land and pay dividend
on the original investment.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-01-05

wettest and most difficult to handle,
and it is necessary that construction
be carried on during the Wettest sea-
sons. Consequently, the contractor
should base his calculations as to time
and methods on the worst conditions.
To let contract to the lowest bid
der" regardless of his experience or
equipment, is often to invite serious
disappointment and loss.
Delays, especially, are expensive to
landowners, for not only is money in
vested in incomplete work, but often
times a failure to have the ditch COM
plete at the time fixed means the loss
Of crop. In the drainage of swamp
land, which cannot be piowed until
after the work is completed, it means
delay of one or more years before
the cultivation will be paying invest
ment. With scarcely an exception,
where losses have accrued to agricul-
tural interests through the delay of a
year in the construction Of proposed
drainage works, these losses have been
greater than the cost of the improve
ments. The attempt to save one or
two cents on the cubic yard for ditch
ing, or on the rod for tile trenches, by
giving the job to pOOrly-equipped
man, often becomes an expensive pro-
ceeding. Better pay more to COM
petent man, and be sure of good
job, completed ION time"
The kind, size and completeness Of
the drainage works needed in given
locality, the methods of doing the work
and adjusting the costs, must be de-
termined by the local conditions What
| is good practice in one place may
not be practical in another. The char
acter of the ground, surface slopes,
crops raised, and value of land, all
have bearing on the subject. In
any locality the first consideration is
an outlet or channel by which the wa
] ter may be carried away. In some
localities nature has provided such an
outlet. In others, it may be necessary
for several landowners to band tOgeth-
er and construct a channel, of suf-
ficient size and depth to serve as the
main outlet of network of bitches
which will give relief during wet
years. In many parts of the state,
where such outlets naturally exist or
are already completed, crops have suf-
fered from an excess of water in the
immediate vicinity, for the reason that
the water from the cultivated fields
could not readily escape. Consequent
~, for complete drainage, it is neces-
sary to have, on the individual farm,
a thorough system for collecting the
water as it falls and carrying it to the
main outlet.
Unless the ground is very fiat, the
location of proposed drains can be
best determined when the ground is
free from vegetable growths. A heavy
growth of crops or weeds may cause
low places to look high and high places
low A field freshly plowed or sown
| is in the best condition for locating
lines of drainage. If such field is
examined Immediately after heavy
rain, there will be little danger of
making mistake in locating the lines.
If these are at once marked out by a

idea that his prosperity will be de-
noted by the amount of land in his
possession. He does not realize that
one acre of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS land
may bring him greater income, with
half the labor and expense of cultiva-
ton, than two acres of the undrained
land; or that it could be acquired at
Dne-third to one-half the cost of the

is purchased with the idea that land

other aspects of our human nature.
The whole question of dress is many sided one If
people had less seasoned consciences they would
not spend so muh money on their fine feathers. To
throw around the money lavshy for swell millinery and
dress making, when that money would feed starv-
ing Belgian children, would help families in misfor-

rade makes work for trades depending on this kind OF
employment. Yet if some of this money was given to
charity it would also go to useful labor.
If people have the fine Clothes it may well be doubt
full if the wearing of them to church keeps anyone away
What dscourages the poor not the swell clothes, but
the fact that they may creep into church and out again
many times without anyone noticing them. Poor people
enjoy seeing display of fine feathers as well as any
else and the chances that the style parade of

DRAWING PEOPLE TO THE FARMS.

To promote the Back to the Farm Movement, the Farm
Settlement Board of New Brunswick is displaying motion
pictures depicting interesting phases of farm life In this
country working people begged and impored to 60
back the land and raise food but they slow to do
The great majority of Gifted people look upon farm
life with horror They may be living in some dirty, un-
sanitary, crowded tenement Country life might be
cheaper healthier comfortable But existence un-
der the stars and the wide spaces of the sky would
horribly lonesome to them.
These people miss the companonship Of crowded
streets They like the stir and motion and life of it.
They enjoy the gossipng with neghbors There is al
ways something doing Encounters with the police street
fights the rattle Of the hurdy gurdy the cries of the street
vendors the mischief Of the kes all these and thous
and other incidents make sum life pleasant to people who
have always lived in it.
It would seem if under the present conditions the
money motive must have effect Farm labor brings
better wages than it used to- The farm hands get high
priced vegetables for nothing it does not cost them much
for clothes Unless they spendhrfths they and their
families could have money in the bank at the end of
year. Land high yet somehow the foreigners manage
to get farms of their They rent little piece of land
shares sell half their crop for good prices and in few
years they ready to take farm mortgage It is
good proposition for hundreds of thousands Of families
The movies and all other forms of publicity ought to be

Our social and industrial troubles need not be sur

men generally have long been predicting them When the
labor organizations and railroad heads threaten to plunge
the country into chaos there underlying causes
than mere dispute hours of labor and the value OF
a wage.
The almighty dollar has long been called the God of
the Americans. 1t is of partly UNJUST character
zaon Our people generous, benevolent and Sympa-
thetc Public charity has advanced further here than any
where else in the world But love of money was never
so developed as among people, and are getting the
fruitage of it.
Most of us are affected by the hustle of the age We
see our neighbors driving automobiles living in handsome
houses buying costly furniture taking expensive outing
trips We all the thing and we grab for it any
where see it.
The spirit of ruthessness seemed to descend the
commercial world during the expansion following the
Civil war. Bribery became common In order to secure
valuable franchise rights, clever lawyers employed
to defy the spirit of the laws High finance wrecked
railroads for the benefit of the inside gang,

THE INAUGURATION DATE.

Congress at its coming session will be asked to change
the date of the Inauguration of the President from March
to the last Thursday of April The argument for the
change that of the danger of exposure of the President
and other public men, date early March a, when
the weather at Washington is so frequently bad.
The whole schedule of elections inaugurations and
meetings of Congress out of date and fitted to the col
onia age before the days of railroads In those times
when it took so long for to travel and public men
to get the capital it seemed natural to have inaug
uraton four months after election But it is long time
now between the choice of officials and their begin
ming work Moving the date ahead would simply length
en- this undesirable extended period
Our public ought not to 60 through with long and
formal exercises under cold March wind in Washngons
climate There two ways to remedy that One would
be hold these exercises indoors This is PERFECTLY sim
pe But it goes contrary to Washngton's notion of an
inauguration that it not much for giving new adj
mnistraton impressive send off, to supply public
holiday and big outdoor spectacle and draw business to
Washington.
1t would be logical plan to hold elections in Septe-
Der and naugurae in November to elect in March and
inaugurate in May. But such plans would make big
change in political customs and the idea of an indoor
Inauguration seems practicable. Let Washington
enjoy all the parades and inaugural balls it get
Presidents to arrange But let it not expect lot of
elderly men stand bare headed for long ceremonies in
weather that is practically winter.

THE RIGHT MAN
IN THE RIGHT JOB

In the April American Magazine is
an article entitled Are You Square
Peg in the Round Hole?" by Herman
Schneider. dean of the School of En-
cheering of the University of Cincin-
natl. Dean Schneider has devoted his
life to making successes out of fail
ures and to finding the right job for
the right man. He believes that fail
ure is seldom more than an indication
Of the right path to success. Among
other things he says:
Every individual has certain gen.
eral traits; every kind of work has
certain general characteristics. The
problem is to interpret the traits Of
the individual, classify the character
istics of the job, and then guide the
individual into the job for which he
is supremely fitted. This is one real
employment problem.
There are very many human char
acteristics, but there are a few broad
and general ones which frequently
make for success or failure.
"There is a type of man who

wants to get on the same car every
morning, get off at the same corner.
go to the same shop. ring up at the
same clock. stow his lunch in the
same locker, 60 to the same machine
and do the same class Of work day
after day. Another type of man
would go crazy under this routine:
he wants to NOV about, meet new
people, see and do things. The first
is settled; the second is rowing. The
first might make a good man for a
shop manufacturing standard prod
uct; the second might make good
railroad man or a good outdoor car
penter."
