EARLY POTATOES BEST
Late Planting Is Not Successful I'm
der Normal Conditions.

Manhattan. Kan, June 6.-Under
average conditions. the Kansas farm
err should not plant a late potato crop,
is the opinion of F. S. Merrill, assist
ant professor of horticulture in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
"A late crop of potatoes will suffer
from the extreme heat of late sum-
mer," said Professor Merrill In the
greater portion of Kansas dry weather
will more than likely destroy the crop
late in July or August or al least dam
age the crop to such extent that the
yield will be small.
THE potato grows best in a com
paratively cool climate, and when the
young plants come thru the surface of
the soil the hot sunshine of midsum-
mer will prevent a rapid growth"

photographs as can be obtained by this
new process will show whether there

whether the kidneys are normal and
able TO do the great burden put upon
them.
Unfortunately. what the liver can't
take care of passes on to the kidneys,
and the intimate relation between the
two often causes a disease of the kid
neys. One OF the poisons retained
within the system is uric acid in eX
cess.
Death would occur if the kidneys
did not work day and night in sep
arating poisons and uric acid from the
blood.
The danger signals are backache
depressions. aches and pains, heavi-
ness, drowsiness, rritability, head
aches. chilIiness, rheumatic twinges,
swollen joint. or govt.
This can be avoided by stimulating
the kidneys to increased action. and

chase Anuric, (Which is to be had
nowadays at almost any drug store) 4,
and take il three times a day. to-

the uric acid you can prevent and cure

aches due to this uric acid stored
within the system.

double strength is more potent than
lithia and IN most cases it will dissolve
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
