sickness. | Yomited almost continual
" after eating and ! felt miserable
both day and night My nights were
restless and | walked up in the morn
ing feeling worse than when / went to
bed the night before
Il saw where people I knew were en-
dorsing Tanlac and / knew they would
rot do this unless Tanlac was worthy
OF their praise, so | decided to take It,
Il noticed good results at once and
have not vomited once since I started
to take Tanlac. Ny appetite Is i'm
proving. my stomach is getting much
stronger and ] am now able to eat
regular meals for the first time in a
number Of months.
Il feel much better throughout the
day and when night time comes am

water swept on its way. Over 100000
feet Of lumber was carried through
and strewn over the land for over a
mile. The rest of the lumber lies
stranded on the muddy bottom Of the
mill pond. The water has turned
from the old bed and is gorging out

Washington, Aug. 2.-Potato late
blight, fungous disease, capable Of
causing enormous destruction, has ap-
peared in several States from Maine to
ccrding to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The blight oc-
Cured early this year and reports
show that it is more prevalent than
usual. While in some fields the blight
is already beyond control, prompt
spraying with Bordeaux mixture will,
in most cases, still be effective, the
specialists advise. Unless potato grow
ers spray thoroughly with Bordeaux
mixture, ttey fear that the large pota-
to crop that has been promised will
not he realized, as late blight. if un-
controlled, is capable Of reducing the
national crop at the rate Of 2,uvO,00o
bushels per Cay.
Potatoes in the northern States are
Just beginning TO form tubers To
produce large crop the tops must be
kept healthy till frost, as the tubers
increase in size most rapidly during
the last weeks Of the season. The late
blight kills the tops and causes the
tubers to rot in the ground. The blight
starts in a few Ccntcrs in the held
where diseased potatoes were planted.
Brown spots develop on the leaves anc
a whitish mildew appears on their un-
der side. Frequent rains and warm,
muggy weather furnish ideal condi-
tions for the development of the blight
under which the foliage bHghts rapid
IL. the leaves hang hlackened and dead
and TIE tubers begin to rot. Dry and
hot weather on the other hand tends
to check the progress of the blight but
growers should spray Immediately and
not trust their crops entirely to I'M
provement in weather conditions.
AS an effective preventive Of late
blight Bordeaux mixture has proved
it's value for c5 years. Every grower
from Maine to Michigan and south TO
Virginia is urged to spray at once and
repeatedly
How to Make Bordeaux Mixture.
Home made Bordeaux mixture IS
best. Use
Blueston. copper sulphate>. 4 pounds,
Quickime. pounos'
water 50 gallons.
Prepare the copper sulphate by sus-
pending il in a gunny sack just below
the surface Of several gallons Of water
in a clean barrel When the sulphate
is dissolved, which requires three or
four hours, remove the sack and stir
into the barrel enough additional wat
er TO make exactly 25 gallons of the
copper solution.
Prepare the lime by slaking it
slowly end thoroughly in a clean bar
rel, strain, and add enough additional
water to make exactly 25 gallons of
lime milk. Stir thoroughly.
Pour the two ingredients together
into another barrel, or better directly
into the spray tank, if it will hold 50
gallons. It is highly important to stir
the mixture very thoroughly and to
strain both ingredients before they
are combined as otherwise clogging Of
the spray nozzles might result. Use
copper or bronze wire strainer Of
eighteen meshes to the inch. Do not
put copper sulphate or Bordeaux mix
ture into tin or iron vessels: use wood
or copper containers. Mix the Bor-
deaux as needed and apply at ence. It
Is never so good after 1t has settled.

HOUSES FOR RENT IN
HOLLAND ARE SCARCE
{ BY Associated Press. }

Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 6
The house-hunter in Holland in
The days of the great world-war of
1?17 is assuredly an object for pity
The scarcity of houses for rent at
Amsterdam, The Hague and other
centers has greatly increased because
of wars interference with the house
building industry and of the influx
of foreign population into the Meth
eriands. At The Hague, for in
stance, of Belgians alone there are
thousands who have temporarily set
tleo. The lack is particularly felt
in respect of apartments-the Dutch
"upper house or "lower house
ranging between 5000 and $500 in
rent.
SO keen was the hunt after houses
in Amsterdam recently that high re
wards were offered for addresses of
houses to let Races have taken
place, and bribing has been Drac-
t:ced TO find homes. If in the morn
ing a house was to let, in the after
noon it was let. In the brief mean
time thirty or forty prospective ten
ants had rung the bell and asked to
see it.
The result is that landlords have
become more and more particular
and their demands have multiplied
A special law was passed by Parlia
ment to prevent the undue imitation
| of rates, so that the natural effect
of the demand has been artificially
prevented Certain classes of house,
ARE unobtainable save by purchase
and the purchase prices have risen
enormously. certain houses changing
hands rapidly at an ever-mountinf
