BEST "SPRING TONIC"

"Rhubarb.' says writer in the
Woman's Home Companion, lis one
of our best spring tonics. 1t is cheap,
it is plenty. Anyone with a bit of a
back yard can grow a few plants. 1t
can be used in a variety of ways and
what cannot be used at once can be
packed away in cold water in sealed
glass jars ready for winter. Nothing
is more acceptable than the first sauce
dish of stSyed pie plant Rhubarb
can find a place anywhere on the menu,
from a cold rhubarb soup. a rhubarb
cocktail with white grapes, a sauce to
serve with fish, or a conserve with
meat, a jellied rhubarb salad with
mayonnaise TO desserts without num-
Der (hot or cold), including ice cream
with strained rhubarb sauce. There is
no course in which it may not appear,
though in only one at a meal Re-
member. there is a great difference in
the quality of the fruit, SO see to it
that you select a fine-grained. tender

GIVE CORN CROP
AN EVEN CHANCE
One Fall Frost Is nj C h
Worse Than Three
Spring Frosts

Washington, d. c., April 12.-Early
fall frosts every few years cause
enormous losses of corn in the north
ern third of the United States. Each
September there is a feeling of fear
that frosts may come ten days earlier
than usual and prevent the corn from
ripening. Every fall, millions of peo-
pie are hoping that the first fall
freeze will be delayed ten days long
er. This anxiety and this oft recur-
ring loss due to fall frosts. can be
largely prevented by earlier planting.
Concerning the ability of corn to
withstand low temperatures some
work conducted during the past three
years by the office of corn investiga-
tions of the L. S. Department of
Agriculture in Southern. Central and
Northern States. has brought out
points of practical value. Points
which can now be probably applied

may be the forerunner of that most

consumption.
No local treatment affords perma-

that S. 5. s. is the one remedy whlch
attacks the disease at its source, the

THE PACIFIsT OF rs

The pacifsts of '76 are quoted as
follows in the Woman's Home Com
panion:
Think of plunging into war be-
cause of a petty dispute over taxes,
they must have said. No lives have
been lost; our territory has not been
invaded, our homes have not been
burned. And yet We purpose to fight,
why2 Because England puts a petty
tax on a luxury like tea. She offers
TO meet us more than half way. she
even promises to spend the whole pro-
ceeds of the tax right here in America.
And yet we are going to war over it,.
Could anything be more wicked, more
insane?'"

NO SURE WAY OF SEPARATING
GOOD STOCK FROM BAD

There is no sure method of sepa-
rating good stock from bad,' says AL
bert w. Atwood in the Woman's Home
COMPANION. Even John d. Rookie
feller can't always do that. But when
YOU get n new stock offering, ask your
local banker how much he will lend
on il. If he will have nothing to do
with il. throw the circular into the
waste basket, If you want to be dou-
bly sure. try another bank under a
different management and in a differ
ent locality. If they also refuse to
lend on the stock. you may be sure it
amounts to very little"

You Will Never Be Cured
by Local Treatment With
SPRAYS and Douches.

Catarrh is a condition of the blood
and can not be cured by local appli-
cations of sprays and douches; this
has been proven by the thousands
who have vainly resorted to this
method of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected or
experimental with. The wrong treat
ment is valuable time lost, during
which the disease is getting firmer
hold upon its victim, and making it
more difficult for even the proper
treatment to accomplish results.
Though Catarrh makes its first ap-
pearance in the nostrils, throat and
air passages, the disease becomes

TOO MUCH MEAT AS
BAD AS TOO LITTLE

100 much meat is as bad for the
body as to little" we are told in the
Woman's Home Companion. During
the digestion of meats, fish and eggs,
acids are formed. In order to prevent
the accumulation of too much of this
acid in the system 1t is necessary to
eat also fresh vegetables and fruits.
which have properties that neutralize
the acids formed by the meat. This
is one reason why meat and potatoes
are usually served together. It is safer
to have too little meat than to eat too
little fruit and too few vegetables"

ASKS TOO LITTLE

at is not because our Government
asks too much of us that we seem to
have lost respect for it, says a writer
in the woman's Home Companion,
but because it asks too little. II the
Government were to demand one year
of every mans life in service to it,
there would be instilled into every
mans being a respect for that Govern
ment which most men now never
