SPRING TONIC.

If you would have health you must
drink good water and plenty of it.
Just now when spring is beginning
operation, Doctor Nature shows the
way. It's water everywhere and in
everything. Man consists of fifty.
eight and a half per cent of water and
water makes seventy per cent of the
entire body weight. The habits of
mans cells aIe aquatic. Recent med
ical books written by the highest au
thorities of America and Europe
books published within the past two
yearS-give new emphasis to the need
and value of water in the human sys.
tenn One of he most authoritative
states that water is entitled to rank
as a food because it enters into the
structural composition of all foods as
we'll as into the tissues of the body.
One of the most universal faults is
neglecting to take enough water into
the system.
The time is coming when every en-
lightened farmer will have his water
supply inspected regularly. In our
better days we shall have a service
that will give to every section an ex-
animation and supervision of water.
used by human beings. In some
States analysis may be had at small
expense and it is flying in the face of
providence not to profit by this. The
cost Is nothing compared to the ben
ehts. And keep this in mind: You
cannot maintain your health and eff
cheney unless you drink good water
freely.
In these big DAYS NaDoleon ia in
eclipse, but he said many things that
endure; one OF them a water.

cles in my pharmacopoea."-Country

HOGS AND VELVET BEANS
A GREAT COMBINATION.

For the farmers of the lower South
who. because of the boil weeVil, are
seeking a substitute for cotton, velvet
beans and hogs offer n OF the pest
combinations we know of. We have
never advocated the entire el1mlna
ton of cotton, but as a supplement to
il corn, beans and hogs are proDaOIy
more promising than anything yet
found. In fact, we believe If the iowa
corn and hog farmer q VeIVsC
beans to his combination his amos
would be worth $500 to $500 an acre,
instead of $3.50 to 5000, as they now
are.
Last year the South Mississippi Elk

a severe July storm and excessive
rains. produced from $500 to 5000
pounds per acre of beans in the null
It is certainly safe to say that an acre
of land that will grow Is bushels OF
O will. at the same time, make z,OOO
pounds per acre Of beans. These
beans in the hull have a feeding value
onlv 10 per cent less than corn, so the
ton of beans is equal to 1900 POUNDS
of corn, or 80 bushels. This added TO
the Is bushels OF corn made on the
acre, gives us a total yield of feed to
At bushels of corn.
OF course a per acre production OF
feed like this means a low cost, and
especially is this the case where the
hogs harvest the crop, which n e
which they should by all means do.
Another consideration that should not
be lost sight of is the fact that the
bean vines add q very considerable
amount of nitrogen and humus to the
soil.
With eight or ten brood sows, forty
or fifty acres in corn an dbeans, a
permanent pasture Of Bermuda grass,
bur and white clover, and a success
sion of grazing crops Tor the spring
and summer, the farmer in the lower
South has an excellent supplment to
his cotton crop. In fact, he NAV make
it a substitute instead of a supple
ment, thus whipping the boil weevil
by starving him.
Hogs and beans are putting many
boil weevil-ridden sections on their
feet again, and we commend the com
bination to our readers.-PrOgressive

Have you observed whether or not
the children are pale, or have any
other need of medical inspection. Do
SO before hot weather comes. Does
your boy breathe with his mouth open;
is he a little backward in school; is
his appetite small or abnormal-is he
anything but altogether healthy?
Then take him to the best doctor you
know for a good medica Examination.
, Whe nthe doctor says his teeth, his
~adenoids, his eyes, or any other part
of his body needs attention, get it once
for him.
Plenty of thought is being given to
club matters just now, in spite of the
busy days on the farm. The roads
are getting better. Manage somehow
to go to the club meetings. One can
make up the work; she cannot make
up the meetings.
Plenty of invitations will come for
the young people. Why not forestali
the undesirable ones by uniting the
boys and girls, separately or together
into young peoples clubs, under your

with programs and other help.

Plenty of window and porch boxes

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR

SUGGESTIONS FOR APRIL.

Spring is here again and not one of
us feels a day older than she did a
year ago this time.
Plenty Of sunshine gives US a nne
chance to sterilize houses. Never
forget that no germ can live more
tina nhalf an hour in strong dlrect
sunlight.
Plenty of green vegetables will re-
move that tired feeling better than
all the bottled medicines in the world.
If you must cook them with water.
use the water in soups: it contains
the soluble, easily available mineral
salts.
Plenty of water glass ready to pack
the eggs during this month and next

when you want to sell. the fresh ones.

have right now, lettuce, p~arsnips, car
rots, satisfy, onions, asparagus, rad
ishes, turnip salad and spinach. Ii

Plenty of cultivated zinnfaS and
dwarf marigolds, ~calleopsis, column
bines, dwarf and climbing, cannas,
larkspur, hollyhocks, sweet Williams
and gaillardias, and such hot weather
blooming plants, will make your sar-

Plenty of song birds these days are

Supervision Of Private Banks.
There is an urgent demand for the
supervision of private banks. Indeed,
Il is difficult to understand why this
demand should have been denied so
long. The right to conduct bank has
always been regarded as a privilege;
II imposes a high duty upon him who
exercises the privilege. All other
kinds Of business in which the element
Of trust Ia so large q factor were long
since brought under State supervision.
There Ia no reason why corporations
exercising this privilege should be
subject TO supervision by the State,
and not the individual. II is time that
this exception to all the sound rules
OF government supervision should be
wiped out.
Control Of Public Utilities.
We have declared for the control by
Chicago OF its own local public utili
tie. Just how this control should be
worked out Is problem peculiarly
resting upon the people of Chicago
The great metropOlses OF the world

cities relate themselves to the bust.

fact, are closely interviewer with their
daily life, Tho question. therefore, Of
the control OF the public utilities Of
Chicago principally affects the people
OF Chicago. and they should have the
right OF control OF such utilities. The
form that such control shall take will
not answer the need unless Il shall be
satisfactory to the people of Chicago.
