The Best Way to Treat
Constipation
~ S. c. BABCOCK. N. D.

The medical books name many drugs
that viii move the bowels. The drug store
shelves are loaded down with laxatlves,
purgatnes and pills. The trouble with
most of them is the after-efiects. Con.
stipated people know that pills work al
right tor a little while, but they soon lose
their effect, and change has to be made
TO something else, The constant taking o.
pills results in form OF bowel inactivity
that is difficult to cure. The system be
comes so accustomed to laxative diug
that the organs Just won't work without
them. and so the pill habit becomes as ba1

idea. He saws the bowels should first be
gently moved with Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets, and in the meantime laxative foods
only should be eaten. Figs, prunes, olive
oil. spinach, bran, vegetables and fruits are
fine for constipation. Chew every bite
thoroughly, eat little meat, and be as
active as POSSIBLE. Now, doesn't that
seem sensible? Pleasant Pellets will start
the bowels working right; then it is up to
YOU to keep them right by right eating

Before the next school year each
teacher will be required to pass an
examination in the subject of Ele-
mentary Agriculture, and to teach it
in school thereafter In order to give
teachers a chance to review this sub
jet we have arranged to have list
of questions and answers in these
columns each week.
We do not presume to know what
the examination will be, neither to set
our selves up as teachers of teachers
but if we can know that we have
helped some one either teacher or
farmer to a better understanding of
the principles that underlie the BUSH
ness of farming we shall feel that we
have been repaid for the labor in
volved.
Prof F. J. Bowlds, principal Of the
County High School, and Jas. W..
Harth, County Farm Agent have "a
greed to prepare some of the ques-
tons and answers, and will pass up
on all answers given.
l. What is Agriculture?
Agriculture is the science and the
art of the business of producing
plant and animals that are useful to
man.
2. What are the forces controlling
plant and animal growth?
The two forces controlling plant
and animal growth are Heredity and
Environment.
B. With which of the two forces
above named is the Science of Agri-
culture concerned?
The Science of Agriculture is more
directly concerned with heredity. and
has for its object the development
of plants and animals better adapted
to the use of man and more respon-
SlNC W INC ldDOI DCSlONCu upon tllClll
T. With which of the forces is the
Art of Agriculture concerned?
The Art of Agriculture is concern
ed with Environment and has for its
object the improvement of environ
ment to the end that the plant or
animal may use all its energy in
growth and not waste its energy in
the struggle for existence. For ex-
ample we keep weeds out of corn to
reduce competition, we shelter stock
in winter to conserve energy and
keep off disease, and we provide them
with more food than nature would
supply if left to themselves.
5. Which of the two forces is more
responsive to the labors of man?
The laws of Heredity are unchange-
able. but the environment may be
brought to any desired degree of per-

Young Farmers to the Frons

young people on farms. Their
enthusiasm and personal in

administration will mean much
Ito their parents and to their
state and the nation as we'll.
Their work is SO important
that the farmers of this coun-
try will fall far short of their
expectations unless the young
people make whatever sacri-
fees may be necessary to help
produce large crops.
Farming in many instances
has been prosperous during re-
cent years. It is quite true
that some localities have had
to contend with drouth this
year. Yet the Southwest is in
excellent condition. financially.
Doubtless many young people
who have not done farm work
IN recent years will be glad to
serve as field hands because
the country requires it and be-
cause they want a part in help
ing win the war. The burden
OF taking up arms has already
fallen upon the young men of

not called for at the front will
serve no less willingly in the
fields. The girls who are anx-
