George a. Gorgas whom you all know

sufferer in this vicinity that if two
bottles of Allenrhu, the sure con-
querer of rheumatism, does not stop
all agony, reduce swollen joints anu
do away with even the slightest
twinge of rheumatic pain, he viii
gladly return your money without
comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous re-
suits have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffering
and agony was intense and piteous
and where the patient was helpless.
Allenrhu relieves at once. Imme-
diately after you start to take it the
good work begins. 1t searches out
the uric acid deposits. dissolves the
secretions and drives rheumatic
poison out of the body through the
kidneys and bowels.
It's marvellous how quickly it acts
Blessed relief often comes in two
days, and even in cases where the
suffering is most painful all traces

Mr.. James II. Allen, the discoverer

PIMPLES

Why so many young men and

Every druggist in America who

more than 10 days to do it.
The mighty healing power of Peter

Eczema. Salt Rheum. Sore Nipples,
Old Sores, Ulcers, Naricose Ulcers
blind, bleeding and itching piles, is
almost beyond belief and the small

Dr. w. Burg; of Erie. Pa, writes:
"I had suffered with Eczema of the
left ear and scalp for over 25 years
but a small box of Petersons Oint-

IRRIGATION IN EAST.
Surface Method Best Suited for Az
erage Conditions on Farms of
Eastern States.

An irrigating system on many of
the farms of the Eastern States
would be a profitable investment.
Such a system is an insurance
against summer drought, for timely
irrigation during the dry spells may
save. a crop or greatly increase its
yield. H..
Of the three methods of irriga-
ton, spray, subirrigation, and sur
face, the last named seems to be
the best suited for the average east
ern farm. This is the opinion Of IT.
rigation engineers &of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
who have made a study of the stu
alton. The surface method is sim
pie and inexpensive, and is COM
monty used in the arid regions of
the West, 1t consists of merely
running the water over the surface
of the soil either in small open
bitches or burrows between the rows
of plants, or flooding the fields, the
latter method being limited to small
grain, alfalfa, or grass. The man.
agement of an .irrigating system
suitable for aestern farms, includ-
ing the pumping plants and costs,
are outlined in Farmers Bulletin
500, "Surface Irrigation for East
ern Farms" recently published by
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Cost of Installing System.
When the spray system is used
the water carried under pressure in
pipes and applied to the crops in a
fine spray. The cost of installing
this system, which ranges from $3.50
to 5000 pc racre, limits it's practi-
cability to small areas where highly
intensive farming or market garden
ing is p~racticed, and sure markets
and the ability to produce and ham
die a high-grade crop is assured. 1t
has the advantage over the surface
method of uniformity of distribut-
ing water, and that it requires con-
siderable less labor to operate.
The subirrigating method consists
of a system of tile laid under the
ground through which the water is
distributed. In addition to being
