Some fa1a earden Mood.

Market gardens near large consum-
ing centers should be increased so as
to meet, as nearly as possible, the
needs Of the community, and in order
to obviate the necessity Of transport
ing such products from distant points.
The planting of home gardens, espe-
cially for family needs and for pre-
serving food for future use, again
should be emphasized.
The commercial production of per-
ishabIes generally should be increased
above normal wherever 1t Is reasona
big clear that transportation and mag-
ketlng facilities will be available.

GREAT TRUTH MADE MANIFEST
Little Group of Followers Of the
Master First Had True concep-
ton Of Immortality.

In the mournful quiet Of Easter even
the whole world lay well hushed un-
der the half hope, half sorrow long
ago. No happy preparations stirred
the little group of friends and believ-
ers; all the busy ways were for the
enemies who made ready for their
feast with much outward show of cere-
monial.
Under the despair that overhung the
little outcast band lay the half con-
sclous, scarcely daring hope, like a
muffled dream. They had seen the
dead grain sink into the ground and
now waited for the coming forth of
the fruit. Living so long close to the
presence of the Master, it was not
strange that they could abide apart,
still under its influence, in unquestion-
ing simplicity expecting the fulfillment
Of his words: Except the grain fall
into the earth and die it cannot bring
forth fruit"
When the still, mournful even was
over, and the earliest breaking of day
showed them the empty husk Of the
tomb, the great truth of the ''fruit
brought forth" surged over them. One
by ono, breathlessly, each broke into a
musical utterance of faith and joy
from clear hearts that accepted. The
olden knowledge of the death of the
grain, so long familiar to them as a
process of nature, they had witnessed
now as applied to the spirit.

More Beans. peas. Peanuts.

As important features Of Its supple
mentary program for feeding the ma
ton, its armies, and the allies, the
United States department of agricul-
ture recommends that great attention
be paid to the production Of beans,
peas and peanuts. On these subjects
the program states:
"The production of beans and peas
should be increased in regions to
which they are adapted, because of
their high food value, keeping quail
ties, and availability for domestic or
export trade.
"Soy beans and peanuts should be
increased in order to supplement beans
and peas as human food, as source
of much-needed oil, and as animal
feeds.
"T.is production Of beans last year
in the six leading states increased
from 1O,715000 bushels to 15,701, 900
bushels, and peanuts from 35,324, 800
bushels to 6O,222,OO0 bushels. But
these increases proved to be greatly
needed, and there is every indication
that large Increases will be readily alb
sorbed in 1918.
''The peanut is especially valuable
because Of the oil 1t contains, for
which the need is great. In the South,
especially, soy beans and peanut meal
are proving very satisfactory as. par
tial substitutes for wheat. Both soy
beans and peanuts are Of great value
as forage crops"

Leuends Of the Cross.

The "wood of the cross" it is most
often said, was made from the olive
tree, chosen, according to some legends,
by the hand of our Savior Himself. The
pale color Of the olive leaves is be-
cause they still reflect the glory that
shOne on them when He was transfig-
ured on Olivet. Some hold that it was
the poplar from which our Lord was
compelled to fashion His cross, and
that is why it has never ceased to
tremble because it had part Of His
suffering. To this dap many French
Canadians refuse to cut 'popple."
Other legends say the poplar was Ju.
das' hanging tree.

IN THE SPRING

will be the great test Of q life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks Of life, it il the spring
time that brings Ill health. One of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in bad state Of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
OF house, factory or Office. 1t is the rea.
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack Of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
haps once week; such one as you
can get at any drug store, made up Of
May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated,
tiny, easily taken J, which has stood the
test of fifty years of approximately,

plodding along the street. There's no

as this vegetable extract of DR.. Pierce's
gives you the power to force yourself into
action. The brain responds to the new
blood in circulation, and thus you're ready
to make fight against stagnation which
holds you in bondage. Try 1t now! Don't

MAKE BATTLE ON
FOOD PARASITES
Billions of Dollars Damage to
Crops Has Been Prevented.
SPECIALISTS URGE BIG WAR
Assistance to BE Given Farmers to Re.
duce injury Caused by insects, Dis
eases, Mice, Rats, Squirrels
and Other Rodents.

Every effort should be made to pre-
vent losses In production, storage, and
transportation Of food In these days
when the conservation of every prod
uct contributing to our food supply
means so much, states the United
States department Of agriculture In Its
1918 campaign just announced.
Billions of dollars are lost every
year, says the statement, from such
preventable causes as insects, plant
and animal diseases, carelessness In
breeding, predatory animals, rats,
mice, ground squirrels and other ro-
dents. These losses are being held
in check by present agencies and can
be further greatly reduced or pre-
vented at a cost which is insignificant
when compared with the amount Of
damage done. Methods of controlling
many of these harmful factors are now
well established and should be more
widely adopted. A large loss on the
farms of the United States results
from the improper care of manure,
and its careless and ineffective use.
In these times of scarcity of fertiliz-
ing materials more attention than ever
should be paid to the conserving of
plant food from this source.
Animal Diseases and Parasites.
1t has been estimated that diseases
of animals, such as hog cholera, tuber-
culosls, contagious abortion, dourine,
Texas or tick fever, and others, cause
annual losses aggregating many mill
lions. Many Of these diseases, to a
still greater extent, can be prevented
or their rayages reduced considerably.
The department has greatly extended
its facilities for dealing with these
matters and viii assist farmers in
every feasible way.
The annual losses from insects and
plant diseases are enormous. 1t has
been conservatively estimated that
smuts Of wheat alone cause losses ag-
gregating $60,0O0,O00 annually. The
staff Of specialists in the department
of agriculture, as well as the STATS
in the state institutions, has been in
creased, and, in cooperation with the
forces in the various states, they will
be able to render more effective as
sistance to farmers during the coming
season than ever before.
Predatory Animals and Rodents.
The losses from animals injurious to
agriculture and to animal husbandry
are enormous. Native rodents cause
losses of grain, forage and other agri-
cultural products estimated at more
than S150,0O0,OO0. House rats and
mice levy toll of S2OO,OOO,000 upon
the nations food supply On the
western cattle ranges predatory ami
mails alone cause losses of live stock
amounting to S2O,OOO,00O to s3O,OOO,OOO
annually. Methods of eradication have
been developed. especially in the case
Of rodents, which will make it possible

"If the South neglects this

statement and advising en-
