SOME RESULTS OBTAINED

~T is not to be presumed
4 that the governments eff
~ forts to lower food prices
is going to bring about the
millineum in the form of pre-
war prices. But it is evident
already that some good is be-
ing accomplished.
Release of boards of food
stuff valued at several millions
of dollars is already indicated
in reports on the governments
campaign. Principal among
the items thus far reported as
having been forced into the
market through the activities
of district attorneys and spe-
cial state food commissions are
such staples as eggs, butter and
sugar. More than 40,000,000
eggs, it is estimated, have al
ready been withdrawn from
hoarders who were holding
them to influence the market
or obtain higher prices.
At least 100000 pounds of
butter in excess of normal sto-
rage is reported. The recov-i
cry of $3.50 bags of wheat is
reported from Boston; the de-
partment of Justice has an
nounced that the district attor-
ney in Kansas City has taken
over 100000 pounds of beans,

tains more than one-half of one per

Keep the cucumbers picked if you
want to keep the vine bearing.
Buds of many plants drop on ac-

Grass paths are fine to use and see

Sow radish, lettuce, peas. and beans
for late fan use. They are OF fine
quality in the fall.
Plow up the old strawberry bed

Do not stack grain nor straw near

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.

of DR.. Edwards determination net to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calonel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calorael. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth!
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with The
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t IS best nc;
