WHY TT SUCCEEDS
Because It's For One Thing Only,
and Punta Gorda People APP
preciate This

Nothing can be good for every
thing,
Doing one thing well brings
success.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for one
thing only.
For weak or disordered kid
neys.
Here is Punta Gorda evidence
to prove their worth.
Philip Blazer, retired farmer, L.
Cross St., says: "For the last ten
years Doan's Kidney Pills have
been my standard kidney remedy.
whenever | caught cold it always
settled on my kidneys and at
times | could hardly get out of
bed because of the severe pain
that caught me in the small of my
back. Ny kidneys acted too
freely and were burning and
scanty in passage. | always use
Doan's Kidney Pills, which | get
at the Seminole Pharmacy and
they promptly cure an attack of
this kind"

Plenty of Potash and Niter


Good news for American farm
ers comes from Pennsylvania.
A mountain in Tioga county has
been found by State GeoIoglst
Demming to be composed Of rock
Analysing from 40 to 44.8 per
cent potash. In addition there is
a high percentage of inter in the
rock. Another mountain a few
miles distant in Potter county is
OF the same geological formation
and is believed it will yield album
dainty of the same valuable
minerals.
Colonel Demming, the geolo-
gist, expresses the view that the
potash is present in the first men
toned mountain in colossal
quantities. " The lowest estimate
of the amount present is l2,OOO,-
600 tons. The pure article can be
Extracted by a simple process and
at a cost, OH a large scale, Of $40
ton. Potash now sells at 5000 a
ton.
The saltpeter (niter) deposits
lie in seams an inch or two thick
between the layers of the potash
bearing rock. Our inter comes
now principally from Chill,
though some is found in this
country in various forms. 1t is
high price, no matter in what
form it may be offered in fertili-
zars, whether in sulphate of am
monia, nitrate of soda, or inor-
ganic by-products.
Specimens of the rock Of this
mountain have been analysed at
several agricultural colleges and
two universities, all of which have
made favorable reports as to the
high percentage of these two val
liable minerals, according to the
Philadelphia North American.
Both minerals have many uses in
the arts and inter particularly in
the manufacturing of explosives,
besides being indispensable i'll ag-
riculture.
with this discovery, if it is all
that is thought to be, America has
abundant supplies of the three
minerals employed |
in agriculture: Potash, inter and |
phosphate. The soil of most A
merican fields has been slowly |
starving during the years of the
Great War for potash. Now it |
may be that there will be an
abundance and America may be
independent of Germany and of
AIsace also in that regard. Com
fertilizers have been used |
sparingIy or eschcwed altogether
by many American farmers in the
last year on account Of high |
prices. An era of low prices in
this very necessary aid to pro-
should set in soon if |
the alleged new supplies soon be-
come fully available.-Times-

CONDITION OF SOIL
OF GARDEN VITAL

When is the soil in proper condition
for seed sowing?
If the soil is fine enough SO that a
hole can be made with the forefnger
for transplanting, It is in ideal physi-
cal condition for planting or trans
planting. When the soil sticks to tho
finger 1t is too wet for best results,
and If the hole Immediately fllls up
with crumbling soil when the finger
is removed the soil Is too dry.
If it is free from Jumps and stones
and is we'll drained, one should rake
and work the soil until the handle
of the rake will easily sink into the
soil when 1t is laid down to mark
the row for planting small seeds.
If the hoe blade is used In marking
the row for beans, corn. or potatoes.
the soil should be fine enough SO that
the weight OF the hoe will make a
furrow 2 inches or 3 inches deep with
no pressure eXerted on the handle.
Working heavy soils when they are
wet causes them to pack and to make
large Jumps, a condition that canont
be overcome in several seasons.

TIMELY HINTS.
BY M. G. KAINS.

The great soup of the South is
chicken gumbo or chicken okra, but
pretty nearly every other soup that
has vegetables in It is sure to have
this one also. Except in private gar
dens 1t is scarcely known in the North.
1t is easy to grow II treated right.
After the we'll manfred or other
wise rich soil has become warm and It
is safe to SOW sweet corn and lima
beans SOW the okra seeds four inches
apart in rows not closer than three
feet. When the plants are three or four
inches tall thin them to stand about
foot apart. Keep the surface soil
free from weeds and loose till the
plants shade the ground. AS they
have striking leaves and beautiful
flowers they may be used as orna-
mentals in the flower bed and no one
need know that they are vegetables.
Call them by their scientific name.
Hibiscus esculentus, and most people
will treat them with the marked re-
spect they deserve! While the pods
are small and tender gather and slice
them across for soups, stews. DC. A
little later when nearly full grown
they may be gathered and the seeds
taken out to be cooked and served like
garden peas.
