TREAT SEED
POTATO SCAB
Clark County, Missouri, Farm Agent
Gives Some Easily Under
stood Directions
About It.

Raising potatoes Is quite as much
a city industry here in Keokuk as 1t
is farm industry in the country
hereabouts. How TO get the best and
biggest crop OF potatoes is told by
W. A. Hook, farm agent of Clark
county, Missouri, as follows:
In treating seed potatoes for scab
use formaldehyde at the rate of one
pint to thirty gallons of water. Cut
the tubers and place in gunny sack
and suspend them in the solution for
two hours. Lift and allow them to
drain and plant them at once.
We recommend early planting Of
the early varieties of potatoes and il
late potatoes are grown a reasonable
late planting of them. This Is done to
avoid the effect of the dry weather
which usually comes in midsummer.
AS to varieties for early use the
Potentate, the Six Weeks, the Early
Ohio, the Early Rose are all good.
For the late use Burbanl-. Rural New
Yorker and Carman or Maggie Mur-
ply are good Probably the Carman
is the most popular because of its
good eating and keeping quality.
Watch the potato patch closely for
the striped potato beetle These are
the insects that lay the eggs for the.
red potato bug that do so much dam
age to the potato crop. A careful in
spection each day early in the season
may DO away with the necessity for
spraying. Each female lays cluster
of eggs on the under side of the leaf
which many times contains as many
as one hundred eggs. If such clusters
are found they should be destroyed.
IL allowed to hatch the potatoes should
be sprayed as quickly as possible be-
fore the larvae destroys much of the
leaves.

Lemon Juice is
Skin Beautifier,
Also a Whitener

Many women use Just the juice Of
lemons to bleach or whiten the skin,
but pure lemon juice is acid, therefore
irritating, and should be mixed with
orchard white.
At the cost Of small Jar of ordin-
airy cold cream one can prepare a full
quarter pint of the most wonderful
lemon skin softener and complexion
beautifer, by squeezing the juice Of
two fresh lemons into bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through fine cloth SO no lemon
pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice Is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan, and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautffier.
Just try 1T! Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint Of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage 1t
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t should naturally help to
bring back to any skin the whiteness.
the sweet freshness and fexfbility OF
which It has been robbed by careless
ness or trying atmospheric conditions.

THIN, NERVOUS
FOLKS SHOULD
TAKE BITRO-
PHOSPHATE
Women Need II to Bring Pink Glow
of Health TO Pale Cheeks and
Forestal Teli-Tale Lines of
Age. Men Need II to Make
Strong, Vigorous Bodies
and Steady
Nerves.

Weak, thin people-men or WON
en--are nearly always nervous
wrecks; thus conclusiyely proving
that thinness, weakness, debility and
neurasthenia are almost invariably
due to nerve starvation Feed your
nerves and all these symptoms due
to nerve starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that the
best nerve food is an organic phos-
phate known among druggists as
Bitro-Phosphate. a five-grain tablet
of which should be taken with each
meal. Being a genuine nerve builder
and not stimulant or habit-forming
drug, Bitro-Phosphate can be safely
taken by the weakest and most
delicate sufferer. and the results
following it's use are often simply
astonishing.
Weak, tired people regain strength
and vigor; thinness and angularity
give way to plumpness and curves ;
sleep returns to the sleepless; conf.
dence and cheerfulness replace de-
bility and gloom; dull eyes become
bright, and pale. sunken cheeks re
gain the pink glow of health Bitro
Phosphate, the use of which is mex
pensive, also wonderfully promotes
the assimilation of food. so much ST

does not desire to put on flesh

HAVE DISPUTE
ABOUT FIGURES
Mrs NJ. M. conlee, Former Teacher
in keokuk Schools Who Quit
in Middle of Year Files
suit.
PROPORTIONS IN DOUBT
Method Of Paying Teachers to Pre-
vent Financial Famine in Sum-
mer Causes Problem
in Wages.

Mrs. n. NJ. Conlee filed suit il
the district court yesterday agains
the independent school district of the
Icity of Keokuk for a sum of money
which she alleges is due her under g
teachers contract made in 1917
Mrs. Conlee says she signed a con
/ tract to teach in the KeoEuk public
schools for one year and was to re
ceive $500 per month for twelve
calendar months.
While school closed June 4, 1915
she alleges that the contract pro-
yided that she was to receive S55. 40
during the vacation months of June,
July and August.
The petition states that on May 8,
1918, she left the schools and entered
into service of the United States
government in the bureau of aircraft
production at Washington, D. c.; that
The United States was at that
time at war. with Germany and that
she accepted the call to its service
from patriotic motives and that she
did SO with the knowledge and con-
sent of the superintendent of the
city schools.
She says she performed her duties
as a teacher from September 1, 1917,
to May 3, 1918, and for that period
received the salary called for in the
contract, $3.50 per month, but she
alleges that there is still due her
S221.60 less the unexpired term of
days from May to June 4, for which
the Independent school district of
Keokuk paid a substitute teacher.
Different Ways of Figuring.
The whole trouble grows out of
two different systems of accounting
in rather curious situation.
The Iowa law makes the school
month four weeks, and teachers sala-
ries are by the month But many
teachers prefer to get the money
throughout the year instead of hav-
ing no salary in the summer.
So the Keokuk board of education
some years ago began to pay the
salaries in twelve equal 'installments
throughout the year. Now when a
teacher quits in the middle of the
year, what proportion of the summer
salary TO go to her, and the proper
ton TO her substitute, may be figured
two ways. . The board here figures
one way. and Mrs Conlee and her
attorney, Frank NJ Ballinger, figure
ii another way.
Mrs. Conlee got much higher
salary in Washington than here, and
left when she was appointed to the
clerical position at the capital.
