continued Mr.. Howley, 81 have been
bothered with stomach trouble and
indigestion. Even as small boy ]
would have indigestion in the worst
way. AS I grew up / gradually got
worse until finally reached the point
to where everything / ate would cause
me to suffer something awful after
wards. Those terrible headaches
kept up, too, and sometimes the pain
was so severe it would almost drive
me iwld. This trouble just kept on
until I was just about all in, and had
loose a lot of time from my work.
Handling lumber is no easy job, and
1 was simply too weak and run down
to keep at it.
FINALLY Tanlac came along, and to
tell the truth, I had very little faith
in it, but thought I would try a
bottle of it anyway, and that first
bottle did me so much good that / just
kept right on taking this wonderful
medicine. The more Tanlac I took
the better I got, and now am in
better condition in every way than
I have been since was boy six
years old. I haven't had head
ache since ! took my first bottle Of
Tanlac, my stomach is in such fine
condition that I can eat just any
thing want and I never suffer any
afterwards. It is simply wonder
fult to geel like this after suffering
for twenty long years and medicine
that will do that much for man
reserves all the good things that are
said of it. I have gained eight
pounds already, and am so well and
strong that I am getting ready to go
back home and get on the job again.
I sleep like a top every night now,
and I feel so fine every moning that
I just know I can get around and
handle as much in a day as any OF
the boys. You can put me down as
a regular booster for Tanlac, for it
has been a godsend to me-"

OLDER THAN JOHN SMITH.

The Magazine Section of the Min
neapolis Journal of Sunday last de-
voted a whole page to John Smith
OF Cass Lake, and John Shell Of
Leslie County, KY, both reputed by
their friends to be the oldest men in
the world. Our Johns "ph1zog"
ought to be enough proof to convince
most anybody but Shell paid taxes
back in 1910 and has papers to prove
that he is 131, while our John claims
he is 1873, but his history is backed
only by legends and vivid stories Of
what happened in the early days, of
Jontia's Conspiracy, and Tecumseh's
Uprising, and the Sioux and Chip
pewa Uprising, and the Sioux and
Chippewa wars, but with no records
to prove it. It doesn't bother John
Smith who is the oldest man; he's
worth seeing, if there were 'steen old
er men than he.-Cass Lake Times.

Articles of Interest to the Farmers
Edited by P W. Huntmer County Agent Merose Minnesota
The following article taken from

The following article taken from
the University Farm Press News"
of October Is undering the heading
of Bankers Hens Net Him $1,000 A
Year" refers to the flock of Frank
E. Bauer now of Barnum, Mime
sofa who was formerly a Stearns
County boy raised on farm near
Spring Hill.
Frank E. Bauer, bank cashier of
Barnum, Carlton County, says he is
going to make net profit this year
of $1,000 from his flock of White
Leghorn chickens. N. E. Chapman,
poultry specialist of the extension di-
vision of the state agricultural col
lege,who induced Mr.. Bauer to 60 in.
to the chicken business back in 1915
and who has kept close check on the
side line of the banker every year
since, is likewise positive that the
Bauer chicken ranch will show pro-
fits this year of $1,000 if not more.
Mr.. Bauer's "ranch" is the back of
two lots on the corner of business
street. In 1915 he made a profit OF
s115 on a flock of 1913 chickens
purchased when they were day old.
In 1916 his returns above the cost OF
feed for 500 chickens were $5l4.
Every year since his Leghorns have
made a substantial addition to his
income. This year he has sold 200
hens that have passed the pullet year
for s1.50 a piece as breeders, and
has 500 pullets that are just begin
ming to lay. Later he will sell many
of the pullets for $500 each at
Duluth and Superior.
Three hundred and fifty farmers
comprise the State Poultry Demon
stration Community at Barnum. Mr..
Chapman has been its sponsor several
years. 1--WE are really demonstrating
not simply experimenting" he says,
"what may be done with poultry it
the hens are we'll bred, we'll fed and
well housed and the products we'll
sold. The eggs are put up in cartons
guaranteed to full size, strictly fresh
