Chamberlain's Tablets

When you are troubled with indi-
gestion or constipation, take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Indigestion
is usually accompanied by constipa-
ton and is aggravated by it. Cham
berlain's Tablets cause gentle move
ment of the bowels, relieving the con-
stipated condition. Obtainable every
where. (adv.)

GET READY TO PRUNE

Fruit growers should prepare for
the dormant pruning by securing and
putting into frst-class condition the
pruning saws and shears. Some extra
saw blades will likely be needed.
Pruning can also be started during
suitable weather, according to the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture, but it should not be done
while the wood is frozen.

Quick Cure for Croup

Watch for the first symptom,
hoarseness, and give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy at once. 1t is prompt
and effectual. Obtainable everywhere.

Protect the Horses.

The weather has been any
thing but mild the past month
or two. We all notice it even
the animals do but they can
not help themselves when tied
to a post. For instance during
church services in Askov teams
are tied outside when there are
an abundance Of empty stalls in
the church barn. True each Of
those stalls are owned by some
one but undoubtedly the owners
would be glad to let anyone else
use them when not using them
themselves. Again, some who
have stalls drive TO church in
automobiles and consequently
their stalls remain unused. We
know several who have agree
ments with others that they can
use their stalls when they are
not there themselves, but be-
lieve that more such agreements
could be made in order to save
the horses from unnecessary ex-
pOsure. Horses are occasionally
left on the streets for several
hours on week days when there
is absolutely no cause for it. At
that time there is all kinds of
barn room.

4 Different View.

Is. d. Dye, a former Pine
County citizen and located near
Bruno. but now living at Hector
in this state. takes. exception to
the article on Farm Bureau work
in last weeks American and
writes as follows:)
Dear Mr.. Petersen:
After reading the article Mr..
Mosbak wrote on the Farm Bu-
reau and your note. as one of the
men who was instrumental in
getting Mr.. Corwin to his FIRST
meeting in Bruno, | want to
disagree with your judgment in
regard to the personal contact
and individual help as compared
to his weekly news letter. As a
farmer and one who has changed
location quite often. it is my
opinion that the men who read
Mr.. Corwin's articles are also
men that take and read farm
journals. and these men need
very little advice from Mr.. Cor
win. 1t is the man who is out on
the farm that is solving, the prob
lens of Pine County who needs
the personal touch and individu-
al help. The farmers as class
are slow to take hold and work
out as outlined in press articles,
but let them come in contact
with some man that can explain
and demonstrate some method
and give reasons. A live wire
like Mr.. Corwin can inject some
of his enthusiasm into the indi-
vidual he meets and If he does
not. there is not much help for
him (the farmer). Mr.. Corwin.
] know. has done a lot of good in
and around Bruno and the terri
tory north of there. and il has
been done through his coming in
contact with the individual men,
bers, and his influence has done
a great deal more than if he
would have spent his time writ
ing articles for the county press.
Wishing all my old friends of
Pine County a Merry Christmas
and prosperous New Year. | re-
main. Yours truly.

Exodus Of Foreigners.
