Planting the Crop - By the time
this reaches the reader one of the
most important things to plant will
be Irish potatoes. This should not
be omitted in even the smallest gar
den. Select such variety as appeals
to your taste and that has proven sue
cessful in your locality. Generally
throughout the United States the Tri-
umph, Early Rose and Cobbler have
proven a success. 1t has always been
known that the Rural and Pearl does
well in the northeast and west, but
my own tests of the last two years
have convinced me that these are de-
cidedly the best yielding patotoes for
the South, also, and | would recon-
mend that few hills be planted of
them as local trial.
Purchase only sound, well matured
tubers, no smaller than hens egg.
Cut off the blossom end which con-
tains a bunch or nest of eyes. Plant
these eyes in a row to themselves.
The remainder of the potato should
be cut into uniform pieces, each of
which should contain at least one
strong eye. If your ground is fairly
rich plant about IL to IA inches apart
in the row and plant about four to
five inches deep, covering over lightly

them about it.
Il had been a great sufferer from
indigestion and had been under the
doctors care for six months without
relief. At the time I began taking
Tanlac | was on a very rigid diet and
at times could not retain food of any
kind. Even cold water would cause
extreme nausea. I suffered from loss
OF appetite, severe cramping pains af-
ter eating and extreme nervousness.
Finally my condition got so bad

until | got relief | was unable to go
down town to do my shopping and,
although / had been under treatment
for six months, there seemed to be
no relief for me. Honestly, I don't
believe I would be alive now if I
hadn't gotten Tanlac, for I was suf-
fering terribly and getting worse all
the time.
FINALLY my sister persuaded me to
try Tanlac. improved from the very
first and one bottle did me more good
than the six months treatment. Why.
l actually gained four pounds in
weight while taking this one bottle.

WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME
Peter HeuIeln, Who Made the First
Watch, Accused of Witchcraft and
Thrown Into Prison.

There is in existence today a letter
dated April %, 1927, from Martin Lu-
ther TO Father Frederick Plstorius,
the last abbot Of st. Aeglduls in Nu-
remberg, In which he thanks the alb
hot for the gift Of watch, and adds:
Il feel compelled to become pupil
OF our mathematicians in order to un-
derstand this unique timekeeper."
Never before had he seen such an OBJ
ject
As he was familiar with clocks,
what he meant, evidently, was that
the time indicators on the clock were
different from those on the watch
which had been given to him. 1t is
quite probable he had In hts posses
sion the first watch made by Peter
Heulein, or at least one of his first
ones. This Peter Heulein was a black
smith aud locksmith and devoted his
time to mathematics and watchmak-
Ing, for which he was thrown into
prison charged with wtchcraft which
was then one of the easy ways Of dis
posing OF a rival or of person who
did things out of the ordinary
But Peter persevered, and the name
of Heuleln and Nuremburg is preserved
by monument In his native town.
