THIS WOMAN FEELS
YOUNG AT SEVENTY

Old age comes early to those whose
blood is thin. When the blood loses
tone there is gradual loss of vigor,
strength and endurance. The nerves
become weakened and functional disor-
ders, such as stomach trouble and par
tial paralysis, may result. The eye
loses its luster, the color leaves the
skin, the shoulders are stopped and
lines of suffering streak the face.
Treatment withra tonic that is non
alcoholic and free from injurious drugs
will help to restore the body to health.
When the blood becomes plentiful and
well-oxidized, the system is fortified
against the invasion of disease germs,
signs of old age are erased frsm the
face and, new vigor and ambition are
felt If your blood is rich, you may
reach ripe old age as gracefully as has
Mrs. Charlotte VI. Mather, of No. ia
Beacon street, Somerville, Mass. Mrs.
Mather is the mother of fifteen chill
dren. She is seventy, looks sixty and
says she feels younger than she looks.
She hasn't always been well, but was
fortunate in learning of the right tonic
in time. She says:
"Some time ago ! had a severe at
tack of pneumonia Instead of gradu-
ally regaining my strength after the
disease left, / seemed TO stand still |
began to think that | should always be
burden on those about me- | had Sc
we're headaches and attacks of extreme
weakness when it was impossible for
me to move. My appetite was poor
and there was a burning sensation in
my stomach after eating. Sometimes
this was followed by sharp, piercing
pain.

years of health before me, and when
the prescribed medicines failed to help
me | bought box of DR. Williams
Pink Pills. | had heard of the remedy
from friends. The first box helped me
so much that | continued taking the
pills until ! had completely recovered
my health. | no longer have headaches,
my appetite is good, and the stabbing
and burning pains have left me- / feel
now that | shall live almost as long as

years old when he died | cannot speak

tonic"

FERTILIZER FOR USE.
Paints 10 Remember in Buying for
Garden.


Garden.
Manure is scarce in and around
cities. Commercial fertilizers must Dc
depended upon primarily for adding
fertility to garden soils. 1t pays to
use the best grade Of commercial fer
tilizcrs. When the home gardener buys
fertilizers he pays for nitrogen. phos-
phoric acid and potash, and if he can
secure the REQUIRED amount of these
elements in a small quantity OF mate
rial, so much the better, as he will
avoid the handling of a greater weight
upon which freight and other costs
have been paid. A fertilizer contain
ing from 4 to 6 per cent. Of nitrogen
) to 10 per cent Of available phoS-
phoric acid and 3 or per cent potash
is generally recommended for use on
home gardens by specialists of the
United States department Of agricul-
turc.
One pound to 80 feet Of row is equiv
a!ent to an application Of 800 pounds
to the acre. One pound to Is feet of
row is equivalent to an application OF
900 pounds to The acre, and an appli-
cation of one pound to eight feet of
row is practically cquivaclnt TO 1000
pounds of fertilizer to the acre.
Commercial fertilizers are high at
present and no more than is absolutely
necessary should be used. Care must
also be taken in their application. as
there is constant danger OF burnmo
the roots OF the plants, especially
where the fertilizers arc applied di-
rcctly in the rows The best results,
are generally secured whore the fer
tllizcrs are applied and rakcd in n
few days before sowing the seeds or
setting the plants. In this way they
become more Or less mixed with the
soil and there will be little danger OF
doing the plants an injury.
IN many sections Of the country nj
tratc Of soda is used as Il stimulant
TO force the growth Of the plants after
they are started. Nitrate of soda is q
concentrated fertilizer furnishing nj
trogcn, that element which makes the
green and vigorous growth in plants.
and should be used sparingly to avo:Ci
injury The usua, custom is to scatter
a little tone pound to 100 feet) nitrate
OF soda along the rows of plants and
mix it with the soil by means of a hoe
or rake. Another method is to dissolve
tablespoonful Of the nitrate OF soda
IN a pailful Of water and use this so
luton for watering the plants, taking
care that only small quantity of the
water is applied around each plant
1t IS vastly better to make frequent
l1ght applications Of the nitrate rather
than to apply too much at one time.

VOICE OPPOSITION
no W.tDOO PLAN

Houston and LeiiingweIl Give Views.
Against Bond Issues. Secretary OF
Treasury and Assistant not Favor
ably inclined Toward Scheme.
Washington, March ll.-OppOsing
former Secretary McAdoo's plan of
reducing taxes by additional bond is
sues, Secretary Houston and Assistant
Secretary l.cflingwell today told the
house ways and means committee
which is considering soldier relief
legislation, that any increase in the
present government Indebtedness
would crcatt grave financial situa-
ton.
Secretary Houston predicted that 4
bond issue Of $4,000, 100000 necessary
under certain plans OF adjusted COM
pensation now before the committee
might result in disaster" while Mr.
l-eingwcll said "thc worst thing pos
sblc would be to give bonds to for
mcr soldiers, as Il great majority Of
them would cash their holdings inn
medatcly."
Both suggested increased taxes as
''the least harmful way TO extend re-
lief, the assistant secretary asserting
that even q tax on normal incomes
would add to the cost Of living and be
directly felt by those least able TO bear
it. Any future bond issue would have
to bear per cent. interest and would
be "a much more serious proposition
than it was during the war"
Governor Harding Of the federal re-
served board told the committee:
First, there would be Il lack OF pa
triotism which helped in selling bonds
during the war he said, "and second
ly, we would come into competition
with all sorts Of commercial invest
mcntS.'
Even under increased taxes. Secrc-
tary Houston said, tho proposed cxpcn-
dture of $4,000 900 900 would be a
serious one for the people TO confront
at this time"
"Thc present financial situation is
not critical" Mr.. Houston commented.
Economy by the people, avoidance OF
waste in expenditures, economical ap-
preparations by congress and prudence
in handling these appropriations will
naturally relieve the situation"
Discussing the bond plan. MIR. Lcf-
iingwcll said bonds gvtn to former
service men, while increasing the ma
tons Indebtedness would also bring
about recurrence of activities Of
sharks" similar to those used against
Liberty bondholdcrs after the armis-
ticc.
