ABOUT TROUBLE
COTTON SUFFERED SEVEN YEARS
GAINS TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS
AFTER TAKING TANlAC

sNo. sir, I wasn't much surprised
when I got on the scales the other day
and found that had gained twenty
two pounds In weight. for l have been
eating like a wolf and picking up
rapidly ever since I finished my first
bottle OF Tanlac little less than two
months ago"
The above statement was made by
George Cotton Of lila East 21st ST..
Kansas City. Mo-. while discussing
the merits OF the medicine recently.
Mr.. Cotton has been foreman for one
OF the large coal companies in Kansas
City for q great many years and is
highly respected by all who know him.
MY wife and both tested Tanlac,"
ne continued, "and Il has helped Us
10 much that we want everybody TO
know about Il. As for my own case, my
kidneys had been botherinS me for
seven years or more and there were
such fearful pains IN the small OF my
hack at times that could not get up
or down without help. My kidneys
disturbed me 50 often at night that l
could get very little sleep and I was IN
such a badly run down condition that
7 was forced to stay away from my
work for days at a time. Ny appetite
was very poor and my stomach 30
upset that I could not eat anything
but what would sour and cause the
worst kind OF pains in the pit Of my
stomach. I lost a great deal IN weight.
'well. nothing ever helped me until
got Tanlac and goodness only
knows how much money have paid
out trying TO get relief I had heard
great deal about Tanlac but never
thought much about Il being what
needed until my wife took Il with
such wonderful results. She had been
suffering for long time from very
much the same kind OF troubles and
after seeing how the medicine was
building her up began taking II my
self She was in such bad condition
that none OF the netghhors thought
she would get well and she had lost
nearly all hope herself. But in just a
few weeks after she began taking
Tanlac she was feeling like a new
woman and had gained ten pounds in
weight. Well, the way Tanlac has
helped ne is Just about as remarkable
as the way Il helped my wife. BY the
time ny first bottle was gone I was
feeling like a different man. I am q
we'll man now and mean 70 say by
that. that I haven't a pain Of any
hind. My kidneys never bother me
any more and my appetite couldn't be
better. I never miss a day from my
work now and there. nothing TOO
good for my wife and myself 20 say
for Tanlac. Anyone wishing to do so
may either write or call on Us and We
will gladly tell them our experience

rBy =. q. Dougherty.1


Washington. Jan. 22.--With an early
agreement by the senate and house
conferees of the water power bill,
passed last week by the senate, Iowa
and other states with important
streams will be privileged to improve
the waterways for the generating of
has heretofore existed. AS quickly as
the measure becomes a law, the Hawk
eye state, wgith the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers providing abundant
opportunities, may take steps to util-
ize tho vast amount of power that l.
now going TO waste.
While there are q number Of points
in controversy between the senate and
the house Of representatives on the
bill. which originally passed the lower
house and then, in modified form, was
approved by the senate, there Is har-
money on the important question of
leasing power to states and NUM-
cipalities.
The bill creates a federal water
power commission composed of the
VI WAL. 4ANG4lNA anu &c
culture. Once the measure becomes a
law. cities and states seeking to utilize
water power must make application to
this commission. II IL the commits
s!on's duty then 10 investigate and on
a proper showing TO issue license for
use Of the power. The commission Is
authorized to make a charge for the
license. but it is specifically provided
that states and munich alities are
given permits free where they propose
10 develop the water power. Where
the government alrady has built dams,
however. the measure provides:
In no case shall a license be, issued
free of charge for the development or
utilization of power created by any
government dam and that the amount
be such as determined by the cons
sion"
Points Of Disaareenents.
There are two main points of dis
agreement between the senate and the
house and both are-over the develop
ment OF water power on private prop
ertv by private capital. These are:
First-The senate proposes that the
only charge the government shall
make Is for administration expense,
such as surveys. supervision of con-
struction and the Ike. while the house
insists that the federal commission
shall fix reasonable annual charges
that shall he paid TO the government.
Second-Both agree that the license
shall be for fifty years. with the right
for the government to recapture the
property at that time. The house con-
tends that an amendment by the
senate virtually grants perpetual
franchise. THIS issue is expected to be
further modified TO meet the HOUSE,
objection.
The senate takes the position that
the government 's entitled TO charge
only administration expenses for licen-
ses 70 private capital to develop power.
The states IN which the power sites
are located would have authority TO
charge rentals and also TO fix the rates
to be charged for the power by the
companies. In case the company does
an interstate business the federal com
mission would have authority over
such rates.

PLACE FOR HENS IN WINTER
Fowls Must Not Be Allowed outside
Range If Maximum Egg Pro-
duction is Expected.

For maximum egg production during
the winter months the hens must not
be allowed outside range but must be
confined to quarters, says II. S. Towns
ley, of the University of Missouri col
lege of agriculture. The poultry keep
ers who get the best egg production
during the winter months shut their
weather gets bad in the fall and keep
them in until spring comes. If the
birds are allowed to run at large dur
ing the winter months they will spend
most of the time standing around be-
hind buildings and other windbreaks
trying to keep warm when they had
much better be in the poultry house
scratching for feed. Turning the
birds out even on pleasant days dur
ing the winter months will cause
slumps in the egg production. This is
probably due to the fact that when the
birds get outside the ground is cold
and wet and this produces enough
shock to affect the production of the
birds. If the hens are to be kept in
side for several months the poultry
house must not be overcrowded. Each
hen should have at least two and a
half or three square feet of floor space.
Some attention is necessary with birds
that are confined, to insure plenty Of
exercise. One method of providing
exercise is by feeding all grain in
straw litter covering the entire floor
to a depth Of not less than twelve
inches. Another good means of keep
ing the birds busy is to hang cabbage,
turnips. beets or other green stuff just
above the birds heads in the house so
that they are kept busy jumping to
get this material.

PROFIT s. FROM
SWEET POTATO
Question of Proper Handling of

Attention.
REsENTS ROUGH TREATMENT
One Of the Big Drawbacks to Undue
try Is inability OF Farmer to Keep
Tubers In Storage-Fie:d
Diseases Are Serious.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Sweet potatoes deserve as careful
handling as apples. In fact. they will
not stand the rough handling that APP
pies are often subjected to in grading
and packing.
This statement may surprise many
sweet potato growers who are not in
the habit of taking pains to avoid
bruising this product. The question
of proper handling of sweet potatoes
Is one of several points touched on In
publication just issued by the bureau
Of plant industry Of the United States
department Of agriculture. Farmers
Bulletin No. 1859, entitled "Sweet Po-
tato Diseases"
One Of the chief barriers to the
extension of sweet potato growing in
this country is the inability of farm
ers to keep sweet potatoes in storage
so that they can be placed on the
market in winter when prices are good.
Consequently most of the crop grown
is consumed locally or sold at digging
time when prices are low. A few
sweet potatoes go to northern mar
kets in winter, and even in the South
they cannot be obtained with any de-
gree of certainty at that season.
Specialists of the department of agri-
culture believe that if storage methods
and principles were better understood,
far more sweet potatoes would be
available for winter use.
Must Fight Diseases.
However, the success of the indus
try does not depend on careful han
ding alone. There are several seri
Gus field diseases, as this bulletin
points out, the best known of which
are black rot, stem rot and foot rot.
The storage of sweet potatoes affect
ed with black rot must necessarily re-
suit in heavy loss, since the disease
spreads rapidly throughout the bins.
Stem rot, on the other hand, does not
produce any marked decay in storage,
but it may open the way for storage
rot organisms to enter the potato.
After sweet potatoes are dry and
the surface moisture has dried off
they should be carefully laid in con-
tainers holding about bushel and
hauled to a storage house. If the po-
tatoes are to be stored in bins they
should be poured carefully from the
containers into the bins. There are
some advantages in storing in crates
rather than in bins. Crates permit

the free circulation of air among the
potatoes, condition which cannot be
so readily obtained if they are piled
in bin. The crate has an added adj
vantage in that by its use as many
potatoes can be taken out for the
market at any one time during the
winter as are desired without disturb
ing the remainder. Sweet potatoes
will not stand frequent handling, and
for that reason it is unwise to disturb
a pile or bin unless they are all mar
keted at the same time.
Dig Late for Storage.
Potatoes intended for>storage should
be dug as late in the fall as is consist
ent with weather conditions. This is
usually just preceding frost or after the
first light frost. Frozen potatoes will
not keep, and it is likely that heavy
frost will injure them to some ex-
tent. 1t is advisable after heavy
frost to cut the vines at once and dig.
To wait too long may mean that in or
der to avoid freezes the potatoes must
be dug during bad weather. After
the potatoes are dug they should be
left exposed long enough to dry off
the surface moisture. On bright
day this would require but an hour or
two. On a very hot day, however, it
would be desirable to hurry the pota-
toes to the shade after their surfaces
have been dried in the sun.
Full details on storing sweet pota-
toes are contained in Farmers Bull

partment of agriculture.
