HOT WEATHER
Hits the Stomach Hardest

Chicago, nl.-Ifot weather UpSctS
the strongest stomach and causes seri-
Gus trouble for the weak ones, so word
is now going out 10 thousands Of
eat0nic users that they should, dur
ing this hot weather, be on the safe
side and take one eatonic tablet
about half an hour before meals, as
well as after eating. Do this and
keep the excess acids and poisonous
gases from forming in stomach and
bowels. Eatonic acts quickly; it will
help the appetite and take away the
hot-weather, feveriSh, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because 1t
takes up the excess acids, poisons and
gases and carries them out Of the
body and, of course, when the cause
Of the trouble is removed, there can
be no bad feeling. Eatonic is like
a bit Of candy, and is recommended tC
all as a safe, sure remedy these hot
days for stomach and bodily troubles
caused from overeating and drinking
cold things. Adv.

FARMING ACCORDING
TO MARKET DEMANDS
Majority of Produce Growers Are
Looking Ahead.
Profitable Practice to Find Out What
Other Sections Are Doing and AS
certain Advantages in Con-
Stunning Centers.

Travelling by faith rather than nv
sight has sometimes been recommend
ed as wise policy, but produce growers
used to find it frequently and nightly
disastrous when they followed il per
force before the establishment of the
crop and market reporting service of
the United States department of agrf-
culture. Of course, a few Of them are
still following the faith system of
growing and marketing because they
have not seen fit to use the ewes fur
niShed them by the government re-
porting service, ana these are still
planting, gathering and marketing at
random. But the majority are looking
around and ahead. seeing what other
sections are doing, finding where any
shortage or surplus is likely TO be pro
duced, ascertaining special advan-
tages or disadvantages i'm consuming
centers, and generally getting a fore
cast of the market from crop and
other conditions the country over.
Thus the more farsighted southern DO
tato growers take into account the
volume and probable movement of the
northern crop and the amount Of the
old crop likely to be left over until
spring. Even the northern growers
may put in late acreage and ton
dress the crop if the general situation
suggests a shortage caused by re-
duced acreage or by a hard spring
frost In parts of the northern terri
tory.

WHAT POOR ROADS INDICATE
Generally Seen in Dull Neighborhood
Where Houses Are Run Down and
Everything Dead.

Where one finds bad roads, he gen
orally finds dull, poor and thinly-set-
tied neighborhoOd. The farmhouses
are generally run down. the vehicles
are shabby and everything shows that
a dead community prevails, while on
the other hand where good roads exist
the farmer generally has some pride
about himself. and tries to bring his
business up to the standard of other
conditions.

MIXTURE FLIES WILL AVOID
In Preparing Repelents Care Should
Be Taken Motto, Make Them
Too Strong.

Many malodorous mixtures, particu-
larly of an oily nature, have some
value as repellents for stable flies, but
in preparing these care should be
taken that they are not made too
strong, especially when animals are
being worked in the hot sun, as they
are likely to cause overheating and
often produce shedding of the hair.
A mixture of fish oil Il gallOn), oil
Of pine tar g ounces), oil Of penny

half pinto, was found to be fairly eff
fective in keeping the flies off of live
stock for a short time when applied
lightly, but thoroughly, to the parts of
the animals not covered with blankets
or nets.
