LETTERS BY
THE MILLION

The Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance at Washington received and
answered four million letters dur
ing the first six months of last
year, and the stream of mail is
u~nceasing. A great deal of trou-
BILE is occasioned by failure of cor
respondents to write legibly, to
give their names and addresses, to
furnish all information required
for speedy and accurate attention
to their cases. Every conceivable
form of handwriting reaches the
Bureau, and many times handwrit
ing experts are unable to identify
signitures. The body of the letter
may be perfectly legible, but the
signatures are often susceptible
of many guesses.
The Bureau has received thou
sands upon thousands of letters
with imperfect names and address
ses, thousands of unsigned letters
thousands of letters containing
insufficient Information on which
to base a settlement or. adjust

WHY lisa
HEADACHE?
VARIOUS CAUSES FOR THIS
COMMON AFFLICTION
Anemia or BlOOdlessness a Very
Common Cause
P~EPTO-MANGAN OVERCOMES
ANEMIA AND TENDS TO
PREVENT HEADACHES

When one has an occasional
headache it is due usually to
some transient or passing cause,
such as Indigestion, eye-strain,
overtiredness, etc. When, how
ever, one suffers from frequent
periodic headaches there is al
ways some special reason for it.
Among the most common of such
reasons is Anemia or Bloodless-
ness. This condition is especially
frequent among girls and young
women and those whose Occupa-
tions or habits of life keep them
too much indoors. The one impor-
tant necessity in such cases is to
build up the quantity and quality
of the weak and watery blood.
Guides Pepto-M angan is excep-
tionally valuable for this pur-
pose. 1t increases the number and
improves the quality of the red
blod cells, those vital little bodies
which carry nutrition to all parts
of the body. 1t improves the appe-
tite, imparts color to the face, and
restores health and strength to
the body generally. After a short
course of Pepto-Mangan the head
aches decrease in frequency and
severity, and finally disappear.
If they are due to Anemia. Pep
to- angan ma ybe had either in
liquid or tablet form, as preferred
When buying Pepto-Mangan be
sure the name Guides" is on the
package. Without Guides" it is

Fertilizer for Tobacco

While cremical analysis defines
the composition of plants, it does
not define proper feeding either
in the proportion of forms best
suited to the crop.
In a crop like tobacco, where
commercial value is largely in
fluenced by artificial conditions
of development, the plant food
ought to be abundant, solvent and
furnished in form and proportion.
A great many use an 1888; while
others an SD, and some still
higher, 8-4-6, but of either analysis
use a fertilizer that is put up es-
pecailly for tobacco, as it re-
quires a sulphate of potash in
stead of muriate.

Cultivating

1t is important to commence cul-
tiation soon after planting, to
loosen the soil and start the plant
growing. Just as this point many
planters fail to do their duty,
which no subsequent work can
atone for, early, rapid, and thoro
day. Observe to draw the plants

afternoon the hill made the same
cultivation is necessary to produce
first class tobacco. If the prepar-
alton has been troro, thrice plow-
ing following each time with a
hand hoe, will suffice for the crop
Any process which stirs the
soil effectually and often, keeps
the plants free from grass and
weeds, will constitute good cult
