After Ten Years
EatOnic Proves the Best

II say, God bless eatonic," writes
Mrs. Della M. Doyen. II can truth
fully say, after suffering with stomach
trouble for ten long years, that have
never had anything do me so much
good as this one box Of eatonic."
We print these grateful words from
this dear lady, so that sufferers every
where may have hope and a little
faith--just enough to give eatonic a
trial. Why, folks, last year over half
million people used eatonic and
found relief.
This is the secret: Eatonic sirl-
ply takes up the excess acids, poisons
and gases, and carries them right out
of the body. Of course, when the
cause is removed, the sufferer gets
well. Stomach trouble causes about
seventy non-organic diseases, So,5 II
you are suffering any kind Of misery,
not feeling well, go right to your drug
gist today and obtain big box OF
eatonic; cost is trifle. Use it and
find quick, sure relief.
Make this test-you will see, and
then, If you are not satisfied, your
druggist will hand your money back
He does not want one penny unless
eatonic pleases you. Adv.

Need of Farm Labor Urgently
Required for Harvest.

Rains of the past week which hive
been general throughout all portions
of Western Canada, covering MANI

BERTA, have placed beyond all man
ner of doubt the certainty Of vast
grain crops throughout the entire dis

Reports from all points indicate
marvellous and rapid growth. The
conditions of a week or so back, which
were decidedly less promising and led
nanny to think that there might be a
partial failure, have disappeared al
together and now there is wave Of
optimism circulating throughout the
entire country.
In 1915 there were enormous yields
reported from all parts, ind it would
appear now as if in many places the
yields Of 1916 would be equaled if
not beaten.
What might appear to be draw
back, is the apparent shortage Of farm
help. The Province of Manitobc
through it's Employment Bureau in
Winnipeg, is asking for 10000 harvest
hands and over, offering from SIS to.

A Valley Force Kettle.


According to the Carthage Press,
Charles Sanders, resident OF
Carthage, has an iron kettle that has
an interesting history. 1t was used to
bake bread for Gen. George Wash
ington and his army during the severe
winter at Valley Forge. The kettle
was given Mr.. Sanders by his mother.
It is the heavy iron type that was
used for baking before the appearance
of ovens and cook stoves. Mrs. William
Satterfield used it when she was liv-
ing at Valley Forge in 1776. 1t was
later given her daughter, who used
it until her death, at one hundred
and ten years of age, when it was

RAISE FEED FOR LIVE STOCK
Second in Importance only to That
of Producing Food Necessary
for Use by Family.

The production of enough feed for
its family live stock, work stock, and
commercial lives stock is second in
Importance only to producing food for
the family, in the opinion of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
Farm management studies in the
southern states indicate that the most
profitable farms not only produce the
necessary farm feeds but have q sur
plus of them to sell, and that the live
stock is usually of better quality and
better grade on the farms producing
surplus than on farms where staple
feeds are bought. ! These facts are
brought out in a series of 16 tests
formulated by the department of agri-
culture TO show whether or not a
farm is being efficiently managed.
The average farm family, made up
of five adult persons or their equiva-
lent, requires for it's proper mainte-
nance 2 cows, 40 fowls for furnish
ing eggs and poultry meat, and l
pig for each adult person or his equiv

raised to replace each COW reaching
the age of 8 years. This family live
