Quit Laxativss,
Purgss; Try Mr.
Mr. Tonight - Tomorrow Feel Right

It is mistake to continually dose
yourself with so-called laxative pills,
calomel, oil, purges and cathartics
and force bowel action. 1t weakens
the bowels and liver and makes con-
slant dosing necessary.
Why don't you begin right today to
overcome your constipation and get
your system in such shape that daily
purging will be unnecessary? You
can do so If you get a Csc box Of
Natures Remedy (NR Tablets) and
take one each night for q week or so.
Mr. Tablets do much more than
merely cause pleasant easy bowel ac-
ton. This medicine acts upon the
digestive as well as eliminative organs
promotes good digestion, causes the
body to get the nourishment from all
the food you eat, gives you q good,
hearty appetite, strengthens the liver,
overcomes biliousness, regulates kidney
and bowel action and gives the whole
body thorough cleaning out. This
accomplished you will not have to take
medicine every day. An occasional Mr.
tablet will keep your body In condi-
ton and you can always feel your best.
Try Natures Remedy (NR Tabletsl
and prove this. It is the best bowel
medicine that you can use and costs
only Csc per box, containing enough to
last twenty-five days. Natures Rem:

COLORADO POTATO BEETLE

The Colorado Potato Beetle, or the
common potato bug, seems to be much
more numerous this year than ever
before. These pests will not do any
serious damage if the proper methods
for controlling them are taken in time.
If not, they will often destroy a large
field Of potatoes in three or four days.
Several methods are used for control
ling the bugs, one Of which is gener-
ally used on the small plots Of pota-
toes as follows, Mix one part Of
Paris green with 10 or 20 parts Of
cheap flour or air-slacked lime. This
should be applied preferably when the
dew is on with powder guns or dust
spray machines 50 as to cover the
plant and leave as little Of the surface
as possible for food for the bugs. This
method is not practical for large
acreage and the Paris green spray is
is used. This should be applied with
q pressure spray. To aid in making
the solution adhere to the plant the
same amount Of Fish Oil soap will
help.

BIG CORN AND POTATO SHOW
TO BE HELD THIS FALL

The General Committee on Corn and

a mammoth corn and potato show to
be held on Oct. 10, IA, Is, 16, 1920.
The meeting was we'll attended and
very much enthusiasm was shown in
the coming show. It was decided to
make the Community exhibits, of
which there will be about fifteen, the
feature of the show. f
subcommittee were appointed on
finance, advertising, exhibits and ar
rangements. These committees will
begin work at once in preparation for
the big event.
Mr.. Jourgen Olson, chairman of the
General committee, and an extensive
potato grower himself, stated that the
sentiment throughout the county for
growing more corn and potatoes is
greater than ever and predicts big
ger show than ever this fall.

CAR SHORTAGE

The United States Department OF
Agriculture has issued general recon-
mendations to the farmers to be pre-
pared to hold a large portion of their
grain this year because Of the car
shortage and the probable inability
of the railroads to move the crop.
Where threshing has just begun in
Kansas there is already evidence Of a
car shortage and in fact the elevators
are receiving only small per centage
of the cars needed to move the re-
mainder of last years crop and the
grain being threshed now. There does
not seem to be any prospects for i'm
provement of the present inability of
the railroads to supply the demand for
cars so it would appear that it would
be well for farmers to make what
preparation they can to hold portion
Of this years crop.

SAVE SUGAR IN CANNING FRUIT


SAVE SUGAR IN CANNING FRUIT
Along the streams and coulees in
North Dakota we have an abundance
of fruits, wild grapes, plums, buffalo
berries, June berries, choke cherries,
wild gooseberries and currants.
The Home Demonstration agents in
North Dakota have worked out some
sugar-saving suggestions for the
housewives, tested by the experiment
kitchen: Add one-quarter teaspoon of
salt to each cup Of fruit juice for jelly
or pulp for jam, marmalade and con-
serve. In the case of nonacid fruit
this makes the absence Of the full
amount of sugar less noticeable. The
salty taste will disappear after the
product has stood for few weeks, but
the flavor will be much the richer for
the addition of the salt. Salt was so
used in England during the war, and
the method suggested was based on
reports of the process.
With fruits of pronounced flavor, OF
where lemon and orange peel or spices
are used for flavoring those with mild
flavor, various sirups take the place
of part of the graduated sugar. U.s.
ually half and half is the proportion
used in substitution.
