my wife has been troubled for

has tried almost everything on the

they have done more harm than good.
"She overheard one lady telling an

for her. She got a bottle and has
continued it's use since. She weighed
g7 pounds at that time, and after TAX

III all the people suffering from
constipation knew what Milks Emul-

Hundreds have endured torture for
wears and then found that Milks
Enrulsion gives blessed relief and real,
lasting benefit. 1t costs nothing to
try.
Miiks Emulsion Is a pleasant, nutri-
tive food and corrective medicine.
1t restores healthy, natural bowel

FARMERS TOPLANT
USUAL SIZE CROPS
No Curtajlment Of Agricultural
Production Threatened, Says
Secretary Wallace.

No concerted movement among the
farmers of the country to curtail
planting for sthe coming season is
seen In reports to the Department Of
Agriculture, Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace announced today. Scarcity
OF labor and the desire of some farm
ers to plant overworked land In grass
will decrease the size OF the natioEs
crops, however, the Secretary added.
"The situation Is one where every
farmer will be his own guide In the
matter of planting this year." said
the Secretary. 1.-The farmer does not
have the facilities of organization
which would make a concerted move-
ment possible. The small farmer will
plant all that he and his family can
handle.
1T does not pay 70 have farm lay
idle. More harm can be done by per-
mitting a farm to grow in weeds than
in any other way. The small farmer
cannot afford to hire labor this year.
and will put in grass all the land he
and his family cannot care for.
with the big farmer the situation
is different. For several years pas
ture land has beon planted In corn
and other crops because of the ex-
traordinary yield from the fertile
&oil The well-to-oo farmer will per-
INIT this land to grow in pasture again
that 1t might regain its former fer
tile state.
''For five years farm land has been
used intensively. The present over
supply will permit the man who can
afford 1t to give his land chance to
regain its former fertility. This may
cause q reduction in the size or the
crop. but 1t will have no Ill effects on
In
There will be a decided falling off
in the planting of wheat. but other
crops will be planted in it's stead. The
land will not remain idle"
The new Secretary of Agriculture
did not look pessimistically to the
future for either the farmer 'or the
copsumer.

The United States has a one-afth

oil fields and the Island Of Yap, and

the United States is no longer able to
isolate itself and take no interest ir

The United States" he said, "wil!
not permit the other great powers to
seize conquered territory and exploit
1t for themselves to the defeat of the
business of this country. Within
twenty-five years the country having

THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding; Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.

The President and two ex-PreSidentS
of the United States have joined, for
the first time in the history of the
country, in an appeal for philan-
thropic enterprise. President Harding,
ex-President Wilson and EXPIRE sident
Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
the famine victims of China.
One of Pres dent Hardings first Off
cial acts after his Inauguration, taken
when he had been in the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in be-
half of Americas sister republic in the.
East President Hard ng said in part
at this, the earliest practicable mo-.
ment in my administration, | desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore III
behalf Of the starving people of large
sect on of China
"The picture of China's distress is
so tragic that / an moved. therefore
70 renew the appeal heretofore mad.
and to express the hope that the Amer
lean people will continue to contribute
to this humanitarian cause as gener-
oUsly as they possibly can"
In appO nfing the American commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with his
own immediate predecessor in the
White House, ex-PreSident Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas w
Lamont of New York as chairman.
President Wilson said in his procla
nation:
Not only in the name Of humanity
but in that of the friendliness which
we feel for a great people in Distress
| venture to ask that our citizens SHALL
even though the task Of giving is not
today light one, respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
help"
