FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
DR.. True'S Elixir
The True Family Laxative

Mothers with their home worries
are often irregular at their meals
have no appetite-are often restless
at nieht-are tired and are troubled
with distressed stomachs - need a
prompt, pure herb laxative, and such
is DIR. Irue's Elixir, the True Family
Laxative The Working man is apt
to neglect his health; may eat too
hurriedly and at irregular hours.
Often this puts the bowels out of or
der-they fail to function property
causing fretfulness, taking away the
appetite, slowing down the active
mind. To relieve these conditions,
have a bottle of rrue's Elixir handy.

NATIONAL BANK DEPOSITS
INCREASE.

Another bit of substantial evidence
of better times under the Republic
an administration is furnished In the
report of Comptroller of Currency
Crissinger, which compares the con-
dition of the national banks of the
country as of June 80, 1921, and
June 80, 1922. This report shows
during that year the total deposits
m the national banks increased ST.
It's, 1885, 900. The total resources of
the banks had increased during that
period in the sum of $188, 000, 900.
The capital stock of the banks during
the same period had increased $751;
S29, 900. This improvement In the
rational bank conditions since June,
1921, clearly shows that business is
getting back to normal conditions.
The people are putting money into
banks instead of taking it out and the
ability of the financial institutions of
the country to handle all legitimate
needs of their communities is beyond
6question-a condition which un-
doubtedly did not exist is months
ago.

PURE WATER THROUGH
OF WELLS

'The safety of a well depends on
the purity of the water at its source,
and on the protection of the well it.
self from surface pollution" says M.
K. Snyder, municipal and sanitary en-
gineer, in the new bulletin on well
and Spring Protection"
Pollution matters enters a well in
a variety of ways: percOlation from
barnyards, cesspools, privies and slop
holes; percolation from nearby pools
at watering troughs; direct contamin-
alton from matter dropping from the
w the open cover Of the well; di-
rect contamination from the entrance
of surface wish through holes in the
casing at or near the surface of the
ground; entrance Of frogs, snakes, or
rodents through these same holes,
All these and more must be guarded
against.
wells should be protected from
contamination both above ground and
below. They should be tightly cased
beneath the surface with iron or brick
stone or tile, set in Portlnd cement
mortar to a depth of not less than ten
feet. Should a water bed giving suf.
ficient flow be encountered at great.
err depth than this, the well should bt
tightly cased down to this bed.
IF the well is of the dug type, thu
opening between the brick, stone o.
tile casing and the sides of the ex
cavation should be carefully FILLED
with puddled earth as the casing Il
being put in, SO as to shut off al
chance of surface water entering tn
well. The driven well, in the process
of sinking, is tightly cased for it's en-
tire depth. The drilled well shoul,
be cased tightly for some feet int
the rock, the casing being made to fl
the rock bore as tightly as possible.
'The open type of well is especial,
liable to contamination from the tor
because Of it's large opening, and be
cause Of carelessness in covering thi
opening"
The bulletin, which is No. 9 of tn
series, may be secured free by re
quest at the college.

RESULTS OF VENEREAL DIS
EASE CONTROL.

From individual experiences of
physicians, one is led to believe that
venereal disease is decreasing. Au-
thentic statistics have been wanting,
however. Figures for industrial pol
icy holders of the metropolitan Life
Insurance Company for the last four
years show a decline in mortality
rates for venereal diseases. Since
1917 the rate for syphilis, locomotor
ataXia and general paralysis of the
insane has declined 81 per cent, the
rate for 1921 being 1871 per 100000,
as compared with 1876 in 1917. 1t is
interesting TO note that while there
was a considerable increase each year
from 1911 TO 1917, there has been a
sharp drop. since then. This change
is wen more significant in view of the
fact that reporting is more accurate
on death certificates. The decline is
most decided in the case of syphilis
rather than for lccomotor ataxia.
The difference between the rates for
1917 and 1921 is chiefly accounted
for by lowering the rates in the age
period 25 to SIS years. This improve
ment may be due to improved meth
DDS of treating syphilis as well as to
various measures Of control.

TRIA PEACE IS
desire OF FARMERS.

eff other groups would do as the
farmer has done, our economic trou-
bles would soon be over. Prices
would soon be adjusted to their nor
NAL relationships. There would be
work for everybody and at just
wages =
''The farmer is disguised with these
recurring disputes between capital
and labor, especially as connected
with the essential industries. He e
no reason why such disputes canrfot

ly and lawful way and without the in
terruptions of service which cost him
so dearly.
"The farmer recognizes his obliga-

the owners of the coal mines and the
coal miners recognize their equal OBJ

mands that the management of ten

sure to become more and more pro
nounced as the time for passage of
the ship subsidy bill draws nearer.
Americans have never yet shrunk
from keen commercial rivalry and
when the competition is to be carried
on with foreign interests the zest for
the struggle is the stronger. In the
middle west there has never been a
great demand for an American mer-
chant marine until now, but the
knowledge that the government is
preparing to keep our ships on the
ocean in the face of whatever oppo-
sition may be encountered from
abroad is awakening an interest in
the matter. The farmers are begin
ming to see that their welfare, like
that of the manufacturer of the east,
is bound up in the merchant marine
problem. 1t is as necessary for them
to have dependable and permanent
transportation for their foreign ship
ments as it is for the exporter Cd
manufactured goods. The demand
registered at Washington for the
passage of the ship subsidy bill is
becoming more urgent daily and i:
being received from every section OF
the country.

FARM LOAN BANKS
INCREASE SERVICE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The
Democratic party has launched a cam
paign of criticism of the farm loan
banks.It is being alleged by Demo-
cratic newspapers and Democratic
speakers that since the Republican
administration came into power the
farm loan banks have not boon of
much assistance to the farmer.
The mystery pf such a cmpaign is
not the motive-which undoubtedly
is part of the generl plan of misrep-
resentation in an effort to discredit
the Republican administration. The
mystery is how the Democrats expect
to "put it over.' The record of the
federal loan banks kept from month
to month completely refutes the
charge that since the Republicans
came into power the farmers have
not been able to get any service from
the farm loan banks.
The farm loan banks began to func-
ton in 1917. The first joint stock
land bank charter was taken out in
April, 1917, in Sioux City, Iowa, to
operate in the states of Iowa and
South Dakota. Between that time
and February 20, 1921, which marked
the close of the Wilson ~administra-
ton, a period lacking less than two
months of being four years, the fed
eral land banks made a total of 49,
581 loans, involving the aggregate
amount of 1869 ,891, 800. Between
February %, 1921, and June 80, 1922,
during all of which time the Repub-
lican party was in power, the federal
land banks made $500 loans, involv-
ing the aggregate sum of $205, 099,-
1879.
In other words, in n year under
Republican administration the federal
land banks made As per cent as meny
loans as they did during the entire
four years under Democratic admin.
istration, and they loaned 55 per cent
as much money in one year of Repub.
lican administration as they did II
four a of the Wilson administra
ton.
The joint stock land banks between
. April, 1917, and February, 1921, made
1885 loans, aggregating $S1 ,O34,521
) During the period between Februar.
/ %, 1921, and June 30, 1922, the join
stock land banks made 5,793 loans
) aggregating $58, ,244,O93. This show

5 der the Wilson administration, an
S loaned 70 per cent as much money i
= one year under Republican admin

i years under the Democratic admins

These two forms of loans are tn
n only loans made under the feeders
n land bank system and they complete
ly prove the falsity of the Democrat
ic propaganda that is now goin
around to the effect that under tn
Republican administration the fart
loan banks have not been of any q;

GOOD METHOD USED
in TANNING HIDES

Tanning with the hair on a pelt
is something of an art.
AS a rule the first step in skinning
is TO make a long cut on the under
side from chin TO tip of tail, and from
each foot along the inner side of the
leg, except beaver pelts which are
sent to the market flat, and are slit
across beneath the tail from heel to
heel and the skin reversed as the
body is withdrawn. The tail and the
base of the ears should be skinned
out.
Fresh skins should be Invested of
loose fat and muscle and then either
tanned at once or cured Sc as to be
kept without deterioration until a con
venient time for tanning. They are
cured by stretching free of wrinkles,
flesh side exposed, and left in a cool,
shady, airy place. In moist atmos-
pheres. or where haste is imperative,
the flesh side may be covered with a
layer of salt and the skin folded, hair
side out, into a compact bundle, which
should be opened and refolded two or
three times during the first two days
to insure salt action on every part.
Flat skins may be stretched by pin
ming them on the floor or frame, but
in any case there should always be a
circulation of air on both sides.
Pelts of fur animals are dried, flesh
side out, after being drawn over pieces
of board shaped so as to stretch them
uniformly. Mole skins, as an excep-
ton, are pinned out flat to dry, like
beaver hides. Wolf, fox, lynx, and
wildcat pelts are taken from the
boards and turned fur side out before
they are fully dried. Other kinds of
pelts go to market flesh side out.
Skins may be tanned with or with
out the hair on, as desired. Hair can
be removed from hides by soaking
them in tepid water, made alkaline by
I've or lime, until the hair out
readily. Before these are put through
the tanning process they should be
washed to free them of the alkaline
solution.
The following recipe for d tanning
liquor is in common use: To each gal
Ion of water add one quart of salt
and half an ounce of sulphuric acid.
Do not keep this mixture in a metal
c~Ontainer. Thin skins are tanned by
this in a day; heavy skins must re.
main in it longer. They may remain
in it indefinitely without injury. Wher
removed they are washed severa.
times in sOapy water, wrung as dry
as possible, and rubbed on the flesl
side with a cake of hard soap. They
are then folded in the middle, length
wise, over q line, hair side out, anC
left to dry.
When both surfaces are barely DIR,
and the interior is still moist, the,

What Is Left of Our Vast Elk Herds

THE estimated number OF elk re-

The elk of the Yellowstone park
region constitute the only really large
herds of the big game remaining in
the United States, and although these
number about $1,000, they are a mere
remnant of the great herds which
formerly ranged from Maine to Cali
