The first thing you know he will

Relief from Gas
Stomach Pains
Dizziness

The doctors tell rs that 80 per
cent of all sickness is due to ston-
ach and bowel troubles. You can't
be well If your digestion is bad;
you are likely to get sick unless You
relish food and digest it properly.
TanIac has a wonderful record
as q relief from digestive troubles,
even those Of years standing.
Mr.. A. F. Cassell, 1901 Waverly

says: "Since / took Tanlae there's
no end to what I can eat-and no
sign Of indigestion, gas, headaches
or any other trouble. Now my work

If you suffer from gas, pains in
the stomach or bowels, dizziness,

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. I have learned many things

following question pertaining to
marriage Of dear friend of mine,
which is to take place in the near
future. Her home and parents are
in Canada and she lives with her
cousin and .husband-Mr. and Mrs.
John Allen. Would it be correct
for her to have her marriage an.

and Mrs. John Allen announce the
marriage of ---''? Is that word
ing correct in this case?
2. She is going to be married in
an Episcopal church with only q
few dear friends TO witness the
ceremony. Does she have an at.

Unless for some reason she does
not wish to have her parents an.
nounce the marriage, she should
have their names appear on the
announcement. And this would be
true even though 1t is impossible
for them to come to the wedding.

for her to have one unless she
wishes.

Equipment Needed for
Creosoting Fence Posts

The only equipment needed for the
open tank method of creosoting fence
posts is a tank which can be heated.
A good outfit is galvanized iron
tank three feet in diameter and four
feet high. The creosote may be heat
ed over an open fire with the tank on
temporary foundation. The posts
should be thoroughly seasoned before
treatment. The lower half of the post
should remain in hot creosote (19c de-
grees F.) for period Of two to four
hours. The posts should then be al
lowed to remain in the creosote as it
coOls. The tops of the posts such as
cottonwood and willow should be
dipped in the creosote for a few min
utes. A penetration of one-half inch
in the portion Of the post coming in
contact with the ground will give good
protection.

The Young dewberry, named for B.

ed it more than twenty years ago, is
now becoming an important sort in
both the eastern and western parts
of southern United States, according
to George M. barrow of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
whose trials with this dewberry a
few years ago showed it to be promis-

The largest centers of production at
present, he says, are in southern Ala
bama and southern California, though
there are, extensive paintings near
Wilmington, N. c., and Houston, Tex
as. Evidence at hand indicates that
it is hardy from Norfolk, Va, south
and west to include eastern North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and
the states west of Texas, including
Arkansas and parts of Tennessee and
Oklahoma. In California, Oregon and
Washington it is apparently adapted
to somewhat greater range of con-
ditions than is the loganberry.

The Young dewberry is favored be-
cause of its resistance to anthracnose
and leaf-spot diseases, the vigor and
prodHctiveness of the plants, and the
high dessert quality of its fruit. :. Re-

well adapted to freezing for sale in
the winter season, and its usefulness
after freezing for preserves, pies, and

Increase Continues in
Production of Oats

Oats production continues to increase
in the United States despite the fact
that the number of horses and mules
on the country's farms is declining.
That the demand for oats has been
adversely affected by the substitution
of mechanical power for animal labor
on farms is indicated by the postwar
trend in oats prices. Oats since the
war have brought prices about on a
level with those prevailing before the
war; In comparison with the price
position of other feed grains and most
other agricultural commodities, this is
an extremely unfavorable situation.
Farm commodity prices generally have
averaged about 40 per cent higher
since the war than before.

advice TO THE LOVELORN :
Planting Seeds Indoors

Get some soft pliable wire and
twist around the glass, allowing
this wire to run into curved
tendrils. AS the vines grow, have
the child place them gently aroun1
the wires sticking out. They will
cling there and grow until the
tumbler and wires are hidden, and
a charming effect is produced.
The bottoms of parsnips and
carrots may. be cut off, placed in
a saucer and kept moist. Their
rapid and luxuriant growth will
interest your tiny one.
A sweet potato stuck into an
old vase and not quite covered
with water will soon shoot up
lovely vine at the top and roots
at the bottom. The vine will
shortly cover the vase, and this
makes a pretty ornament for a
fireplace or high chest of drawers
