Russians Use Coal for
Heat Without Ignition

Russian farmers have discovered
way TO speed up the ripening OF
their cotton crops by month or
more. They use coal to warm the
cotton plants without burning the
coal. This seeming paradox is being
performed at Kazakstan. Obtaining
heat from coal without burning is
the application Of a simple. fact of
physics that dark eolers absorb the
heat in the suns rays better than
light colors.
The Zazakstan farmers simply
spread coal dust lightly over their
fields; about 100 pounds to an acre.
The darkened surface of the land Is
a better absorber of heat during the
day and reradiates more of II as
warmth during the night,I The high
er average temperature of the land
during the growing season, therefore,
shortens the time necessary for the
crop to mature by over a month.

We say this because, before the

bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery OF
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands OF people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year

proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer

THREE STEPS
I 70 RELIEVING

Why do people come home from
hospital with bowels working like a
well-regulated watch2
The answer is simple, and it's the
answer to all your bowel worries If
you will only realize it. many doctors
and hospitals use liquid laxatives.
II you knew what doctor knows,
you would use only the liquid form.
A liquid can always be taken in
gradually reduced doses. Reduced
dosage is the secret Of any real relief
from constipation.
Ask doctor about this. Ask your
druggist how very popular liquid
laxatives have become. They give the
right kind Of help, and right amount
of help. The liquid laxative generally
used is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup pepsin.
1t contains SIENNA and cascara - both
natural laxatives that can form no
habit, even in children. So, try Syrup
Pepsin. You just take regulated
doses till Mature restores regularity.
