LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called froezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without inifaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi
tively rid one’s feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn’t any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

Backache
In spite of the borf rare one takes
of oneself, anv part of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress ane easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
“The very best way to restore the
kidnevs to their normal state of health,"
says Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., “is to
dnnk plenty of pure water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist.” Anuric is inex

SWEET POTATO A
F
I /■
Right Kind of a Storage House Essen
tial and Should Be Built Early to
Have Ready When Needed.
By J. S. Knox, Horticulturist with the
Extension Division, University
of Arkansas.
Build Storage Houses Early.
Possibly there is no other vegeta
ble so generally grown in Arkansas as
is the sweet potato, and rightly so, be
cause it is one of the most valuable
vegetables which we can grow for
food. It is a fact that diseases cause
some loss every year, but nine-tenths
of the potatoes which go to waste
do so because of improper stor
age conditions. The right kind of
a storage house is essential and should
be built early in order to have it ready
by the time the potatoes are dug.
Successful Storage Depends Upon
Several Factors.
Successful storage may be said to
depend upon several factors—(1) ma
turity of potatoes at digging, (2)
proper drying out of the potatoes
shortly after they are dug, and (3)
freedom from disease and serious
bruises when placed in storage. If po
tatoes are dug when they are Imma
ture It requires a longer time to dry
them than when they are fully mature.
At the time of harvest all potatoes
showing evidence of disease should be
piled to themselves and fed to hogs or
other farm animals. One diseased po
tato placed in a storage bin may be
j the cause of a half dozen others rot
ting. In digging, use every possible
care to prevent the bruising or skin
ning of the potatoes, since every
wound thus made opens a way for dis
ease to enter the potato.
The Pit or Bank Method of Storing
the Crop.
For the small home grower this
method Is Very satisfactory. To build
the bank or pit, select some well
drained location, and, several weeks
before the potatoes are to be
dug, build a shed. The soil under
the shed should be a number of inch
es, say, a foot, higher than the soil
on the outside. This lessens the
chances of moisture rising up to the
potatoes. Make the soil where the
potatoes are to be piled into a plate or
sauoer shape, then pile over this a
layer of dry straw or leaves four to
six inches deep. Now construct two
boxes of 1x6 material and bore two
inch holes in them on all sides at in
tersals of 18 inches to two feet. These
should be placed, one horizontally
across the bed and the other joined to
it. but placed in a vertical position.
There must, of course, be a passage
way for air from one box to the other.
Pile Potatoes Carefully.
As soon as the potatoes are dug and
have dried a while they should be
carried to the storage pit aud carefully
plh'd In a cone shape about the box
ing. It is thought best not to put
over 40 to 50 bushels in the same pit.
When the potatoes are placed in the
hank, simply cover over with a light
covering of straw or leaves and allow'
them to remain In this way for ten
days or two weeks in order to thor
oughly dry out. It Is during this dry
ing or sweating process that so many
of our potatoes rot. As the weather
turns colder a layer of boards or corn
stalks should be placed over the straw
and a thin covering of dirt placed over
rhis. By the time the weather be
comes freezing cold the ends of the
ventilator boxes should be closed and
(he dirt piled on until it Is four to six
Inches deep.
Wood Storehouses,
The man who grows potatoes on a
large 9eale for commercial purposes
should build a regular storage
house. The wooden or frame
structures are by far the most com
mon in this state. They are built with
double walls.having a six or eight-inch
space between the walls. This space
may be filled with dry sawdust, or if
made practically air tight, may be left
w 1th the space unfilled, if the floor
of the building is made of concrete,
io much the better. Bins In the
houses are of different sizes, but pos
sibly about as good a size as any
would be about six feet long, four feet
wide, and two and one-half to three
feet deep. Bins are placed one above
mother, with possibly a six-inch space
between them. When built in small
sizes this way the air can circulate
more readily among the potatoes, and
damage done by bruising is not so
great as when the bins are made eight
lo ten feet square. A six inch space
should be left between the bins and
ihe floor. When the potatoes are
placed in the bouse the temperature
should be raised to 80 to 85 degrees
and held thus for a week or ten days
for the purpose of drying out the sur
plus moisture. If potatoes begin to
iprout the temperature should be low
ered to 65 to 70 degrees. The heating
is usually done by means of a wood
stove, or, in the Fort Smith district,
by gas stoves. After the drying is
complete the temperature of the house
should be kept as hear 50 to 55 de
grees as possible.
Provide ventilation by means of side
windows and by flues through the top
of the building; close during very cold
weather.

WHAT IS #
LAX-FOS
LAX-rOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA
A Digestive Laxative
CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC
Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medi
cine but is composed of the following
old-fashioned roots and herbs:
CASCARA BARK
BLUE FLAG ROOT
RHUBARB ROOT
BLACK ROOT
MAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN
In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by
the addition of these digestive ingredi
ents making it better than ordinary Cas
cara, and thus the combination acts not
only as a stimulating laxative and Cathar
tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.
Syrup laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos
combines strength with palatable, aro
matic taste and does not gripe or disturb
the stomach. • One bottle will prove
Lax-Fos is invaluable for Constipation,
Indigestion or Torpid Liver. Price 5Qe.
At this time it will pay every farm
er to increase the number of fowls
in his flock not only for the purpose
of producing plenty of eggs for a
ready market, which will undoubted
ly be the case, because of the high
price of various kinds of meat, but
for the production of meat because
chicken flesh can be produced on less
grain per pound than any other
class of livestock found on the farm
and since chicken meat is palatable
to most people and the
comparative prices between chickens
and other kind of meats will increase
the demand for them and a real profit
can be realized. Raising more chick
ens without a great deal of labor
and scarcely any expense and a sure
profit is a real advantage for most
Arkansas farmers.
