Take, for example, the case of club- root of the crucifers; I. e., cabbage, cauliflower, mustard, etc. The setting of a few clubrooted plants may give the start that in a single season will make for years an otherwise good garden unsuitable for cabbage and other crucifers.

TRICK DESERTER WHO HID IN WILDS FOUR YEARS Stalling of Automobile Is Faked in Neversink Hills, New York, and Man Is Captured. AN OPEN LETTER TO WOMEN Mr». Little Tells How She Suffered and How Finally Cured • John Tllltson, who was arrested In Sullivan county, New York, by state troopers on the churge o f desertion from Camp Gordon In December, 1917, had lived and hidden himself four years In the mountains. Although It had been known for a long time that Tillison had been mak ing his rendezvous In the mountains, attempts to arrest him were unsuc cessful. On one occasion the officers were so close to hint that when they entered his shack by one door he es- caped by another, the bunk where he had been lying being still warm. Troopers Blount and Drum arrested the man. In civilian clothes and with two Neversink men familiur with the little frequented country, they fol lowed the road to the domicile of Henry C. Smith, brother-in-law ofTIIll- sou. Just before they reached the Smith house, the police say, they stalled the engine of their car. After several minutes of unsuccessful effort to start the motor Tillison's brother- in-law, a buy of eighteen, came out to assist them. They asked the youth If there was some one about the place who could repair an automobile. The boy said his brother-in-law could, but mentioned no names. Young Smith was sent to the house to ask the brother-in-law to help the motor ists. The fugitive was wary of strangers and sent back w'ord that he was busy. TIds assured the troopers that they had found their man. Blunt and Drum tlieu went to the house. Drum remained outside und Blunt and the two guides entered. Blunt Informed Smith of Ills mission, out Smith at first denied the presence of Tillison, although later he admitted the man might be about. Blunt tried n door and found It locked, hut Smith opened It and Blunt saw two men, one of whom ran. Blunt overtook the latter, who was Identified ns Tillison. I1ie fugitive was taken to Montleello and lodged In Jail. Later the troop ers turned him over to Captain Hlbbs, adjutant at West Point. The troo|iers who searched the room In which Tillison was discovered, say they found a 37-55 Springfield rifle containing eight shells. Philadelphia, Pa. —“ I was not able to do my housework and had to lie down most o f the time and felt bad in my left Cde. My monthly periods were irreg ular, sometimes five or seven months apart and when they dud appear wouldlast for two weeks and were very painful. I was sick for about a year and a half and doctored but without any improvement. A neighbor recommended Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to me, and the second day after I started tak ing it I began to feel better and I kept on taking it for seven months. Now I keep house and perform all my house hold duties. You c4n use these facts as you please and I w*U recommend Vege table Compound to everyone who suffers as I did. ” — Mrs. J. B. L it t l k , 3466 Livingston St., Philadelphia, Pa. How much harder the daily tasks o f a woman become when she suffers from such distressing symptomsand weakness as did Mrs. Little. No woman should allow herself to get into such a condition- because such troubles may be speedily overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound, which for more than forty years has been restoring American women to health. To Encourage Salvage.

Clubroot is not manifested In the top in early stages of development, but may always be seen on the roots i f it is present at the time the plants are taken from the seed bed.

Although ways of obtaining custom ers are numerous, no method Is so promising as that of working up • trade with or through friends. This method of establishing business rela tionship Is especially recommended for the general farmer who has a limited amount of produce.
