It is the work of the prisoners in all its department?, and its work is excellent in all of them. Mechanically.it shows some first-class printers have found their way iilto the prison, and its editorial and new? columns indicate some editors, real ones, are also doing penance for missteps.

These things. naturally drive labor away from the farm, and into the cities and once it finds employment there it will not go back to the farm unless almost compelled to do so, or an extra wage persuades. This is really one of the most serious phases of farm life, and it is one for which there seems no remedy. Diversified farming will help some, but at the best there are times when there is nothing to justi fy the farmer in employing labor. He will be a true phil anthropist who finds a practical solution of the problem. Our French visitors have surely been shown every consideration, by their hosts.

The evaporated spud is an ideal product for this purpose, containing plenty of sustenance in small bulk, and it certainly is a food that would be ap preciated and enjoyed by the men m the trenches as well L the civilian population. There is little likelihood of there being too large a crop, but should there be an ex- cess it can be used prontawy oy lunuug u imV'u'Il'a7i there is no danger of there being an over supply ot that. With average conditions the United States this year, should stow the greatest potato crop in its msiory. wiuie some of the agricultural sharps are expressing fears of over production, they are being frightened needlessly. The potatoes will all be used, and will all be needed. If the war should end this year they will be needed all the more for it will be up to us to help relieve the conditions in Germany and among the other Central allies. Germany 'considered it sufficient cause for her to go to war because a crazy Serbian killed an Austrian prince; but believes the United States should not go to war over the deliberate murder of her citizens by German orders.

It means inflammation of a mucous membrane some- bronchial tubes, stomach, bil- rarv uucis or Doweis. it a wnvs means stagnant blood the i Diood that is full of impur ities. Left alone, it extends until it is followed by indigestion, colds, congestion or fever. It weakens the system generally and spreads its operations until systemic catarrh or au acute illness Is the result. Peruna Is the nation's reliable remedy for this condition. It restores appetite, aids digestion, checks and removes inflammation, and thus enables the membranes, through which we breathe and through which our food is ab sorbed, to do their work properly. Forty-four years of success, with thou sands of testimonials, have established it as the home remedy Ever-Ready-to-Take. Its record of success holds a promise for you.
