COUNTY AGENT FOR WAYNE TO BE APPOINTED . i Fifty-one Counties in Indiana Adopt Government's Food Production Plan. LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Jan. 3. Prof. G. I. Christie, state food . director, today stated that fifty-one of the ninetytwo counties of Indiana have complied with the government's plan for increased food production during the war. Thirteen more counties have completed the preliminary work prescribed by the state law governing the appointment of county agents, and are ready for recommendation of agents by Purdue university, while five other counties have this work under way. Twenty-three counties have failed to indicate their intentions. The thirteen counties awaiting the appointment of agents are Kosciusko, 'Marshall, Fulton, White. Benton, Clinton, Boone, Grant, Wayne, Putnam, Dubois, Spencer and Tipton. Counties which have taken steps to comply with the request of the United States -ere Lagrange, Noble, Miami, Daviess and Carroll. The other twenty-three counties have made no effort to meet the government's wishes In the naming of an agricultural adviser. Every County Needs Agent. Prof. Christie said that the federr.1 authorities have asked Indiana to place an agent in every county before the spring of 1918. The state last year increased its corn acreage 20 percent, when asked to do so by the government and later increased the wheat acreage 25 percent. Then came a request to increase by 20 per

cent, the number of brood sows on Indiana farms. Reports received Indicate that this goal will be passed. It :i8 a question now whether this state shall fail to do Its full duty as pointed out by federal authorities in preparing the maximum food production. ' Secretary of Agriculture Houston -says that all county councils of defense and rural organizations can do a positive service in assisting the gov- ' eminent In its work and that the government has provided $1,030 for every county employing a county agent.

Fruitola and Traxo Used With Most Gratifying Results. "Fruitola and Traxo have made me feel better than I have for more than thirty years; , I can now eat anything without having Indigestion or heartburn, and am free from those terrible dizzy spells and pains in the back and sides. One bottle made a new man of me." This is the statement of Mr. Daniel J. Pellier, 3 Mason St. Gloucester, Mass. Thousands have used Fruitola and Traxo with equally satisfactory results and testify to the effectiveness of this treatment Anyone who suffers with stomach or liver trouble or intestinal disorders, should at least try It.

Fruitola and Traxo are compounded in the Pinus laboratories at Monticello, Ills., and can be purchased in drug stores; a doctor's prescription is not necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil that acts as an intestinal lubri-, cant, disintegrating the hardened particles that cause so much suffering and discharging the accumulated waste, to the sufferer's intense relief. One dose is usually sufficient to Indicate Its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that is most effective to restore and rebuild the weakened, run-down system. A booklet of special interest to those who suffer with stomach trouble can be obtained by writing to the Pinus Laboratories, Monticello, Illinois.
