LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 2S. The far famed ' potato . pens," some of which were built in nearly every town or city of Indiana last year, scarcely returned the seed put Into them, Investigations by the horticultural department of Purdue University show. Indiana gardeners are warned against trying the plan. The plan to grow potatoes by the sky-scraper method and raise enough In a box eight feet wide, eight feet long and eight feet high to feed 'the family all winter was shot higher than a kite by Investigations of the results obtained . from scores of these box potato gardens. Experiments by the U. S. Department of Agriculture- bear out the Purdue figures. In a "pen" at Washington, 20 pounds of seed were planted. Eight pounds of potatoes were harvested. The same results were obtained with barrels full of dirt. The crop from two barrels weighed one pound and twelve ounces each. Word from C. C. Osborne, city garden supervisor of Indianapolis, last year, said that or the forty "pens" tried In tb capltol. not one succeeded so tar ta he could learn. Similar results ur reported from other cities in the neat. The alleged originator of the Idea resides in Tacoma, Washington and a letter written to him some time ago, failed to get any ' response. The general plan of. the "potato pen" was to build a box 6 or 8 feet square Mith the board 3 on the sides about 12 Inches wide and about an inch between them, in the bottom of the pen was placed a 12 inch layer of garden soil, the surface of which Is marked off in both directions with lines a foot apart. A potato seed was laid at each Intersection. On top of this was laid a light layer of Etraw and on top of this a six inch layer of manure, then f inches of toil, more potato seed, straw and manure, and so on until the "pen" was filled to the top. With the amount of soil and manure laid as directed, each layer of potato seed would come opposite the cracks between the boards forming the sides of (he "pen." The theory was based on

the fact that in the cellar, sprouts

from potatoes will grow toward the nearest light, those near the top growins out the top and those near the bottom stretcning out between the cracks of the pen.

After suffering for nineteen years with chronic stomach and kidney trouble, Mr. Chas. Froelich, R. F. D. No. 2, Gorham. Kansas, found a simple remedy that quickly relieved him. He says: "I had tried all the doctors for miles around but they did not help me and I had about given up, when my wife read in the Kansas City Post about Fruitola and Traxo and what it had done for a man with stomach trouble. She sent for Fruitola and Traxo, and from the very first I felt better. I took only two bottles and am well now and can eat and work like a young man. Fruitola and Traxo did it, and I'll do all I can to get others to try it."

Fruitola and Traxo are compounded from the original Edsall formulas at the Pinus laboratories in 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 lubricant, and disintegrates the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, discharging the accumulated waste to the sufferer's intense relief. One dose is usually sufficient to indicate its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alternative that is most effective to rebuild and restore 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.

for iltae TLT Army The Pharmacal Corps Bill by Congressman Edmonds, a Pharmacist of Philadelphia and an Addendum by Representative Hicks of New York, is now in the hands of the House Committee on Military Affairs at Washington for hearing in the very near future. The Bill is entitled "An act to increase the efficiency of the Medical Department of the United States Army, to provide a Pharmaceutical Corps in that department and to improve the status and efficiency of the Pharmacists in the Army." The following are but a few of the reasons why such a bill shouid become a law: (1) Everyone in civil life is accorded proper protection in the dispensing and compounding of medicines. In every state, the laws require that this work be done by only qualified pharmacists, who have had proper training and have passed an examination. Pharmacy in the Army IS NOT being practiced by pharmacists. OUR BOYS and YOUR BOYS in the Military Service should not be deprived of such protection. The safeguards which are thrown around the dispensing and compounding of drugs in their own state should NOT be ignored in the Army Camp. The Edmonds-Hicks Bill, if passed, will bring about this much-to-be-desired condition. (2) The Medical Department of the Army will be made more efficient, and health conditions will be better if pharmaceutical duties are assigned only to those properly qualified to take care of them. The organization of a Pharmaceutical Corps, as proposed by the Edmonds-Hicks Bill will accomplish this end (3) The Continental Armies all have a properly organized Pharmaceutical Corps, and as our Army has been reorganized on the French system, the French system of taking care of pharmaceutical and sanitary work should also be adopted by creating a separate corps for this purpose as outlined in the Edmonds-Hicks Bill This space was cheerfulJy and patriotically contributed by Ttbe Cofilkcy EDrCompany Ninth and Main Streets Member National Pharmaceutical Service Association, National Association of Retail Druggists, Indiana Pharmaceutical Association.
