Gaining an Hour Americans will gain an hour a day on March 31 when the bill recently enacted by Congress goes into el feet. The value of adding an hour to the day will be appreciated by every one, for it means an addition to the productive ability of the nation. The Chicago Tribune sums up the innovation in these words : Congress has made the nation the gift of a twenty-fifth hour, a new hour instituted into the clock at the best time of day, one composed of minutes stolen without injury from less important hours and gathered into a new, valuable unit

of time usable to the profit and pleasure of the people. By act of Congress the clocks will be set forward an hour at 2 o'clock Sunday, March 31. By noon April 1, we predict, the adjustment to the new scheme will have been completed. A beneficial phenomenon will be observed, but the processes by which it was brought about will have been absorbed by habit and will not be appreciable. The citizen will find himself, without particularly noting how, in possession of an extra hour of daylight at the time of day when, if he could have perfectly organized his routine and habit, he would be best pleased to have it. It is a twenty-fifth hour, in effect, given at the best moment of leisure. What this change will produce in material economy will be less appreciable, probably, than what it produces beneficially in the daily habit and routine of the people.

Elliott's Position , Representative Elliott has informed the Sixth district that he will not return to the district to assure his re-nomination on the Republican ticket. He says matters of vital importance are engrossing the attention of Congress and that he believes he ought to devote his whole time to his duties. He has taken the correct stand on the question. He was elected to represent the people, and during perilous days his constituents want him at his post. The Republicans of the district will look after his interests. They will both nominate and elect him.

" Dollars or Bushels By Roger W. Babson. Secretary Houston, of the Department of Agriculture, has called my attention to how we all are fooling ourselves today. . The newspapers are boasting that the corn crop is the greatest in history, when in bushels it is less than in 1915. The South think they are rolling in wealth, when in bales its cotton crop is less than in 1915. Paper prices are no good. It's more bushels and bales that we need in order to reduce the cost of living. . Some people pretend that our national debt is small by comparing it to the crops. "What is $20,000,000,000," they say, i'why, that is less than the value of one single crop of the farms of America !" This is true ; but we eat up most of these crops in a year, while the debt remains with us $200 for every man, woman, and child in the United States. As the farmers are fooling themselves by thinking of prices and dollars instead of bushels and bales, so industry is fooling itself by looking to profits and wages instead of production and saving. The ending of this war and our future prosperity after the war depends upon producing more and wasting less. Only in this way can Kaiser Bill be put out of business and will the workers of America come to their own.

"The time takes care of itself. The morning passenger whistles at 7:35 and, looking across the ground we have already turned, we suggest to ourselves! 'Say, this i3 going to be some day to work!' The furrows turn so easily that we drowse off into blissful half-unconsciousness. Our mind wanders. Now we build a wonderful house, or make a vast estate out of the farm. A rich friend dies and leaves us immensely wealthy, and we try to spend the money; but we can't spend the interest on it, he left us so much. We buy a lot of things we always wanted, we give to friends who ought to have more. Perhaps before another round is finished we have retused

Or AGRIC ow CUCUMBERS - The soil for cucumbers should be .1 rich sandy loam, rather moist but not wet. The seeds may be planted in berry baskets or on sods in the hotbed and these transferred to the open ground, or the seed may be placed directly in the ground. Considerable time will be saved by starting the plants in the hotbed. In either case they should not be placed in the open until the ground has warmed up. which will be about four weeks after the last killing frost in the spring. They may be planted in hills 4 feet apart each way or drilled in rows 7 feet apart and thinned to from 12 to 18 inches apart in the rows. It is a good plant to use an abundance of well-rotted manure in the hills or in the rows. Cucumbers should receive frequent shallow cultivation until the vines begin to run freely; after this very little cultivation is required. They are ready for use as soon as large enough, and no fruit should be allowed to ripen on the vines. It is advisable to spray cucumbers with Bordeaux mixture, as they are quite lible to be injured by diseases. For a full discussion of insects and diseases affecting cumber and remedie for them, see Farmers' Bulletin 856, entitled "Control of Diseases and Insect Enemies of the Home Vegetable Garden." U. S. Department of Agriculture. CAULIFLOWER The cauliflower requires a rich, moist soil, and thrives best under irrigation. It will not withstand as much frost as cabbage, but is very sensitive to hot weather. To make a success of the cror it is best to plant it about the time of the last killing frost in spring, using plants grown in the hotbed or window box. This gives it time to mature before hot weather comes. The rows need nbt be more than 2lA to 3 feet apart for horse cultivation, or 24 to 30 inches apart for hand work. The plants should be from 14 to IS inches ayari in rows. 1 ne cuuure is me same as for cabbage until the heads begin to develop, after which the leaves may be tietd together over the heads to exclude the light and keep the heads white. The crop is one of the aristorcats of the garden. If you succeed in growing high-grade cauliflower you will qualify as a good gardener. U. S. Department of Agriculture.

EXEMPTIONS. If you had $9 flat on a 100 to 1 shot and he ran second, you don't have to pay any income tax. If your wife's sister and nine children spent the winter with you and it cost you $25 a week to keep them, you don't have to pay any income tax on that $25 a week. If you invested $800 in mining stock and the company went booley, you don't have to pay any income tax on that $800. The worst case we know of is that of the man whose wife eloped just before he made out his income tax schedule and he couldn't claim the $2,000 exemption on her. , Out in Virginia, Neb., they have started a museum.

He should have asked for $50,000,000. Simple Way To End Dandruff There is one way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will . completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging ! of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times . better. Adv.

Nujol Laboratories, Standard Oil Company, (New Jersey), Bayonne, New Jersey. Dear Sirs : I take pleasure in advising you that the relief I have obtained from the use of Nujol is far more than what is ordinarily termed "satisfactory." For years before sending you my order for a trial bottle of Nujol I habitually used destructive "pink pills" due to the fact that through lack of proper exercise I was continually constipated and a sufferer from other ailments known to result only from irregular bowel-action. I have taken three bottles of Nujol, and ever since I finished the first bottle my bowel action has been as regular as the rising sun, and my general physical condition is now as good as can be wished for. In my opinion Nujol is a scientific cure for constipation and its countless other resultant ailments. I earnestly recommend it. Springfield, 111. Yours truly, January 5, 19 17 C. S. Holmberg. Don't dread constipation; but don't neglect it. It's the poisonous root of scores of serious ailments. Do exactly what Mr. Holmberg did: bring back regular bowel-habits with Nujol. Nujol gives you the quick relief you want without the least griping or reaction. Thousands know it is the safest remedy, for the body cannot absorb it Quit using harmful pills and salts. Nujol makes you "regular as clockwork." Start using it today.
