STRONG SPEAKERS ON HENRY FARM PROGRAM

NEWCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 24. A program ol exceptional merit has been arranged for the annual Henry county Farmers' institute, to be held in the court room here Feb. 25 and 26. The headliners are E. E. Luzzadder of Redkey, Ind., Mrs. C. N. Lindley of Salem and Mrs. Curry of Terre Haute. Mr. Luzzadder Is a practical farmer and a self-made one. Mrs. Liudley has had practical experience ln farm work and is accustomed to the institute work. She and Mr. Luzzadder will appear on the opening day Wednesday. The Thursday program is equally strong. Mrs. Curry speaks twice, morning and afternoon. At the morning session Superintendent H. B. Rob-

"feed" the market without a glut, in

case of large supplies. There is no tendency ln either direction now, nor are any such plans outlined, though there is here and there some discussion along these lines among minor , groups of farmers In their organizations. Wheat and Flour Surplus There are two outstanding facts to be considered in an impartial survey of the outlook for future grain prices. The first is that we shall have a large tarry-over of wheat into the new crop year; also that the grain corporation Is well stocked with flour, bought mostly for European needs, as estimated, and, for which there is insufficient demand to absorb what has already been milled, largely because of European monetary conditions and the inability of several countries to buy flour according to their needs. So true is this that at a meeting of the American relief administration in New York it was decided to appeal to the U. S. Government to "permit the sale on credit of the 10,000,000 barrels of flour now held by the grain corporation to feed the millions of starving men, women and children in the cities of Poland and throughout Austria, Hungary, Bohemia and Armenia." This appeal was Issued on Feb. 22. These 10,000,000 barrels of flour represent nearly 50,000,000 of wheat, which if sold as above or absorbed by Europe in the regular course of trade, would reduce the surplus ln sight at the time of the coming harvest. Our Estimated Surplus. The second Important factor ln future wheat prices is the condition of the winter wheat and the acreage to be planted to spring grain, and which is expected to be largely increased because of fly damage to early planted wheat last falL No one may predict the size of the coming crop and prices will largely sepend on this also as to whether Europe shall have an abundant harvest, and Russia once more arranges for export of grain. This is within the possibilities, if not direct to America, then through importers in other countries and thence to our ports, in a limited way. But the carry-over promises to be large, aside from all other considerations. This may not cheapen wheat; Indeed it may rule higher than present guaranteed price, regardless, because of a light crop in 1920. It all depends As to the amount of the promised surplus, or rather leftover grain and flour, of which there is always a supply at beginning of harvest, of course, the Chicago Tribune's market editor says: "The supplies of wheat and flour In the United States are unusually large, and indications are for a carry over of 150 to 200 millions of bushels of wheat on July 1. Consumers, distributors and millers are loaded with Iour, and millers have big supplies of wheat, and we are steadily drawing near to a new crop." Sixty Million Barrels. A New York wire Informs us that cur government has 60,000,000 barrels of flour "which it can not sell abroad for cash" and it 'is ln relation to the ntock now available at the seaboard that the American relief administration has made its appeal. It is a fact, too, that wheat has had a set back not from government prices, but from the high premiums paid for fancies, and all better grades, by millers of high patents and advertised brands. It is also a fact that our ocean freights are down to 40c and 50c per 100 lbs., the lowest since war days, but that has stimulated wheat exports but little recently. Wheat prices and premiums have doubtless kept up the price of corn to a degree, and surely so of all feedFtuffs. Corn, which sold at Nebraska farm sale3 not long since at $1.40 to $1.50 is now going at about $1.20 at Fuch sales, Omaha reports, although farmers not holding sales are slill holding corn, as a rule, and little is going to market. This, too seems to be true as to other corn belt states. We arp making no predictions.

the Photographers' association of the middle Atlantic states here, declared

that if girls wish to look beautiful in a photograph they must not powder their faces. He said powder flattens the

expression and obiliterates the lines

necessary to bring out beauty and

character when posing for a photo graph.

"They might look a whole lot better without a shiny nose to the human

eye, but not to the eye of the camera,' he added.

RESULTS FAIL TO SHOW FOR WHOLE YEAR Lady Finally Finds Remarkable Relief Thru Trutona in Short Time. MUNCIE, Ind., Feb. 24' "I have tried other medicines without results, but in spite of this, Trutone is giving me the relief that I have wanted all the time." This statement was made a few days ago by Mrs. George Wagner, wife of an employee of the Kelly furniture Co., of Muncie. She is well known here and lives at 407 West Eighth street. "For the past year I have suffered with my stomach," she says. Shortly after meals I would experience a gnawing pain there and very often gas would form. Then I would feel bloated. ,1 had a pressing around my heart and would be very short of breath at times. I suffered from a severe pain ln my right side. Nervousness prevented me from sleeping well, and I usually felt as tired when I got up as when I went to bed the night before."

"I've taken one bottle of Trutona

and now I am confident that It is the best medicine for ailments such as mine. I'm not bothered with the gas formation or the bloated feeling as I was before, and I'm not nearly as

short of breath. The pain in my

right side has been relieved while 1 sleep well and don't feel tired in the morning as I used to. I'm going to

continue using Trutona for I am sure

that it will entirely relieve me of my troubles in a short time."

Trutona is now being introduced and

orirers a new way to treat croiuip and cold troubles

THE OLD WAY Treatment by internal dosing, which does not reach direct to the affected parts and which frequently does derange the digestion.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF VICKS Vapor Important For diseases of the respiratory organs, such as colds, a large part of the value of Vicks lies in its vaporizing qualities. Therefore, whenever Vicks is applied over the throat and chest, care should be taken to leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel, so that the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. Hot Wet Cloths In cases of very severe colds, sore throat, coughs, incipient pneumonia, etc., hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat and chest to open the pores of the skin before applying Vicks. Freth Air Plenty of fresh air in the bed room is the best way to prevent colds and lung troubles. Fresh air does not cause colds ; it strengthens the lungs, enabling the system to throw off colds. Asthma Vicks is not a "cure" for asthma so far as we know, there is no cure. In many cases, however, Vicks does give relief. Rub it well over the Apinal column, from the neck to the Kps to relieve the nervous tension. Then apply freely over throat and chest at bed timt and cover with hot flannels. Renew frequently and always have the covers loose, so that the vapors may be frrely inhaled. Also melt Vicks in a spoon and inhale the vapors and apply a little up the nostrils. Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Colds in the Chest If a severe case, first apply hot, wet towels over the throat and chest. Then rub Vicks in well until the skin is red, spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot, flannel cloths. Catarrh, Colds in the Head Melt a little Vicks in a spoon and inhale the vapors. Also apply well up the nostrils. There are so many varieties of catarrh that a competent physician should always be consulted. For many forms, however, Vicks is excellent. Dissolve a half teaspoonful of salt in a pint of warm water and snuff up he nostrils night and morning. Then insert Vicks freely up the nostrils as far as possible, snuffing well barJc into the air passages. Children's Colds Vicks la particularly valuable in treating children's colds, since it ia an external treatment, and therefore, does not disturb the delicate digestions of children. The best plan is to keep Vicks constantly on hand and apply freely and often at the first sign of "sniffles." . Growing children require plenty of fresh air and exercise and should be

COLDS are simply inflammation or congestion of the mucous membrane or lining of the respiratory organs air passages and lungs. They should be treated just as surface inflammations, such as Burns or Bruises are treated that is, the medication should be applied directly to the inflamed parts. Internal medication going to the stomach does not reach directly the affected parts. But medication cannot be applied directly to the air passages and lungs except in the form of vapors that can be inhaled; and, until the discovery of Vick's VapoRub, there was no efficient, economical method of supplying these vapors.

Vicks Acts Both Externally and Internally VICK'S VAPORUB is the discovery of a North Carolina druggist, L. Richardson, who found a way to combine the standard, time - tested remedies Menthol, Camphor, Turpentine, Eucalyptus, Thyme, Juniper, etc. in salve form, so that when Vicks is applied to the body, these ingredients are vaporized by the body heat. INTERNALLY, these vapors, inhaled with each breath all night long, carry the medication direct to the air passages and lungs EXTERNALLY, Vicks is. absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the affected parts and aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the inflammation or congestion. How the Use of Vicks Has Grown Starting with the customers of Mr. Richardson's retail drug store, the use of Vicks has increased county by county, state by state, until now more than 17 million jars are used annually practically one jar for every family in the United States and this in spite of the fact that Vicks is still a new treatment to many people in the North and West. Once used, Vicks is a friend for life it is so easily applied so quick in its results.

THE NEW WAY Treatment by Vick's VapoRub, which is applied externally relieving by inhalation as a vapor and by absorption and

stimulation through the skin.

kept in the open as much as possible; even in the winter. Coughs Apply Vicks am directed for Colds in the Chest and Head, and if the cough is very annoying, swallow, every few hours, a small piece the size of a pea. Croup - Spaunodic Rub Vicks freely over chest and throat until the difficult breathing is relieved. One application is usually enough. To pi event croup during the night, give a good application over the throat and chest at bed time and cover with hot, flannel cloths. Influenza In fspite of the epidemic last winter, very little is known of this disease even the germ causing it is not yet definitely located and no rpecifie for influenza so far as known has been discovered. In all cases a physician should be called promptly. Vicks is to be used as an external application in connection with the physician's treatment. Apply as directed for Pneumonia. To Avoid Infloenza Influenza is a spit-borne disease, and when inhaled the germs attack the mucous rotabcrnf, or lining of the air passegrs. Even this is not absolutely c srtain, but it is an-ud by most authorities that ke-pLcg the system in good condition and the air passages stimulated and free from colds is the best way to avoid the d'niraae. Melting a little Vicks in a specs night and morning and inhaling the vapors, and applying well up the nostrils several times a day, pcrtu-nlaily bta in crowds, is recommended, Pnmmoaia (1) Send for ycer physician at the fust sign of rmrvmanaia.
