^ Lots of folks who think they have
indigestion have only an acid condition

digestion to normal.
Phillips does away with all that sour

vents the distress so apt to occur two
hours after eating. What a pleasant
preparation to take! And how good it la

hazard of trespassing
SHOWN TO BE VERY DEAL'LY
Atlanta, Ga., April 11. _ Death
took the same toll of trespassers in
1928 as in 1927 on the property of
the Southern Railway System, 140
persons having lost their lives in
each year v?hile engaging in this haz
ardous practice. Injuries to trespas
sers increased from 133 in 1927 to
162 in 1928.
These figures are from the annual
report of the Southern’s Safety Bu
reau which shows that 104 were kill
ed and 75 injured while trespassing
on tracks and killed and 87 in
jured while trespassing on trains
during 1928.
“The coincidence as to the number
of deaths in 1927 and 1928 is not as
remarksfble as might appear,” says
the repo|-t, “since deaths and injuries
to trespassers on the Southern’s
trades and trains have been almost
constant in number for a liumber of
years.
“A distressing feature of this un
necessary loss of life and limb is
that the majority of the victims are
useful citizens or children, using the
railway tracks as a walkway on their
way to and from their places of work
or schools, or boys hopping trains
and playing around freight caf-s. The
appalling results from year to year
should cause parents to caution their
children to stay off railway tracks
and away from trains except when
riding as passengers.”

Right 'rreatment
for Fence Posts
Will Resist Decay for Pe
riods of Twenty Years
If Attended to.
“When properly treated, even the
most perishable woods can be made
to resist decay for periods of twenty
years or more,” Prof. C. H. Guise
stated at Cornell’s farm and home
week at Ithaca. “There are but few
kinds of wood which cannot be treat
ed with considerable profit, provided
the correct procedure is followed.
“It is unfortunate,” Professor Guise
continued, “that some have the idea
that treatment merely consists of
painting the wood with some preserv
ative like coal tar creosote. At the
outset it cannot, be stated too strong
ly that unless thorough treatment is
to be given, very little value will re
sult. The details of correct treatment
for farm timbers are few, and easily
understood but they must be given
careful attention.”
Last Twenty Years.
“From actual experiments started
twelve years ago at the New York
state college of agriculture, of posts
treated by thtf hot and cold bath
method, 95 per cent are still in serv
ice and thoroughly sound. On the
basis of their present condition, these
posts should easily last twenty years
if not longer. The species treated were
beech, red oak, elm, hemlock, bass
wood, white ash, and other common
woodlot species, nil of which are wood
classed as nondurable, with the pos
sible exception of the hemlock.”
Professor Guise gave the results of
varying kinds of treatment. Of those
fenceposts untreated 22 per cent re-
maita after 12 years of service; of
those merely brushed 30 per cent re
main; of those only dipped 41 per
cent are left; while those which were
given the hot and cold bath 95 per
cent are still in good condition. Pro
fessor Guise added that If it were
not for hemlock, which has been giv
ing excellent service with the un
treated, brushed, and dipped posts,
the percentage of those remaining
would be much lower.
Expense Justified.
In the \ matter of cost, Professor
Guise stated that the expense of a
thorough creosote treatment is clear
ly justified when nondurable species
are being used. As to the use of un-
trated chestnut in comparison with
treated nondurable species, there is
little choice. He said that it prob
ably does not pay to treat black lo
cust and red cedar, the most durable
of the native woods. For these a
life of twenty-five to forty years is
not uncommon.
Professor Guise gave a comparison
of costs of treated and untreated
posts. For the untreated post of non
durable species the total cost in place
is $.22, Its e.stimated life is five years.
Its annual cost $.044. For the non
durable species treated, the total cost I
in place is $.38. If it lasts 15 years 1
the yearly cost is $.025; if it lives !
20 years the annual cost is $.019. j
Fertile Loamy Soil Is
Best for Spinach Crop
Spinach cannot be grow’n on poor
land. A fertile loamy soil is best with
a good application of fertilizer ap
plied before the crop is planted. The
rows should be 15 to 18 inches apart,
or another method of planting is to
sow 10-inch drills or beds that are
4 to 7 feet wide. The latter is the
method employed by the commercial
growers in the Norfolk (Va.) section.
The land should be plow'ed several
w'eeks before sowing, as fresh plowed
ground would be too dry. A gool
place is where an early crop of vege
tables were grow'n. Harrow the
ground just before sowing to kill all
the grass and weeds. Apply about 1,-
200 pounds fertilizer per acre. A good
mixture is one containing 7 per cent
nitrogen, 7 per cent phosphoric acid
and 5 per cent potash, with a top
dressing of 200 to 300 pounds nitrate
of soda per acre after the plants
come up. Where blight is prevalent
Virginia Savoy, a blight-resistant va
riety should be sown.

Increased Production on
Early Summer Pastures
As most cows Increase production
on early summer pasture, it should be
the aim to introduce feeding practices
which will compare favorably with
early pastures. Let us analyze con
ditions and find out why this is pos- j
sible. Aside from the grass, the cow |
has comfortable surroundings and j
plenty of fresh air, sunlight, and ex-;
ercise while on pasture. The barns,:
therefore, should be built with plenty;
of window space,, good ventilation, 1
and comfortable stanchions. In ad-!
dition, pasture provides food which is
succulent, palatable, bulky, nutritious,
sufficiently laxative, and of good va
riety.

Two-Row Potato Planter
Latest Farm Invention
Another new machine for speeding
up potato production and saving ex
pensive hand labor is a two-row potato
planter, which has recently been made
available to potato growers. These ma
chines can be used as automatic or
semiautomatic planters, depending up
on the accuracy of spacing desired by
the operator. They are also fitted
with an attachment for distributing
fertilizer in the hlUs, but not teach
ing the seed Itself and can b« used
as “tuber unit?’ planters for certified

UNTIL you have driven the new
Nash "400” with the Twin Igni
tion motor, you can have no ac^quate
idea of how much pleasure it has
added to motoring.
Here are some plain, unyarnished
facts and figures which may serve to
convince you that you owe yourself a
ride in a Twin'Ignition* Motored
Nash.
With Twin Ignition instead of single
ignition (two spark plugs per cylinder
firing simultaneously, instead of one)
higher compression is practical, and a
much more efficient combustion of
the gases is accomplished.
The result is that the identical Nash
■ motor, by actual test, produces 22%
more power than with single ignition,
5 miles per .hour more speed, and
gives you 2 extra miles of travel from
every single gallon.of gasoline you buy^
In fairness to yourself, don’t think of
buying any motor car today, until you
