In the western part of the state where there Is less rainfall and probably more favorable conditions for harvesting the beans, the acreagoe devoted to beans could well be materially In creased. "Potatoes are another crop very well adapted to all sections of the state, and they allow a little more latitude in time of planting. They can be planted at most any time from now until the early part of June. On much of the soil In eastern Nebraska, potatoes give good returns under normal conditions.

That there will be a shortage of wheat In Nebraska Is evident by all reports. Prof. W. W. Burr, head of the agronomy department of the Un iversity of Nebraska, estimates that almost 70 per cent of Nebraska's winter wheat is dead, but that with favorable weather conditions a 50 per cent crop Is possible. "In some localities, reports show that 90 per cent of the winter wheat Is dead and ture indicate that 60.9 per cent of the wheat in 54 counties Is dead. In some localities wheat has suffered severely during the past week. I think, however, that we have a chance for more than a 30 per cent WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS OF HOT WATER 1 Grandmother's Recipe keep her Locks Dark, Glossy. Beautiful.

A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day. a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphato in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gaBes and toxins from I the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire allnieutary canal before putting more food into the stomach. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make auyonw an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men and women who arc accustomed to j wake up with a dull, aching head or ! have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, sallow complexion, others who have bilious at tacks, acid stomach or constipation are assured of pro nounced improvement in both health : and appearance shortly.

Wli- is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despon dent, worried; some days head achy, dull and unstrung; some days really incapacitated by ill ness. If we all would practice the drinking of phosphated hot water before breakfast, what a gratify ing change would take place. In stead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddv complexions we should see crowd's of happy, healthy, rosy cheeked people everywhere. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste it accumulates under our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons in the bowels which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will bum bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumula tion of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it, as a harm less means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri fying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, sick head aches, rheumatism, lumbago, nervous days and sleepless nights have lecorae real cranks about the morning-inside bath. A! quarter pound of limestone phos phate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone its cleans ing sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.

Tore is an Alliance story that has stood the tost of time. It is a story with a point which will come Straight home to many of us. Mrs. Cella Weaver. 122 Yellow stone Ave., Alliance, says: I w;s troubled by kidney complaint for sometime and learning of Doan's Kidney Pills us a good kidney medi cine, I began taking them, procuring them a t Holsten's drug store. I can say In all earnestness that they can not be excelled for curing backache and kidney ailments. It took only short use to rid me of severe pains In the small of my back, enabling me to Btoop and straighten my back without a painful effort." The bore statement was given July 20. 1910, and on June 7, 1916, Mrs. Weaver said: "I seldom have need of Doan's Kidney Pills now. I am never troubled the way I was be fore using them. I take a few now and then and they always drive off any threatened return symptoms and keep me in good health."

El Paso, Texas BAYS ALL SHOULD PLANT HOME GARDBM Lincoln, Nebr. -Planting a home garden is one patriotic act almost ev ery citizen in the state can perform for his country, if he does uot enlist for military service, says Prof. O. W. Hood, of the department of horticul ture of the University of Nebraska. "Back yards and vacant lots can be made to yield a surprisingly large amount of food," says Professor Hood. "If a plan embodying suc cession, companion, and rotation planting is used, an astonishing yield can be secured. " "In succession cropping, crops are so planned that two or more crops can be grown on the same ground the same season. In companion cropping, plants can be grown suc cessfully as close as six Inches apart, lly rotation, plants are chosen to suc ceed each other In such order that the same elements will not be drain ed from the soil continuously, and hence greater yields will result."
