Pipes re Signals of Distress And By Using Stuart’s Calcium Wafers They May Be Removed Quickly, Surely and Harmlessly. Before the blood becomes entirely poverished it tells man of its con- tion. It warns him repeatedly. These \pessages are conveyed by pimples, blotches, liver spot: eczema, tetter, rash, etc. If one disregards these symptoms one runs the risk of perma- nently diseasing the blood beyond hope of cure.

Thousands of distressed persons will g0 back to using castor oil now that it is tasteless, There 1s nothing like Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil to clear out the “inner man.” It is a relief for the pain and bloating of gas. Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is a new and remarkable discovery. The nauseous taste and smell are taken out, but nofhing else. It's all of the oil, but none of the taste, and so well purified that it acts better, without griping, and does not upset the stom- ach. Children take it readily. ‘Women and workers indoors find Kellogg’s Tasteless Castor Oil a quick relief from the distress or poor di- gestion, and it is a. perfect laxative. Kelogg’s is not mixed or flavored, just a true, tasteless castor oil. Ask for Kellogg’s Tasteless Castor Oil at any drvg store. Not sold in bulk, but in 2éc or 50c bottles, trad:- marked with a green castor leaf bear- ing the signature, Kellogg's.

PASSING OF THE HOMESTEAD| (Continued from page five.) ther on a few charred timbers that telll the gruesome story far plained than| pen can write it. { The old lilac bush that the dear| mother set out by the front door when | she fir possession of her new | home cheeked, healthy, vi ous yo gland bride’ generously spread around the ruins| nd drawn the curtain over what oth-| erwise would mark to a lamentable de-| gree one of the saddest scenes along! what were known as our old New Fngland post roads and turnpikes, This is but one phase of the pa the homestead. What about the broad and once fer- | tile acres that surrounded the original| abode, well and walled, with/ barns that sheltered from 25 to 100 head of cattle in winter, and fields and pastures that furnished their sus- tenance in season? Perhaps I can draw a picture of such a dismantled home- stead, one of many in a town within ten miles of where we are gath- ered tonight. Farm contains some 1,400 acres. Forty yvears ago it was purchased from the original ownmers. Besides the land- there was on the property at that time two 16-room old| fashioned colonial houses and all out-! bulldings in keeping with such a homestead. The original owner was a hardy New England type of farmer, keeping 100 head of stock, and, as were 99 per cent. of the farmers of that pe- ing o riod—prosperous. Passing over the intervening forty vears, let us again look at what w. one of the best farms in this parti lar tow One house hos been burned, the other gone to decay through ne; | lect. | Barns, of which there were several, rotted away and unfit for service, mowing lots grown up to brush_ fences down and to make the wreck of what was a model, well kept farm of 50 Years ago more complete, a sawmill came along last year and camped on the place, staylng just long enough to eat the vitals out of what was left of a homestead that from 1800 to 1850 raised a large family and gave emplc | ment to a half dozen farm laborers b | sides; and more than all gave to the | town in which it was located a type of citizenship that is sadly missed today, a good neighbor, a good citizen, a good { father and a true husband—the noblest work of God. Do you wonder then, after the taking of the last census had revealed a star- tling amount of statistics of the nature referred to, of the incre in aban- |doned farms here in New England, | that they, the federal and state gc | ernments w the great need of lm- | mediate action, and so have started in | every state in the union a plan to re- claim these abandoned farms, inc ase up- { ply of farm products, reduce the cost of living and Increase the farm values. Fresh in our minds is the recent birth of the farm bureau extension work in this (New London) county, when 500 men and women met in the town hall to listen to farm bureau specialists ex plain the merits and the workings of the movement and to organize tt county in order that we all may re ceive and benefit by the aid available by such organization. Truly an uplift for any .county er v that has enough public men and women, with suffi cient courage to undertake such a task, with no other thought save the general benefits to be derived by such organization and co-operation eo each and every individual within the coun- ty Personally I wish to express my deep appreciation to Norwich grange for the generous support and able work done by the brothers and sisters in helping to organize the New London County Improvement league. With ch co-operation, such noble self- work on the part of the various socleties and civic organ- is what is going to tell in eastern Connecticut, and that very quickly, and while the pasging of the homestead is a sign of the times and casts a shadow of sadness over those whosa early days were spent within their broad and generous confines_ vet spirited !

Thousands never came back, and the majority of those who did engaged in other pur- suits.
