If YOU HAVE PAIN IN YOUR BACK
Do Not be Deceived. You Have Kid
ney Trouble, and You Do Not Need
a Physician to Tell You So.

Let us give you u piece of advice:
sign of kidney disease; surer sign is
the condition of your urine if you have
a pain in the back then look to the con-
,iition of your urine. 1t is easily done.
Take a glass tumbler and fill it with
urine, after it has stood "a hours: if
it has a sediment, if it is milky or
cloudy. if it is pale or discolored. stringy
or ropy. your kidneys and BLADDER
are in a dangerous condition and need
immediate attention, or the conse-
quences may prove fatal.
DR.. David Kennedy's F'avorite Rem
edy is the one medicine that really
cures all disea ses of the kidneys, liver,
bladder ard blood. rheumatism. dys-
pepsia and chronic constipation. and it
will take you but n short trial to con-
vince yourself of its wonderful curative
power.
G.. r. Sammer of No. 400 Tioga
street, Syracuse. n. Y, in a recent let
ter says:
Il was afflicted for years with severe
pains in my back and kidneys. l tried
many doctors and many medicines. but
got no relief; for over two years
scarcely had u good nights rest on ac-
count of backache in a most distressing
form. I bought a bottle of DIR. kenne-
dy's Favorite Remedy and commenced
TO use it, and must say l never imag-
ined I should find such a wonderful
cure. Why. l feel like a young man
again in spite of my 80 years.
All druggists sell DIR. David Ken
nedv's Favorite Remedy in the new 80
cent size and the regular s1.00 size bot
ties.

It is surprising to what extent i'm
mature stock Is used for breeders. even
among poultry fanclors. A cockerel
less than a year old Is mated with
pullets, and this Is kept up for genera
tions. The results can hardly fail to
be disastrous. at least so far as hardi-
ness IS concerned. When hardness
departs or is bred out the door is open
to many evils. Breeders that have care
fully looked into the matter believe
that the resulting fowls lay eggs in
fertile or with a germ weak in fertll-
ity. Moreoyer the tendency Is to de-
yelop a strain OF fowls that will have
little of the force OF matured birds.
The more advanced breeders are using
mature stock. What about the man
that buys eggs OF the men that breed
from immature stock? Are they get
ting a fair return for the money they
expend2 II would be well for egg
buyers TO ind out whether the eggs
they are to purchase this spring are

that the butter Is brought TO tide

Moreover the Russian government

Gently conference was held In st.
Petersburg between the makers OF but
ter and government officials that have
duties more or less touching the ship
ment OF butter. The secretary OF
transportation reported that 92O re-
frlgerator cars for butter had been
provided and cold storage plants at all
stations likely to be used for consid-
cradle shipments OF butter. Arrange.
ments were also entered into for the
shipping OF the butter TO England by
steamers not touching at Danish ports.
The Russians are evidently determined
that no more Siberian or Russian but
ter shall be shipped TO England from
Denmark and labeled Danish butter.

trick is made impossible OF working.

E.eapInr Mold IN cheese.

Prof. II. l.. Russell says; The mold
ing OF cheese is, Of course, a biological
phenomenon due to the development Of
mold spores on the surface Of the
cheese, a condition brought about By
the proper temperature and moisture.
Mold will invariably occur when the
degree Of saturatlon in the atmosphere
reaches the maximum point, and under
these conditions at ordinary tempera-
lures at which cheese is ripened you
have more or less trouble from the
moldlng of the cheese We find that
when cheese Is cured at 40 degrees or
thereabouts. these molds will not de.
velop, They cannot grow TO any con-
siderable extent because the tempera-
ture is too low for them to develop. SO
that those losses are to large extent
obvlated by the use OF these lower cur.
ing temperatures.
