4 VALUABLE SUGGESTION.
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE.

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
&c thev control the other organs to a
remarkable degree and do tremendous
anoount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood. .;.u..
During the winter months especIally'
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
sbonld receive some assistance when
needed as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more r1ch neay,y
FOOD tSS thereby forcing the kidneys to DO
-,oore r0 work than Nature intended. Eyl

hack, annoying bladder troubles, smart

The Value of the Small Farm

The excitement over the alien
land situation points to other fsa-
lures of land tenure than alien
ownership. 10 May the Honora-
BILE Thomas o. Sisson, representa-
tive from Mississippi, spoke be-
fore the House on the treaty-mak-
ing powers of the Government and
sounded three we'll formed .convic-
tiops in - many sentences. He
said /:
"Next to the alien ownership of
all of the land in the United
Sttaes, the most dangerous oondi-
ton would DO tho corporate owner
ship of our lands.
"The land should DO preserved
for tho honest settler, and those of
us who now own lands should not
bs permitted to dispose of them
except to individuals who expect
to farm tho lands themselves or
have it done under their specific
direction.
ut is the history of every coun-
try that whore land is divided up
into small farms, and tho man that
tills the soil owns it, the country
is happy and prosperous.
The tendency of this generation
10 toward the corporate ownership
of farm Landslide intense indus
trial spirit 10 back of that tsndsn-
cy. But with the advent OF the
large farm the farm home disap-
pears, farm life is snuffsd out, and
We have in ito plaoe . big "sys-
tenn" which for the time being
may b able to show satisfactory
financial results, but which will
ultimately mean both financial
dissatisfaction and social unrest.
The small farm we'll titled leads
to . contsnted community, the
large farm even if well cared far,
cannot receive the care it should;
it results is q complete loss of
community life and pride. Farm
