Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
II is not alone the aching back, the stih,
painful joints, but The evil effect on bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition Of the kidneys makes good
health or illhealth.
The kidneys are the filters Of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this filtering is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
Gus or waste matter.
Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are ir-
ritated, and the circulation, digestion, etc.
are disturbed.
If your back aches constantly, If your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull
heavy, restless at night, rheumatic, dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp. piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the best.recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick
ly; contain no poisonous nor habitfprm-
ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
of any kind-just make you feel better all
over

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around.
then begin at the side and mako a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than ON
the hair. 1t is well to place a light
covering over tho hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged to BE Due to opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through phyai.
clans prescriptions Is the startling
statement made by Dr. L. r. Kebler,
Chief OF the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement
and others, proving that physicians
and not patent" medicines are re-
sponsible for the appalling growth Of
drug addiction In the United States
was made by Or. Kebler In an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Narcotics
DR.. Keller is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent, in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough In their use OF opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, Is creating thousands OF drug
users every year.
1T is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work In promoting the use OF cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor state
laws are not saving the public from
the grip Of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss of
the morphine and cocaine fiend
"The worst of 1t Is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country ia
becoming larger and larger year by
year. / have heard 1t said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. Of the CO
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR. Keb-
ler's address, DR. J. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, In a public
statement said that 10 out Of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he 10 connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.

With the tremendous increase in the
use of silos for utilizing a larger
amount of the corn plant and the
greater use of silage generally during
the last two Or three years, there has
arisen a great deal of inquiry, espe-
cially during the present winter, as
TO the value of silage for sheep. Re-
Gently silage has come into general
use on cattle farms. Now that its
value as cattle food, from the stand
point of cheapness, is becoming more
and more apparent, the man who
owns sheep is beginning to ask why
he cannot share in good thing, too,
writes Ellis Rail of the University of
Nebraska in Wallace's Farmer
Unfortunately, the use of silage for
sheep feeding purposes has been tried
out to but limited extent. Few
farmers have used it and the expert
ment stations have done little. From
all sources of investigation it seems
now that there is no reason why sill
age shall not find permanent place
in the list of desirable and economical
foodstuffs for sheep. The writer has
met several men this winter who have
used it with satisfactory results, and
one man especially, who had fed out
quite string of sheep with silage al
most the sole feed, was very enthus-
iastic in his appreciation of it. We
have not found any men who have
had trouble from feeding it.
There has been a popular concep-
ton that silage is more or less dan
gerous to feed sheep, especially breed
ing ewes. 1t was thought that it had
a weakening effect on the lambs also
that there is likely to be some NOR
tally among the ewes. Such ideas do
not seem to be we'll founded. 1t is
true that such results have been not
ed in f1ocks which had silage, but
careful observations show that other
factors may have had more to do with
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1913-01-16

the results than the silage. At the
station three years ago the eve flock
had considerable silage, in fact, all
they cared for. Also, the lambs were
not as strong at birth as they ought to
have been, and some loss was expe-
rienced at Landing time. But an ex-
cessive amount was allowed and ewes
were entirely too closely confined
without adequate exercise. Exercise
is an absolute necessity for pregnant
ewes If satisfactory results are to be
had at lambing time Lack OF an ex-
perienced shepherd to handle these
ewes at lambing time doubtless con-
tributed to the loss. Since that year
we have had no bad results
Back in the fall of 1907 the Indiana
station began to experiment with
silage for feeding pregnant ewes
One lot of ewes was fed silage along
with clover hay and grain, while an
other lot was fed more hay, slightly
more grain, but no silage. These two
lots of ewes were as nearly alike as
could be had The next year prac-
tically the same experiment was re
peated, and again in 1909. During the
first year a limited amount of silage
was fed The second year, four
pounds PEI head, per day, was allow
ed and as no bad results accompanied
this liberal feeding. the last year the
ewes were given all they would clean
up, which was practically 4.6 pounds.
With all they wished of the silage no
deleterious results were observed eth
er in the ewes or in the lambs.
AS to results from these three
years experiments, the authors OF
the bulletin concerning this expert
ment say that the general thrift and
appetite of the silage ewes was supe
rior to that of the lots fed hay and
grain alone The ewes, having guam
tity Of silage, made each year larg-
er gain over winter than did those on
dry feed. The latter averaged for
the three years gain of six pounds
while the silage ewes gained 1875
pounds, or more than twice as much.
Yet the writer's state definitely that
this gain was not mere fat like corn

feeding would produce. but that the
ewes were in good condition to pro-
duce strong. vigorous lambs. 1t was
noticeable fact that right straight
through the whole three years, the
lambs from the ewes having the succu-
lent feed l. e., silage, averaged nearly
10 per cent larger at birth. AS to the
cost of feed, the ration including
Stage proved the more economical,
while more satisfactory results were
obtained. The lambs from these two
lots Of ewes were all fed out for an
early market and those from each lot
did equally well, gaining nearly half
pound per day until they were sold.
The general results. of this test run
ming for three years show definitely
that the use of silage for ewes. even
in large amounts, will not interfere
with the health and thrift Of the preg-
nant eve nor of her prospective
lamb Also, the succulence which the
silage affords seemed to promote the
thrift and general health OF the eve,
and because of the added health and
yigor, the foeti were better nourished,
with the consequent result that larg-
er lambs were produced. Furthermore
the producing of all these satisfactory
results did not affect the lambs I'M
favorably, and the silage ration was
more economical
Accurate data regarding the value
of silage in a ration for fattening
Ia f- hit 4ash1
there is indicates that it is useful. As
far back as the early nineties the
Michigan experiment station fed some
lambs on silage and other foodstuffs.
Tho gist of their findings is to the
effect that mixture of folders com
posed largely of a good quality Of
silage proved cheap and successful
ration for fattening lambs.
The Iowa station at Ames made
some comparative tests of dry hays,
roots, and silage as roughness in 1905
and 1907. In lots fed the first winter,
the silage cheapened the ration con-
siderably. During the second winter
the various lots we're fed for a long
period, 1913 days. and the silage lot
refused to eat much silage. They ate
almost as much grain and hay as the
other lots did and the gain on these
silage lambs was more expensive than
was that with some of the other food
combinations. But the average of the
two years was favorable to the use of
silage as a means of cheapening the
ration The lambs from all lots fin
ished into market toppers, but the
dressed carcasses showed the silage
lambs little superior on the hook.
Taking these few experiments then
into consideration, and also the gen
eral results which various feeders
have obtained in practical work. it
seems that silage has an important
place among desirable and economical
feeds for fattening sheep.
1t is my opinion that silage can be
fed to sheep with satisfactory results.
The use of moldy or frozen silage may
cause trouble. but good, clean, bright
silage can be used with excellent re-
suits, either as a succulent food for
breeding ewes in winter or as cheap
but satisfactory and efficient roughage
for fattening lambs and sheep, This
opinion is based partially on observa-
lions of fiocks which have been fed,
and partially on the experiments
quoted above. The results to date
point toward silage as a cheap and
valuable feed for sheep.

GOOD PROFITS IN
RAISING POPCORN
Crop Should Be Cultivated and
Cared for in Same Manner
as Other Corn.

With popcorn so popular an article
OF consumption as 1t is, there is no
farm in any portion of the corn belt
that should not grow patch to sup
ply the family needs. Popcorn will
do we'll on any land that will produce
good crop of corn.
1t should be cultivated and cared
for in the same general manner as
corn, though it may be planted more
closely. 1t ripens in about 100 days.
and it should be shocked at soon as 1t
is ripe, so that it will dry out well be-
fore husking. 1t will produce from so
to so bushels of ears with a good
stand. and this will fetch from 81 to
