"Blood-Ietting - that's what this
export drain on our wheat supply
really is! The European nations are
like leeches on the TANKS of America,

The startling simile was offered by
Prof. J. Paul Goode, one of the ma
tons leading economists, when I
said l had come to him for an au-
thOritative, scientific survey, from
the economists point Of view, of the
present alarming wheat crisis.
Undoubtedly the wheat crisis, to-
gether with the terrible unemploy-
ment situation, constitute Americas

"WeIl, in just the same way, by a
very odd chance, the bIood-Ietting

such a demand can only force the
price Of wheat way up.
But what the public wants to
know is whether the spectators in
the wheat pit are playing a fancy
tracery for their own profit over this
perfectly natural and inevitable rise.

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts OF the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbagO, rheuma-
tism, gout or sciatica- This is the time

1t is a mistake to plant toe thickly,
as rank-growing shrubs have to be cut
out next season. 1t is better to plant
small. well-grown nursery specimens
in the places where large trees are
permanently desired than to try to
plant full-sized trees. Some trees can
be successfully transplanted If they
have been properly prepared by root
pruning. But 1t is the work Of spe-
cialists. not for the amateur.
EverRreens ought always to be
