THE NEW METHOD.
CBy Il. w. Bower. Nj. d.

Backache of any kind is often
caused by kidney disorder. which
means that the kidneys are not
working properly. Poisonous matter
and uric acid accumulate within the
body in great abundance, over-work-
ing the sick kidneys, hence the con-
gestion of blood causes backache in
the same manner as similar con-
gestion in the head causes headache.
You become nervous, respondent.
sick, feverish, irritable, have spots
appearing before the eyes, bags un-
der the lids, and lack ambotion to
do things.
The latest and most effective
means of overcoming this trouble,
is to eat sparingly of meat, drink
plenty of water between meals and
take a single Anuric tablet before
each meal for while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist
for Anuric If you aren't feeling up
to the standard. If you have lumba-
go, rheumatism, dropsy, begin i'm
mediately this treatment with An
uric. Most scientists and medical
men believe that because of an over
abundance of uric acid in the sys-
tenn, uriatic salts are deposited in
the tissues and cause rheumatism
and govt.
The physicians and specialists at
DR.. Pierce's Institution In Buffalo,
N. Y, have thoroughly tested An
hric and have been with one accord
successful in eradicating and throw
fng from the system the uric acid
which accumulates and poisons.
Patients having once used Anuric
at the institution have repeatedly
sent back for more. Such a demand
has been created that Doctor Pierce
decided to put Anuric in the drug
stores of this country, in a ready
to-use form. 1t will be their own
fault If those suffering from uric
acid troubles do not take advantage
Of this wonderful remedy.-tadv.)

II was a painful process but such
was the beginning OF that life OF suf-
fering upon which Gods son had
determined to enter In the interest
OF men. The outstanding fact was
that he received the name Jesus. iIi-
aicating that he was to be the sa-
viour of mankind.
Into the Jewish covenant. oonse-
quontiy, there has entered by this
circumcision Saviour, one destined
like his namcsake, Joshua. to lead
the Lords people out of all bondage
into glorious liberty.
The poverty OF Jesus and his pa
rents is shown by tho fact that when
they went TO the temple at Jerusalem
to make the presentation when he
was forty days old. according to the
Jewish law. they were not able to
bring full offering to the Lord.
which consisted OF a lamb and two
turtle doves or two pigeons. II n
family were too poor TO make full
offering they were to offer the doves
or pigeons. and this they did at the
presentation OF Jesus Chrst; and yet
some times people are despised h.
cause they are poor. Let us remd m
Der that when we despise poverty
or despise the poor we are thus far
idespising Christ, for he was born In
poverty and reared In the most hum
BILE station OF life.
After the visit OF the wise men
and the flight into Egypt until after
the death OF Herod who sought his
life. his parents returned from
Egypt and went back to shsty little
home at Nazareth; that It might be
fulfilled as spoken by the prophet.

the thirtieth year OF his age. That
ministry lasted only three years.
and yet. In these three years Is con-
densed tho deepest meaning In the
history OF religion.
No great life ever passed 80 swift
ly, SO quietly. so humbly, so far re-
| moved from the noise and commo-
tion OF the world. and no great life
after its close excited SO much uni
versal and lasting interest.
! His whole life was one unbroken
act of self conservation to the glory
OF God, and to the eternal welfare of
his fellow men.
Some one has truly said that 1t is
idle to institute comparisons with
saints and sages, ancient and mod
ern. Even the infidel Rousseau was
forced to exclaim. IF Socrates lived
and died like sage, Jesus lived and
died like q God"
Napoleon said, II know men, and

GROWING CABBAGE PLANTS

Quite a number of our farmers are planning to engage in cab bage growing on a commercial scale the coming year. There IS no question as to the crop being nroftable when the essential re- duiraments are carefully adhered to.
 Those who expect to put in a considerable acreage will find it best to grow their own plants, a nd growing the plants is not a difficult process. Itis not neces- sarv to send off and buy the so- called frost proof" plants that invariably arrive in a shriyeled and half dead condition, when we can grow plants just as good, if not better, and take them nice and fresh from the beds and set direct in the field, thus insuring a practically perfect stand.
 Cabbage is a cool-weather veg table, 1t will not thrive in the h eat of our southern summers, nd on the other hand, when properly grown, the plants will stand a temperature as low as 15 degrees below zero without in- jury. In this particular the southern growers have certain decided advantage, as 1t IS nec- essary to bring the spring crop to marketable maturity as early as possible in order to get the best prices.
 Some of our horticulturist ad- voeate the building of hot-beds for starting the plants, but in this latitude we would not agree to this only when in the hands of experienced gardeners. Cab bage plants that are to be sent out in the open before lthe close of winter must not be grown in a hot bed. It Is well to rememb- CT this. The cold-frame is the thing for the southern cabbage grower. The chief function of the cold-frame is to afford pro- tection to the plants during peri ods of freezing weather. The essential difference between the hot-bed and the cold-frame is that the latter Is not provided with bottom or artificial heat.
 The cold-frame should be locat- ed in a sunny, well drained and moderately fertile spot conven- tent to the field, and if practicab- ie, convenient is five feet six in- ches, and the length may vary from ten to sixty feet as desired,
 The construction of a cold frame is very simply snd inex- pensive. The back wall should be board one by sixteen inches fastened securely to two by four pieces driven into the ground about eight feet apart. The front wall should be a ten inch

from injury by low tempera- lures. The covers should never be left on during the day, unless the weather is extremely bad, and during all warm nights, eV- en should there be alight frost, the beds should be open. This nardens the plants, makes them stock, develops a strong root system, and when transferred to the open field, the change of en- vironment does not affect them adversely.

board secured Tn like manner, | and the ends should be closed | with a board of simular dimen- sions, taking care that the corn CTS fit closely with the top edges flush at each corner. This gives the frame a six inch slope, which should face either the south or southwest. The rafters should be one by three inch pieces, laid flat, every three feet apart, and notched into the frame flush with the top edges.
 The soil inside the frame sho uld be only moderately fertile as a rapid and succulent growth is to be avoided. Thoroughly pulverized and we'll routed ami nal manure may be used in mod crate quantities mixed with the top soil. but clean fresh soil from the forest. made clear of leaves and other coarse particles, is the ideal thing for a cold-frame. The S oil should be raked down very smooth before the seed are planted. The planting may be planted broadcast or in drills a. bout three inches apart. Usual ly drilling is to be preferred as a more uniform stand can be se- cured and less seed are required. From four to six ounces ot seed are required to furnish suf- ficient plants for an acre. The planting should be made about the last of October or early Nov ember. It is best to SOW the seed rather thinly in drills so as to- avoid crowding. as crowdlng makes weak and spindling plants.
 
 Where there is overlapping of the plants they must be thinned out when quite small. A good strong, stocky plants should be the end sought after, and toI secure this, they must be grown slowly but steadily. Keeping the bed we'll watered after the seed are sown until they are up, IS an important matter. but after germination watering must be withheld unless rather badly needed, as there is danger of making the plants grow too rap- idly at first.
 Another very important con- sideration is seed and varieties. The very best grade of seed should be secured, as there IS no economy in planting cheap seed. The best grade of American grown seed will cost around $4.OO per pound unless large quantities are purchased. In this latitude, the best varieties for planting for shipment to northern market in the early part of the season are the Early Jersey and Charl- eston Wakefield. and the crop may be about equally divided between the two.
 It is not necessary to cover the bed when the seed are planted unless the weather should be dry and windy. causing rapid drying of the surface and delayed ger imitation. Under favorable con- dition it would be advisable to place temporary cover of old gunny sacks or rough boards ov- CT the bed to retain moisture un- til the seed have germinated, but any covering of this nature should be removed immediate Iy after the seed have germinat- ed. Under favorable conditions the seed should be up in from five to seven days after planting
 The next question to consider is the kind of cover to use on the frame, keeping in mind the fact that to grow first class cabbage plants they must be developed slowly, but steadily. and at the same time protected from freez-

land Moline and East Moline have adopted the
Nelson Form for Choosing Bidders and Award
ing Contracts to take effect Sept. I, 1916.

sation for bidders, thereby more Justly distrlbu-
ting the cost Of competition the cost of which the
ultimate consumer has always paid under past
methods.
In return for this compensation the consumer
is given the privilege OF awarding the contract to
whomever he chooses without obligation OF any
nature. One consumer will not have to pay for
competition received by another.
Recognizing the. fact that the public is always
ready to indOrse movement which provides for
more lust and fair practice and which without
question will develop a higher class of work and
service in any line of endeavor, and stop economic
waste. the members of this exchange feel confident
Of Your support and Endorsement Of this progress
sive step.
