Old Folks Recipe
For Weak Kidneys
To Quickly Save Elderly People from
Kidney and Bladder Miseries.

While people well along in years are
more subject to weak kidneys and bladder
than younger folks, their trouble need
not necessarily be serious and can often
be easily corrected by safe simple home
kidney regulator that acts promptly. A
good plan is to stop eating meat. sugar
and sweets for few days and to take a
few doses of Solvax with which Bow
ditch Webster & Co. or any local druggist
can easily supply you at little expense.
Solvax is harmless and -cts safely but
quickly on the kidneys and bladder to
strengthen them for their natural work
and drain out all the impurities from tie
blood that cause the kidneys to get slow
and sluggish. Twenty-four hours gener-
ally show results and make the kidneys
act fine. Back Pains and weakness soon
are forgotten and sufferers are enabled
to get a good eight hours sleep without
getting in and out bed several times dur
ing the night.
Do not suffer another day but see at
once II Solvax will not relieve you. If
you find it does not tell the druggist so
and he will cheerfully return the money
you paid him for 1t. We know no strong
er argument for any medicine than the
willingness of those who sell 1t to stand
back Of it In this way.-Adv.

AS to the proper temperature at which

A common fault in incubator operation
is to give the eggs too prolonged coolings.
This is neither necessary nor desirable.
The eggs should be cooled once or twice
daily but not for too long time nor too
great a degree. Except in hot weather
five or 10 minutes will be sufficiently
long.
Under the climatic conditions which pre-
vail in Maine it appears to be necessary
to provide in some way for the addition
of moisture to the incubator while it Is
in operation. The easiest and best way for
doing this is to use a machine provided
with sand trays from which evaporation
occurs throughout the period of incuba-
ton. In case one is using machines not
provided with such trays, the best way
appears to be to sprinkle the eggs when
they are turned, with water at a tempera-
ture of 1O3-1o5 degrees. In many cases
following this simple precaution will in
crease the hatch by 30 to 40 per cent.
The only things to remember in adding
moisture by the sprinkling method are:
In the first place. that the temperature
of the water must be high enough so that
it will not chill the eggs suddenly upon
contact: and. in the second place. that
after the eggs have been sprinkled the
tray should be at once put back into the
machine.

WHY Tolerate Catanrh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg-
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with a solution Of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
Scott's acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glycerine to check the Inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.

AN INTERESTING
OLD NEWSPAPER

An old copy of the American Advocate

being dated Saturday, September Z, 1876
1t was published in Hallowell by Ma
thaniel Cheever and is exceedingly we'll
preserved. the paper being firm and but
slightly yellowed by age. The print is
clear and distinct. 1t Is four page
sheet, 13 by 10 inches. each page contain
ing five columns.
One item is Of especial interest, being
the vote taken in May and again in Sep
tember on the question Of separation Of
what is now Maine from the Common
wealth Of Massachusetts,. In May the
total of the vote was 72Sa for and ;167
against separation. Before the vote Of
September there seems to have been
something of a change as the vote was
much closer. being 1892 for and 6502
against. From May to September opinion
In Gardiner was reversed. In May her
vote was 62 for and Il against while the
last vote gave 69 for and rs against. A
comparison of the total vote of Gardiner
in September with that of Hallowell is in
teresting. Gardiner cast a total Of 145
and Hallowell total Of 324. The vote of
Lewiston. then a part Of Lincoln county
was very small as compared with what
similar question put before the people
today would bring out in that city. The
total vote Of that city was 156. Augusta
voted heavily in favor Of the proposition
on both occasions. In May the vote was
245 for and "a against. In September 1t
was 25S for and 80 against.

Orono, Me-, March 29.-(SpeciaD.-
following was made public today by
Director Charles D. Woods of the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station:
This is the season of the year when the
poultryman is turning hiss energies to the
replenishment Of the flock. The beginner
is almost certain to have trouble at this
time Extensive correspondence on TINS
subject would indicate that even the eX-
perienced breeder has his dift1cultles "itE
incubation from time to time. According
to the experience Of the Maine Agrlcui-
tural Experiment Station there are three
fundamental principles essential to sue
cess in the Matching of good chickens
with incubators. These are: First ana
most important. good breeding stock Kept
in proper condition and a high state OF
vigor by suitable feeding and manage
ment Second, to have good, standard
reliable incubator and follow the dlrec-
tions of it's manufacturer in regard to'lts
operation. Third, to be sure that plenty
of moisture is provided in the incubating
chamber.
The poultryman who gets into difhcul-
ties in incubating chickens is prone to at
tribute his troubles to the incubator or 10
it's management. 1t is safe to say tnat
in seven cases out Of 10 the trouble is not
with the incubator at all, but goes much
farther back. The failure of the eggs to
hatch has it's origin in a lack OF vigor
and proper condition in the breeding
stock In making a selection of the birds
to be used as breeders, the first requisite
is high constitutional vigor. The exter-
nal visible evidences Of a sound constitu-
ton and a possession Of abundant vitall-
ty and vigor are numerous. In the first
place the bird Of sound constitution will
be in perfect health. Perhaps its most
striking characteristic will be an inde-
pendence of disposition and demeanor.
BY this is not necessarily meant aggres-
siveness. The bird, whether male or fe-
male, which is forever picking quarrels
with it's fellows is by no means always
the bird of greatest vigor. Strange as 1t
may seem a bird may indeed be very far
from mollycoddle and yet have a peace
able disposition. 1t may be taken as an
unfailing characteristic of birds of high
constitutional vigor. however, that they
are able to take care of themselves and
may not be imposed upon. or bullied by
their fellows. with impunity.
The bird of high constitutional vigor will
have thrifty appearance, with bright
eye. and clean, well-kept plumage. The
head will be broad and relatively short,
giving in it's appearance plain indication
of strength. 1t will show nothing of the
long-drawn-out, sickly, crow-like appear
ance of the head which is all too common
amongst the inhabitants of the average
poultry yard. The beak will be relatively
short and strong, thus correlating with

Physicians in Consultations
Kidney Trouble Overcome

In April. 1914, I was attacked with Kid
ney and Bladder trouble and suffered
great pain and was confined to my bed
for two months. I was attended by ply
sicians and was patched up and went
back to work, but continued to suffer
more or less, until about the 18th of De-
cember 1914, when 1 called in two promi-
nent physicians, who held consultation
over my case and announced that an
operation was necessary, that my right
kidney would have to be removed. At this
point my Brother-in-Law, who lives at
Texarkana, insisted that 1 try Swamp
Root, which gave him relief. I began
taking Swamp-Root at once, and from
the first bottle have steadily gained in
weight from $50 pounds to ITO pounds in
six weeks time. l feel good, have good
appetite, sleep we'll: in fact, feel like
