NO BREAD TICKETS NECESSARY
Agricultural Survey Shows Farmer Is
Prepared for Emergencies.

There will be no necessity for bread
tickets or meat diet restrictions in the
United States, in ease of invasion by
any foreign foe. because the American
farmer is prepared for emergencies.
This is the lesson drawn from an ag
ricultural preparedness survey Just com
pleted by Rock Island lines. as a vol
untary contribution to the movement
for Industrial preparedness, inaugural
ed by the naval consulting board.
Emergency increases of from 10 to
80 per cent in the supply of breadstuffs
and pork are possible in most of the
central Mississippi valley states, accord
ing to statements made by directors of
Il dozen state experiment stations, and
published III the July issue of The
Southwest Trail, the Rock Island S of
fetal farm magazine
l.. NJ. Allen, passenger traffic man.
ager, who had supervision of the work,
states that the outstanding fact is the
ability of the wheat, corn and cotton
states not only to sustain themselves,
| but to furnish the bulk of the nation s
| food supply and to make quick changes
| in the farming program, should necessi-
| ty arise. 1t appears, further. that the
| nation has available peculiarly efficient
and convenient channels for reaching
the farmer, These include state agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
tions. which are supported in part by
the national government and the coun-
ty farm adviser system. The latter is
provided for in the Smith-Lever act
/ which insures appropriations of over
| $40. 100000 for nine year period, with
+, ar annual continuing appropriation
| til ereafter Through these arms the
| government reaches out to the individu
| al farmer to enable quick changes in
| crops when emergencies arise.
In a summary of the survey, atten
| ton is directed to the economic leaks
in American agriculture, such as tho
losses from animal diseases estimated
by Secretary of Agriculture Houston
at 1912 100000 annually; the shortag,
of potash due to temporary shutting
off of the German supply, the necessity
for more livestock on every farm Il
conserve soil fertility and relieve thu
worldwide shortage of beef.

What is the Cause
Of Rheumatism.
Lumbago and
Gout :?
(By Valentine Mott Pierce. NJ. d.

Ever since Scheele, in ITS, discov-
cred that uric acid was present in the
system, scientific men have been maxi
| ing experimental investigations and 1t
| is the almost universal opinion of our
best medical men that the presence Of
uric acid in the system In excess is the
cause of rheumatism and govt. When
the urate salts are precipitated out OF
the blood into the solid tissue-struc-
ture the persons suffers from govt or
rheumatism in the muscles and joints,
| or suffers from lumbago and pain in
the back muscles. The first aim Of
the sufferer should be to get rid of the
uric acid, which, in excess, is a poison,
and to do this it is well to drink pint
of hot water morning and night-get
tablets of Anuric at the nearest drug
store and take them before meals reg
ularly. Anuric will do no harm to the
system and will carry off the uric acid
| by stimulating the kidneys. Then
tincture iodine may be painted over
the swellings, or in more severe cases
| hot linsed poultices may be applied to
soothe the local symptoms. But most
important is it for the sufferer to alb
stain from red meat, to diet, drink
only lemondate or hot water, and take
Anuric for a considerable time as it
causes a drainage outward of the uric
acid and is many times more potent
than lithia and usually one finds that
| it dissolves uric cid as hot water does
Sugar-Ady.

Darning System

downright, 1916, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate)
Have YOU a system for darning and
mending, or do you follow a wlli-o-
the-wisp method, and mend things
without rhyme or reason, at no par
ticular time and in no particular way:
System helps in darning and anything
that makes this rather unpleasant task
the easier Is worth looking into.
There Is a certain young woman who
mends her stockings In bed before she
gets up in the morning. Now she has
a certain system, anu in her case 1t
works quite well. Each day when she
wishes to put on a fresh pair of stock
ings that show holes, she simply mends
it before she puts 1t on. She has time
for this method, and she has followed
it consistently and very satisfactorily
to herself for several years.
But her method, or system, however
satisfactory she may find 1t, would
not do for many others
The first thing necessary in working
out system Of darning is to mark all
stockings so that they can be sorted
quickly and easily. There are many
ways of doing this. Little crosses Of
different colors can be worked in the
top Of the stockings, or initials or
names woven in tape can be used
Numbers can also be used, and these
are especially useful because they can
be used to keep pairs of stockings mat
ed. One member Of the family can be
given the numbers from one to ten, one
the numbers from eleven to twenty,
and so on. Or the same numbers woven
in different colors can be used.
1t Is often advisable to pin a little
note on the outside Of stockings that
have been darned to show Just what
sort Of stockings they are.
For instance, one note would read:
stockings with big darn In heel"
Don't wear with low shoes. Another
might read. Small darn in right toe.
Silk stockings"
In spite of the young women who
mends her stockings in bed, most Of us
find 1t essential to anything like con-
tentment, especially If we have a big
FAMILY to care for, to darn all the
stockings every week. 1t may be i'm
possible. and 1t is usually quite un-
necessary. to darn them all at once.
Darning may be made pickup work.
and may be done at odd times. Rut
perhaps the plcasantest way is to have
one morning or afternoon or morning
as we'll. Several neighbors and a Gun
OF tea turn drudgery into pleasure. and
ne1ghborhood darning club is sure IN
prove popular.
