We are nation of meat eaters and

to be constantly on guard against kid

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork: they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.

garden variety of potato is a luxury
these days. During the past two weeks
potatoes have been on the upward
trend in the market and TODAY the local
price ranges from 81 to- $3.50 per
bushel Those merchants who bought
a big supply last fall are selling for
labout3a dollar, but those who have ex-
hausted their supply. and are COM
PEELED to buy, are. getting higher
prices. For some time potatoes have
been shipped in, but a few local bins
have been emptied into the stores that
have offered dollar a bushel for
them. Even at this, price. however,
groceryme en- say that they can not get
enough potatoes here to supply the de-
smands OF their trade.
The scarcity is not by any means
confined to this locality. At Waterloo
potatoes were quoted Monday at SIPS

Iowas women farmers and farm
owners occupy a more important place

realize. On the basis of an investiga--
ton In Story, Page and Delaware
counties, it is estimated that there are
at least 5,426 women in Iowa who are
actively managing and working farm
ers. controlling operations on about
$50, 900 acres of land. Estimating on
the same basis 1t is probably true that
Iowa has more than 10000 women
farm owners and farm operators con !
trolling 2.544,S0O acres of land They
are, therefore, in charge of landed in

1T is worth while for the women
farmers of Iowa to organize, for the
promotion of their mutual interests"
says Dean c. F. Curtiss who has for
year or two had in mind the holding
Of such an conference as is now
planned. These women farm owners
and operators are among our best
farm business managers. They, in
many instances also, are leaders jim

washington. Jan. 2s.-Decision of the
president and democratic leaders In the
house and senate to press for legisla-
ton for 4 tariff commission has excited
no end Of talk about the capitol.
The expectation is that tariff COM
mission bill viii be passed by congress.
AS things look now, the president will
have named such q commission and
it will be organized by the time the
e-election campaign is under way.
Two years or even less ago. a predic-
ton that this administration would ne
found supporting a tariff commission
bill and that such a bill would prevail
in democratic congress would have
been looked on as foolish In other
words, this new and sudden decision OF
the democrats-not all Of them, but
most OF them-to support a tariff COM
mission plan is one OF the most sur
prising reversals of policy in the po-
litical and Legislative annals Of the
nation.
StsaIing Republican Thunder.
For years, progressive republicans
have been urging Legislation for tar
III commission. Such legislation has
been checked by a combination OF
standpat or high tariff republicans and
democrats. This was the, case even so
late as in the last congress.
What has brought about this remark
able change Of front?
The change has been due to several
reasons. One OF the reasons. and no.
the least, Is that administration poliii-
cal chieftains, casting about for some
way to meet the republican tariff at
tacks. have conceived the notion that
If they provide for a tariff commission
there will be little left of the tariff as
an issue In this years campaign.
Sinking Future Responsibility.
Another reason Is that the democrats
foresee that it may be necessary to
change their base on tariff when the
war Is over and dumping begins. They
feel that II they are required to I'M
pose duties on the strength Of re-
port from q commission they will be
less under accusation Of having aban-
doned free trade and tariff TOR revenue

Still another reason Is the strong
pressure from business men and q
growing class Of people who feel the
nIlt1 Has SDNc W 1AoP ~ SasiH6 LIZ sSh1 !
ifsAs the playthfng OF the political par
ties.
In creating tariff commission, the
democrats are not going to admit they
have changed front. They will lay 1t
to the war In other words, they will
hold out the idea that the commission
is being created to gather data which
will enable this couRtry to meet the
unparalleled conditions expected to
arise when peace comes in Europe.

Ever since we began the improves
ment Of corn, the difficulty in securing
good seed has Increased, for the reason
that Improvement has increased the
size Of the ear, has measarablye ae5
creased the. size Of athe cob, and the
space between the rows Of corn on the
cob. ,E3
Now, it Is n1anifestly easier to
secure seed corn from an air of med
ium size, size that will mature easily
in an ordinary year. and with more
space between the rows, than 1t Is with
corn OF an improved type. Buts the
worst Of 1t is thattweedelight in the big
ear OF corn. just as we delight In a. fine
looking, fat bull or heifer, that we wish
to purchase for breeding purposes. We
are built that way. In other words,
the farmer has, an eye for beauty Of
figure and conformation; and that Is
human nature. Hence, in the northern
part OF the corn belt, farmers, as we
have pointed out time and time again,
are inclined to grow q type Of corn too
big for the climate In an ordinary year
and this increases the difficulty In
saving seed corn In these localities.

Boy Hog Raiser
Gives Details of
Growth of Pig

Council Bluffs, Jan. 2S.--An idea OF
what has been accomplished during
the past summer by the boys Of the
county who have been members Of the
Baby Pork Club under the direction Of
the extension department Of the state
college at Ames may be cleaned from
the story written by Fred Sporting,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Sporting,
living on Mcpherson avenue, which he
sent in this week to Prof. e. c. Bishop
at Ames, who Is in charge Of the Junior
extension work.
In the story young Sporting has told
of his experiences as a member Of the
club and has given a detailed account
of his expenditures and receipts for the
pig which he took to feed
The story Is a part of the require
ments which must be fulfilled by menu
bers competing for q prize and the
Sporting boy will probably be among
the number who goes to Ames next
week to attend the short course to be
held there for prize winners in vari-
Gus contests which have been In pro-
gress over the state during the past
year.
According to Sperling's record he eX-
pended $13.26 in the case OF pig
which he acquired from his father
June 90 weighing at the time siXty-slA
pounds. The boy cared for the ami
NAL and on Nov. T. when he had him
weighed the pig tipped the scales at
301 pounds, gain of 235 pounds.l This
makes the cost per pound gain 90
cents.
The lad had opportunity to sell the
pig for $17.04, leaving him a net prof
it Of $3.7S.
Boys Story Of His Pig.
Fred's own story of his venture fol-
lows:
joined the Baby Pork Club partly
because l wanted to learn something
about pig and I thought it would be
nice thing to take up some OF my
spare time. I am glad i entered BE-
cause l learned something about the
caring for pigs and made some moneY
besides.
When this contest started l asked
my father if he had a pig he would sell
me and he said yes that he had good
one already picked out. So / Went
and looked at him. He looked pretty
good to me so I took him.
My pig was a full blooded Duroc
Jersey. He was very wild when / got
him but he is very tame now. l kept
him in the grape arbor most Of the
summer I fed him alfalfa, shorts, oil
meal, corn, bran, buttermilk. He ate:
