IF kidneys ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much Meat
Which Forms Uric Acid.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
il generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood, and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters 1t is expensive, can
not injure and makes a delightful, eff
fervescent Whitewater drink. adv

Farm Changes
For Boil WeeViI
Readiustment Requires Careful Plan
ming TO Be Safe
ANDREW Nj. soULE, President Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.

ANDREW Nj. soULE, President Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
Any system of safe farming, under
boil weevil conditions should provide
that the cultivated area of the farm
should be so divided as to grow
enough corn to provide for family and
the live stock throughout the year.
The area will vary with the fertility
of the land, but on a two-horse farm
not less than ten, or, better still, TWEEN
ty acres of land should be devoted to
this crop. Enough land should be
devoted to oats and small grains to
meet home requirements.
If the oats are properly handled
they will provide some grazing. A
great variety Of hay and forage-pro-
ducing crops can be grown successful
ly after oats, but it is important to
remember that the cultivation of le-
gumes should be emphasized because
of their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air.
Certainly, the farmer should provide
all the meat needed for his family.
There is no reason why two to six
brood sows should not be maintained
on the average two-horse farm. Graz
ing crops should be depended on to
provide the food needed for the growth
and fattening of young pigs. They
can be hardened off with little corn
in the fall and very choice quality
Of meat obtained.
A small flock of hens will provide
all the eggs needed and leave a sur
plus for sale. Probably no class OF
meat is in greater demand in towns
and cities than chickens.
Every wise farmer will keep at least
two cows so that his family will be
supplied with an abundance of milk
and butter at all seasons of the year.
Then If he will keep couple of brood
mares and raise a colt or two each
year, he can maintain his work stock
on an efficient basis. Next the farmer
] should provide garden. A half acre
of land will produce all the vegetables
which family of six can possibly eat,
and If proper rotation is established
and the garden well fortified and han
! died, fresh vegetables may be had at
almost any season of the year. There
is probably no section which will pro
duce a greater variety of vegetables
with greater ease than the southeast
ern states, and yet the garden is neg
lected, because its value is not appre.
ciated and its influence on the health
of the family not understood.
After having accomplished the fore
going, the farmer should devote a
reasonable area of his land to the
cultivation of cotton, as his mair
money crop If this plan is followed
a system of safe farming will have
been established throughout the south

Treating SOrehead
Or Chicken POx
VIM. s. DILTs, Poultry Instructor Ga.
State College OF Agriculture.

WIN. .. LII D, Pouitry instructor, Ga.
State College OF Agriculture.
The disease commonly known as
Sore Head or Chicken Pox is very
prevalent in Georgia 1t first appears
as small, white pimples on the face,
wattles or comb of the bird These
pimples grow in size and later a dark,
hard scab forms. In extreme cases,
the unfeathered portions of the head
are entirely covered and the eyes are
nearly closed. The disease may spread
to other portions Of the body.
The whitish pimples should be paint
ed with tincture of iodine and creased
with carbolated vaseline. If the scabs
are dry, they should be removed and
burned
The following treatment can be used
for building up the system, thus in
creasing resistance to the disease.
For three days feed the chickens a
moist mash each day containing one
third teaspoonful EPSON salts for ev-
cry fowl in the flock. For the three
days following, feed moist mash con-
tanning one-third teaspoonful sulphur
for every fowl in the flock This treat
ment can then be repeated in this or
der as long as thought desirable.

tiers of Confederacy was that yesterday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. R. S.

Mrs. Charles L. Ansley, chairman of
the committee, proved a delightful fea-
ture which was instructive for the
members
Quite an addition to the meeting was
the music program participated in by
accomplished artists who were greeted
with interest. Mrs. J. w. Harris, Jr.
the chairman of the music committee
of the chapter, sang, "One Fleeing
Hour" the accompaniment being play
ed by Mrs. Will Dudley. Miss Louella
Fields rendered Beethoven's Sonata, of
much interest with her artistic work.
The solo of Memories" by Miss Melva
Clark was one of the features Of the
program Miss Louella Fields again
played, rendering Wienawski's Waltz,
and then Mrs. ]. w. Harris, Jr., sang
eco To Sleep, My Dusky Baby" to
the music of Humoresque, played by
Mrs. VIII Dudley.

Stiff lands of Georgia ought to be
plowed in the fall, the earlier the bet
ter, so that they will get the advan-
tage Of the freezing and thawing
through the year. 1t is better to leave
the land rough so as to expose as
much of it as possible to the elements.
For this reason blowing is much bet,

The fall is the best time to pillow
deep, for at that time the subsoil is
dry and does not clod 1t is also the
time to subsoil for the same reason.

Keen the Cellar Clean.

A great deal Of illness can be traced
to the cellar. The cellar not unusually
opens into the kitchen, and the kitchen
Is heated while the cellar Is not. Fol-
lowing natural laws, the cold air OF
the cellar rushes to take the place of
the warmer and therefore lighter air of
the kitchen. This would be all right II
the air of the cellar were pure. but Of
ten II is not.
Partly decayed vegetables may be
there or rotten wood. A day should
be taken to throw out all dirt, rotten
wood, decaying vegetables and other
accumulations. Brush down the cob
webs and give the walls and ceiling a
good coat Of whitewash. II a white
wash brush is not at hand take an old
broom and spread the whitewash on
thick and strong. 1t will sweeten up
the air in the cellar, the parlor and the
bedrooms. and 1t may save the family
from the Affections Of fever. diphtheria
and doctors.
