KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health Is Worth Saving and Som,
Chesterfield People Know
How to Save |

How to Save 1t.
Many Chesterfield people take
their lives in their hands by neg
lecting the kidneys when they knew
these organs need help. Weak kid
neys are responsible for a vast
amount of suffering and ill health,
but there is no need to suffer nor to
remain in danger. Use Doan's Kid
ney Pills-a remedy that has helped
thousands of kidney sufferers.
The following statement leaves no
ground for doubt.
Mrs. E. J. Wicker, King St., Ben
nettsville, S. c., says: 81 had pains
in my back all the time and in the
morning was so lame and sore that
l could hardly get out of bed. The
kidney secretions were irregular in
passage and l had other kidney dis
orders. Doan's Kidney Pills helped
me in eevry way"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Mrs. Wicker had. Foster-Milburn

A Little and a Few.
From The Marion Star:

From The Marion Star:
Plant little wheat, little oats, a
little tobacco, little corn and a lit
tie cotton. Raise few pigs, a few
colts, few chickens, and you will
always be able to have a few eggs for
breakfast, even when they are worth
40 cents dozen. Of course we know
that we are foolish to make any such
suggestions and that the front yards
and the back yards in Marion county
will be planted in cotton in 1917
but if some fellows will clip this ar
ticle, paste it on the wall and look it
over in 1920 he will be constrained
to say "The ed was right, after ALL"

IDEAL AMERICAN
FOWL IN MAKING

New York Jan. Am ideal amer
lean fowl, in which will be centered
all the good points Of all the good
breeds of hens, is the object of ex-
periments being conducted by the
United States government at it's farm
at Beltsville, Md Harry M. Lamon,
head husbandman of the government
farm, has been working for the last
five years on the new American pro-
duct. He explained his experiments
at the annual poultry show at Madi-
son Square Garden.
According to Mr.. Lamon the new
hen will have white plumage, yellow
legs, red ear lobes and a moderate
sized comb. In laying qualities and
the size of its egg it will resemble the
Leghorn. 1t will have as much meat
on it's body as Wyandottc, Barred
Rock or Plymoth Rock. The govern
ment farmer, Mr.. Lamon, plans to
have a big exhibit of the new hen at
the poultry show next season.

Length, about ten and three-fourths
inches.
Range: Breed generally In The
United States, southern Canada, and
Mexico to Costa Rica; winter from
the Ohio and Potomac valleys and
British Columbia southwark.
Habits and economic status: Our
two meadowlarks, though differing
much in song, resemble each other
closely in plumage and habits. Grassy
plains and uplands covered with a
thick growth OF grass or weeds, with
nearby water, furnish the conditions
best suited to the meadowlark's taste.
The song Of the western bird is loud,
clear, and melodious. That of it's east.
ern relative Is feebler and loses much
Dy comparison. In many localities
the meadowlark Is classed and shot
as a game bird. From the farmers
standpoint this a mistake, since it's
value as an insect eater is far greater
than as an object of pursuit by the
sportsman. Both the boil weevil, the
zoe OF the cotton grower, and the al
ralfa weevil are among the beetles It
habitually eats. Twenty-Five per cent
or the diet of this bird is beetles, half
or which are predaceous ground bee-
ties, accounted useful insects, and one
NTH are destructive weevils. Cater.
pillars form II per cent of the food
and are eaten in every month in the
year. Among these are many cut
worms and the well-known army
worm. Grasshoppers are favorite food
and are eaten in every month and al
most every day. The vegetable food

OF grain and weed seeds.

ages to have a tree between himself
and the observer Hence the bird Is
much better known by it's work than
It's appearance. The regular girdles
OF holes made by this bird are com.
mon on great variety Of trees; in all
about $50 kinds are known to be at
tackled. Occasionally young trees are
killed outright. but more loss is caused
by stains and other blemishes in the
wood which result from sapsucker
punctures. These blemishes, which are
known as bird pecks, are especially
numerous in hickory, oak, cypress, and
yellow poplar. Defects due to sap
sucker work cause an annual loss to
the lumber industry estimated at ST.
25o,000. The food OF the yellow-bel-
lied sapsucker Is about half animal
and half vegetable. It's fondness for
ants counts slightly in its favor! It
eats also. wasps, beetles Gncluding,
however, very few wood.boring spe-
cies), bugs. and spiders. The two
principal components OF the vegetable
food are wild fruits Of no Importance
and cambium (the layer Just beneath
the bark OF trees). In securing the
cambium the bird does the damage
above described. The yellow. bellied
sapsucker, unlike other woodpeckers,
thus does comparatively little good
and much harm.

Regarding the truly wonderful re-
;ults she said she had obtained from
he use of Tanlac, "The National
ronic," Mrs. Carrie Stukes, of 113
Huger St., Columbia, gave the follow
'ng highly interesting statement:

md indigestion for two or three
years, and had bad spells of some
lind Of trouble. They were awful.
| was in such bad condition at one
line that would have to crawl, for
I could not bear my weight on my
ieet.
"For a year or more lived on a
diet of milk and crackers and during
hat time l did not eat bite of solid
food. l could not sleep at night and
and I was in dread all the time,
though 1 did not know what was
dreading. had fourteen doctors to
treat me at different times, and was
told an operation was the only thing
that would do me any good
"When those awful attacks came
| would just draw up and drop where
ever was, and just about the same as
any one who is crazy when had one
of these terrible spells 1 felt lazy
and sick and tired all the time, and
even after nights rest would feel
so tired l could hardly move.
'For long time / could not do a
bit of work around the house and |
had to have some one do it for me.
My nerves were so bad would jump
and cry out if a door slammed and |
could not stand to have children
around.
"My husband read of the great re-
lief Tanlac had given so many peo-
pie and he bought it for me. l am
now taking my fourth BOTTLE. Dur
ing the first two weeks that took
Tanlac l gained ten pounds in weight
and l am now doing all my house
work. The Tanlac has helped me
wonderfully in every way and has
built up and regulated my stomach
so that l can now eat anything l care
to and my food is digested properly.
l do not suffer at all with stomach
trouble now.
"The Tanlac increased my strength
so much that l can compare my
strength with that of any two women
my size, and reIpembcr that it has not
been so long ago that was too weak
to walk. have had only one of those
bad spells since began taking Tan
lac and that came just few days af-
ter l began taking Tanlac. l really
feel like a new woman now, so great
has been the relief Tanlac gave me.
My nerves now are fine and strong,
and l am not troubled with nervous
ness.
81 sure can recommend Tanlac, and
| am glad to do so, and l hope that
some sufferer will profit from what I
have said. Tanlac is a truly won

ed that by what it did for me. 1t

Habits and economic status: In the
North and some parts of the West the
robin is among the most cherished of
our native birds. Should it ever be-
come rare where now common. it's
joyous summer song and familiar
presence will be sadly missed in many
a homestead. The robin is an omnivor-
ous feeder, and it's food includes many
orders OF insects, with no very pro-
nounced preference for any. 1t is very
fond OF earthworms, but it's real eco
nomic status Is determined by the
vegetable food, wlNch amounts to
about So per cent Of all. The prin-
cipal item is fruit, which forms more
than 81 per cent Of the total food.
The fact that in the examination of
over 1900 stomachs the percentage
OF wild fruit was found to be five
times that Of the cultivated varieties
suggests that berry-bearing shrubs, il
planted near the orchard, will serve
to protect more valuable fruits. In
California in certain years it has been
possible to save the olive crop from
hungry robins only by the most strenu-
CUB exertiOns and considerable ex-
pense. The birds general usefulness
is such, however, that all reasonable
means Of protecting orchard fruit
should be tried before killing the
birds
