PLANT A GARDEN AND REDUCE
THE COST OF LIVING

The apparent shortage in food
stuffs all over the United States
should have the effect of making
people take notice Of their ability
to render aid in the time of
necessity. The American people
as a class have been in the past
most profigate with the indul-
gencies that nature has endowed
them with and waste seems to
have had precedence over saving.
This probably was brought about
by the fact that general prosper
ity has royalty reigned and the
surplus was sufficient to look out
for the unfortunates who happen
along the way. However differ
ent conditions confront US at this
time, and all minds should be
bent to the point where safe
guarding our national resources
is one Of the national problems.
The solution to our mind is the
cultivation Of the back garden

Neighbor Told Her
Cure for Lumbago

Rheumatism and lumbago are awful
things and cause great pain and mis-
cry, but Foley Kidney Pills can rout
them.
Mrs. G. H. Eveland, Duncan Mills.
ILL.,, writes the following letter: Il
was stricken down with lumbago and
was unable to turn myself in bed. A
neighbor brought me a half bottle OF
Foley Kidney Pills, and said she had
been similarly afflicted and that they
had helped her. So tried them and
was completely relieved by the use OF
two or three bottles. I have had
splendid success with them and have
never known them to fail. I most
heartily recommend Foley Kidney
Pills"
Foley Kidney Pills tone up weak,
inactive, sluggish kidneys, rid the
body of poisons, give appetite, energy
and refreshing sleep after pain. Don't
neglect kidney trouble. Remove the
cause with Foley Kidney PILLS.

MEETING OF THE GOVERNORS

Though the sugges ton that
Governor Harrington call meet
ing of Governors Of seaboard
States to consider ways and
means for protection in the event
Of war has been forestalled by a
similar meeting called for in
Philadelphia, it has served a
good purpose in showing the Gov
ernor that Maryland is keenly
interested in the formulation of
program of State activity in
preparation for eventualities.
Of course we must depend on
the National Government for
serious preparation. That is it's
business. But there is uneasi-
ness over the leisurely way in
which Washington is moving,
and the emphasis laid upon
this fact by representative busi-
ness men here and elsewhere
makes timely a gathering such as
that now to be held, at which the
views of Governors of Eastern
States may be canvassed and the
consensus of opinion had on
whether effort should be made
to persuade Washington to ac-
celerate it's pace.
Nor will it do harm to let Con-
gress have a demonstration of
how seriously the unprepared-
ness of the nation is viewed by
the chief executives of Eastern
States. The nation has been far
ahead both of the President and
of Congress in desire to be up
and doing. Expression of this
desire has been given in many
ways; and if the Governors do
no more than suggest methods
by which it can be made so en-
phatic that it cannot be lon GER
ignored, the meeting will be we'll
worth while. Baltimore News.

lot in the city and the employ
ment of every effort by those
who operate large eXpanses OF
land, to grow crops needed by
the people and to see that they
are properly marketed. Prices
at the present time are no doubt
exorbitant, but money being as
cheap as it is, brings this condl-
ton about. Certain foodstutfs,
such as potatoes, onions and cab
bage are bringing many times
their normal valuation and a
concentrated effort should be
made by those who have the
means at their disposal to bring
this proposition back to where it
ought to really be. Planting
your garden lot properly will
help to do this and a space 80 by
so will grow enough vegetables
to keep any family the year
round and still have enough to
spare for others. A little thought
and a little knowledge will give
much promise to intensive cultl-
walton and even though seeds
and plants have advanced very
much in price, because of present
conditions, there is no reason why
each person, who has the oppor-
tunity, should not do his bit to
help out in these trying times.
Besides the actual profit in hav-
ing a vegetable garden there is
a great source Of pleasure in cul-
tivating the same, and nothing
can equal the delicious flavor of
fresh picked vegetables or fruits.
These also are desirable where
the premises permit. The Gov
ernment furnishes many inter-
esting pamphlets on all these slb-
jects and they can be had at the
small expense of a postal card or
postage stamp. The Agricul-
tural Department of the Govern
ment is one of the best conduc-
ted organizations imaginable and
every farmer or person who is
interested in plants and flowers
or trees should take advantage of
their numberless opportunities
to help along the lines of either
pleasurable or profitable cult
vation.
