Edqe's Yankee Doodle
Proclamation May
Bring Volunteers

Trenton, May 8 Governor Edge
to-day is holding conference here
with sheriffs, county clerks and may
ors to work out final details for reg
istering Jersey citizens for the selec-
tive draft.
Immediately after the conference
Governor Edge will begin work or
plans for yankee Doodle" procla-
nation, to set aside a day for New
Jersey men, women and children t.
pay tribute to the men who are to be
called to the colors under the equal
service system.
While supporting the Roosevelt
plan, Governor Edge told once more
of the offer of A. B. Leach, of South
Orange, to organize, uniform and
equip complete battalion at cost
of 100000 as tribute of patriot
ism. The governor explained again
that he had to notify Mr.. Leach that
under existing circumstances he had
no authority to take advantage of the
offer.
The lack of this authority, Cover
nor Edge said, he felt keenly. Volun.
teer units, the governor said, should
be used, and he added that he will
confer with Colonel Roosevelt regard
ing Jersey unit in his force.
~ believe in CONSUMPTION, said
Governor Edge, "but I believe also
that the President should be given
authority to accept volunteer units
organized and equipped at private ex-
pense by patriotic citizens. That's
why think Colonel Roosevelt should
be allowed to take his division to
France and that we should continue
to send armies across the ocean until
the fight is fought to finish"

EVERY FORM OF COOPERATION.

Trenton, May 8.-Getting a full
report to-day of the results attend
ing the organized effort in New Jer-
sey to increase the farm output, Gov
ernor Edge was informed that 3d.
600 school children have cultivated
and planted 'home gardens" 5000
able-bodied male students of the pub

farm service, and 700 factory en-
ployes are registered as available for
work in assisting the farmers.
Detailed reports from Adjutant
General Barber, Assistant Commits

enthusiastic way in which New Jer-

to increase the Governors satisfac-

Enlistment of Jerseys school boys

We are actually starting at the root

Governor Edge said that he could
not urge too strongly upon the prin-

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip.
ton, Overc0mes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as.
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
