SOME GOOD ADVICE
Stronghold by Audubon EXperien,

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of backache,
headache, dizziness or urinary dis
orders. you should give the weaken
ed kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat. take things easier and
use "A reliable kidney tonic There's
no other kidney medicine so well
recommended as Doan's Kidney Pills
Audubon people rely on them.
Here's one of the many statements
from Audubon people.
Mrs. S. L. Mantz, Audubon. says;
Last spring | felt rheumatism COM
ing on and one day | had sudden
attack which struck me first in my
hips and loins. then went down in
my knees. The pain was so bad that
| couldn't walk, | had to give up
my work and when J tried to get
about, | needed support. 1t was
my kidneys that bothered me mostly
at that time. My knee joints became
swoolen and my back hurt me at
night. | was miserable in every way
Doan's Kidney Pills were recommend
ed to me and by the time | had
finished the first box, ! was on the
way to recovery / got another box
and they finally made a cure. All
pains left me and / could get about
easily"
Price soc at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

STILL HOPE TO SAVE
\ PART OF THE LINE

At the present rate the Atlantic
Southern railroad, at least the part
between Grant and Atlantic, will
soon be thing of the past and that
chapter in the railroad history of
Iowa brought to close. A force of
men is at work north of Grant and
has torn up nearly two miles of the
road. the rails be brought to Atlantic
and the ties temporarily piled along
the road bed on the right of way.
One of the Rock Island engines
has been pressed into service the
last {, uple of days and the work is
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
The rails will be stored in the AtI
lantic Southern yards in Atlantic
temporarily. There is considerable
talk of various efforts to keep the
part of the road between Grant and
Villisca intact with the hope that
some means may be found to operate
it. The people in that vicinity have
never given up hope that some day
they will have the road in operation
again but as yet no definite plan to
save IT from being junked has been
evolved

AS the time approaches for the hen
to become broody or sit. if care is
taken to look into the nest, il will
be seen that there are few soft,
downy feathers being left there by
the hen; also the hen stays longer on
the nest when laying at this time,
and on approaching will quite likely
remain on the nest. making a chuck
ing noise, ruffling her feathers. and
pecking at the intruder. When ii is
noted that a hen sits On the nest from
two to three nights in succession, and
that most of the feathers are gone
from her breast, which should feel
hot to the hand she is ready to be
transferred to nest which has been
prepared for her beforehand, accord
ing to the poultry specialists of the
L. S. Department of Agriculture.
The normal temperature of a hen is
from 100 to 107F.. which varies
slightly during incubation.
Dust the hen throughly with insect
powder, and in applying the powder,
hold the hen by the feet. the head
down, working the powder well into
the feathers, giving special attention
to regions around the vent and under
the wings. The powder should also
be sprinkled in the nest
The nest should be in some quiet
| out-of-the-way place. where the sit
| ting hen will not be disturbed.
Move her from the regular laying
nest at night and handle her care
| fully in doing so. Put a china egg
or two in the nest where she is TO sit
and place board over the opening so
that she can not get off. Toward
the evening of the second day quietly
go in where she is setting. leave
| some feed and water. remove the
board from the front or top of the
| nest. and let the hen come off when
she is ready. Should she return to
| the nest after feeding. remove the
china egg or eggs and put under
| those that are to be incubated. If the
nests are slightly darkened the hens
are less likely to become restless. At
Matching time they should be confin-
ed and not be disturbed until the
hatch is completed, unless they be-
| come restless. when it may be best
to remove the chicks that are Matched
first. In cool weather it is best not
to put more than 10 eggs under a
hen. while later in the spring one
can put IL to Is, according to the
size of the hen

Jane, corle with me TO the Baby
Club this afternoon" said Helen as
she stopped to chat with her friend,
oh | don't know. l never care
for clubs"
But this is different from just
the ordinary social club.
You learn so much. The lessons
are instructive but not dry. | par
ticularly want you to come today
because the lesson is The care of
The New Born" and no eXpectant
mother can afford to miss it,
What is the use of me knowing
anything about the care of my baby
the first few weeks. | expect to
have a nurse.
"Of course you will have a nurse
and a doctor but | found ii very
handy to know about things myself.
If your doctor is called out of town
or your nurse is i'll incompetent in
the care of babies then it comes
very handy to know how to direct
things yourself. | know of a nurse
that neglected a Daby's sore eyes
until the child's sight was nearly de-
stroyed and another that taught a
baby so many bad habits that it took
the mother a long time to overcome
them.
Teach a baby bad habits the first
| few weeks after il is born?" asked
Jane in establishment.
Yes Babies learn very quickly
and ii pays to have them learn good
ones. ] actually saw careless nurse
wash a new baby with soap.
How would you get baby clean
if you didn't wash it with soap,
| would like to know"
why. Jane Murray, Don't you
/ know that new babies should have
oil baths? The right way is to use
absorbent cotton and pat the oil
| gently all over them from head to
! foot. Then the baby should be
wrapped up in a soft oil cloth that
is very clean, then warm blanket
| over that and he should be laid in
dark room to rest and sleep"
Don't they dress the baby right
away"
mo. not for three days, usually
You see it is a pretty big change
! from hot house to the ordinary
! living conditions and new babies are
| tender as roseleaves. Besides what
sense is there in dressing a new baby
the first few days. No one sees any
thing of him except whehn his face
is occasionally uncovered for some
one to peak at. OF course he wears {
band to protect the navel. But you
had better come to the club meeting
and hear the rest.
You have said just enough tC
make me want TO near more so
will go with you. 1t never occurred
to me that | needed to be taught
these things. Mother always sale
that every girl would just natural!
know how to take care of her owl
baby when she ha0 one but perhaps
it is just as well TO have little
book knowledge too"
Remember
A good nurse for the mother and
new born babe are essential. Oil
baths are preferable to soap ant
water for the first three days.
Rest and quiet are essentiol fol
the new baby.

law prescribes that to be cream it
must contain 1e per cent. The JUS
