TO the CITIZENS OF LOUISIANA:

Dear Friends.
For prompt, patriotic prepared
ness: poultry, pigs, potatoes, peas,
pumpkins and peanuts.
We appeal to you 10 give special at
tention to more poultry. If every :
one will set only one more hen and
raise ten additional chickens, it will
mean considerable in meat and eggs.
Ii can be done.
If everyone will raise just one or
two more pigs, it will mean consid-
cradle meat increase.
If everyone will only increase the
potato acreage by one or two acres, it
will surely help.
If possible plant Porto Rico, Dooley
or Nancy Hail sweet potatoe Il don't
cost any more to grow good yams than
it does to grow inferior varieties.
Everyone should plant at least one
acre of black eye, crowder or whip
poor will peas. They are fine when
green and can be gathered aud dried
for winter use.
Pumpkins can be planted in any old
place; fence corners, vacant lots, etc.
Pumpkins are good not only for pies,
but the dried pumpkins make splen
did meal. Fifty per cent pumpkin
meal and fifty per cent corn meal
make excellent corn bread. In fact it
is lighter than bread made of all corn
meal, and really better than all corn
meal bread.
Peanuts are fine crop for human
consumption, poultry and pigs.
Everybody get busy, and remember
the eight "p's"-p patriotism, prepared
ness, poultry, pigs, potatoes, peas,
pumpkins and peanuts
Yours truly,
HARRY ID. WILSON, Chairman
State Food Preparedness Commission.

he has not generally been justly re-

Many bad cases of kidney trouble
result from a cold or chill. Congest-
ed kidneys fall behind in filtering the
poison-laden blood, and backache,
headache, dizziness and disordered
kidney action follow. Don't neglect
a cold. Use Doan's Kidney Pills at
the first sign of kidney trouble. Here
is an experience told by a resident of
this locality:
Gilbert Bergevin, Carson City, New,
says: Some years ago / was laid up
by an attack of kidney trouble,
rought on by a severe cold which
settled in my kidneys. / had such
severe pains through the small of
my back that l couldn't stoop.

RAILROAD SUITS START
AT LOyELOCK In 1917

Beginning in January and continu-
ing IN February and March of 1917. a
series of suits against the Southern
racine company, TO recover land on
which, it is alleged. mineral harac-
ter can be proved, viii begin in Love-
lock, according to announcement
made this week.
The exact dates for the suits have
not yet been announced.
These suits Will be to wrest claims
on eleven sections II land claimed
by the railroads under the old every
other section grant made when the
roads first built their lines through
the West.
Among those whose claims are To-
Gated on railroad property and who
are bringing suit are: Cryan brothers,
ii. ii. Hunter Sr., II. H. Hunter Jr.,
Jess Connell, William Chalmers. Geo.
Bedford, Thomas Sutton and A. Luce.
In each Of the cases the question
involved is the mineral character Of
the land, which the railroad, in each
case, viii deny to protect their right
70 the properly.
Much interest centers in these suits,
as prospectors and miners have spent
large sums in developing and work
ing on the claims on the land.
In Humboldt county there are ap-
proximately a million and a half
acres claimed by the railroad under
the old grant. Only a small part of
the land has been taken from them
under the provision which cancels
their right to any land on which min
erals of value are found in sufficient
quantities to make a mine.

the results of election. Senator Sauls-

in a claim to be made president pro

work which he did during the cam
