GO NO FARTHER,
The Evidence Is At Your Door.

Dickinson proof is what you want
and the statement of this highly re-
spected resident will Danish all doubt:
Fred M. Thompson, 27 w. First st.,
Dickinson, says: II was in a bad way
with my back for number of years.
Excruciating pains caught me when
ever attempted to stand erect after
sitting for time. There was a dis
agreeable stiffness in the back of my
neck and a dull, miserable feeling in
it nearly all the time. I also had a
dull ache through my kidneys. Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Welton Nc
Donald & Co.'s drug store, gave me
prompt relief and eventually cured
the attack"
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr..
Thompson said: "I still think well
of Doan's Kidney Pills and recommend
them as highly as ever. I have used
them occasionally since they cured me
and they have always acted WELL"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Mr.. Thompson has twice publicly
recommended. Foster-Milburn Co.,

RAILROADS FEAR CAR
SHORTAGE THIS FALL

The railroads are issuing warnings
to all shippers of freight, particularly
the farmers, that there is liable to be
a serious shortage Of cars this fall, on
account of the large amount Of gov
ernment shipping they will be re-
quired to do. The government freight
will have to be attended to first. AS
there nearly always is a shortage of
cars when the crops are being market
ed in the fall, this will make q seri-.5
Gus situation. Elevators and ware
houses cannot accomm odate the crops
at any time, and now the. only way
for farmers to guard against loss IS
to furnish storage room on their own
farms for their crops .5.. U.

Swimming With a Cold.

In an address before the leading ear,
nose and throat specie lists OF the cOun-
try DR.. Hill Hastings OF Los Angeles
recently called attention to the danger
OF a persons swimming, and particu-
larly diving, when he has a cold in the
head. Comparatively few persons rea-
lie that 1t IL dangerous, and many
@ believe that when they have re-
covered from 4 cold and are still an
noyed by excessive thick secretlons in
the nose they can find relief by diving
or plunging the head under water. The
%purulent matter washed u Is not only
a danger to others, says DR. Hastings,
but the diver himself runs a risk or
forcing some OF the pus into his middle
ear. Most specialists have observed
hat cases OF mastOid abscess are com
mon every summer during h swim
ming season. At the large ear. nose
and throat hospitals it is recognized
hat the swimming season invariably
brings on "a crop Of mastotds." The
advice to keep out OF the water until a
head cold is entirely cleared up can
Dot be too strongly emphasized.

these hogs are, and can get them be.
fore they are sent to market. If there
is no county agent, the next man to
appeal to is the banker. Many bank
ers know who have hogs to sell. If
the county is short of hogs, the State
club leader or the extension force at
the agricultural college may be able
to direct an inquirer to a breeder or
a county agent in an adjacent county
who has hogs to sell.
Grain n other swine feeds are
scarce and expensive, but hogs can be
grown and fattened with the use of
little grain. The most profitable pork
has always been produced when the
hogs run on pasture and are fed q
little ration of grain in addition. In
every section of the country there are
forage crops that will grow and make
good hog pastures. BY planting them
now they should make good hog pas.
ture during the summer. Even II
there is no county agent in a county,
there are a few progressive farmers
in every community who know what
crops are best and how best to plant
them. Boys who have no hogs should
plant their hog pasture first, and get
their pigs later.
Boys who have no pigs nor money
with which to buy them should ask a
banker for help. He will usually be
glad to help worthy boys who are try
ing to help the country in this emerg-
ency. Many of these bankers have
asked the Department of Agriculture
this year as to the best methods that
have been used in furnishing boys
money with which to purchase pigs.
They are much more willing to do this
If they know that the boy or girl be-
longs to a pig club and is going to fol-
low the instructions Of a swine spec
ialist or some one who has scientific
training in the growing and f~attening
of swine.
By joining the pig club the boys and
gills will not only be able to make
more money for themselves, but will
also be rendering a patriotic service
to the country. Every boy or girl be-
tween the ages Of 10 and Is years can
join the pig clubs, should ask their
parents, teacher, or county agent how
to do this, or write to the extension
division of the State agricultural col
lege for instructions.

BOYS AND GIRLS HELP

The boys and girls on the farms and
in the towns and villages can be of
great service to Uncle Sam by produc-
ing pork. The young people between
10 and Is years of age are eligible to
the pig clubs and a great many of
them are not at present doing any
thing for their country. If every boy
and girl on the farm between the
aforementioned ages would make It
his or her duty to feed and market
n pig, there would be enough pork
furnished from this source alone to
feed a large army Of men. A large
number of boys have the facilities for
feeding several hogs where none are
being fed at present. Some of the
pig-club boys are feeding as many as
35 or 40 head of their own and many
are feeding their fathers herds of
many more than that.
Most of the boys that are not in the
pig club do not have the pigs and do
not know where to obtain them. There
are thousands of small pigs and
breeding sows being sent to market
every day that should stay on the
farms. Many of the sows should be
kept to produce more pigs next fall.
These small pigs could be probably
fed to make larger hogs even at the
present prices of grains. The problem
is to get these small pigs and sows
into the hands of farmers and farm
boys and girls that want them. There
are county agricultural agents in
many of the counties who know where

APPEAL TO HOUSEWIVES

me Secretary of Agriculture makes
the following appeal to the women of
the United States.
Every housewife this year should re.
store 10 her home the often overlook
ed home industries of canning. pre-
serving, picking. and drying of per-
lshable fruits or vegetables. The large
number of new backyard gardens
which have been planted this year
shortly will begin to yield their extra
harvest OF beans, peas. carrots, sweet
corn, and tomatoes. The regular sup
plies also will reach the markets and,
as happens each summer, the local sup
ply at times will exceed immediate
consumptive capacity. Not to con
serve much of this surplusage Of val
liable food would be sinful waste.
The present food and labor situa-
tons are such that no household is
justified in looking to others to re-
lease it wholly from individual respon-
sibility and constructive action in saw.
ing and conserving food. All any
home should expect Of others is to
supply those foods which can not be
produced effectively by its own mem.
bers. The railroads will be burdened
with the transportation of staple foods
and civil and military necessaries
from localities of production and
manufacture to districts incapable of
supplying their own needs. 1t follows
that all locally produced foods, con-
served by home methods, lessen the
winter pressure on transportation
agencies and also release similar pro-
ducts of factories for other purposes.
| urge every household, therefore, to
can all surplus perishable products
for which they have containers and 10
dry and keep in paper any additional
surplus suitable for such preservation.
Canning calls for 10 special skill
and for little equipment beyond a wash
boiler and jars. Fresh products,
cleanliness. and heat are the chief re-
quirements, as even sugar is not es-
for canning fruits under mod
ern procedure. Fruits and vegetables,
moreover, can be dried efficiently in
the sun over a range or gas stove, or
hafDrh an n1ortriD fan ITDnnmD1n
shallow trays OF wood or heavy wire
screen are the chief equipment re-
quired. Drying is a time-tried home
industry; conservation of food by dry
ing is largely a matter of restoring
to the home great-grandmother's meth
Cd of seeing that her family had good
food in winter as a relief from a
monotonous diet of root vegetables.
and drying can be practiced
as effectively in a city house or apart
mont as on a farm or in a suburban
dwelling.
Canning, of course, already is A
profitable industry for women and
children in thousands of homes and
rust will become almost universal
his season. To aid the home conser-
yation movement, the Department of
agriculture has issued a new Farmers
Bulletin on home canning and another

C impulse into concrete service.

DUTY OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Only by degrees did the Americans
of German descent perceive that the
German government and the German
people were to be distinguished from
each other, Some had said it timidly.
but the world did not heed their re-
marks until President Wilson so clo-
quently stated the same idea. With a
deep insight the President had ex-
pressed the issue which Germans
should have emphasized long before.
At last the situation appeared in it
true light. There was a great Ger
many before the war, peacefully lead
ing the world in many fields of human
~endeavor, an honest. industrious peo-
pie who loved peace and had toiled
long and earnestly to make their land
produce the meager necessities Of
their simple life. But back of it all
was a pernicious, insidious group of
men, a remnant of the earth's dark
ages, who sought only to utilize the
attainments of the German people to
further their selfish interests. The
German people trusted their govern.
ment and without any feeling of hui
mar sympathy or remorse the German
government offered up its people as a
sacrifice to gain its ends.
Americans OF German descent will
welcome the day when Germany is
free. The work which the fathers OF
'48 so longed to fulfill, it is now our
privilege to accomplish. We must let
them know that every man Of German
blood in America is ready to give his
life to free them from the German gov
eminent. We must convince them we
do this of our free will because we
know we are doing right. We bring
liberty. How can the German people
distrust the motives of Americans, es-
p~ecially those of German descent?
They will believe us if we state our
ideas emphatically. Our unity will
hasten the day when the German PEG.
pie will feel strong enough to strike
off their chains and end this disastrous
war.
To carry out the ideas of democracy
we bring no desire of conquest, only
the beacon light of a greater human
ity. AS a free people we shall never
fight to crush a nation or to enslave
it. The German people must be con-
WINGED of this and they will be IL ev-
cry American of German descent
stands unreservedly for the destruct-
ion of the German government and the
principles of the message OF Woodrow
Wilson to the Congress of the United
States. Let us proclaim our devotion
and u ideals that every hamlet and
every home in Germany may hear. The
influence of u great country will
lead the Allies to espouse more fully
the of democracy and a nobler
peace. In 1776 America brought forth
a nation endowed with liberty and
c~onsecrated to justice; but she
will bring forth a world. 1t Is our
privilege to share in so sacred a task.

the New Republic.
