Every acre must work. The farmer

There is a necessity for the greatest

mined and summarized seas, but In
carrying out on the peaceful fields
of agriculture, the plans so urgently
requested by those at the head of
the departments of resources. The
recent reports by the Government
show a great falling of in the amount
of grain that may be expected from the
crop as of recent date, being only a
little over 60 Der cent. 16 per cent
less than the average. Every patriotic

Old Looks !?
(BY DR.. L.. II. sM1TH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head in early years Is, indeed, often a
sign Of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as 1t is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of %backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat.

Rats and Fires.

At a time when everyone is COM
planning Of the high cost of living it
might be well to see if we cannot elm
mate two great sources Of waste-fres
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago a study of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion that the rodents of that
city ate more than a million dollars
worth of food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than 100000 1000 per year
to the whole country. This is a pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
fonShip of impish pests which, besides
.theifs other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded Of
all diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
