1 rail of Good runs
Leads to Gamers

In its hunt for food spectators
responsible to a large extent for
the alleged shortage and high
prices, the Federal Trade Com
mission, on December 18th, re-
ceived evidence pointing to GER
tain Gamers.
In the course of the commits
sion's hunt for these food Huns"
said Commissioner Murdock, in
charge OF the investigation, I'VE
are discovering that certain can
ners Of this country are turning
into lot of unadulterated blood
suckers on the public. These
Gamers are not living up to their
contracts with the wholesalers
and jobbers and they are seizing
upon the present situation to
soak the trade.
Where they have contracted
to furnish wholesaler or jobber
acertain amount of canned goods,
they are furnishing only a per-
centage of the amount and telling
the trade that the remainder has
had to be turned over for govern
ment use. However, they have
bungled in overlooking or forget
ting the fact that the Federal
Trade Commission has on file
copies of all contracts they made
with the wholesalers last spring.
Evidence has come to me that
canned goods are being stored
with some of the meat packers
who are not in the canned goods
business, and that these goods
are being boarded. These prac-
tices on the part of some of the
Gamers are absolutely unjustifi-
able. | am going into this situa-
ton to the finish, and every cam
ner caught with goods will have
to deal with me. The country
does not want professions of pa
triotism, but actions of patrio-
tism."

The Secret of Sue
cessful Bakings

Many women entertain the
idea that they can never become
thoroughly good cooks. They
may be perfectly able to prepare
meats and vegetables properly.
Still they make miserable fail
ure of bakings. When one gives
the matter serious consideration
it becomes evident that the fault
rests more in faulty Baking Pow
der than careless or haphazard
baking methods. This must be
true. For it is a well known
fact that housewives who employ
Calumet Baking Powder are
highly successful. They do not
know the meaning of bake day
failure. Even girls who never
before attempted to bake a cake
"a batch of doughnuts = biscuits
or cookies employ Calumet and
turn out bakings that rival those
of experienced cooks. This abso-
lutte dependability of Calumet
the unfailing leavening force
that makes all women good bak-
ers of biscuits and pastries has
made Calumet the greatest seller
of all Baking Powders-more
pounds being sold than of any
other brand.
Cheap baking powders and high
cost baking powders of low quail
ity have proved to millions of
housewives that no matter how
good the recipe-how great the
care in preparing and mixing
baking ingredients results are
uncertain unless sure baking
powder is employed. Consequent
ly these millions demand and use
Calumet-because of its every
bake day dependability.

DEMANDFOR RANGES
In the National Forests to
Craze Livestock Is In
creasing

A continued increase in the
demand for permits to Craze
livestock on the national forests,
and the necessity of a maximum
meat production on the forest
ranges are emphasized by Acting
Forester A. F. Potter in the an
nual report of the Forest Service,
just published.
The winter season of 1867
was the most disasterous the
range stockmen of the West have
known, Mr.. Potter states. There
have been years when local losses
have been heavier, but never be-
fore were the losses so general.
The severe winter and the scare
ity of hay, which was hard to
get at any price. were the chief
causes. The lamb crop for the
entire West was probably 15 to
20 per cent below the average.
while the calf crop was consid-
erably below normal. Because
of the shortage to several hun
'dred thousand sheep and cattle
of feed on the range, the nation
al forests were opened in ad-
vance of the regular season.
The number of cattle on the
forests the past season was near
ly 200, 900 greater than in 1916,
and the number of sheep more
than 200, 900 greater. This in
crease, it is stated, was due to
efforts made to increase produc-
tion of livestock to meet the
emergency food needs of the |
country. About l, 100000 acres
were examined by the grazing
experts of the Service during the
year. The information gained
will. the report says, aid in rails
ing the number of livestock on
the ranges to the maximum,
without excessive damage.
A study of the methods of !
herding goats has resulted in an
improvement in the handling of
these animals on the range. On |
the tornado range reserve a calf |
crop. fully 10 per cent above the |
average, was saved from a breed
ing herd held on a fenced range
under improved methods and |
given a small amount of supple
mental feed. From another herd,
fed an average of so pounds of |
cottonseed cake per head and
given still better care, the calf |
crop exceeded the average by |
more than 20 per cent.
On some of the Utah, Montana
and California forests tests were I
made which further demonstra-
ted the advantages of the bed
ding out" system of handling
sheep over the old method of
close herding with dogs. Ad-
vance was made in the methods
of sailing cattle and showing the
value of well distributed waite
ing places. On a number of TO
ests demonstration tests we e
made of eradication of the pois-
onous tall larkspur. In every
case, the report states, the losses
from poisoning were reduced to
an extent which more than justi-
fled the cost. Minor investiga-
tions were also started to work
out methods of getting rid of
other poisonous plants.

.lI|jIT MEAT If YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful Of Salts if Daek
hurts or Bladder Eothers-Dzi1k
lots Of water.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says
welI-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
Jumps of lead, and you have singing
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full Of sediment, or the bladder is irri-
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepIess-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it Is
no longer source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody can make
mistake by taking little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active.

With the young manhood Of the

death, it is crime to prey upon

without an hour s delay. 1t should
jail every one of them.
