fast ii Your Back Hurts or
Bladder is Troubling You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well known authority Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches. liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness. sleeplessness
and urinary disorders come from slug
gish kidney.
The moment wou feel dull ache in
the kidney or your back hurts, or il
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast, and in few days
your kidneys will act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate the kid
neys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lathia-water drink which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications,

in spots. Then let's look for these
spots, and try to find him about as
soon as he finds the cotton. Keep up
with it week and we need not fear but
that we can grow cotton. Do not
spend your money for traps and
poisons until these have the stamp
OF approval of those who are not in
terested in these devices. Much money
has been spent to no avail in other
sections for these things. Let's be a
little wiser here. Picking weeyils and
squares will grow cotton, provided
the cultivation is kept up regularly.
Begin to cultivate early. Use the
weeder and harrow when the plants
are small. Chop to stand, not giving
too much space in row. Try to have
a stalk right where stalk should be
all along the row. Cultivation then
once a week or every ten days and
soon after rains as possible. Keep
tie plants growing from the start and
push it to maturity as rapidly as can
me. IF all the fertilizer was not mixed
with the soil before or at planting, as
it should have been, then put the
rest of it down as soon as possible. If
top dressing is going to be used
do not wait as late as usual to put this
there. We must get our crop from the
bottom and middle of the stalk, and
must have this on the stalk by the
1rst of August. The top crop we will
have to consign to the weevil. Let's
make the crop as large as possible at
The bottom and middle of the stalk.
But now listen, do not fail to grow
more feed and food stuffs than ever
efore.

erations.
The home gardening movement was
given tremendous momentum by the
outbreak of the war. The Civic and
Commercial Association of Denver, is
urging a movement whereby employees
will agree to pay full wages to en-
ployees, but allow them one working
day off each week, provided they work
their gardens on that day. Under
the auspices of the Denver Mothers
congress, $4,000 packages Of seeds are
being distributed without cost to the
school children.
Mrs. Cecilia Ward Shea, prominent
civic worker, has inaugurated pro-
ject advocating that the state itself
turn farmer, and lease or rent approx
i1nately 100000 acres of tillabls
land in the state which has never been
cultivated, sub-letting this to families
who would come into the state, she
believes, if they were assured of ground
to farm, at a low rental.

OLIVER URGES THAT
GREAT EFFORTS BE
MADE ON PLANTING

Certainly no efforts should be spar
ed in producing all the food and feed
stuffs this year that can possibly be
grown. Every vacant lot as well as
every idle acre should be brought in
to yield it's best. The need is more ur-
gent than most people seem to appre-
ciate. The figures that have been and
are being given out to show our short
age are not simply idle words, but
should mean something to every one.
More producers are needed both for
this section and the national good.
What more patriotic could be done
tltan to permit the young as well as
the old to join the volunteer army Of
producers. Encourage the boys and
girls in their club work to make the
most possible.
Let there must be some cotton grown
as well as more food 1t is not need
ed that a twenty million bale crop
shall be produced not by any means,
but even cotton is needed to make war
munitions as we'll as for clothing.
Since this is true and also that it is
beginning now to be about time for
that menace to the cotton crop, the boil
weeyil to make signs of his spring ap-
pearance in this section, It, behooves
those growing cotton to begin to look
closely for feeding signs. Already the
weevils have shown up in Thomas,
Brooks and other lower border coun-
ties. No doubt, as the wintering places
warm up more in this section, the wee
wills will begin to emerge from their
winter sleep and look around Tor the
nearest cotton fields.
Keep a close watch on that part of
the fields where the weevils have most
likely spent the winter. Along
hedge rows that were not cleaned UP.
Near houses, long swamp heads and
bitches that you did not pillow up.
The weevils first attack the little
tender bud of the plant, provided there
are no squares. He sucks the juices
from the bud and soon this bud dies
and become black. This is the way to
locate the weevil when they first APP
pear, if they come out before the
squares form. Look for the dead bud;
it can easily be seen. When this ia
found look closely for the weevil for
no doubt he is either on that plant or
right near by, since he is sluggish,
and does not go further than he has
morning or late afternoon they will be
feeding on top of the plant, and the
grayish brown color of the weevil con-
trasted with the green leaf will help
to locate him many times before you
reach him, provided one looks closely.
Now the old weevils are not so hard
to fight provided one keeps up with
them each week, but carelessness
and indifference to the looking for the
old ones and two or three generations
of young ones are produced then 1t is
much more difficult.
There may De found just a few
in the field for several weeks, yet. but
one should locate them as soon as
possible after they make their APP
pearance or considerable damage may
be done, after the squares form, be-
fore one is aware the weeyils are

over the fields at once, but viii be
