We gave the kaiser and his Prussian

To accomplish this there is nothing new

at least once week Thoro pcrspiration

Take regularly no alcohol IN any form.
There Is mo use in opening this subject

chasing a pleasant glow at the expense
of inviting q hundred disorders
BE out of doors as much a. YOU can.
Fresh air, sunshine, and water are MT

Exercise Systematically Modern life

y1aHf You1 DANDELIoNs
They Are Fond ef Wssd, and with
Portabls Yard. Will Help Keep
Your Lawn YFes of Pest

Most persons who have raised
poultry in confinement are familiar
with the fact that chickens, ducks,
and geese are fond of dandeliOn
tops and will eat them in prefer
ence to grass. In one case under
the writer's observation area of sew
en- or eight square rods is used dur
ing early spring rs . pasture for
thirty or forty young chickens. The
grass is cut only . few times dur
ing the season. merely enough to
keep it from going to seed. No dan
deliOns are to be found on this area
altho no effort is made to destroy
them. The chickens keep them and
the white clover eaten down as fast
as they appear but do not seem to
molest the grass to any extent.
About the first of June the chick
ems are taken on from this yard
and during the remainder of the
season It forms q part of the lawn
with an exceptionally dense sod of
pure bluegrass.
This suggests the feasibility of
employing q light portable yard
which could be moved about over
the lawn during April and May.
This would permit utilizing the
dandelions SO prevalent in many
door yards as forage for young
chickens, ducklings or goslings and
would at the same time clear the
lawn OF this unsightly weed.
/, In order to make this plan sue
cessful there should be only enough
chickens confined on the area to
eat the dandelions without destroy
ing much Of the grass. Otherwise
it would be necessary to move the
yard quite frequently.
During the remainder of the sea-
son the lawn should have regular
care in the matter Of watering and
moving. In this way side or back
yards, which are often allowed to
become badly infested with dande-
lions, could be made a source of
revenue and be improved in appear
ance for the summer months. B. o.

WHATS THE REASON?
Many Holly People In Poor Health
without Knowing the Cause

There are scores Of people who
drag out q miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are
racked with bsckache and head
ache; suffer from nervousness, diz-
ziness, weakness, languor and de
preston. Perhaps the kidneys have
fallen behind in their work of fl
tering the blood and that may be
the root of the trouble. Look to
your Kidneys assist them in their
work-give them the help they
need. You can use no more highly
recommended remedy than Doans
Kidney Pills.
Below is grateful testimony from
q sufferer in LaJunta.
"A. r. Donaldson, 9O2 Smithland
Ave-, LaJunta, Colo, says: II had
kidney and bladder complaint and
suffered greatly until I learned of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Their use
stopped the backache and strength
ened my kidneys. I cannot say too
much in praise of Doan's Kidney
Pills for they have been worth q
great deal to me. recommend
them whenever l hear anyone COM

PROVE u0H MILEAGE
Average Ailsags Per Gallon Shows
y franklin Car Gets 4S1e Miles In
Moro than Twenty Cities

A tabulati0n of early reports from
63 dealers throughout the United
States, who participated in the
Franklin Gasoline Economy test
last week. shows an exceptionally
high average mileage for the cars
equipped with Silvertown Cord
tires.
AS matter of fact, these Frank
lin-SilvertOwn records ranged from
3O3 miles up to 69.4 miles per gal
lon. and represent conditions af-
forded by every kind of road in
both good and bad weather
throughout the country.
These figures are more significant
at this time than at any other since
general wave of economy is sweep
ing the country and particularly
so as no special preparations were
made for the test which is an an
nual one.
In their reports, q great many
dealers made note of certain condi-
tiOns or ObstructiOns which pre-
vented them from making even
greater mileage. One driver reported
that the curiosity of Holstein COW
caused 1t to stop in the middle of
the road to obcerve the test and
thereby cause him to bring his car
to stop. 1t has been granted that
this fact did reduce his mileage to
no small extent as the gas con-
sumed in starting a car and going
through the various gears, would
in reality drive the car on high gear
over level roads for a considerable
distance.
While this Franklin test, in a
great many instances, proved the
coasting advantages of Silvertown
Cord tires, it was even a greater test
power of gasoline saving, for in the
larger number of cities from which
these records were taken, there are
comparatively few grades which
will permit coasting. On the other
hand the majority Of the distances
were direct pulls requiring the ap-
plication of motor power.
The record of 69.4 miles was made
with Silvertown tires only on the
rear wheels but since this is the

Local coal dealers this week re-
ceived the following letter from
The American Railway AssOcia-
tiOn's Special Committee on Nation
al Defense, and is printed here at
the request of the local dealers that
you may acquaint yourself with the
exact coal situation;
Denver, Colorado, July IL, 1917.
TO THE PUBLIC:
The Threatened coal shortage, ma
tiOnal and local, is q matter of acute
concern to all. The consumers must
depend for their supply, first, on
the mines, and, second, on the rail
roads, the latter to furnish neces-
sary cars and service to transport
coal from the mines to points of
consumption.
The Denver subcommittee of the
American Railway Association on
National Defense, looking ahead to
the protection of the interest of the
public in this most vital matter,
earnestly sOlicits the cooperation
of the consuming public by asking
that all interested promptly place
their orders for necessary supply of
coal to carry them through the fall
and winter months.
1 The important fact should not be
overlooked that even with present
car shortage conditions, the rail-
roads are in much better position
to furnish necessary cars and pro-
vide reasonably prompt transpor-
tation service than they will = be,
even at the commencement of the
fall months or later.
The railroads believe that the
large movement of troops drafted
into the Army under the recent con-
scriptiOn act, together with the
movement of necessary supplies for
their maintenance, and the abnor-
NAL crop movements, all added to
the large volume of commercial traf-
fic handled by the transportation
lines of the coutry. will create a con-
dition of congestion which will tax
the facilities of the railroads to
their utmost limit, adding to the
uncertainty of the ability of the
railroads to protect and transport
coal shipments promptly during
the heavy coal consuming season.
4 The public should also remember
that the business of the Govern
ment must take precedence over all
other traffic, and if the Government
should command from the Colo
RADIO lines any considerable proper.
tion of their coal cars for it's own
use in the transportation of Coy
ernment coal, which is not only pos
sible but probable, then such neces-
sity, on the part of the Government
would make it practically impossi-
BILE for the railroads to properly
protect the movement of coal sup
ply during the fall and winter
months, or at least place on their
operations limitations which would
make it possible to transport
enough coal to guard against act
ual want and suffering.
This is the peoples problem, and
this letter is for the purpose of as
suring the public of the desire OF
the railroads to cooperate in the
way suggested, in order that the
necessities of all may be met and
actual want avoided.
