that the Seattle brood are not

for Mayor Gill TO go to American

time ask him what to do to make
the people of Seattle better.

Rhubarb leaves contain poi
son, according to the experts OF
the Department of Agriculture,
and should not be used as greens
for food. While not universally
poisonous, they contain sub
stances which when used as food
develop serious poisoning in
many persons. The Department
OF Agriculture has recently re-
ceived numerous letters calling
attention to the fact that certain
newspapers and magazines ad-
vocate the use of rhubarb leaves
for greens, and that disastrous
results have followed the advice.

Through the courtesy of our

were permitted to enjoy trip
along the West Side Tuesday
afternoon. We stopped a few
minutes at Mr.. Doyle's chicken
farm. There is some money in

ing in. Mr.. Doyle has about
1000 chickens now and is build
ing an incubator house and incu-
bators sufficient to hatch 1900

to accommodate 5000 chicks, all
to be heated with steam. We
also stopped at the homes of Mr..
Renouf and Mr.. Thomasen, both
places of interest to any visitor.
Mr.. Renouf has thirteen acres
and every building on the place
was made by himself. We were
interested in the way he trained
his vines and trees. He copied
the English system, placing them
along the walls of buildings and
fences. He has grapes large,
luscious Catawba grapes hang
ing from the ceiling of his con
servatory, grown from vines
planted on the outside and train
ed through the window sash to

Mr.. Thomasen has fifteen acres
and the well-kept place shows
what an Industrious, level-head-

farms was the system and neat
ness everywhere.

ESTIMATED WHEAT
REQUIREMENTS

In Department Of Agriculture Circu-
lar 70, which recommends the sowing
of 47,337,0 900 acres to winter wheat
and 5,191,00 0 acres to rye this fall, is
given the following statement regard
ing the estimated requirements of the
United States and the allied and neu-
trail countries for 1917-18:
To supply the estimated needs of
the United States, of the allies, and in
part of the neutral countries of Eu-
rope next year, it would be necessary
to plant in the United States for 1918
about 48.7 million acres of winter
wheat, 10 million acres of spring
wheat, Sc million acres of rye, 10
million acres of barley, 45.2 million
acres of oats, and Ills million acres
of corn. Compared with the 10-year
average, the proposed acreages rep
resent increases of AZ per cent for win
ter wheat, 5 per cent for spring wheat,
29 per cent for all wheat, 124 per cent
for rye, 7 per cent for barley, % per
cent oats, and 7 per cent corn, or a to-
tai increase Of % per cent over the
10-year average of these cereals COM
bined. Compared with 1917, these
aereages represent increases of %
per cent for winter wheat, 10 per cent
for all wheat, 81 per cent for rye and
5 per cent for oats, and decreases Of 6
per cent for barley and of 8 per cent
for corn, or a net increase of 40 per
cent over the total 1917 acreage Of
these cereal combined. With the food
requirements of the United States and
the allied and neutral countries of Eu-
rope for next year in mind, the ques-
ton of the acreage which it is advis-
able and practicable to plant demands
serious thought.

THIS is CERTAIN.
The Proof that Brownsville Readers
Cannot Deny.

What could furnish stronger evil
dence of the efficiency of any remedy
than the testimony of time? Thous-
ands of people testify that Doan's Kid
ney pills have brought lasting results.
Home endorsement should prove un-
doubtedly the merit of this remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the relief they had derived
from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
They now confirm their testimonials.
They say time has completed thetest.
DR.. A. Battle, dentist, Jefferson ST.,
Brownsville, says: about eight years
ago, / was troubled a gread deal by
weak kidneys. The kidney secretions
were too frequent and scanty in pas
sage and sometimes painful. Ny head
ached and sometimes | had sharp pains
if l stopped or lifted. Doan's Kidney
Pills made me well and | haven't been
bothered since. The entire credit for
my cure belongs to Doan's Kidney
Pills"
OVER THREE YEARS LATER, DR..
Battle said: "There is nothing equal
to Doan's Kidney Pills for the kidneys
The cure they made of me has lasted
I still have unlimited faith in this med
icine."

on our hands and we will have an ed.
ueative problem, which will probably
be enlightening 10 both sides before
we are through with IL. The Virgin
Islands present a problem all Of their
own. They are as unlike the Porto
Rieans MS day is from night. The
Porto Ricans are unlike the Santa
Domingans. and they in turn are un.
like the Mexicans. Yet all are a
problem in themselves. To protect
our interests and foreign interests we
are forced to intervene and as time
goes on we will be repeatedly called
upon to restore order.
The one best solution to these vexed
problems is the school house. Just as
ignorance is the safeguard to auto
cracy, so is the school house the safe
guard to democracy. This means
time. Too many years have already
been lost for the good of the people
of the American tropics. Had General
Scott planted school houses in Mexico
in lS49 we would nave less trouble to-
day.
Nor should we put the burden en-
tirely on our neighbors. 1t is the
duty of every high school in the
United States to teach Spanish. We
have enough of dead languages and
European languages--let us have
more Of the language of the Ameri-
cans-English for northern America
and Spanish for southern America.
The schools Of our country can do
more towards cementing the two
Americas than all the battlcships in
the navy. They can sweep away mis-
understanding, suspicion and foreign
intrigue and make the Monroe Doc
trine fact as well as name.
Now we are confronted with con-
slant menace and one which will have
to be settled some day. And when
that day comes, let it be known that
an army of 100000 men can be raised
in Porto Rico, alone, and they will be
tropic seasoned and good fighters. The
standing army in Porto Rico is some
thing like five regiments and when the
time comes, watch for them in France
and see whether they can fight or not.
No better drilled unit in all the
United States army can be found than
the Porto Rican troopers.
