Reports from both sides In the

which they have been falling back
while fighting strong rear-guard
actions.
Berlin today announces that
troops Of the Ninth army under

the fortified line which the Rus

which follows in a general way the
course of the Sereth. Ending at
the Danube between Braila and
Galata, this line extends north
westward thru Moldavia in the
direction of the Moldavian western
frontier
1t is here, according TO present
indications. that the Russians
count on bringing Won Mackensen's
advance to a halt. Failing in this
purpose they would expose their q
front from Galicia south to a pos
sible crumblins process and i'm
peril Bessarabia to invasion.
Apparently the TeutoniC effort
to break this line is to be strong

Drink MORE WATER
IF KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take Salts for Back
ache or Bladder trouble
Neutralizes acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
at first you feel dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from ,backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys will
then 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 clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe IN overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

BEFORE lBREAKFAST
Says you,reaIIy. feel clean; sweet

j are seldom i'll.

If your are accustomed to wake up
with coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull. dizzy headache; or, if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have 2 real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass of hot
water with a Ateaspoonful of limestone
phosphate init This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out OF
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get a quarter pound OF lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning IN
side-bath 1t is said that men and
women who try this become entnu-
siastic and keep it up daily. 1t is q
splendid health measure for it is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impure
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle Of bathing inside IS
not new as.millions of people practice
it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, SO hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.

FOOD TO WIN THE WAR

Food, food, more food! is the cry
of the nation and state A warning
world must be fed, and abundance
or lack of food may spell victory
Or defeat. But why increase the
average of the state and raise more
| food and then by our carelessness
permit it to be destroyed by fire in
stack, barn, elevator, mill, store or
warehouse?
The man who raises more food
performs a patriotic duty; the man
who protects and saves food products
renders an equally important SER
vice to his countrys
In Wisconsin, during the year
1916, fires in grain and hay stacks,
barns, granaries, cheese factories,
creameries, elevators, flour mills,
malt houses, wholesale houses, ware
houses and stores caused. a loss of
| So, 777,520. Approximately two-thirds
Of this loss was on food products.
1t is needless to state, that the
insurance paid did not replace a
single pound of the food products de-
stroyed. This destruction decreased
the supply and so we paid more for
flour, feed, grain and other food
products. In addition to this we
REACHED into our pockets, and,
through insurance premiums, REIN
bursed those who had fires. Thus
the people of the state paid dearly
| for these fires.
For the first time in the history
Of this country every pound of food
may be needed to prevent hunger
and perhaps starvation for some,
hence the increased necessity of con-
serving every bushel of grain in it's
course from the field to the table,
every pound of cheese and butter,
every dozen of eggs, every ounce OF
food for man or beast.
Most of the 1921 fires which
| caused this great loss could have
been prevented by ordinary care
Let us squarely face the fact, that
We cannot now afford to destroy
food at this rate. Food products are
scarce, the demand keen and in
creasing, and prices soaring, and
food destroyed by fire only increases
the shortage and prices.
Mr.. Farmer, is your barn and
granary free from fire dangers? MI.
Miller, is your mill and elevator
clean and well protected against
fire? Mr.. Merchant, are you toler-
ating in your store or warehouse
conditions, which are liable to cause
fires? Mr. Fire Chief, have you
carefully inspected all places where
food products are stored, and made
sure, that all fire hazards were re-
moved?
All who produce, store, sell or
transport food should carefully. in
telligently and frequently inspect all
places of storage, and should prompt
ly correct all hazardous conditions.
If you want to know how to
make your place safe, write us for
help and information. We can and
will help you. This will be our con-
tribution to the country in need and
to you {

Considerable complaint has been
made in the past on account Of the OBJ.
noxious character of the boards of
barley during harvesting and subse-
quent handling. This objection has
been largely removed since the intro
duction of the binder, self feeder at
tachments to threshing machines and
self straw stackers. There is little
danger in using the straw for feeding
or bedding for stock.

KILL TIE WEEDS.
irrational crop improvement Service

National Crop Improvement Sefvice.l
Spring plowing, or disking, as soon
as the weed seeds have terminated, is
usually profitable practice. Where
small grain is to be sown, the sowing
should be done soon after blowing;
but where corn, potatoes, or the
sorghums are to be grown, there is
often a period of several weeks be-
tween the time of the termination of
the weed seeds and the time when the
season is sufficiently advanced to
plant the crop. This period should be
utilized as far as possible for the de-
scruction of weeds before the crop is
planted Much labor in keeping the
crop free from weeds during it's grow
ing period can thus be saved
