For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They are the filters, the puri-
fers of your blood. If the poisons which
enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica, lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.

On the Casualty List.

A gallant infantry officer who had
faced a hundred perils and returned
home from furlough without scratch
met with misfortune the first night
home, says London Tit-Bits. In the
black darkness of side street he col
lided with n porter's barrow and sus-
tanned broken arm. The limb healed
nicely, but so long as it reposed in a
sling the owner was pestered with kind
inquiries from admiring friends who
were blissfully unaware Of the real
cause of the injury. The limit was
reached one day when he encountered
former business rival, who at once
alluded to the now hateful subject:
"By Jove, old fellow, l envy you
with that eloquent testimony Of your
prowess. In what action did you
come by it?'
Hang it, sir" was the teSty reply,
"can't you read the blessed war news
for yourself?"

BETTER QUALITY OF
FRUIT BY THINNING
Problem Will Vary This Season
According to Location, Says
Kansas H0rtiCuIturiSt.

Thin the apples and get better
quality of fruit, is the suggestion of
+. s. Merrill assistant professor of
horticulture in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
The problem of thinning will vary
this year according to locality, accord
ing to Professor Merrill. The season
of pollination was unfavOrable and
the set of fruit generally light. Some
districts report particularly heavy
set and consequently some of the big
gest growers are planning to thin this
year.
Thinning conserves plant food for
the use of the best specimens, reduces
liability of limb breakage, reserves the
Stored-up plant food for the develop
mCnt of next years crop, and gives
larger fruit with better color. If
properly done, it removes the diseased
specimens, and thus reduces somewhat
danger of later infection.
The work should be done soon after
the June drop is completed or when
the apple is the size of hazelnut. If
thinning is done early there is less
waste of plant food for the developing
fruit although the later thinning would
have some value in preventing break
age of the limbs.
Varieties like Ben Davis, Rome
Beauty, and GanO are easily thinned
by hand while others with short fruit
spurs offer some difficulty. For such
varieties the use of special thinning
shears is advocated. In thinning not
more than one apple should be left on
Il spur. In removing the surplus ap'
Piles an upward twist of the stem will
remove the undesirable fruit without
injury to the remaining apple. The
small, poorly developed, diseased, ol
injured apples should be removed an6
if the set of healthy apples is great
they should be thinned to eight inches
apart.
Careless workers sometimes break
off the fruit spurs upon which the
fruit is growing. Such a practice
should not be tolerated because the
injury SO inflicted may be so severe
as to counteract the value of thinning
The fruit buds are nearly always de
veloped on short irregular spurs, ant
it is these that should be guarded.

Has Second Two-cent Piece cOinec

Has Second Two-cent Piece Coined.
The second two-cent piece ever
coined in the United States is owned
by Henry F. Merrill of Albany, Ore.
Mr.. Merrill also has a one-cent piece,
coined in 1896, said to be the first year
pennies were coined by the United
States.
Mr.. Merrill received the historic two
cent piece from his grandfather, the
late Joseph Failing of Portland. Mr..
Failing was attending the Republican
national convention which renOminated
President Lincoln, In 1854, and while
on his eastern trip visited the Phila-
delphia mint. The new coins were
being minted for the first time.
The first one made was preserved for
the governments collection, according
to custom, and the second was given
to Mr.. Failing by the director of the
mint, who happened to be a friend of
his.

YEAR FOR MAcKEREL
Small Schools Of the Fish Have Been
Seen Even In New York Harbor'
IL is Said.

This is a banner mackerel year, ac-
cOrding to the fishermen who have al
ready been at the Grand Bdnks ana
brought back huge catches, says Bos-
ton dispatch. "Mackerel to the res
cue" is one slogan of the food con-
servators.
Gloucester fishermen arriving at TINS
port say that enormous schools oil
mackerel have been moving off Cape
Shore, N. s., and fleet Of 40 seining
schOoners has been making rich hauls.
So tremendous has been the catch that
1t has been necessary to charter addl-
tlOnal steamers at Yarmouth to get
the fish to market.
According to Gloucester men the
great cold storage plant on the nsh
pier at Boston has been filed by the
mackerel pouring in and there is no
more room in the freezer" Hundreds
of tons of frozen mackerel are waiting
shipment to the allies.
Small schools of the fish have been
seen even in New York harbor and
there is likely to be a big harvest OF
them off the Jersey coast.

Heavy Picture Frames Passing.

Picture-framing In Great Britain has
undergone many transformations in
recent years. The building of smaller
houses made obsolete the fashion Of
heavy frames which were the pride of
Victorian dining rooms. There are pat
terms of the Charles II, and the Louis
periods which by their merit in de-
sign have escaped destruction, and
have served as models for frames made
out of "composition." Old frames Of
baser design have been burned that

the oven rack may be put on the bot
tom and the jars placed in dripping
pan with q little water in it, enough
to send up steam all the time they are
cooking. The Jars are filled with fruit
and then hot sirup poured in to near
ly fill them. Place in the oven on the
asbestos sheet, being careful that the
Jars do not touch each other or the
sides of the oven where the heat is
greatest. When the sirup boils up
and flows over the tops of the fruit,
remove the Jars, fill with boiling sirup,
put on sterile rubbers and new tops
and seal For small fruits 10 to Is
minutes in a hot oven is sufficient time
to cook well, but with firm larger
fruits, like peaches, pears and plums,
a longer time will be needed. 1t is
wise to take out piece of fruit and
try 1t with q spoon to see If it is well
cooked before filling and sealing the
cans.
The advantage of this method is
that the fruit may be put into the
sterile jars the night before and while
breakfast is preparing the cooking can
go on, the cans filed and all out of
the way before the work of the day
begins.
Another method very popular among
campers where the wild fruit is picked
and put up in the woods with few
things to work with, is the following:
Put the fresh fruit into sterile Jars
with good tops and new rubbers, fill
ing the jars to overfowing with hot
sirup of any richness desired, seal and
place in boiler, pour in boiling wa
ter to cover the jars to depth of two
inches. Put on the boiler cover and
pack rugs, carpets or anything to
keep the heat, leave "a hours, take out
the cans, screwing them to be sure
lhey are perfectly air tight. wrap Jars
or put in a dark, cool place.

to small markets for their produce,
especially in the event that there may
be an overprOduction of a certain
commodity. 1t is highly desirable that
crops of which there is very heavy
production, such as may be the case
with potatoes, be distributed over as
wide territory as possible. Shippers
should try to cultivate the small-town
markets and hence increase the num-
ber of outlets for such crops, thus pre-
venting gluts in the larger markets
and conserving the supply of other
more important commodities, such as
wheat.
In case grower has difficulty In
disposing of q surplus of given COM
modify, he should attempt to conserve
as large a proportion as practicable
by means Of canning and evaporation
and providing good common storage
on his farm for such crops as apples,
potatoes, cabbage and onions. More
attention might also be paid to the
conserving of root crops, such as tur-
nips. Every precaution should be
taken to eliminate waste and loss due
to decay.
Write for information.
Producers who are not already In
touch with the United States bureau
of markets should write to that bu-
reau to find out If there is any way
in which information which is at the
disposal of various projects can be OF
benefit to them in the marketing of
their crops. In addition to the mar
ket news service, which is maintained
regarding meat, hay and grain and
the proposed market news service for
dairy products, it is probable that
daily market bulletins will be issued
during August on the following fruits
and vegetables: White potatoes, sweet
potatoes, onions, apples, peaches, Gel
cry and dried beans.
