Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

II is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re.
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
altering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
~sistance when needed. We take less ex.
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick.
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid.

more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and

PROTECTION FOR
CONSUMER FIRST
PLAN OF BOARD
Government Food Experts
Reluctant to Fix Maxi
mum Prices on Staples.

Washington, May 22-Although
government food experts oppose fixing
maximum prices on staple food pro-
ducts except to force big holders to
release their supplies. protection for
the consumer will be one of the first
considerations Of the new food con-
troll administration.
If there is a shortage in any food
staple and. it becomes essential to
lower the price, HE government, it
was said today. will not hesitate to
take over supplies and distribute them
itself. In this way, officials believe,
more can. be accomplished than by
setting maximum prices. If there
is an abundance of food, however, it
will mot be necessary to exercise the
power to commanders.
European demand for food this
year will take all. Americas surplus.
The Allies, it has been said on good
authority, need one billion bushels
of grain to carry them through the
year. With normal crops this ;coun-
try can furnish 400, 900, 900 bushels OF
this and Canada, 200, 900, 900.
