Women Would Gut
Out Flowers for
Duration of War

"No flowers in war time" the slo-
gan adopted by the Deborah Frank
lin club and reported exclusively in
Thursdays Bee, is causing great agi-
tation in social circles,
The Deborah Franklin, bridge
luncheon club made up of wives Of
local printers, decided to omit flow
ers at their luncheon Thursday at tie
Castle hotel and at all future social
affairs as long as the war lasts.
Mrs. c. c. Belden, prominent in
club and social life, was the first to
voice her protest.
II think it is the wrong kind Of
economy to give up flowers, which
will work hardship on the florists, and
yet to waste a whole afternoon at
bridge" said Mrs. Belden. Il am not
criticising the bridge game, but it
doesn't seem right to make the fo-
rist and his employees suffer while the
women while away several hours for
their own amusement" she said.

URIC ACID
An Enemy in Ambush
(BY DR.. NJ. c. LUCAS.l

Wy INV ". IL NAh1'P
It was not until the discovery by
Sir Arthur Garrod, in 1s4S, that the
blood of equity patients contained
uric acid in an excessively large
amount, that much attention was paid
to this subject. Later scientific men
learned that in govt (also true in
rheumatism) the kidneys do not work
properly to throw off the uric acid
poison; consequently uric acid crys-
tails are deposited in and about the
Joints, where an inflammation is set
up in the nearby tissues. When for
any reason the circulation is slug
gish, as in the joints of the toes,
crystals formed from uric acid are
deposited there, and one suffers from
govt; or, when deposited in the It's
sues, one suffers from muscular rheu-
matism or articular rheumatism. My
only medicine to counteract the uric
acid and to throw it out Of the sys-

to be caused by uric acid poison in
the blood and tissues. The kidneys
soon become diseased, then there Of

Kidney disease carries away large

be done? What can the ordinary
person do to properly balance bodily
health? The answer is easy. Eat
less meat, eat coarse, plain food, with
plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of
water between meals, and take an
uric acid solvent before meals for
awhile, such as Anuric double
strength, obtained at almost any
drug store. 1t was first discovered
by DR.. Pierce of the Surgical Insti-
tute in Buffalo, N. Y. Most every one
troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water will dissolve sugar.--Adv.

ing crops for hay and pasture that
may be sown this year to take the

winter killed are now ready for dis
tribution. The Agricultural College
of the University Of Nebraska pre-
pared them.
Further instructions will so from
seed companies lall over the state. to-
gether with price lists OF the various
seeds and information as to where
they may be obtained.
For hay, amber, sorghum, common
millet and kaffir corn are suggested
in the order of their importance as a
hay crop. II is pointed out that
sorghum makes excellent hay and
produces in large quantities, but that
care must be taken that stock does
not eat it before it is cured. For hog
pasture rape and oats are recon-
mended. .-
1t is suggested that it may be bes'
to retain the old alfalfa fields where
the crop seems to be not more thar

South Dakota Will
Always Grow Wheat

South Dakota will never quit
raising wheat because of the fact
that as the production of wheat
per Individual decreases the pro
fit to those who raises it increaS-
eS. Furthermore, the people
must have bread-and approx
imately ten times as many people
may be fed from grain itself as
from the meat which that wheat
would produce. Moreover, the
state of South Dakota is a part of
the choicest wheat region of the
world. These factors, according
to DR.. A. n. Hume, a9ronomist at
State college, will keep South
Dakota in the wheat producing
list.
I'm not so sure" says DR..
Hume, but that the wheat pro-
ducin9 farmer who continues to
grow good crops and main
tains the fertility of his land by
proper rotation and applications
of plant food is after all the long
headed farmer" Wheat contains
more protein than any of our
cereals and consequently makes
the hardest drain upon the soil.
Now that the great wheat pro-
ducinQ cheap prairie lands have
disappeared the competition be-
tween farmers is becoming kean-
er. Therefore the scientific
farmer who by fertilization and
crop rotation continues to grow
the larQests crops is rapidly fore
ing his way TO the front.

VaCCinatH Your Cattle

State college has $4,000 doses of
the government vaccine on hand
for immediate distribution to
farmers free of charge. ANY
farmer without experience may
use the vaccine easily merely by
following the simple directions.
DR.. {. G. Lipp, veterinarian at
State college asserts that vaccin,
alton will reduce the blackleg loss
from 8 or 10 per cent in unvac-
Cinated herds to practically moth
ing at all. Any inexperienced
farmer can VaCClnate with little
or no risk and very small cost.
The vaccine is a brown powder
which is mixed with water and
injected under the skin of the
neck The only cost is about
$3.50 to $500 for syringe and
other instruments. and several
cattle owners may cut this down
by cooperation and thus reduce
the expense to only a few cents
per head. South Dakota suffers
an annual loss of hundreds of
thousands of dollars from black
leg in cattle says DR. LiDp, and
this loss is serious as the country
faces a food shortage. The
