So, instead of any killing II unwritenlaw defenses or suits for aiena-

The Jordans and Turcottes agreed to get divorces Divorce DEGREES were

Then the former Mrs.. Jordan became the e Mrs. Turcotte, and the

The W. couples stood up together at the ceremony and the fnendlest

Before the divorces the Jordans and Turcottes weren next door neighbors.
1t was then the husbands and their wives concluded they were wrongly
mated and decided to back out of their matrimonial alliances and start anew.
Both couples had children, each a boy and girl. After the matrimonial
swap couple took the two boys and the other took the two girls. This

American Tractors
To Plow in Britain;
Help Beat U-Boats

London, Feb. 28.-"We want 1000
american tractor piows for the use
OF a civilian army Of night blowers
which we are about to enlist through
out the British isles" said Sir Arthur
Lee, director general of food pro-
duction, to The Associated Press to-
day. This new department, which is
the outgrowth of Germany's subma-
rine campaign, aims at the enlistment
of several hundred thousand civilians
to cultivate every available bit OF soil.
"We hope to make the tractor
plows fill the gap caused By the short
age in labor" continued Sir Arthur.
"For this reason we are .,oing to i'm
[ ri as many as we can from Amer
lea. We are going to equip them
witt. headlights for night blowing.
Laborers can only work eight hours,
but tractors can work twenty-four
hours. They will be driven by tax
icab drivers and chauffeurs, Nho will
be able to learn their mechanism in a
few hours.
Behind every pillow will be a
skilled farmer. They will be assist
ed by prisoners, conscientious objec-
tors, members OF the home defense
forces and women. In this way we
hope TO produce enough food to make
US independent of outside help as
long as the war lasts. We do not be-
licve we will be able to produce suf-
ficicnt crops to feed the population in
time of peace, but are confident we
will be able to grow enough to stave
off starvation during the war. For
this we thank the German subma-
rines. They already have given Eng
land an agricultural policy which is
destined to make us to large extent
self supporting. The submarines,
also, have revived rural life, given the
farmers minimum wage, and gener-
ally made our national defense more
effective than thousand speeches in
Parliament"

Red Blood
and Courage!

What drives the men right up
to the trenches in this war is
courage, and it's red blood that
puts the heart" in the men. Did
any one ever see a puny, thin
hLo0ded man ever rush into the
fight with any chance of winning
out? With rich, pure blood you
can face any hardship, reach any
goal. But you are handicapped in
the race of life without it. Every
tissue, bone, muscle, should take
from the blood certain materials
and return to it certain others.
This process insures perfect
health. When the poisons ac-
cumulate in the blood, perhaps
the face breaks out in pimples, or
boiIs appear on the neck, and we
feel languid, tired, our vitality is
at low ebb, and we easily catch
cold.
It's time to take an Alternative
extract and blood-purifier taken
from natures forests. Such a one
is made up of Golden Seal, Blood
and Stone root, Oregon Grape and
Queens root-extracted with
glycerine and made into sugar.
coated tablets or liquid, and this
has been sold by druggists for the
past fifty years as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It's
always efficacious in the spring.
when the blood is run down and
you need a wholesome tonic. Try
this old-fashioned but reliable
remedy, without alcohol!
If you are occasionally troubled
with rheumatic pains or lumbago,
pain in the back, toes or muscles
of the body, this is due to uric acid
stored in the system. The liver
and Kidneys do not act properly.
For such a person, | advise taking
Anuric double strength) three
times daily for a week or two.
This Anuric throws out the uric
acid which aCcumulates, and If
taken occasionally will prevent or
cure rheumatism and gout. There
is nodiffcuIty in obtaining Anuric.
