Bill to Round Up Detectives and Dis

Necessities.

London, March 30.-A bill giving the
military authorities power to order re-
examination of men previously rejected
and also of men who already have served
and been discharged in conseque>rce OF
wounds or illness, was moved in the
House OF Commons yesterday on second
reading by Chancellor Bonar Law The
chancellor said the bill was an absolute
necessity owing to the military situation.
Owing to the submarine menace it was
proved impossible to obtain the men eX-
pected from agricultural or from the adj
miralty and the shipbuilding yards. The
chancellor said the bill would enable the
military authorities to deal with one mil
lion men, and they estimated that at
least 100000 men would be available
within the next three months. They
were proceeding on the principle that
every fit man should 60 on the firing

Most old people must give the bowels
some regular help, else they suffer from
constipation The condition is perfectly
natural. Ii is just as natural as it is for
old people to walk slowly. For age is
never SO active as youth. The muscles
are less elastic. And the bowels are mus
cells
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid
to weak bowels. The bowels must be
kept active This is important at all ages,
but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity. But a lash can't be used
every day, What the bowels OF the old
need is a gentle and natural tonic. One
that can constantly be used without
harm. The only such tonic is Casearets,
and they cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store. They work while you

WASHINGTON COUNTY FARM
BUREAU ASSOCIATION.
Stop Food Crop Waste by Improving
Methods.

The secretary OF agriculture, d.
Houston. on March 81, issued the follow
ing statement;
Both for economic and patriotic rea
sons the American farmer should strive
this year for the highest standard OF
efficiency in the production and conserva-
tion OF food. But production accom-
| plished by wasteful methods does not
make for efficiency, and careful thought
therefore should be given to the steps
that need to be taken.
AT this. the approach OF the growing
season, it is pertinent to consider steps
which should be taken during the start
| ing or the growing OF crops to prevent
or eliminate wastes. In the case of the
great staple cereals, which constitute a
large proportion of our food supply, con-
spicuous production wastes result from
failure to give proper attention to the
selection and safeguarding OF seed for
planting, the preparation of the land,
and the care of the crop. For instance,
only varieties known TO be well adapted
to the region where planted should be
selected, so that in case of such crop
as corn the grain will not fail to mature
properly in a normal season. The plant
ing Of seed that will not terminate often
results in great loss of time. labor and
money which could have been avoided by
testing the seed for germinability before
planting
In some sections the damage to crops
by destructive diseases and insects is the
most conspicuous crop waste. Economi-
cally sound and efficient production ne
eessitates protection Of crops against
these pests. Disinfecting dips for seed
and sprays and spraying Tor growing
crops now have been developed to a point
where they afford for certain crops
