Communities Must Be Ready to Aid
Farmers.

There is an opportunity now for urban
people sympathetically and constructive.
ly to study the farm labor situation and
to render assistance, In many towns and
cities there are men who have had farm
ing experience, who are able bodied. and
who would doubtless be willing to serve
the nation in the field of agriculture at
this time. Especially for the seasonal
strains of planting cultivating, and har
vesting, it will not be too much to ask
such men To aid the farmers in the neces-
sary Undertaking of maintaining and if
possible, experimenting, the food supply
in order to feed the armies and to sus-
tain the civilian population behind them.
If soldiers are willing to serve in the
trenches, to dig bitches. build railroads
and risk their lives. many civilians can
well afford to spare part of their time
TO serve in the burrows and in the hsr
vest fields. If il appears that the farm
ers of a community or region are not
able TO secure the necessary labor by the
usual methods then the leaders in the
town or city Immediately dependent
upon that region should organize, estab-
lish touch with representative farm
leaders, and see ii they cannot assist in
solving the problem. In so doing they
will not only aid the farmers of the ma
ton but they will vitality contribute to
their own well being and to that of
their community.
The farmers are willing to do all that |
they humanity can but where their labor |
supply cannot be furnished from the |
ordinary sources. it must be recruited |
from those whose very sustenance de
ponds upon the farmers. The soldier and
the farmer are eager to do their full
share; the soldier is taking the chances
If losing his life and the farmer is risk
ng the labors of year on the chance of
he seasons: both incur risks. Very many
civilians are equally eager to do their
hare but may not appreciate the oppor-
unity 10 serve in the field of agriculture.
The departments of agriculture and la
,or will render every possible aid, but
ach community knows its own prob
ems, and urban people, especially bust
Tess men, could cooperate effectively
Nth the farmers and also render much
ssistance.

KEEP FLOUR DRY
AND COOL OR 1T
MAY BE SPOILED

To prevent the losses from spoil
age in certain f1ours and meals
during hot weather, the United
States food administration has is
sued instructions regarding their
storage. In view of the Importance
Of breadstuffs to ourselves and the
allies at this time, it is essential to
reduce to a minimum such losses
as may occur through careless
handling and storage
Flours and meals should be
stored in cool, dry, well-ventilated
places: warehouses should be
whitewashed and swept clean be-
fore these products are placed in
them; large supplies should not
be accumulated. If too large a
stock is on hand, it should be re-
duced and the f1ours and meals
consumed as soon as possible.
Care should be taken in storing
bags Of fiours and meals to have
sufficient space between the tiers
to allow abundant ventilation, and
to raise the bags sufficiently from
the floor to exclude rats, mice and
1ISCClSs dISO " pSIuIlJ CIcdHlAS VI
the floors without the necessity of
transferring the products from one
part of the warehouse to another.
Special care should be taken of
the following products Bran,
shorts and middlings, corn prod
ucts containing the outer coating
and germ, such as so-called water
ground cOrnmeal and grits, ETC.,
oats and oat meals, graham and
whOle-wheat flours, rye -four, bar
ley -four, peanut meal, soya bean
meal. These products should be
kept moving or be used as soon as
practicable and should not be al
lowed to accumulate in ware
houses.
Care should also be taken of DO
tatoes, as they will begin to sprout
in warm weather. If they do
sprOut. the tender shoots should be
rubbed off and the clean potato
transferred to new containers, all
rOtting potatoes to be removed at
the same time.

IMPORTANT THAT
EVERY TRICK BE
KNOWN IN PLANE

Every trick Of aeroplaning that
recently was considered sheer dare
deviltry is no W absolutely neces-
sary in air fighting" says Lieuten-
ant pat" O'Brien, who will give
an address her e on May 3 under the
auspices of Amoo grotto. 1.-THE
spinning head dive that was and is
the most dangerous of tricks, is the
only reliable safety device known
to airmen.
''In an air battle when opposed
by superior force the spinning head
dive is the only means of escape
from sure death; when the Huns
gather above or behind you in too
great numbers and you know you
can't outclimb them, the only re-
course left is to make a dead fall,
headforemost to earth, in what is
termed the spinning head dive, and
when within a few hundred feet
of the ground the machine is right
ed you are safe If over your own
territory.
The next best maneuver and
strangely enough the one consider
ed second to the head dive in point
of danger is the zimmerman roll,
invented by a German of that name
who was one of the worlds great
est flyers. This is used when be-
ing chased and the pursuers get
too close while you are over enemy
territory and can't make the spin
ming head dive. It consists in max
ing a half loop and when upside
down rolling sidewise; this brings
the plane above the Huns and point
ed in the opposite direction and
you fly right past them and rush
home: in other words, the INNER
man roll makes you double on your
tracks much as a fox does when
pursued by hounds"
These are termed stunts" says
Lieutenant OIBrien, "but the flyer
who can't stu mt is at a serious ad-
vantage that may prove fatal, for
the Huns are good flyers, they have
fast machines, and it is just as i'm
portant to KIN ow how to get away
as how to get into the fight"

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEYTROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys If
Back Hurts or Bladder
BOthers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a.
noted authority who tells us that
meat forms uric acid which almost
paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood.
They become sluggish and weaken,
then you suffer with a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment,
The channels often get sore and ir-
ritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
To neutraliZe these irritating
acids, to cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste
get four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy here; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon Juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and slim
ulate sluggish kidneys, also to neu-
tralfze the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot
1njure, and makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.-(Adv.)
