GERS of that service and sanitary en-
gineers with a large force of laborers
and large equipment.
Malaria is one of the most serious
diseases in certain sections of the
coutry. During certain seasons more
thatn SO per cent of all calls made by
physicians in many districts in the
United States are for malaria. 1t is
one of the greatest health problems
now, not only SO far as the soldiers
are concerned, but also because of the
necessity to produce a maximum Of
food and other supplies related to the
war. The efficiency of the laborer in
the South, according to public health
service officials, has been markedly
reduced by the disease. These experts
say that the anti-malaria campaign
will reduce malaria generally and will
stimulate similar work by local health
authorities.

Kill All Males
and Save Money

(By Minnie M. Floyd, Assistant Dem
onstration Agent, University of Fla.)
Sell, kill or confine every rooster by
June 1.
Produce infertile eggs and help Flor
ida save $22O,000.
Florida markets. 100000 dozen
eggs annually. Five per cent Of these
spoil because fertile.
This year these $4,000 dozen spoil
ed fertile eggs are worth 100000. Is
100000 worth trying to save?
The farmers of Florida lose each
year large sums Of money because of
improper methods of producing and
handling eggs. One-third at least Of
this loss is easily preventable. It is
due to the partial Matching Of fertile
eggs.
The eggs laid by a hen may be eth
er fertile or infertile, depending upon
whether or not the male bird has been
allowed to run with the female. A,
fertile egg is one in which the germ
has been fortified by the male bird.
Except for this process Of fertiliza-
ton, the male bird has no influence
upon the eggs which the hens lay. Egg
production is equally great in focks
from which ROSTERS are excluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as we'll
as an infertile one because the fertil-
lied germ responds more readily to
high temperatures than the unfertil-
lied one. It is impossible to hatch an
infertile egg or to cause blood ring
to form in one. Such eggs are much
more likely to reach the table in good
condition and there is much less spoil
age in shipments composed entirely Of
them than in mixed shipments of fer
tile and infertile eggs. s'
After the Matching season, Therefore,
the male birds should be cooked sold,
or confined. In approximately Ia days
after this all the eggs laid by the
hens will be infertile. These can be
marketed much more successfully I'M

quently prevail in the hot summer

Rules for Handling Eggs on the Farm.
Heat is the great enemy of eggs,
both fertile and infertile.
Farm women are urged IN fo1Ioyv
these simple rules, which cost nothing
but time and thought and will add
dollars to the poultry yard returns:
|. Keep the nests clean; providing
one nest for ever four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
8. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
a week.
5. Sell, kill or confne all male birds
as soon as the Matching season is over.

GERMAN HELLISHNESS.
"a True StOry.)

In certain section of the state of
Louisiana a colony of Belgian farmers
located several years before the pres
ent war. Many members of the peace
full and happy little colony had rela-
tiyes and friends in Belgium, and
when prosperity began to come,
thoughts of visiting the land of their
birth and the loved ones left behind
were uppermost in the minds of many.
Among these was family of four
father, mother, son and daughter-a
devoted family, educated and refined.
In the summer of 1914 it was decided
that the mother-a comely woman on
the sunny side of 40-and the daugh-
ter should make the long hoped-for
visit, and the two arrived safely in
Belgium, according to letter written
at that time.
Then the horde of Prusian brutes
overran and devastated that country,
and no further word was heard by the
anxious husband and father from
these two innocent and helpless wom-
en-, then American citizens, for two
long years, then the broken-hearted
man received the following note,
struggled through in some manner by
way of Switzerland:

Mayor Hylan in making public de-
tails of the plan, said it contemplated

Interchange of students between the
universities of North America with
those of Latin-America, so that young
men may take post graduate courses
and learn Spanish languages and Gus
toms of the countries is another fea-

SALTS # BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for . while II your Bladder
troubles you.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in tho kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says q well.known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort Of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish aud clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather Ia bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night,
Either consult q good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces Of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 80 It
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is q life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, efer.
vescent Whitewater drink.
