This is not a prophecy of German
victory. Only the slogan OF an elo-
quent appeal by the food admins
tration for every patriotic American
family outside of the fire limits TO
keep a pig Partly to supply the
urgent demand of our allies and our
own soldiers for those vital neces-
sites. meat and fat, and partly to
turn TO valuable use large quaint
ties Of garbage and kitchen refuse
which would otherwise go 10 waste.
Like the dog. even the pig has his
dav. and this is it, The time has
come for US TO paraphrase Henry
Y, to
Cry bacon and pen up the pigs
Of war"
The great value of the pig as an
auxiliary to the quartermaster' de-
partment is that he is capable OF
such rapid mobilization. To increase
markedly our stock Of beef takes
from three 20 five years, because the
period of CESSATION covers the best
part Of a year. and beef cattle take
two or three years TO mature. Be
sides which, calves are born singly'
or at most, occasionally in pairs.
While the pig can be materialized,
raised like spirits from the vastly
deep Of the garbage can, as p
pounds of prime meat, over a third
OF il fat. within eight or nine months
of the time that he is first thought
Of and comes in punches OF from
five to fifteen.
SO elastic and capable of eXpan-
sion is he that Mr.. Hoover estimates
the entire fat and meat demands Of
the allied armies for the coming
year at 100000 tons, and declares
that the whole Of this enormous
supply can be furnished by the
american pig alone. If he is but

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applications for Insurance often
Rejected

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent life insurance eompan
les, in an interview of the subject
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why SO many applicants for
insurance are rejected is because kid
ney trouble is so common to the Amer
ieaR people, and the large majority of
those whose applications are declined
do not even suspect that they have the
disease.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
eessfui in overcoming these conditions.
