1t is fact that many letters taken
from prisoners, who whether written
by them to be posted home or receiv-
ed by them from civilians in the in
terror of Germany, are in the same
vein. One German in Berlin chided
his brother at the front about max

German Soldiers
No1O Thinking of

With the British Army in France
Monday, Aug. 26.-The idea of a
change in form in the government
OF Germany seems to occupy a place
in the thoughts Of many soldiers
judging from remarks made by prts-
oners. One OF these who has ex-
pressed hopes of a change was a
soldier from Baden. He said he and
his comrades had had more war than
they wanted and hoped that as soon
as war was over Baden would be-
come an independent republic.
More Alsatians have been captured
by the British. One Of them said he
had refused for 3 years to enter tine
German army. He was finally drag
ged in by force and since then has
been mostly in the front lines. .<-

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised. all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy 10
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Roo a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that l know of
has SO large a SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' SwampRoot is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulhls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

more in practice, and then at their

FACTS
ENORMOUS WASTE IN WINTER
Minnesota Dairy Expert Makes StarE.
ling Statement as to Amount Of
Milk That Is Wasted.

Three and onerhalf billion pounds OF
milk are practically wasted in the
dairy states every winter. This makes
21,O00,000 pounds every day. The fore
going is startling statement, hut r.
NJ. Washburn of the division OF dairy
husbandry, Minnesota College of Agri-
culture, says it is true. The farmes
feeds most of his skim milk to hogs.
This milk. fed to hogs, produces only
20 per cent Of its energy value in edl-
bic pork. Eighty per cent of its ener-
gy value is lost. Mr.. Washburn says.
though, that some milk is necessary to
start pigs off strongly.
Much more of the energy value of
the skim milk will be saved If it is
made into cottage cheese. Every 100
pounds of skim milk, says Mr.. Wash
burn, is equivalent to 20 pounds of or
binary meat, and viii make Is pounds
of cottage cheese. The cheese cons
tains about one-third more protein
and one-third less energy than meat,
and is therefore essentially equivalent
to meat.

In experiments at Beltsville, Md, by
the bureau of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture, a
warm barn, commonly deemed essen
tial for large milk production during
the winter months, proved. to be some
what less satisfactory than an open
shed. Experiments extending over
three years showed that cows housed
in the open shed consumed little
more feed, required more bedding and
slightly increased labor cost, but be-
cause more milk was produced and on
account of the lower cost of housing,
the open shed was found to be some
what more economical.
