Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect 1t.
 Womens' complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy con dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita- ble and maybe despondent it makes anyone so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Eilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 A good kidney medicine, possessing real healing and curative value, should be blessing to thousands of nervous, over-worked women.
 Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp Root, the great kidney liver and bladder medicine will do for them. Every reader of this paper, who has not already tried it. by enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post.

WINTER HOUSING FOR SHEEP
Barns Need Not Be Expensive, but Should Be Dry, We'll Ventilated
 and Free From Drafts.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricultural
 Equipment for raising sheep on farms need not be expensive. In mild attitudes little housing is needed, and the main need is for fencing and pas lures of sufficient number and size to allow frequent changing of flocks to fresh ground to insure health. Where winters are longer and more severe buildings and sheds are necessary to furnish protection from storms, though no special provisions are needed for warmth. Dryness, good ventilation and freedom from drafts are the first requisites of buildings for sheep. Con venience in feeding and shcpherding must also be held in mind in locating and planning such buildings or sheds.
 Small fiocks can be cared for in sec tiOns of barns having stabling or feed storage for other stock, but with a flock of, say, 100 ewes, separate build ings are desirable. The interior ar rangement of these buildings should be such as to require a minimum of labor and the least possible moving of

Washington. Consolidation of men in the military and naval service of the United States after their return from France will be carried out large ly on basis of the ability of trades and occupations to absorb them, un- der a plan being worked out by the Labor, War and Navy Departments and the War Industries Board. It was said that the plan will be submitted to President Wilson in few days.
 The War Industries Board has sent questionaires to employers in all in- dustries asking the needs of each for men and the answers will show where. when and how rapidly jobs will be ready for discharged soldiers and sailors and what trades are most in need of them. Supplementing this in- formation will be that received from draft boards and community labor boards, which are to cooperate in the work.
 The War Policies Board and the United States Employment Service will be combined to handle the Labor Departments end. The War Depart ment is expected to establish a new bureau or to convert the activities of Provost Marshal General Crowders office to this end. General Crowder was suggested by some officials as the man best qualified to deal with the task of preserving the balance of power of the labor supply without delaying demobilizatiCn operation

PIGS FOR BREEDING STOCKS
Animals Should Be Kept Separately and Fed Differently Than Those
 for Fatteninq.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Animals which are to be kept for breeding purposes should be separated from the fattening stock soon after weaning. Only such gilts as show exceptional type and conformation should be chosen to replace or aug ment the sows In the herd. No male animals should be saved entire unless the breeder Is growing purebred reg istered swine. When they are so to that of the gilts.
 Breeding stock must not be pam pered. This does not mean to neglect them, but 1t Is not best to house them as carefully or feed them as heavily as the fattening stock. Sows should be trained to resist the weather and to utilize forage crops, that they may have vitality and the ability to eat cheap feeds. Pasture should be fur nished in abundance to these young gilts, particularly such crops as the legumes. It Is best to feed some grain to the breeding stock to keep them growing nicely. but they must never be pushed. for the whole object in their feeding Is to make them stretch out and develop bone and muscle in place of fat. A grain ration contain ing more protein than is fed to fatten- ing stock is very good for breeding animals, an ideal ration being similar to the ones previously given as wean- ing rations. Two pounds for each 100 pounds live weight Is about the right amount to feed. The gilts are kept on the same feed until time to breed for the first litter. after which they are maintained in much the same fashion as the old sows during pregnancy. ex- cept that they are fed heavier ration. The gilt at this time must not only grow the unborn litter but must be fur nished nutriment to continue her own growth.

HEALTH TALK Spanish Influenza or Grip
 BY DR. LEE H. SMITH.

An old enemy is with us again, and must put up good fight, and not be afraid. The influenza runs a very brief course when the patient Is careful, and if we keep the system in good condition and throw off the poisons which tend to accumulate within our bodies, we can escape the dis ease. Remember these three C's-a clean mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels To carry off poisons from the system and keep the bowels loose, daily doses of a peaGant laxative should be taken. Such a one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of ialap, and called Dr. Perce's Pleas ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used freely if attacked by a cold, and the pa. tient should be put to bed after hot mustard foot-bath.
 To prevent the attack of bronchitis or pneumonia and to control the pain, Anuric tablets should be obtained at the drug store, and one given every two hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tablets were first discovered by Dr. Pierce, and, as they flush the bladder and cleanse the kidneys, they carry away much of the poi. sons and the uric acid.
 It is important that broths, milk, but. termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given regularly to strengthen the system and in. crease the vital resistance. The fever is diminished by the use of the Anuric tab lets, but in addition, the forehead, arms and hands may be bathed with water (tepid) in which a tablespoonful of sal aratus has been dissolved in quart.

KEEP BEST YOUNG ANIMALS
Successful Breeders Do Not Sell Pure Bred Stock That Definitely
 Excel Parents.

The most successful breeders of pure-bred live stock are men who do not sell the young animals that defi- nitely excel the parents. High prices do not tempt, nor equal merit in other herds or fiocks concern such makers of breed history. It Is with their own familiar animals that they produce the best results. for no matter how excel lent the purchased animal may ke, it seldom produces as good results in carrying forward the breeders ideals W improvement.

WRONG IDEA ABOUT ECLIPSE
Many Had Peculiar DeIusion That 1t

One Certain Spot.

The Manchester Guardian, in Eng.

following story: Not long ago, when,
in the usual order Of events, there was
an eclipse of the moon-visible at
Greenwich-a man whose work
brought him daily into Manchester
was seen going home about two hours
earlier than usual. Upon being asked
by one Of his train companions to &C.
count for the sudden break in his rou-
tine, he replied that he had to be back
in the city before nine o'clock, because
he had read in his morning paper that
the eclipse of the moon would be WIS.,
ible from Albert Square from about
that time onward, and he was not 60
ing to miss the opportunity, as it was
q fine night. He lived in the country q!
The story recalls the famous incident
connected with Dean Swift, when his
word was lazy in Dublin, some two
hundred years ago. The dean had an
Aounced that there would be an eclipse
of the sun on a certain day, at GER
tain time, visible from his house.
Some time before the appointed hour,
large crowds Of people focked from
all parts of the city aud congregated
around the deans house, much to his
annoyance. So much, indeed, did it
trouble him, that he finally sent out
word to the waiting multitude that the
eclipse had been postponed, and would
not take place for some time. The
people at once returned to their homes,
disappointed, but unquestioning.-
