TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS AND WAR
Drawings Give Leaders a Comprchen- sive View of the Important
 Geographic Relations.

It has been said that many of the battles of the Civil war would never have been fought had there been topo- graphic maps, for those in command could have studied q map of the coun- try about them and they would never have subjected their men to such marches as were made and then have expected their men to fight, states student of military engineering. But topography in its general sense and as It Is shown today on the maps of the geological survey was little known in the sixties. The engineer corps of the army was highly efficient, even at that time, but the topographic engineer did lot appear in the American army until August 6, 1861, when an act of con- gross authorized the enlistment of one company of topographic engineers. This company was afterward merged into the corps of engineers.
 Today within the wide boundaries of our country, which embraces more than 5,0OO,000 square miles, there are hun dred million people. They live on tarms, in villages and in towns and cities. Their dwelling places may be separated by broad rivers and rugged mountains, but the use of the topo- graphic map Is gradually knitting them systematically together, and at any time that this widespread popula- hon may be required to move in con- certed action for a common cause the topographic map will give the leaders a comprehensive view of the geo. graphic relations, so that the Iroblem of moving can be solved more quickly and with better judgment. The topo- graphic map, 1t is pointed out by ex- perts of the survey, like the telephone and the typewriter, has become . ne- cessity, and we wonder now. how we have ever done without 1t. --
 The "man Tn the street" may have thought little of the value of the work of the topographic engineer, and to him and others who have not considered the importance of that work some H. tustrations of its value might be in- teresting.
 A well-known author, soldier and topographic engineer found the topo- graphic maps of the survey indtspensa- ble In every branch of his work. By vtudying a country before going into It he became so familiar with the de- tails of many interesting features of which the natives had never heard that bis stories acquired & realism that conld not have been infused into them had he dwelt In the country lifetime.
 Again, 15 cents spent by a reclama- ton engineer in connection with a private engineering project saved his company $S.000 and established a pro- ject which would never have seemed possible had not the three topographic maps he purchased given him a com prehensive view of several hundred square miles of country, where the drainage problems are most intricate and deilcate. Many such examples are cited by officials of the survey.

FOOD PRODUCTION ENDANGERED
 BY FREIGHT EMBARooEs.

During the last weeks of December. 1917, absolute embargoes were placed on rail shipments of phosphate rock from Florida. This fact was widely reported in the daily press, yet few people realized its true significance. If the embargo continues it will force the closing of many fertilizer factories all over the United States, and will render impossible maximum production of food crops so badly needed In these times Of war. An embargo of this kind. necessary though it he, vitally affects the handspring of our national welfare.
 The first big effect of such an em- bargo is to cause the closing of all de-. partments of many fertilizer plants However. the big effect of this em- bargo on rock phosphate movement ia on the farm Itself. where fer tilizer Is needed for the work of food production. Labor is short. greater production can only be secured through higher acre yields produced by using what labor we have on land so ferti-; lized as to make it productive. In this light. then. e continued embargo oa, rock phOsphate. however necessary tq may be from the transportation vicw- point. Is a great national calamity. Id affects both our agricultural product ton and the ability of our countryi to win the war speedily and ccrtsinlyI

Re-Enforce With Fertilizer.

Manure Is weak in the element phosphorus. and benefits immensely from the addition of phosphoric acid. By adding about one-half sack of acid phosphate to each ton of manure, the Ohio experiment station increased the crop producing value of a ton of manure at least 50 per cent.
 The plant food in ordinary manure Is only about three-fifths as effective as the plant food of commercial fertilizer. For this reason manure should always he supplemented with available fertil- Izer so that crops may he given a quick start In the early spring.
 By handling manure as it should be handled-supplement with available fertilizer and re-enfOrcing it with acid phosphate-we will be able to make our present supply of fertilizer and manure more effective in the produc- tion of food crops.

MAKING MANURE
 M.RE VALUABLE
Manure Re-enforoed With Fer tilizer Gives Largest
 Yields.

With the prospect of decided shortage of plant food supplies, stabls manure takes on increased importance in crop production. It has not yet reached the point where 1t is worth from $8 to $1o per ton, as some would have us believe, but it ts certainly worth enough to justify better care and attention than 1t has been gct- ting.
 So much has been written about the saving of manure, but so much yet remains to be done by the farmer that we are led to believe the recommendal tions have been too complicated to follow, or else that the gain has not been worth theprice. There are, how ever. three things which may easily he done by any farmer, to increase the on his farm from 50 to 100 per cent, and these without any material in- crease either In labor or capital
 The Canadian field reports find ton of fresh manure little more valuable than a ton of routed manure tmade from two tons of fresh manure). Therefore. we get twice as much value from manure when we haul 1t direct to the field. instead of throwing 1t into a barnyard to rot.
 The Pennsylvania agricultural ex- pertinent station found that manure spread at the rate of six tons per acre returns $3.29 per ton in crop increase, while when spread at the rate of ten tons per acre 1t returns only S2.29 per ton.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, CON
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in 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
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions OF men and
women take now and then to keep the
Kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease
