AT the recent meeting OF federal
food administrators at Washington. In
view OF the probable enormous crop
OF all food products during this year,
the conservation OF wheat for the next
year was considered, In view Of the
uncertainty OF an equal crop and the

producing q crop. owing to the in.
creasing army. The food administra.
tors from Kansas and South Dakota
went on record,in favor Of allowing,

sumner the privilege Of storing a years

Must Save Wheat.

Even IL the next harvest does prove

says, Herbert Hoover In q statement

Recent press dispatches" he says,
"haye given the wholly false impress
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation OF wheat and
flour. The food administration de-
clares that every aspect OF the wheat
situation, both present and prospec-
tive, intensifies the need of the great

be no anticipation of unlimited wheat

Of q soldier on the battle line until

Many Madison People Have Found
Their Kidneys to BE at Fault.

There is no other organ in the
body more susceptible to weather
changes than the kidneys. Colds,
chills. damp, changing weather all
play their part In bringing on kidney
ills. "If you would be well. keep
your kidneys well" is a golden rule
of health and one Madison readers
would do well to follow. If suffer-
ing from kidney sickness you can use
no better remedy than Doan's Kidney
Pills. This great kidney remedy has
been used for kidney trouble so
years. Convincing proof Of its merit

they relieved the backache."

"Who would have thought possible

Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat
deserted. But since then everything
