War Dope of Interest

Due to the fact that persons have
been working the people for donations
of various sorts in the name of some
branch of War Relief, the National
Council of Defense has asked the State
Councils to sanction all such campaigns
Therefore the miscellaneous solicitor
will have to have proper credentials
and citizens are urged to note this ac-
ton In addition this will tend to dis
continue the frauds that have from
time to time appeared with an alleged
campaign whichlin reality was scheme
to make money by the solicitor.
Wisconsin Hotels, according to the
Food Administrator, saved LAB, $50 lbs.
of meat per month during October and
November and 81, 600 pounds of wheat
during a month. Not bad record.
Better than money because they earn
money. Buy a War Savings Stamp to-
day.

SIX AND A HALF BILLION
POUNDS OF MEAT FOOD
What City and Country Can Produce in
the Form of Poultry and Eggs.

If poultry production is doubled next
year, as is readily possible with this
city and country cooperation, we will
have 6, 500, 600, 900 pounds of meat food,
in the form of poultry and eggs. This
will release almost that many pounds
Of other meats-pork and beef-for our
Armies in Europe, and for the armies
and civilian populations of the Allies.
If we do not produce this amount of
poultry we may find ourselves short of
meat food to just that extent
1t is patriotic duty of the utmost
Importance that every farmer and every
person in town do his part in producing
this increase of poultry, which will help
to win the war. 1t is also profitable
proposition for the average individual
BoCh town and farm families will pro
duoe, at its lowest cost, meat food for
their own use, and, by putting up eggs
for winter use will further reduce liv-
ing expenses
The poultry will be handled as by
product of the farm and backyard; each
flock being large enough in numbers to
utilize the scraps and waste from the
k tchen and the "pick-ups" around the
place, supplemented by some feed. But
no flock should be out Of proportion to
the ground space and kitchen wastage
mot SO large that feed will become,
relatively, too costly an item. The
idea is not only to increase our poultry
production, but Go do it economically;
to do it at very little cost, by turning
the waste of kitchens and backyards
all over the United States into chickens
and eggs Fowls are the only medium
through whirh good deal of this
waste can be transformed into valu
able food product

Navy Calling for More Men

Men of draft age can still enlist in
the Navy.
All that is necessary for a registered
man to join the Navy is to secure a
written statement from his local board
that his class and order number are so
low that he is not in the current quota
of the board. Present this statement
to the recruiting station and you will
be accepted.
The Navy still needs thousands Of
men. Wisconsin must furnish her quota
of men to man the big battleships. The
Navy takes men from Is to 35 years.

w. Theodore Whitman, poultry ex-

Good layers have long bodies, back
sloping to the tail medium-length legs
set well apart; full prominent egg bas-

comb large, always red, and the num-

MOTORTRUCK GAINING FAVOR
Christian Herald Points Out Tremend.
Gus Help of Machines In Present
Threatened Crisis.

1t has been determined by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
that five acres are required to main
tain a horse. Now this land ought to
raise rs bushels Of wheat, worth, at
$3.50 bushel, $165; or say $50 bush
els of potatoes, worth-well, any farm
er knows what five acres of good land
are worth.
But a motortruck does the work,
not of one horse, but Of at least three
horse-drawn vehicles, or say six horses.
By using a motortruck, therefore. the
farmer would represent nearly $l,O00
a year, observes the Christian Herald.
The labor involved in raising the wheat
would be no greater than in raising
oats or corn for horse feed and the
horse would eat the oats while tile
wheat could be sold.
There are In the country at lease II
100000 farms or 40 acres or more In
size, every one Of which could make
good use of one or mRe trucks. These
trucks would do the work Of probably
100000 horses, aid this would re-
lease 50000,0oo acres of arabic land
AS only three acres are required to
support a human being, these would
feed nearly 100000 people. What
tremendous help that would be In tho
present threatened food cr!sisl

PROVEN SWAMP ROOT
AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in rundown condition.
The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains Of lame back

lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, SO
many people say, soon heals and strength

liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound, has gentle heal
ing effect on the kidneys, which is al

by those who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who may
be in need of it. Better get bottle from
your nearest drug store, and start treat

WINTER AUTO CARE
How to Keep Finishes Bright De-
spite Exposures.
CAR OWNER MUST use Care
Protective Coat of Paint Is Heavy and
Shields the Softer coloring Base
From Inroads of Weather.
Use Cold Water.

Keeping the car comfortable Is not
the only winter problem. How to pre-
serve it's finish despite winters attack
Is important. 1.-THE car owner must
care during freezing and thawing
weather" says G. L. Hedges, who adds:
'The paint of d car is composed Of
three principal parts: First, the foun-
dation or printing coat; second, the
color and, third, the protective coat
The protective coat is a heavy, hard
coat of transparent varnish which pro-
tects the softer coloring base from
the inroads of the weather. If this
protective coat is kept firm, the color
coats will hold their original brill
liancy.
Washing a Car.
"Never try to wash the car out In
the cold. Take it in where it Is mod
erately warm. Then use clear, cold
water. The cold water will have a
tendency to harden the varnish on q
new car, thereby preventing abrasion.
If you use any soap at all, use only a
| limited amount, as free acid or alkali
tends to soften the finish. Soak the
mud thoroughly with a small stream
of water until mud runs off. Don't
rub the mud off. IF mud has frozen to
the finish, keep on applying cold wa
ter until it runs away. Never use
hot water In drying the car avoid
using channels that contains any sand
or grit. If polish Is necessary, use
good grade, then rub off the surplus
"Never allow a car Of fine finish to
stand in a barn or stable where AMI
mails are kept. The ammonia of the
manure will check and ruin the finish
Temperature for Garage.
'Don't keep the garage too hot. This
caution applies to what is probably
the greatest enemy Of the fine body
finish. In an overheated garage the
body of the car expands gradually; If
then, following this condition, the cal
is suddenly exposed to extreme cold
the result is plain. The sudden con
traction In cooling causes the paint tc
check. Bearing in mind this direction
along with those given before, those
who own good cars and have from the
first taken pride in their finish will
be able to drive through the coming
months of severe weather with little
or no danger of damaging this finish

DRIVING OVER BROKEN STONE
Take Short Run at Stretch and Let
Car Coast With Clutch out-Rear
Wheels Relieved.

The best way to drive car over a
stretch of broken stone is to take a
short run at it-not too fast-and let
the car coast over the stone with the
clutch out. Thus the rear wheels are
relieved Of driving strains and of the
resulting tearing actions of sharp
stones on the rubber. OF course, it Is
not always practicable to do this, but
when 1t can be done 1t adds just lit
tie more to the life Of the tires.
