Three Other Days Given To Ap-

Sunday, June LIST, 1918, was the oc.
casion of the dedication of the hand
some and well appointed new First
Baptist church in this city. 1t is very
possible that no church edifce in the
state is SO we'll equipped for the work
Of a church in a city of this size, as
is the new building just given to the
worship of God and the service Of the
Baptist denomination. All in the city
have watched its building with great
interest and at a very early date we
will give a full description of the
building and a picture, this is impossi.
BILE at this time as the surroundings
have not yet been cleared up and the
approaches completed.
Sunday at the morning service the
Rev. DR.. S. d. Shaw preached the ded'
ication sermon and music was rem.
dered by a splendid choir and Prof,
Christensen's orchestra and a solo
sung by Mrs. II. l.. Button. AT this
service a subscription was taken to
pay off the balance of the building
cost and a ready response from mem.
berS Of the congregation and members
of other churches present more than
promised the amount desired. In the
evening Rev. Earl V. Pierce of Min
neapolis preached and another fine
musical program was rendered. Mr.,
Pierce has again been extended a call
to the pastorate, he having declined
one last year, and there is hope that
he will see his way clear to accept.
Monday evening a reception was
held to all Brookings people and quite
a large number attended at different
times during the evening. A musical
program was given and sherbet served
to the guests. Tuesday evening Rev

'QU|T MEAT # YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful of Salts if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers. 4

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained In
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces Of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kid
neys will 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
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer source Of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking little

The American Face.

The face of the pure American
stocks generally Is high and oval, says
Doctor Hrdlicka, who explains that In
the case of the womenfolk 1t some
times leaves the impression of narrow
ness. In both sexes he found the fore
head well developed, and incidentally
source of pride to many who ac-
cepted this as physical mark Of In
tellectuality, There was prevalence
Of long noses with medium breadth.
In both sexes was found a medium
breadth Of mouth, its averages ap-
proximating those of the French.
The old American Is likewise dis
tingulshed by long ears, longer than
those OF any of the immigrants at Ellis
island except the British. Doctor
Hrdllcka says the face of the original
Americans has retained Its length in
the last generations, but its breadth
is diminishing and the jaws are grow
ing smaller.

Mountain of Honey.

The story of bees adopting the car
cass of a lion as their home Is familiar
to all Bible students. These industrl-
GUS little creatures have often pre-
empted the most novel places for their
homes. Near Los Angeles, Cal, Is a
large area of land known as Grifiith's
park, in which is large elevation Of
rock. This rock is deeply perforated
with holes of various sizes, in which
colonies of bees have seen fit to live
and collect a large amount of honey.
This proves to be case Of community
building in apiarian life. One would
think the temptation great to procure
this large quantity Of honey; but so far
no one has cared to take chances with
the stings Of these interesting little
creatures. AT all hours of the day bees
can be seen flying around their rock
hahitation, storing vast amounts Of
honey.

Order Men to Shear Sheep
To Get Wool to Spin Yarn
For Our SammieS' Socks

You don't know where Akra Is. May
be you were like us, up to a moment
ago when we heard about 1t, imagined
from the sound Of the name 1t was in
Africa, or may be in Italy. Well, 1t
isn't either on the continent or in the
country surmised, 1t is in North Da-
kota, and lies right on the Canadian
line in the great sheep herding belt,
says the Portsmouth Times. In size 1t
isn't much Of place, but for all 1t Is
today luminous as the banner Red
Cross town in the world.
When the war broke out Akra form
ed Red Cross society and all the
women, married, marriageable, old
maids and girls that could ply a needle
worked. 1t wasn't long before they
ran out of yarn. Headquarters couldn't
supply them and committees sent to
Fargo and Bismark returned with the
sad word that no yarn was to be had
anywhere. Were the women and girls
let us not forget the girls-dlsmayed
by this condition, or did they use 1t to
take a "good rest?" Not they. Imme-
dlately they called council of war to
circumvent another German machina-
ton. After due deliberation an order
went forth to the husbands and sweet
hearts that wool must be had or they
would know the reason why. Every
man was ordered to shear sheep or
bring in the clipping Of the average
one to the society. There were no
traitors and no slackers. The wool
just rolled in. The grandmothers got
out their old spinning wheels, spun the
wool and the production of sixty socks
day from sheep to soldier went
blithely on.
The women, God bless 'em, they have
their way because their will Is the
right one.

POTATOES FOR SWINE.
CuIIs and UnmarketabIe Tubers
Can Be Fed to Advantage.
Waste Is Utilized and Valuable Feed
Is saved-Belng Poor In Protein
and Rich In Carbohydrates
They Make Fat.

| (Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
Although the feeding Of marketable
potatoes to hogs Is Improbable un'
less corn is worth four and one-half
times as much as the potatoes, the culls
and other unmarketable potatoes
usually can be fed advantageously, no
matter what the comparative price of
corn. At such times as the present
when corn is high and potatoes plenti-
full. the feeding of culls to hogs is espe-
cially desirable. A waste is utilized and
more valuable feed is saved transpor-
tation charges on poor product are
saved; and the potatoes marketed
bring higher price than they would
IL the small ones were included.
Potatoes resemble corn in compost
ton, and this is especially true Of
sweet potatoes. Both corn and pota-
toes are poor in protein and rich In
carbohydrates, thus they make fat
rather than bone and muscle. The
potatoes should be boiled or steamed
until they form mealy mash, which
should be mixed with some other feed
such as corn meal, shorts or bran. Only
enough water should be added in the
cooking to prevent burning and to
make thick mash. While some po-
tatoes may be fed raw to add succu-
lence to the ration, they should be
given only at intervals and In small
quantities Too many are likely to
cause scours.
A potato ration should be supple
mented with feeds rich In nitrogen,
such as old-process linseed-oil meal or
fresh meal. Where sweet potatoes are
plentiful and cheap combination with
gluten meal and skim milk makes a
good ration.
In one case Of experimental feeding
shoats made one pound Of gain for
each 3.13 pounds of grain when they
were allowed to do their own harvest
Ing of raw sweet potatoes. Sweet po-
tatoes are said to be the best root
crop Ior pigs Tor 1all and winter graz
Ing In the cut-over pine lands Of the
South.
The meat Of potato-fed hogs is equal
In quality to pork from a grain ration
but the latter is likely to carry a
greater finish. After cooling there is
no appreclable difference in flrmness of
the carcass between a potato-fed and
graln-fed animal.

YOUNG COLT NEEDS SHELTER
Al Night Animal Needs Protection
From Cold and Storms-Allow
Liberty Next Morning..

When the nights become cold and
frosty the young colt should be shel.
tered each night, but allow 1t its lib
erty again the following morning. 1t
never pays to conflne colt unneces-
sarily, us It needs lots Of exercise,
fresh air and plenty of good feed In
order to develop bone and muscle and
to grow into large shapely animal.
Half of horses growth is made dur
ing the first twelve or fifteen months
of its life, hence during this period
the aim should be to secure uniform
and proper development of all the
parts Of the young animal, Keep the
colt In thrifty, growing condition
every day during Its first winter. Feed
literally 1t is costly economy to stunt
the colt by stingy feeding, The grow
ing colt should never be In high flesh,
however, but just in good growing

LEGUMES FOR A DAIRY FARM
Dalryman Who Raises Abundance Of
Roughage Establishes Basis for
Economical Ration.

The dairyman who raises an abun-
dance of legumlnous roughage estab-
fishes basis for an economical home
grown ration which makes 1t unneces-
sary for him to purchase proteln-rlch
feeds. Good, properly cured hay from
any of the common legumes has a
high percentage Of dlgestible protein
An acre of good alfalfa furnishes
twice us much protein as a ton Of
Bran four times as much as a ton of
corn meal, and nine times as much as
an acre of timothy, When the ration
consists of an abundance of sllage
and good legume hay cows Of mod
crate production often require but lit
tie grain. Cows which give more than
25 or 80 pounds Of milk daily require
the addition Of concentrates If high
production Is to be maintained. In
view of the probable shortage In
grains all dalrymen should make every
effort to provide an abundance of
leguminous hay by growing legumes
suitable to their soils and sections.

BAD TIME FOR HOG CHOLERA
Nation Cannot Afford Loss Involved In
Burning $16-Hogs That Have
Died OF Cholera.

Burning $16-hogs that have died of
cholera is no pleasant duty. The na.
ton, moreover, cannot afford the food
losses in this country of more than
S32 100000.
Every hog raiser can aid in prevent
ing so great a loss from cholera recur-
ring this year. Keep the hogs healthy.
Clean pens, clean -'ster and right
feeding increase the nvg's resistance
to disease.
Effective control of hog cholera re-
quires more than individual effort. 1t
requires neighborhood cooperation.
When cholera appears in vicinity all
hogs on neighboring farms should be
promptly treated with serum or serum
and virus.
Quarantine Of the premises where
there Is cholera or where herds have
been double-treated should be en-
forced for reasonable time. Hogs
dying from cholera should also be
quickly burned or buried, and thor
ough disinfectlon made of the yards
and pens before the quarantine Is re-
moved.

SOME SILO SAYINGS.

"Save the grain" is the motto
now,
Using silage to feed the COW.
Stave off the high costs Of
dairy feeds with a stave silo.
Don't be satisfied with the alb
stract idea Of having a sllo;
make 1t concrete. 1t can't rot
out, blow down or burn up.
You like canned fruits and
vegetables during the winter.
Sllage, says the United States
department of agriculture, is the
dairy cows canned stuff.
If you feed only the ears you
lose nearly half the food value
In the corn crop. Turn the
leaves and stalks into silagc and
save that 40 per cent.
After oil Is said, the fact re-
mains that the two necessary
war foods are bread and milk.
For winter milk production
nothing equals the silo.

PROPER SEEDED FOR GRAIN
Soil Should Ee Mellow and Well Pull
verized About as Deep as the Seed
.s ls Planted.

The ideal seedbed for sowing small
grain should be mellow, but well pull
verified about MS deep as the seed is
planted. Below the depth at which
the seed Is planted, the soil should be
firm and well settled, making a good
connection with the subsoil, so the wa
ter stored in the deeper soil may be
drawn up by capillarity into the sur
face soil. The firm soil below the
sproutlng seed supplies the necessary
moisture while the mellow soil above
favors the upward growth Of the
young shoots In the air and sunshine.
