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
and urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals often
lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, so
many people say, soon heals and strength
ems the kidneys, is splendid kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound, has gentle heal
ing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
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
ment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

man, woman and child with about 21A
pounds year, which is equivalent to
3 per cent Of the amount Of sugar they
consume in normal times. Thus there
is ample room for expansion of both
the production and consumption. The
present use of honey in the home usu-
ally is as substitute for jellies, jams,
and strip. 1t is little used in domestic
cooking or baking, but this use should
be increased. While honey within re-
cent years has sold at prices sufficient
ly low to justify it's use as substitute
for sugar, it is rarely used in CONNER
cial food manufacturing except in the
making Of certain cakes which must
be kept moist for considerable time.
Usually, however, the supply of honey
is so inadequate that most of the crop
can be used as a spread for bread.
With the use limited as it is. many
people in the United States rarely eat
honey, but 1t is evident that there
might be developed ready sale for
honey as supplement to sugar, if
production were increased many times.
The amount of nectar secreted by
the untold myriads Of flowers, from
which bees make honey, is large be-
yond our comprehension. The total
amount Of sugar in the nectar greatly
exceeds the amount of all sugar and
other sweets consumed by the Ameri-
can people. Unfortunately. from the
standpoint of man, this sugar cannot
all be collected and utilized as human
food Even the honey bee. which is so
often used as an example of industry,
consumes for it's own food the larger
part of all that it collects.
Beekeeping is, therefore, the means
of saving for human use small frac-
tion Of the vast store of sugar secreted.
But the raw material is free and its
conservation costs only small ex-
penditure for equipment and relatively
little in labor, and the honey crop could
be increased 10 or even 20 times with
out increasing the cost of production
per pound to an appreciable degree.

LIMESTONE FOR SOUR SOILS
Farmers Have Been Too Slow In Ap.
preciatlng Its Value-Aids Manure
and Fertilizer.

Ground limestone Is the greatest
known aid to bigger, better crops.
Farmers have been far too slow IN
approaching its value. Only ten years
ago, not more than a few hundred
tons of lime were used in this country
annually. At the present time the
yearly tonnage has mounted up to the
million mark, but even this is too lit
tie, by far.
It has been said that one acre in
every three of arabic land In this coun-
try is sour. Authorities claim that
lime is badly needed all over eastern
Ohio. Nearly every acre of land In
New England is in need of lining.
Also the land of the Atlantic and Gulf
coast plains. In Wisconsin, four-fifths
of the land In the state needs it badly.
Even in the heart of the corn belt, the
richest land in the world, farmers are
turning to the use of lime to grow big
crops Of corn and wheat. Every acre
of sour land in the country badly needs
and should have two to four tons OF
ground limestone applied.
Surely if every farm in the garden
spot of America (the corn belD finds
1t profitable to use lime, 1T will pay
men In less favored sections of the
country.
Not only is lime good In Itself to
sweeten sour farms. bat It helps ma
nure and fertilizer make good crops
by liberating other vital plant foods.

He Plainly Shows Why You Should
Buy a Liberty Bond.
Lusitania Stoker, Injured in Service,
Three Brothers and Mother Killed
by Huns, Still Fighting.
BY ALICE AVON.
OF the ViuiIantes,

VI never went to school day in my
life and l never thought !. would be
able to speak in public. But when you
lose three brothers "Over There" and
have your mother killed by those Ger
man devils i'm the streets of London,
well, / guess you can do more than
you ever thought you could. And this
war certainly woke me up!"
Thus speaks Tommy Ray, stoker Of
the Lusitania, in his talks to our boys
"Over There"
"See this ARM" says Tommy, indi-
eating his right, swell hurt it for
good in the stoke hole and on account
of my operation they won't let me
fight. Can you imagine that? Not
let an freshman fight? Well maybe
they can't let me fight but they can't
stop me from talking, and now that
know / can talk, even though l never
went to school day in my life, be-
lieve me, I'll talk. And I'll get every
mothers son of you to volunteer and
lick those German devils Over There :"
Tommy means it too. He even
promises all the recruits he gains, pass
ing the examination, three months to-
bacco in advance, q dollar a week,
newspapers and magazines. And after
that he intends to keep right on talk
ing. Let's help him. Even if we can't
supply tobacco in advance, or period
icals, we can talk. Not narrow mind

talk about If so and so did so, would
do so too, or even about what you
would do if you were Over There or If
you were in President Wilson's place.
Remember that every building must
have firm foundation if it would
brace the elements, every head must
be on strong shoulders to bear itself
erect. And SO, we the fighters for
Principle, for Justice, for Liberty and
Democracy must be the shoulders for
Mr.. Wilson's head.
Let's talk. The best thing to talk
about now. Talk that will help.
mean, help Uncle Sam. Help you and
me and all those "Over There" Let's
talk for the Third Liberty loan. Uncle
Sam will appreciate your giving, if it
be the buying of many bonds or the
buying of only one at $1.O0 week.
And above all remember that you are
only investing your money and at Az
per cent too. And the investment
spells freedom for the world, so invest
and keep right on talking.

If AMERICA LOST THIS WAR
By HiLDEGRADE HAWTHORNE.
OF the Viqilantes.

Have you, yourself, sat down to con-
slider soberly what it would mean II
Germany, and not we, should win the
war?
With the war won, she could hold
over us the threat of invasion-and we
know what invasion by the Prussians
means. But, beaten, we could not pre-
vent such an invasion, even though In
the long ending we might manage to
drive out the invader, for the country
is great. But if we did do this at last,
picture what the country we love
would be reduced to first. Stare at
the war pictures from France and Bel
GUM and the invaded portions of Italy,
and you won't require much effort OF
the Imagination to visualize your own
town or village or peaceful farming
country under the Prussian heel.
If we, incapable Of resisting inva-
sion, yielded to the Prussian demands,
what would these be?
Germany wants much after the
wasting of four years or nearly that
of war. We should have to repay her
her losses by huge indemnities, which
would put a staggering burden on all
of us. We would live under a threat,
a threat from the most brutal nation
the world has ever known. If we
bowed to that threat, and beaten ma
ton must bow, then the very spirit OF
America, all we mean by the word life
as we interpret it, would lie murdered.
Better that we ourselves should die
and our children with us. The hope Of
our fathers, the work Of US all, this
nation, our individual character and
freedom, all ended. The price of Lib
erty has been paid by this nation twice
before. To fail now-to fail now
Shall our noble dead have died in vain,
and we bow to the oppressor? Or
shall we bring freedom fully to earth
at last, and with the soldiers of our
great allies see the dawn of tomor-
row whose foundations were laid in
Yorktown and Appomattox, by men
whose blood runs In our veins, whose
hopes and beliefs are our own?
Think of this when you are asked
to buy Liberty bonds or Thrift stamps.
