Get New Kidneys /!

The kidneys are the most .overworked
organs Of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of fltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings, is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; .indiges-
ton; irritation, or even. stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay q minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver.
bladder. or urinary organs start. taking
Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment Is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal. n
You can almost certainly find immedieEs
relief in Gold Medal Haarlem Oil CapsulEi
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailng remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store. and
II 1t does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be
sure you, get the GOLD MEDAL brand.
None other genuine. In boxes, three

A NEW YEAR
SERMON
By
REV. JAMES M. GRAY, DID.

IL A ND now, Lord, what wait
~ | for?'-Psalm 39:7.
~ Another twelvemonth has
almost gone, and we are
yet in the land of the living. If we
give this serious consideration, we
must regard ii as remarkable. Some
think death the strangest wonder OF
human history, but is not life stran-
ger? When we reflect upon our frame.
and the shocks of life it must endure,
must we not eXclaim with Young.
Strange that a harp of thousand strings
Should keep in tune so long!'
Is 1t to be wondered at If, like
David, we too should put the question,
"What wait l for?" The mystery of
being here is not profounder than the
mystery of staying here. Let us ask
God the question. The psalmist felt
he could not trust his own conclusions.
and so he said, Lord, what wait
for?"
1t may be you are waiting to be
saved. God is not willing that any
should perish, but that all should
come to repentance and live.
20 Ephraim, how can give thee up,
how shall leave thee, Judah?" Be-
hold him weeping over the Holy City,
80 Jerusalem, how often would / have
gathered thy children together, as a
hen gathereth her brood under her
wings, and We would not!" He Is so
pleading with some of you today. To
go back no farther than the past year,
has there been no sermon, no invitation
or warning, no supplication or exhorta-
tion, that has appealed to your intelli-
gence, or moved your emotions, plead
ing with you to accept Christ? Have
you lost no friend or nelghbor by death
during that period? Have you had no
escape from bodily peril or no illness
to remind you Of the uncertainty of
life7 Can you conscientiously say that
in all these respects God has left you
alone? Has he done not thing to
stnrtle you out of your false security,
to convince you Of sin, to invite you to
the Savior? repeat, has God left you
absolutely alone? All you cannot say
that he has.
"How long halt ye between two opin-
ions2" God pushes for decision, and
an immediate reply. To-day, If ye will

KEEP LAYING HENS SEPARATE
Not Good Policy to Permit Them to
Run With Fowls to Be Fattened
Because of Feeding.

~ Separate the layers from the fowls
to be fattened, because each requires
different system of feeding. The
layers are to be fed for the produc-
ton of eggs. and eggs contain a large
amount of albumen, and, therefore,
the food of the layers should be rich
in albumlnoids. On the other hand,
the fowls to he fattened are TO be fed
for the rapid production of fat, and
their food must be rich In carbohy-
drates. as fat contains much carbon.

quantities, specially planned drying
racks are used In the combination
granary under discussion.
THIS crib and granary is 20 feet by
80 feet In floor dimensions with q ca
pacity of 2,S10 bushels of small grain
and 3.540 bushels of corn. The over
head grain bin occupies space which
otherwise would be wasted in an aver.
age crib of this character. To give
the building proper height and pitch
of roof to favor the efficient use of
either o stationary or portable eleva.
tor, this otherwise surplus space is nee
essary. 1t is occupied by the overhead
wheat bin. Present-day economical
construction necessitates the use of
high studding in wooden structures
rather than the use of long, sloping
roofs.
A special feature of this corn crib
which has been devised by the ex-
perts Of the rural engineering division
consists Of drying racks situated near
the top Of the crib where the corn
can be suspended for from three to
ten days before being dumped into the
crib proper. On these racks the VEN
| tilation conditions are extremely fa-
vorable to the proper curing of the
corn. Furthermore, the crib is provid-
ed with> removable ventilators which
supplement the shelling trench in the
floor, to provide a correct system Of
air drainage; this combats the ten
dency of moist, damp corn to damage
In the crib. AS the corn Is dumped
from the drying racks 1t falls into conf.
cal piles in the crib, where, over a
wide surface. 1t is exposed to thorough
ventilation and drying before more
corn is dumped on top of 1t. These
racks do not interfere with the maxi
mum filing of the crib. as the outer
rack may be fastened back on the
rnfters while the inner rack can be
raised and the space below filed.
! Any or all of these suggestions may
be incorporated into any crib of sim.
liar design. The expense Of such i'm
provements would be repaid In one OF
two seasons of damp grain. The ventila
tors which are used are readily remova
BILE. while the drying racks are hinged sc
that they can be drawn back out OF
the way. The grain bins are easy tc
install, and they occupy what was for
merly waste space in cribs with steer
roofs and high peaks. Furthermore, {
concrete feeding floor on which corr
may be fed to hogs can be Installed a
the option of the owner. Complet,
working plans and bills of material To-
: this desirable combination granary ant
