HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No MaysVille Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore

DANGER SIGNAL NO. ! comes
from the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are weak.
Well kidneys eXcrete clear, amber
fluid. Weak kidneys send out thin,
pale and foamy, or thick, red, III
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, suggest
weak kidneys and warn you of the
danger of dropsy, gravel and Bright
disease. In that case Doan's Kidney
Pills have been endorsed by thous-
ands. Here is statement of nearby
resident:
Jas. M. Newton, Gum, ST., Aberdeen,
Ohio, says: IL have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills of and on for several years
and have been greatly benefited.
Whenever my back has been weak or
when my kidneys have been too fire.
quent In action, have used box or
80 OF Doan's Kidney Pills, which |
get at Wood & Sons Drug Store, They
have always relieved me in a short
time"
The above is not an isolated case,
Mr.. Newton is only one of many in
this vicinity who hay gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's. II your hack aches-if
your kidneys bother you, don't simply
ask for kidney. remedy-ask distinct

SUGAR REGULATIONS
wall Street JournaD

New regulations have gone into eff
feet for the distribution of sugar. The
different classes of users are divided
into groups to whom priority is to be
of their relative importancef Dis
tribution by manufacturers and
wholesalers is strictly regulated, and
dealers are limited to a thirty days
supply. Aside from the housewives
canning requirements, individuals ars
asked to limit their consumption to
three pounds per month.
These regulations are necessary be-
cause the supply available for the
next six conths will no more than
adequately provide for the army and
navy and keep up the small Allied ra-
ton. Some sugar has been lost by
submarine sinkings, the domestic crop
shows no increase, and some of the
world supply is, like the wheat in
Australia, unavailable for want of
shipping.
If anyone feels disposed to grum-
BILE at this regulation, he should re-
memflher that at present we cannot
have things just as we want them.
The Food Administration did not Gre
ate the present condition. Germany,
and Germany alone, has brought it
about, Every deprivation caused
through this war comes from that
source. In order to prevent Germany
from making conditions still worse,
this new regulation is made as a war
measure In asking the individual to
use rs per cent less sugar for the next
six months, we are still allowed dou-
BILE the amount our Allies receive.
People should appreciate the fact
that there is no rationing to save SUI
gar. The request is entitled to as
whole-hearted support as the appeal
to buy bonds or give to the Red Cross
or any war work, If any person can
get along with less than three pounds,
it is a duty to do so. When we know
that sugar is not only an energiZing
food needed in the war work, but is
also necessary in the manufacture of
explosives, 1t seems sin for any per-
son here at home to waste or unne-
oessarily consume a single ounce of

CORN STRIP FOR CANNING

Washington-Corn strip may be
used in canning and in making jellies,
jams and marmalades and fruit but
tiers, according to specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Varying amounts of corn strip
are used with sugar. The strip gives
a modified flavor to products so it
should be tried out in small quanti-
ties at first to suit the family taste. 1t
combines most satisfactorily with
strong favored fruits such as pineap-
pie and cherries. The amount used
most be determined by the kind of
fruit and the strength of the sirup.

NOT WISE ABOUT CsTRlCHES
Scheme Devised by Soldier Who
Wants a Mascot.

The machine-gun sergeant at Doug
las who wants an ostrich for a mas
cot and is willing to hatch it himself
if somebody will provide him with an
egg, does not know much about os-
triches or the task in which he pro-
poses to enlist, in the opinion Of the
Arizona Republican. If he gets the
egg and is not otherwise restricted, he
might as we'll be mustered out of the
service. The Germans will be at peace
so far as he is concerned.
He has perhaps been misled by
stories he has heard Of the careless,
irresponsible way in which the ostrich
race is perpetuated, by the laying of
the egg in the sand, where it is left to
it's own devices until it becomes an
ostrich. That may happen in Africa,
where there is plenty of sand and heat,
but it will not work in the climate of
Douglas, where, though there is no
lack of sand the sun cannot be count
ed upon to assist in the business of
incubation. The sergeant would have
to go to setting.
Moreover, the ostrich is bird OF
slow growth. It would be a long
time before one coming forth from
the egg could become potent influence
in the struggle between autocracy and
democracy. By the time it would be
in readiness to be taken to Berlin the
war would be over and only historians
would yet be talking about it.
We would recommend some other
kind of mascot, one of quicker though
even of less sturdy and magnificent
growth.

GET SALT FROM SEA WATER
Old Method Of Obtaining Necessary Of
Life 10 Still Practiced in
Various Places.

The use of salt for seasoning and
preserving foods is so ancient that
the earliest written records refer to
it, says writer in Popular Science
Monthly. For many centuries prac-
tically all the salt used by the human
race was procured by the evaporation
Of sea water.
This method of obtaining salt is
still employed in many localities where
the conditions are favorable. A flat
stretch of sea coast and hot and
dry climate are necessary If salt is
to be got from sea water. An ideal
locality for this industry is the coast
on the Bay Of Cadis, Spain.
The sea water is allowed to collect
in shallow basins, barely above high
water mark. AS the water evaporates
the various salts contained in the sea
water crystalline out and form crust,
which is removed and shoveled in
small heaps. There the salts undergo
the first stage Of publication.
The edible salt is drained from the
other salts, which constitute the great
er part Of the impurities. The edible
salt crystallizes out first, while the
other salts retain the water and form
concentrated brine which is allowed
10 run into bitches dug for that pur-
pose.
The partly purified salt is then gath
cred into large heaps. Occasional
rains wash out the more easily soluble
impurities, and the hot sun dries the
salt on the surface of the pile. Al
though it still contains about Is per
cent of impurities it is shipped in
large quantities without further REIN
ing.
