OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take fer
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know Of
has so large SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulfls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer g. Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

RAISING ANIMALS FOR ARMY

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricu1ture.)
In order to encourage the production
of horses suitable for cavalry and light
artillery uses, the United States de-
partment of agriculture, in co-operat-
ing with the war department, has
placed in selected localities good,
sound stations Of proper type and Of
fered mare owners special induce
ments to make use of them. This
plan, made possible by provision Of
congress in 1918, grew out of the diff

curing sufficient number of army re-
mounts. Light horse stock had de-
Perforated, due to the curtailed de-
mand as result of the growing popu-
larity Of motor vehicles, and farmers
had turned their attention to improv-
ing the heavier draft horse.
The plan consists primarily in plac-
ing stations Of merit, registered in the
proper stud books and belonging to
the Thoroughbred, American Saddle,
Standardized, and Morgan breeds in
suitable localities in Vermont, New
Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia,
Kentucky, and Tennessee. Mare own
ers may breed to these stations on the
following terms. The owner of the
mare agrees in writing at the time of
breeding to give the government an OPP
ton on the resulting colt as three
year-old at a stated price, which so
far has been $3.50. No service fee is
charged unless the owner Of a colt
wishes to be released from the option,
in which case it is $25.
This means that practically no
money is invested in service fees. II

cause it does not qualify. The breed
err does not have to pay a service fee
on colt which dies, which is de-
formed, or which is seriously injured,
Only sound mares that approach either
cavalry or a light artillery type are
used. Records taken June 30, 1917,
show that 3,0S9 colts have been pro-
duced since this plan was put in OPP

ing season in 1913.

farmers. The brood mares are usual
ly farm work animals which generally
pay for their feed by doing farm work,
and the colts are brought up to birth
without cost. High-class stations are
available for the mare owners use.
Community breeding, which is of in
estimable value, is encouraged. The
object Of the remount breeding work
is to select for and breed sound horses
possessing quality, stamina and en-
durance which conform to the army's
needs, and such animals will also be
useful for general farm work especial
ly in mountainous sections. While it
is true that the heavy draft horse is
more valuable for most farm work,
there are many sections where light
horses are better suited because Of
their activity, sure-footedness, superb
or lung capacity and endurance.
The governments plan of aiding
farmers in producing army horses is
giving them material as we'll as edu-
cational aid in developing an impor-
tant phase of their farming opera
tons. Good horse power is indispen-
sable to successful farming and good
horses cannot be produced without
good sires. From the agricultural
standpoint alone, the publication says,
the remount breeding work should be
extended to other suitable localities,
to say nothing of the resultant effect
in adding to the defensive strength Of
the country in military way.

HIGH WOOL PRICES

In a recent statement the War
Trade Board declares that no wool
shortage exists, either in the worlds
supply or in the amount on hand in
the United States, Notwithstanding
the increased consumption for mill
tary purposes. The clip in most coun-
tries has steadily increased since the
outbreak of the war.
1.-The price of wool has advanced
in the United States by a percentage
greatly in excess of such price ad-
vances in other countries" says the
statement. "The price in the United
States has advanced 200 per cent
above the pre-war level The price
in England is fixed at 55 per cent in
excess of pre-war prices.
"Cloth manufacturers (in the
United States) have been impelled by
fear to carry abnormal stocks of wool
and to contract with dealers and i'm
porters for unusual quantities for far
forward delivery. Manufacturers OF
clothing have been infected by like
dread, melting the purchase of cloth
exceeding in volume their reasonable
needs.
''The consumption of wool during
1913 will be little if any greater than
it was during 1917"

STRAWBERRIES

Long Beach, Dec. 24.-The mu-

box of strawberries and dozen
ears of green corn. 81 have a mind
to send box of Strawberries back

Former Congressman Malcolm F
