When your kidneys hurt and your back

the vital Importance of keeping the kid

Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass OF water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine.

An experimental kitchen where
substitutes for wheat are being
tested has recently been established
and equipped by the Office of Home
Economics. In this kitchen some of
the good old recipes which were in
use so and rs years ago, when
corn, b%uckwheat, rye and barley
were in more common use, are be-
ing revised and standardized, and
new recipes in which wheat substi-
tutes play an important part are
tested and standardized. A group
of women-laboratory specialists
and house keepers with special train

public it must not only pass the
test of the laboratory specialists
but must also meet the test of actu-
al experience in the hands of a
housekeeper who studies it for its
practical value in the average kit

MERCHANTS WAR SAVINGS DAY

Charleston, May 31.-Friday,
June 21st, has bene designated Mer-
chants War Savings Day by the
South Carolina War Savings Com
mittee. Plans are being perfected
to the end that the merchants in
every town in the state will agree
to invest their total cash receipts
that day in War Savings Stamps.
This will be one of the features of
the great intensive War Savings
Campaign which is to be conducted
from June IA to %, and is expected
to be a memorable event of the

This. plan originated in Camden,

ically entered into a similar agree
ment, and it is believed that the
plan will be adopted nationally.

HOW TO SUCCEED
WITH ALFALFA
NV. "A. .Rowell, County Agent.)

(W. "A. ,Rowell, County Agent.)
Fer great number of years it
has been the opinion of some peo-
pie who believed that alfalfa would
not succeed in the cotton belt 'ex-'
cept on certain limited areas, While
this might be true to a certain ex
tent, it is by no means true with
all soils. Alfalfa will not, of course,
succeed on poor sandy soil. Obser-
walton land experience have taught
me that alfalfa will do we'll over a
very large area of the cotton belt,
provided certain conditions are
made right. I see alfalfa growing
in nearly every section of Abbeville
County, and growing on upland too.
If alfalfa will succeed on upland in
Abbeville County, I am convinced
that it will do well on almost any
soil in the county.
Alfalfa is an excellent hay plant,
giving three to five cuttings each
year, and averaging three-fourths
to a ton of excellent hay at each
cutting. There is no feed that is
so nutritious and palatable as al
falfa hay, there is no crop that will
yield as much feed per acre with
the sameamount of labor. Once you
get it started it is good for years.
| have had farmers tell me that
stock will stop eating cor for good
alfalfa hay. Now that labor is
scarce I believe more farmers
should put in a small patch of al
