Get New Kidneys {!

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering 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 a 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 minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start. taking
Gold Medal Harlem 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.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous, prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
It 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

or meat would be too costly. The ami
NAL husbandry division of the depart
ment of agriculture will answer re-
quests for information from persons
who desire to raise sheep, and has a
number OF publications on the subject
available for free distribution.
Sheep now cost approximately three
times as much as in normal times.
Good commercial sheep at present sell
for from SIS to $40 head.
In any sheep enterprise provision
must be made for the guarding or fenc-
ing in of the flock, for not only are the
animals prone to stray from home pas
lures, but they are favored prey for
dogs, which annually infiict great loss
es on the industry. Winter care must
be provided for, and feed and sheltered
quarters must be available in cold
weather. Persons who desire to raise
sheep are advised to enter the indus
try with a view of staying for several
years at least. The gross annual re-
turns from the ewes of breeding age
may be expected to range from So to

centage of lambs raised, the weight Of
the fleece and the value of these prod
ucts. The fleece from one sheep av-
erages five to eight pounds and is now
selling for from so to 65 cents pound.
The ewes with good management will
each raise lamb. The. lambs at five
months will weigh approximately 60
pounds and will be worth Is cents a
pound and over. The useful life of a
sheep is about six years.
Flocks of sheep have been maintain
ed in public parks in New York and
Boston, and a flock once was grazed
on the grounds around the Washington
monument in the capital. The use of
sheep in lawns and parks has been ex-
tensive in England. The labor-saving
value of sheep is important, for they
are neat and effective grass cutters.
Sometimes, too, they eat shrubbery and
flowers, but this danger can be met by
a watchful shepherd or other safe
guards.

Inventors Hard at Work.

Uncle Sam granted the first patent
of the present series 80 years ago. Pat
ent No. 1, issued on July 13, 1886, was
for a device to keep car wheels from
slipping. Several years ago the mill
lionth patent was issued, on a pneu-
matte tire, which proves that inven-
tors are still much concerned with
wheels. The constant demand for bet
ter transit facilities is responsible for
the largest proportion of patents. Fly
ing machines at the present time are
the particular object of inventors
minds, and scarcely day passes with
out an application covering some new
and novel type of machine for navigat-
ing the air.

War Horse Still a Factor.

Despite the vast numbers of motor
vehicles used on the European battle
fronts, the horse is still important as
an engine of war. The armies in the
field have already used 100000 horses,
and our new army will require 1,5OO,-
900 more.
Wounded horses are easily handled
They seem to know that the surgeons

Measure Socks With Ruler.

A ruler and not a tape measure
should be used in determining the
length of socks. knitted to Red Cross
requirements.
Feet must be from Ii to 111a inches
long. Socks should not be larger than
standard in one place and smaller than
standard in another. However, socks
that are well proportional are accept

GRAZING WHITE HOUSE LAWN
President Wilson Sets Example Which
Might Be Followed by Owners
of Large Grass Plots.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
When a flock of sheep appeared not
long ago on the green sward of the
White House grounds, a desire to
match the President" in helping to
increase the country's mutton and wool
supply was manifested by many per-
sons whose responsibility covered big
lawns, golf courses and city parks.
Many public parks, golf courses, and
private lawns in the country may be SO
situated that they can proftably be
made to serve as grazing grounds for
sheep. 1t is believed that their use
for grazing sheep would have not only
a sentimental value but practical one.
But owners and persons charged with
the care of such property are advised
to investigate the matter thoroughly
before they embark in the enterprise
Of raising sheep. Sheep raising in
wolves much more than placing the an

length and breadth of the fair common
wealth of Maryland is provided in the bone
dry bill offered in the House of Delegates
Tuesday night by Delegate Phoebus OF
Som erset county. The measure is, so
far as possible, a copy of the West Nir-
glnia law, and has an iron-bound. no.
manufacture, no-salc and anti-s hipping
provisions. However, the obnoxious search
and seizure features of the West Nir-
gInia statute are eliminated
I'm not only putting it in, but We

his measure.
The Anti-Saloon League forces at
Annapolis NAV not come out and openly
father the Phoebus measure. Superin-

non-committal when asked about where
his league stands in regard to it, How
ever, while il is understood that the league
Is not actually urging the introduction
of further dry legislation this session, its
lobby will not by any means lay down
on the proposition rs advanced in the
PhoebuS measure.
