SAFE. GENTLE REMEDY
 CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil has been standard household remedy for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach trouble, and all diseases connected with the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad- der are the most important organs of the body. They are the filters, the purifiers of your blood. If the poisons which enter your system through the blood and stom- ach are not entirely thrown out by the kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
 Wearibess, sleeplessness, nervousness, despondency, backache, stomach trouble, headache, pain in Joins and lower abdo- men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu- matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you to look after your kidneys and bladder. All these indicate some weakness of the kidneys or other organs or that the enemy microbes which are always present in your system have attacked your weak spots.

Another Argument Gone.

Whether it was ever an argument against woman suffrage or not does not matter. It was, at any rate, an argument often advanced, that if women got the vote, that vote would always be cast against war; that women had no idea of big issues, and that foreign politics must necessarily be field closed to them. One by one, however, all arguments have gone, and so this had to go. And 4,000 girl workers, in a great manufacturing city in Scotland, the other day helped to destroy it. They sent resolution to the minister of munitions protesting, with indignation and horror" against resolution passed by 5000 men threatening stoppage of work unless peace negotiations were entered into. It is one of those facts which need no comment. It speaks for itself.-Mon treal Family Herald.

Uncle Sam Turns Tiohtwad.

The money which you are lending Uncle Sam by purchasing Liberty Bonds, and with which he in turn pur- chases foodstuffs for the boys in khaki, goes much farther than one at first realizes. Formerly all scraplngs from plates and all refuse from camp kitch- ems was burned. The old order has changed. Garbage waste Is now sepa- rated into various classes such as bread, raw fats and meats, cooked meat, cooked grease, bones and other garbage.
 These materials are weighed after each meal, and statement of the weights forwarded to the conservation and reclamation officer in each camp. In this way, the army has an absolute check on wastes of unit kitchens which enables 1t to prevent over-ration- Ing and individual wastage. The gar bage from these separations is turned over to reduction plants, which in turn utilize these wastes for the man. ufacture of nitro-glycerin and for fer tilizers.
