SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a 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. II the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you ere doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins 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.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.

FOR UNIFORMITY IN BUILDING
menseIy to General Appearance
Of the Town.

The time is coming when restric-
lions on property will be even more
rigid than at persent, but this will be
much to the advantage of a commu-
nifty. 1t is not sufficient merely to
specify the class or cost of a building
that may be erected on any one lot,
nor to designate how far away from
the street line it must be set.
Restrictions should also govern the
height and architecture of the build
ings on each street Then 1t would
be impossible to build towering resi-
dence of elephantine proportions be-
side of beautiful little bungalow,
and 1t would be impossible to build a
house of strictly Dutch architecture.
Our leading archite IT'S have developed
many pleasing styles of architecture,
but their whole work is frequently
spoiled through the construction of a
home on q street where the prevail
ing architecture is entirely different.
There are streets in the newer sec
tions of the city where many of the
houses in a row are of the same archi-
lecture, though slightly varied in con-
struction. This is the most satisfac-
tory plan, but of course cannot be fol-
lowed out to the letter when a number
of different architects and builders are
working on houses on the same street.

Make Most of Garden.

Live in the garden, If you like, but
by all means live out of the garden.
Every time you take n meal out of
your own garden you save the equiva-
lent in other foods to be used in win
ming the war.
That is one side of 1t.
Every time you take a meal out of
your own garden you save money
good, hard money that can used for
any one of a score of things that would
make the family more comfortable
or for investment il Liberty bonds,
Thrift Stamps and safety.
That's the other side.
And the bedrock bottom of 1t is
that you have a better, more whole
some summer meal than If you had
gone to market and bought a lot of
meat and stuff.
Make the most of the home garden.
Study 1t.
Maybe you already know all of the
delicious ways in whi>l all sorts of

LOSSES DOWN TO MINIMUM
Warfare Mortality Statistics Should
Give Comfort to Those With
Loved Ones at the Front.

Great as the danger and large as
the losses in the aggregate, the indi-
vidual soldier has plenty OF chances
of coming out of the war unscathed,
or at least not badly injured.
Based on the mortality statistics of
the allied armies, soldiers chances
are as follows,
Twenty-Five chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a limb.
VIII live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from dis
ease in the army than in civil life,
and has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to 10 men
died from disease to one from bullets ;
in this war one man dies from dis
ease to every ten from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scathless, the govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.

teal end.
1t Is unfortunate that too many
| school authorities find the recognized
needs of the schools so pressing and
so difficult to get that they fail to see
the necessity of providing the gardens
and grounds that give the schools an
effective environment. AS in so many
other phases of school work the initi-
alive In this has to be taken by out
side individuals or organizations who
supplement the efforts of principals
and teachers by buying additional land
or providing garden facilities for land
already acquired. An admirable ex-
ample of what can be done in this re-
spect is found in the Albert S. Bran
deis school of Louisville. This is a
city grammar school with ample play
ground space, along one end of which
there runs a lovely garden with small

| planting of roses and other Towering
