MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage is a matter of the blood
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem
edy that was used by everybody nearly
30 years ago is still safe and sane be-
cause it contains no alcohol or narcot-
ic. 1t is made up Of Blood root, Gold
en- Seal root, Oregon Grape root
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark-extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by DR.. Pierce
In ready-to-use form and since then
has been sold by million bottles as Dr.
Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery. If
druggists do not keep this in tablet
form, send 60 cents for vial to Dr.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y.
Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for q while, such as
Anuric double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. 1t was first
discovered by DR.. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water does sugar. You can obtain

Aiding the Labor Supply.

The departments of agriculture and
labor through representatives of the
various states cooperating with the
agricultural colleges and other agen-
cies are doing the following things to
aid the farm labor supply, according
to a recent statement of Secretary
Houston: (a) Making a survey of the
farm-labor situation in each COM
munity with a view to discovering
possible SURPRISES of labor in order to
be ready to assist in furnishing labor
wherever it is needed; OBJ assisting
again in shifting labor from COM
munity to community and from state
to state, as in past years; (c) pro-
noting fuller cooperation among
farmers in the same community; I'D
making available, so far as possible,
high school boys in rural districts who
have had experience in farming and
who are not normally regularly or
fully employed in farming operations;
(e) making every effort to see that
there is no obstacle in the way Of the
production of larger supply Of farm
machinery and its fuller use as
supplement to hand labor.

INTERESTED IN GOOD ROADS
Mileage of Gravel and Stone Highways

Great Assistance.

There is widespread and increasing
interest in good roads IN Illinois. The
main travelled highways especially are
wide, well graded and well dragged.
The mileage OF gravel and stone roads
is increasing, and a good deal OF hard

acter is being built. The advent Of
the automobile has done much to make
good roads enthusiasts OF farmers, and

Ascertain If Needed.

W TIE
Ascertain If Needed.
Before training the volunteers some
method should be devised for ascer-
tanning whether there is demand for
the woman workers in the kind of
work they are preparing to undertake.
This information could be obtained
from the state agricultural college and
the state farm help specialist en-
ployed by this department. Great
care should be exercised not to pre-
pare women TO go on farms before
there is an actual demand for their
labor.
After completing the training, the
women should not be sent into the
localities where they are TO work until
some one has preceded them to make
arrangements for their housing and
to determine the basis of wages, etc.
In most instances the living quarters
would consist of a camping outfit, as
such quarters as they might obtain in
the community would be the least de-
sirable of those in the community.
Generally it would be desirable to have
one person in the group who would do
no farm work, but would act as gen
eral chaperOn and matron and would
see TO the domestic phases of their
living and welfare.

PRELIMINARY TRAINING

If it becomes necessary in
case of an acute farm labor
stringency to accept woman vol
unteers for farming operations
other than the lighter ones to
which they are accustomed, some
sort of preliminary training will
be necessary to utilize the large
class of woman volunteers from
the cities who are unfamiliar
with farm work. This article
points out some suggestions and
precautions that should be TAX
en- into consideration in prepar-
ing women for these tasks. The
suggestions given here have been
obtained in a study of this prob
lem by specialists of the United
States department of agricul-
ture, both in this country and
in other countries. Many of the
suggestions are based on the ex-
periences of England, which has
trained and is using 100000
women on farms.

Women should not be trained to go
on farms before there is an actual
and imperative need for their services.
The department of agriculture hopes
that it will not be necessary to employ
women in heavier lines of farm work
than they have been accustomed to
doing. IF, to save the food harvest,
women are needed in the heavier
operations and the development and
training of unskilled woman workers
appears advisable, the following points
should be taken into consideration:
No woman should be accepted who
is not at least eighteen years of age.
The wisest policy would be first to
register those women who are willing
to undertake this kind of work, having
them indicate their previous training
and experience, kind of farm work
they desire to take up, and length Of
time they can devote to it.
TWO Weeks Training.
Before going on the farm, the
women should if possible undertake a
course of training extended over two
weeks or more under a skilled instruc-
tor. This course might be given at an
agricultural or a woman's college, agri-
cultural schools, or on a farm donated
by some patriotic individual as prac-
tice farm. In some instances the
course might be under the auspices
of the extension division Of the agri-
cultural college. Care should be taken
that no institutions are built up to
perform functions that might be per-
formed by. institutions already in
existence.
This two weeks of training would
give opportunity to eliminate those
not physically able to endure farm
labor, and also those whose mental
makeup is such as to make them
unavailable. 1t would also give them
sufficient skill so that they would be
acceptable to the farmers. Such ex-
perience in obtaining woman 1abOrerS
as has been had indicates that the
farmer usually is not willing to take
woman farm workers into his home,
and therefore the women will have to
be organized in units and provide for
their own living quarters This fact
restricts the types of farm enterprises
in which the women will be able TO
engage to such as are very intensive
in character, and highly localized.
The types of farm enterprises of this
kind would be such crops as apples,
peaches, grapes, onions. cabbage, pota-
toes, strawberries, etc. The training
should be such that when the women
went to the farmers they would have
