RETAILER MAKES BIG PROFITS
Food Administration Advises Mer.
chant to Revise Prices.

Word was received at the office Of
the state food administration recently
that a merchant in a small town was
selling rice at a profit of more than
go per cent On canned tomatoes he
was making a profit of so per cent,
and on corn more than 40 per cent
A proper price was not suggested,
but the merchant was advised to re-
wise his prices on these commodities.
Besides doing everything possible to
prevent profiteering, the state food
administrator also acts as intermedi-
ary in cases of disputes over ship
ments. A car of celery was shipped
to St. Louis from San Francisco.
When it reached its destination the
consignee refused to accept it on the
grounds that half of it was frozen.
In the dispute that followed that car
was tied up for more than five days.
The shipper placed the matter in
the hands of the state food admins
tration An agent in st. Louis was in
structed to have the car inspected and
determine the extent of the damage.
This was done The amount of the
damage. s116, was deducted from the
bill, the celery was accepted, and
the freight car was released for other
service,

THE NEW BOOKS
Pippins and Cheese.

Under the quaint title There is
Pippins and Cheese to Come" are
gathered several delightful essays by
Charles S. Brooks. OF the volume, a
critic in the New York Evening Post
says:
Mr. Brooks has been spoken Of as
having a corner of the mantle OF
Lamb, and that he is one Of the fol-
lowers of Ella is beyond doubling;
but he is unlike the greater essayist
in as many ways as he is like him.
The chief resemblance is in the quail
ity of the humor, and it is for this
that one can accord Mr. Brooks the
most praise. 1t is a quaint, kindly,
an inquisitive, a capricious sense of
humor, diffusing itself through the
pages in warm geniality, Mr.. Brooks
here considers about dozen subjects,
two of which, Pepys at the Play and
The Asperities of Early British Re-
viewers, are a little too formal to fit

best in such rambling meditations as
"On Buying Old BOOKS and "A
Plague of All Cowards," and fair

indeed, when he strikes a more per-

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason il plain-the article did not ful6l
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to q medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, .
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know Of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments. corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

PATRIOTIC TO PROTECT BIRDS
Helping to Save Our Feathered Friends
Means Also Helping Save the
Food Crops.

The work done by birds in saving
food by destroying injurious insects
and weed seeds is almost unbelievable,
but the figures given here are vOuched
for by scientists. For instance:
A scarlet tanager ate $50 gypsy-moth
caterpillars in Is minutes, which Is at
the rate of 2,1OO an hour.
The quail, most hunted of birds, has
no bad habits and eats 145 species Of
insects in summer and 129 kinds of
harmful weed seeds in winter.
A flicker was found to have eaten
1000 chinch bugs; nighthawk. 6OO
grasshOppers; Maryland yellow
throat $500 plant lice in 40 minutes.
The stomach Of a cedar waxwing
contained 100 canker worms; snow
bunting was found to have eaten 1000
pigeon weed seeds. Bob White made
a meal on 5000 seeds of the same
plant. and a mourning dove ate 7.5OO
seeds of yellow sorel.
Professor Beale estimated that in
Iowa the tree sparrow eats S75 tons of
weed seeds every year.
The rObir, the flicker, the thrush, all
found frequently in the game bag OF
the hunter, subsist largely on diet
Of ants, beetles. bugs, flies. grasshOp,
pers, caterpillars and scpiders.

your patriotism by helping save the
