WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. BY some myS-
ferrous process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes 1t out. If the kidneys are not
goOd-wOrkmen and become congeSted-
poisOns accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
So it is that DR.. Pierce, of the InvalidS'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
n. T., advises washing the Kidneys"
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then if you want
to take harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength), for 60c.
This "Anuric," which is so many times
more potent than lithia-will drive out
the uric acid poisOns and battle the kid
neys and channels in a soothing liquid.
IF you desire, write Cor free mesHcal
advice and send sample of water for
free examination. Experience has
taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is
most powerful agent in dissOlviRS
uric acid, as hot water melts sugar.
Send DR.. Pierce 1Oc for trial package.

Mixing Potato Bread.

the possibilities of increasing the to-
tai yield in this country cannot be
estimated. Potatoes are a perishable
crop-cannot be exported to foreign
countries, cannot be carried over from
one season to another. The potatoes
we grow in this country we must use
at home. The nature Of potato starch
is so nearly the same as wheat flour
that there is no difficulty in using this
combination in bread making.
Last season the farmers of the
United States produced about 10000
900 bushels Of potatoes. About 100,-
100000 bushels Of this crop were small,
irregular, unmarketable potatoes.
I earnestly believe that in no other
way can so great saving be made in
food in America with so little labor
and so small expense as the use Of
small potatoes in the making Of bread
in place of small grains which can be
shipped to our soldiers and the fighting
armies of the allies to help us win this
war.
Baked or boiled potatoes, mashed
or put through ricer, can be substituted
for One-third the wheat flour in any
standard recipe for making wheat
bread, biscuits, pancakes, waffles,
doughtnuts, pie crusts, etc. When po-
tatoes are used, little less liquid
may be required in the mixing.

GOOD WINTER HORSE FORAGE
Feeding Value as Timothy Hay
Alfalfa is Favored.

By A A AGEE, New Jersey Experiment
Station.)
With choice timothy hay quoted at
the present price of $24 to $50 ton,
and with inferior grades at not less
than $50 a ton, other roughages
should be substituted for wintering
horses. Good corn slower (corn fod-
der minus the ears) has practically the
same feeding value as timothy hay and
may be fed to horses with about the
same results during the winter months.
Alfalfa and clover are legume hays
having a still higher feeding value
than timothy, particularly in their
content of protein. The best grade of
alfalfa usually sells at considerably
less on the market than timothy hay,
making it a more economical rough
age on the farm. Alfalfa and clover
when fed as the only roughage have
been known to cause an overexertiOn
of the kidneys because of the high nj
trogen content. However, this Objec-
ton is practically done away with by
substituting corn slower, straw or tim
othy for a part of the roughage. Horses
on heavy work need approximately a
pound of grain daily for each hundred
pounds of live weight.

SENSE OF GUILT IN ANIMALS
Proof That They Know When They
Are Doing Wrong, and Seek to
Evade Consequences.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame in order
to avoid going to military exercise.
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick. After his recovery he
often feigned coughing In order to pro-
cure dainties.
The cuckoo, as is well known, lays
it's eggs in another birds nest, and, to
make the deception surer, it takes
away one of the other birds eggs. Ami
mails are conscious of their deceit, as
Is shown by the fact that they try to
act secretly and noiselessly; they show
a sense Of guilt if detected; they take
precautions in advance to arouse dis
covery; in some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus, bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after their exploits, as if they feared
punishment.
A naturalist describes how his mon
key committed theft. While he pre-
tended to sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation, and stopped every
time his master moved or seemed on
the point of awakening.

Potatoes as Substitute
For Wheat and Any Other
Grains in Making Bread
BY p. G. Holden.

It Is hardly possible TO estimate
from a standpoint of food conservation
the great value of potatoes as substi-
tute for wheat and other grains in the
making of bread.
One hundred million bushels Of
small potatoes will save 100,000000
bushels of wheat About 80 per cent
of the annual potato crop in the United
States consists of small potatoes which
are unmarketable, made little use Of.
practically wasted, almost total loss
to the country. The small potatoes
can be substituted for one-third the
wheat flour used in making bread. Po-
tato bread is better bread in every
way than bread made entirely of wheat
or combination of wheat and other
grains.
The use of potatoes in bread is eco
nomical at any time. 1t is patriotic at
this time; it utiliZes waste potatoes !;
saves wheat and other grain which
can be exported; saves corn, barley
and oats which can be used to produce
meats and fats for our soldiers; gives
us white, moist and wholesome bread
for every meal; does not require ex-
ira work for the housewife, nor change
the usual custom and practices Of the
home; means two and one-third wheat
less days a week, ten wheatless days
a month, four wheatless months a
year.
Potatoes are grown in every section
of the country, found in every home,
are a universal food. Every family
can produce them. Potatoes are an
abundant crop In the United States;

MAKING SELECTION OF A RAM
Animal Should Be Vigorous, Active and

in Makeup.

In selecting the ram, special atten-
ton should be paid to type, mutton
qualities, and denseness of fleece. Quail
ity of mutton is the prime factor in the
farm flock, and should receive the most
attention. The fleece should not be for
gotten, for not only will the fleece be
a source of income, but good fleece
will give a higher market value to the

The ram should be strong, active and
show strong masculine character.

Gold Won by Our Ships
Prosperity Of Merchant Marine
Due to the War
Due to the War

The value Of her cargoes may be
judged In that in her % years of active
| existence there was paid on them at
the Salem customhouse, in import
duties, not less than 100000.
The George was a tiny ship, as YES
sells go nowadays, being only Ia feet
long, yet she proved shining example
in other ways of the glories of the
early American merchant marine. She
had the reputation of carrying the
most intelligent crews to be found any
where-except possibly on certain 9TH
err American ships-and was famed for
the number of men who graduated
from her forecastle to the quarter
deck.
When she sailed on her first voyage
to India, in 1915, hardly man in her
crew was twenty-one years old, yet
each was an experienced seaman, and
nearly every one was navigator.
Of the sailors who served on her in
her long and prosperous career, 10 be-
came captains, 20 chief mates, and six
sevond mates. Thomas NJ. Saunders,
who served on her as boy, passed
through every grade-of ordinary and
able seaman, third, second and chief
mate-and ultimately became her cap
tain.
The case of the George has been
cited as an example Of the beneficial
effect of continued prosperity on ma
TONS merchant marine.
Not less than 1000 men signed arti-
cles in the counting room Of Joseph
Peabody to man his fleet, the various
craft which made 38 voyages to Cal
cutta, IL to Canton, SO to Sumatra, At
to st. Petersburg and 80 to other Eu-
ropean ports.
In the later period of the so-called
clipper ship era of the merchant ma
rine, great profits were made by Amer
lean ships at time when the vessels
Of other nations were grubbing for
charters. This was due to the superior
speed of the American vessels.
The Rainbow, the first distinctly
clipper ship built anywhere, cleared
200 per cent profit on her first voyage
to China, In 1916.
The Oriental, an American clipper
built in New York in 1849, to compete
with the English tea ships, earned
$4,000 in freight money on her first
cargo Of tea from Hong-Kong to Lon
don. Her cost was $4,000.
In the gold rush to California, in
1849 and 1850, many ships earned more
than their value In a single voyage.
Demand for space regulated the charge
for carrying freight, as it does now,
and the top price reached was $50 a
ton.
At this rate the ship Samuel Rus
sell earned $4,000 in freight money
on one voyage-more than her cost.
Some of the charters made in the
earlier period Of the war for Ameri-
can vessels were on such a liberal
basis that the freight money for a
single voyage to Archangel, for exam
pie, paid for the ship making the voy-
age, condition to be looked for, say
the experts, in times Of abnormal de-
mand for cargo space.

0ratOry standpoint, but if you made a
test of the same values by feeding
these foods to human beings you would
End the values varied greatly because
OF the variations of the human or or
Ranlc machinery which handled them.
Starch, for instance, In the cases of
some individuals, passes through the
digestive system without the body as
Stimulating it and obtaining the addition
OF Its heat units. In the cases Of other
individuals, the same thing would hap
pen with beefsteak.
For this reason we must remember,
when advising f08is<uff for a comtnu-
nifty. that what is one mans meat is
another mans poison. Thus it be-
hOoves those who have the power to
regulate foodstuffs for a community to
be liberal enough in drawing up their
lists to meet the demands of the differ
emit capabilities of the digestive system
OF the different individuals. In other
words, one capable of making a ration
81 selection must have a thorough
knowledge of the physiology Of food
stuffs.
The people of the state Of Pennsyl-
'vania eat too much potato. The large
proportion Of starch in the composition
OF this vegetable produces catarrhal
condition of the digestive tract, which
interferes with digestion and leaves the
patient insufiiciently nourished, event
ually over a long series of years pro-
ducing starvation.

Washington.-The present golden
era for American shipping, resulting
from great demand for ocean tonnage,
and the extraordinary profits that have
been made in our carrying trade by
sea, have been shown by research to
De a recurrence Of similar conditions
that have prevailed three times before
Ia the history Of the American mer-
chant marine.
Whenever there has been any extraor-
binary condition to change political
Or economic balances in this or other
great countries, prosperity for shipping
has followed, say experts OF the Unit
I'd States shipping board.
In proof Of this they point to the
great expansion of our foreign trade
following both the Revolutionary war
Rnd the War of 1872, by which the
merchants of New York and New Eng
land were enriched, and also the for
tunes made by American ship owners
following the Mexican war, with it's
resulting great rush of pioneers to
9ae new gold state of California.
bags of vessels in the merchant marine
1a the first three years of the present
.w8r-before the shipping board began
regulating freight charges at sea-are
more interesting than those of the
wealth won by ships owned in old
Ralem, Mass, in the period in which
their owners were developing Ameri-
nan trade with distant parts Of the
earth, following both peace treaties
with England.
IN 1899 the ship Mt. Vernon of
Salem made profit of 100000, four
times her original cost, on a single
Wound trip to China, going out with
sugar, and returning via the Mediter-
Tanean, where she took on silks and
wines for the American market.
The owner of the Mt. Vernon, Elias
Haskell Derby, died while she was on
mis- voyage and left an estate valued
nt 21,000,000, the largest American
fortune to that time.
Salem captains were ever on the
alert for new ventures in those days
OF rich profits. When in 1895 Capt.
Jonathan Carnes of Salem heard by
way of gossip when ashore at BARGE
Iona, Spain, that pepper grew wild on
the coasts Of Sumatra, he noted the
Information carefully. On his arrival
home he impaired 1t to Jonathan Peele,
a Salem merchant, who forthwith fit
ted out the schooner Rajah, and dis
patched her to Sumatra.
The Rajah brought back the first full
cargo of pepper to be landed in Amer
2ca, and her owner reaped the tidy
profit from it's sale Of 700 per cent on
his investment.
Certain ships, known for their lucky
voyages, made fortunes for their own
ers. One famous in the annals Of that
period was the ship George-known as
the "Salem frigate"-which made regu-
lar voyages to the East Indies for %
years, accomplishing q voyages in all,
mnd earned q fortune for George Pea
body, afterward famous as million
aHre phiIanthroplst.
