''H0B0" SAVES A
 YOUNG WOMAN
She Had Brights Disease-Doc. tors Treatment Did No
 Good. She Said.

It would surprise you to hear of the wonderful results accomplished by the Hobo Kidney and Bladder Remedy. After suffering for years with Brights disease, many persons have been com pletely restored to health. One notable case is that of Mrs. P. B. Nelson, of Lake Charles, La. Her story told un- der oath, is that she began ailing in 1913, pot worse and after suffering for six months called upon doctor who said she had a severe case of Brights disease. He treated her three months without avail. Then he rec commended Hobo Kidney and Bladdel Remedy, a preparation that bod in many instances to his knowledge giv- en marked relief. Continuing, she declares that "by the use of Hobo Kidney and Bladder Remedy she is now without pain whatever and has completely regaineG and is now en- toying the very best of health, thanks to Hobo." If vcu are afflicted with any form of kidney or bladder trouble. write to the Hobo Medicine Manufac- utriao Co.,, Singer, La., for a cow of the Hobo booklet.

St. Louis, August 12.-Steamboats that during the days of Mark Twain and since have piled the Mississippi, performing perfunctory duties not at all commensurate with the rivers pos- abilities, are apt to be put to worn to help win the war and will be ang- mented by boats of madern types; by barges and tow boats powerfully pro- pelled and moder1ly equipped, capa- ble of greatly relieving the heavy transportation burdens of the rail- roads.
 The fleet of freight-carrying boats running between New Orleans and St. Louis and on up the river as neces- sity demands, has been designed and the federal government has backed the project with millions of dollars. The Mississippi Valley Waterways asso- citation, representing varied interests throughout the valley, is exercising general supervision of the project.
 Revival of river traffic on a large scale was suggested months ago when freight congestion on the railroads became acute. Business men began to wonder why the broad eXpanse of the Mississippi could not be used to transport their freight expeditiously and the idea took form in an applica- tion to the government for financia. assistance to build and maintain river fleet. The government apprO- priated $8,00O,0O to be expended be- tween St. Louis and New Orleans and $3,60O, 900 to be used on the upper Mississippi, between St. Louis and Minneapolis. These amounts, it is explained, are considered merely ex- pressions of good will and if the pro- jpect gives promise of being success full as many millions as may be need ed will be forthcoming.
 After the general scheme had been worked out by the business interests in various cities, cooperating with government officials, M. J. Sanders of

PARISIANS LIVING
 THE RESTRICTED LIFE
There Are More Things They Can Eat and Do Than Things They
 Cannot Eat and Do.

Paris, August 1.-(CorrespOndence of the Associated Press. )-Paris is of course not the old "gay Farce" of peace times, but it has suffered sur prisingly little from the war when other cities and countries are con- sidered. Pretty nearly everything one needs to live is still available. though in restriqted and Heduceds measure.
 Probably no one but Parisians themselves have been able to keep track of the decrees and regulations governing food and other consump- tion. Americans may be interested to know just how their allies in the great capital. and many country men too-are faring these days. Here is list of the restrictions:
 Meat may not be purchased or eat en for three days in the week, We'd nesday, Thursday and Friday. Not more than 200 grams (two-fifths Of a pound may be purchased on Tuesday so there can be no hoarding, and not more than 100 grams may be served in restaurant on Tuesday.
 Bread is limited to 300 grams (three-fifths of pound) daily for all people between the ages of 13 and 50. An additional allowance of 100 grams a day is made to manual la borers and women in delicate health. Persons over 60 receive but 200 grams daily.
 Flour, pastry and cakes-would-b be as fifty years ago, and if each ate half the amount allowed them in bread form, i. e., 150 grams day, if they are willing to go without bread entirely. Pastry and cake are for bidden.
 Sugar is limited to one pound per month, and half "a. pound to persons over 60.
 Coal for families of one, two or three persons-120 kilos (of 2.2O pounds monthly; families of four or five persons, 150 kilos; of six per- sons or more, 1SO kilos.
 The gas consumption likewise has been considerably cut down, so that he who in 1913 used two cubic meters day may now only use IA meters. Similarly with electricity.
 Petrol, other wise kerosene. and gasoline, for illumination, are permit ted in the following quantities-two quarts a month to persons who have no gas in their homes; five quarts a month for those who cook exclu- sively with kerosene.

cessitates the employment of some
other method of selection. In the
breeding of high producing animals
through several generations it has
been observed that there are certain
characteristics of the conformation
which are correlated with large pro-
duction. These characteristics are
namely: G) Extreme angular form,
carrying no surplus flesh, but in good
physical condition. (2) Prominent de-
velopmenC of the udder and veins. (3)
The symmetrical development of the
barrel with large capacity. After one
becomes familiar with these external
charactcri sites it is possible to select
COWS producing 300 pounds Of fat per
year from those producing $50 paunds.
Tie difficulty comes in picking the ami
NAL that will produce 500 pounds of
fat per year compared to the one pro-
ducing 400 pounds.
The selection of animals by this
method is rather uncertain. Until rec
ords are kept of more animals or some
other means devised for selection, the
selection by type should be used and
it is up to everyone interested in
dairy cattle to become familiar with it.

WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country
Highway as Roller on Field
Also Pull Easier.

Wide tires build UP roads and save
horse labor. They have the same eff
feet upon a country road as roller On
a plowed field. On the other hand, the
narrow tire cuts up a road like disk.
1t has been found by actual test in this
matter that the wide-tired wagon
pulls easier in nearly all cases than
the narrow-tired wagon. In deep mud
on a country road the wide-tired wag-
on pulls 6.2 per cent easier. On the
country road with a thin surface of
Maud or deep dust, however, the mar
row tires pull 40 per cent easier. In
a corn1eld the wide tires pull 30.5 per
cent easier, in a dry alfalfa field 1T
per cent easier, and on a dry country
road 1912 per cent easier.

IMPROVING THE BAD SPOTS
Wet and Soft Determine Load
Farmer Can Carry.

The worst holes in the road always
determine the load the farmer can
market. No stretch of roadway is uni
formly good, because every road has
certain small spots that are usually
soft and wet. These spots cause more
trouble than the rest of the road COM
bined. How these spots are to be i'm
proved depends ON the character of
the soil, and the nature of the coun-
try. Many such spots owe their char
acter to q soft subsoil, due to springs.
Before these roads can be permanent
ly improved they must be under
drained. If a tile is laid in these
places there will usually be no trouble
In the future. The surface Of the road
should then be filled with dirt and
crowned, so any surface water may
run off. If this is done there will be
no trouble from subsurface water.
Many roadways that are closed in
with shade trees are bad. If goodly
portion of the scrub timber along these
roads be removed, the ground will dry
out and no trouble result. If the char
acter of the soil is soft and pliable, so
that it will not pack and remain firm,
new material should be applied to the
surface. The best and cheapest mate
rial for improving roads is gravel.
Where gravel beds are accessible a
days work with a team and wagon
will improve any roadbed permanent
ly. If the soil is very sandy an S-inch
application of clay to the surface will
effect wonders. The road patrol should
spend a considerable portion of its
time in remedying the bad spots in the
road.

FOWLS EAT WASTE MATERIAL
On Some Farms Chickens Pay for

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
Chickens as by-product OF general
farming find much of their feed in the
waste materials that otherwise would
serve no useful purpose. The atten,
ton and labor they require can be CIV
en- largely even by children, and should
not require the employment of addi,
tional hired workers. On some farms
the chickens practically pay for them
selves by their destruction of orchard
and vegetable insects. On others they
help to pay for themselves by their
production of manure, which when
properly used largely Increases tbs
value of the land. Fifty fowls will an.
nually produce at least a ton of ma
nure that can be made as valuable as
comm orcial fertilizer.

LEGUME HAYS ARE VALUABLE
Utilization of Alfalfa or Glover Partly
Solves Dairyman's Prob
lem of Feed.

(By G. E. WEAVER, University Farm.
st. Paul, Minn.)
One hundred and seventy-fve pounds
of good alfalfa or clover hay is worth
as much as 100 pounds Of the ordinary
grain feeds. With the present prices
for feeds ranging from $25 ton for
bran to $85 per ton for corn, the aver
age cost for. 100 pounds of grain is
about $2.75. The cost of its food
equivalent in the form of 175 pounds
of legume hay is $2.15. This much hay
will produce 200 pounds of milk and
effect saving in feed cost Of GO cents,
which is at the rate of 80 cents for
each hundred pounds.
The utilization of such hay partly
solves the dairyman's problem in these
days of high feed cost and milk in
vestigations.

PROTECT YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Snow Should Be Firmly Packed to
Prevent GirdIing by Rabbits
and Field Mice.

The one and two-year old fruit trees,
should have the snow firmly packed
around each tree, grapevine, currant
and gooseberry bush. Unless this is
done, the trees may be girdled by rab-
bits above the snow line and the field
mice under the snow.
Much the better method is to have
each tree and bush wrapped with a
strip of tarred paper from six inches
below the surface of the ground to 20
inches above the ground. Common
brown paper may be used if the bet
ter quality cannot be had. 1t takes
but q few minutes to wrap each tree.
Where the winters are severe and
the SHOWS deep, the tender bark of
the large fruiting trees is often
gnawed. The trunk of the tree and
often the branches have the greater
part of the bark completely destroyed.
Field mice are more destructive than
the rabbits, as they work under the
snow and are much more numerous
