LARGE GARBAGE SAVING

Sufficient grease was recovered
from household garbage collected dur
ing the month of May from IL Amer
lean cities to make the explosive
charge for more than half million IS
nm. shells, besides millions of pounds
of soap and other products, accord
ing to figures just issued by the Unit
ed States Food Administration. The
garbage grease was sufficient to pro-
duce 10000 pounds of glycerine, from
which nitroglycerine is made, and for
which there is a big demand at this
time.
The figures indicate an increase in
the amount of grease recovered over
the same period last year, particular
ly in Chicago, which showed an in
crease well over 200 per cent. The
entire amount of grease recovered is
an increase of 43 per cent. over May,
1917. The returns are from eleven
cities having a total population of
over 100000.
Since the campaign for garbage
utilization has been urged by the Food
Administration there has been an APP
preciable increase in the amount OF
garbage collected for reduction. This
ioes not indicate that there are more
foodstuffs being wasted, but that the
cities are making a more earnest eff
fort to collect all available garbage
instead of permitting it to be burned
dumped, or otherwise not utilized. A
| number of cities which have been
wasting garbage have, taken steps to
install reduction plants, so that the
valuable materials contained in table
and kitchen refuse can be recovered.

Bird Treaty Act it is unlawful to hunt,
take, capture, kill, possess, sell, pur-.
chase, ship, or transport by any
means whatever, or export at any
time, any migratory bird included in
the terms of the treaty, except as per-
mitted by regulation of the Secretary
of Agriculture. In the regulations the
Secretary has not given permission
for the sale of any migratory game
birds except as propagated on game
farms and for scientific purposes. AS
result, the sale of wild migratory
game birds is forbidden throughout
the United States. 1t will be especial
ly worth noting in connection with the
law and regulations that the regula-
tons do not repeat the prohibitions
contained in the law, but note the ex-
ceptions in the way of permissions
authorized by the Secretary of Agri-
culture. Copies of the law and regu-
lations may be obtained of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture.

FARMERS Deferred
PLEDGE CO. OPERATION
Tell the Secretary Of Agriculture
They Are Ready to Undertake
Anything They May BE Call
ed Upon to DO to Help
Win the War.

Washington, D. c.. August 1--we
are ready with a 10 per cent. In
crease of wheat, or whatever else
your department may call upon us to
to help win the war" That is the
message that 1,40O faRmers of Madi-
son county. Indiana, flashed over the
wires to the Secretary of Agriculture
a few days ago.
1t indicated also that men in defer
red classiGcations realize that they
owe a special duty to their country,
for it came from farmers who have
been given the opportunity to keep at
agricultural production. The rest of
the telegram, from II. S. Agster. ru-
raj director of the deferred registered
men of Madison county, said: "Thir-
ty-three hundred men met on Satur-
day and perfected the deferred regis
tered mems organization of Madison
county, Indiana. About 1,400 of us
are farmers. Although our corn was
severely frosted on the twenty-second
of June, we are going to increase our
number of brood sows ten per cent"
Secretary HOustOn's Response
In expressing the gratitude of the
people of the country to this associa-
ton of war farmers, the Secretary OF
Agriculture sent the following tele-
gram:
Men who have been given deferred
classification on occupational grounds
owe a special service to their country
That you are conscious of this special
responsibility is evidenced by your
patriotic action in the organization
of the deferred registrants in youT
country. 1t is gratifying to the De
partment of Agriculture to have this
expression from you pledging increas-
ed food production in face of unfavor-
able weather conditions. Through the
county agents the Department of
Agriculture has encouraged action
throughout the country similar to that
taken in your country"

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills of Maysyllle People.


AS one weak link weakness a chain
so may weak kidneys weaken the
wholebody and hasten the final break
ing-down.
Overwork strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gen.
orally when their activity is lessened
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and Ianguur and
urinary ills frequently come, and
there is an ever-increasing gravel or
fatal Bright's disease. When the kid
neys fail there is no real help for the
sufferer except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys. Maysville testimony is
proof of their effectiveness.
Mrs. Harry Mann, 495 w. Second
St., says: About two years ago,
suffered from an attack of kidney
trouble that had lasted for q long
time. / had dull, constant ache In
the small of my back and the pains
were often sharp. l was also dizzy
and felt tired and langrid. Two boxes
OF Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
l haven't been bothered by kidney
trouble since. l gladly advise anyone
to get box Of Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Chenoweth Drug Co., II trou-
bled by their kidneys"
Mrs. Mann Is only one OF many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II your
back aches--if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy--ask distinctly for D0AN'S
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs
Mann had-the remedy backed by
home testimony. 90 cents at all
stores. Foster-Milburn Co., Props,

Washington, d. c., August 15-Reg-
ulations governing the taking of mi
gratory birds, adopted as result OF
International action binding on the
United States and Canada, were pro-
mulgated by the President of the
United States on July 81. The new
law gives effect to the terms of the
treaty which effecthally protects such
birds in most of the North American
continent, and in the main there are
only slight changes in the law as it
existed before the treaty.
Under its provisions there is no
spring open season and the fall open
season is made more uniform through
out the country. Nevertheless, the
several states have the right under
the terms of the act to make and en-
force their own regulations when
these are not inconsistent with the
Federal rulings, but such State regu-
lations may act only to afford addi-
tional protection to migratory birds,
and not to extend the open seasons
beyond those just promulgated, nor to
autorize methods of taking birds not
sanctioned in the Federal act.
Main Features of New Law
The uniform open season in general
covers the period between September
/ and January 81, with period not
exceeding 31b months for individual
speeies, though there are slight en-
ceptions to these dates and periods,
as the shorebird season in certain
New England and Middle Atlantic
States, which opens August 16 and
closes November 80 The sale of mi
gratory birds is prohibited except of
those propagated under permits is
sued ythe Secretary of Agriculture,
and uniform bag limits are set for the
entire country. Sportsmen may not
ship more than 2 days bag limit in
any calendar week.
At the same time provision is made
for the collection of birds for scien-
tifc purposes, and under eXtraordin-
airy conditions Federal permits may
be issued to kill migratory birds
should they become injurious to agri-
cultural interests
Provides For Game Farms
Liberal provisions are included also
for the propagation of migratory wat
erfuwl on game farms and reserves,
and the sale of birds so bred and rear
ed is authorized as a part of the pro-
gram for increasing the food supply.
This paves the way for building up
an industry which has already shown
possibilities of marked success. Many
species of waterfowl can be profitably
raised in captivity, either on land I'M
suited to farming or in connection
with other farm operations.

PUNY, WEAK BOY

Williamson, W. Va.--"My little boy

The reason Vinol was so successful
in this case, is because it contains
