Mr.. pavison,s Announcement.

AS Henry p. Dnvison, chairman of
the war council, said in announcing
the organizations after-the-war policy:
Always, as heretofore, any plans
adopted will assure complete
ton with the respective governments
n with any agencies with whom re-
lations may be established.
What the future is to be, no one
can say. But that there will be an an
pealing cry of humanity from all over
the world, no n can doubt. The
needs of France, Belgium, Italy, Rus
STA and the Balkans will not terminate
with the formal declaration of peace.
A hard winter is ahead. Exposure and
the hardsh1ps of war and the dislo-
Gated industrial conditions of the
world have produced hunger. want and
disease.
Politically the outlook for a new
and better world is bright, but the
economic conditions are ominous.
There will be such distress in the
world that it cannot be met by volun-
tary organizations. Governments them
Selves must bear the chief burden. and
l am confident that cooperation be-
tween the governments may be relied
upon in an endeavor to meet this
wholesale work of relief which will be
needed.
I'm addition to this, there will, how
ever, be the necessity and opportunity
fol. supplementary work which Red
Cross organizations throughout the
world can do, should do and must do.
Certainly the women of America,

tiers, and the women in other countries

used for Matching goose eggs must be
busted with insect powder and have
good attention, as, in the case of
geese, the period of incubation is long
er than in that of fowls. Goose
eggs may be Matched in i~ncubators
and the goslings successfully raised in
breeders, although this is not a COM
mon practice.
The period of incubation of goose
eggs varies from % to 80 days. Mois-
ture should be added to the eggs aft
er the first week if set under hens or
in incubators; this is usually done
by sprinkling the eggs or the nest
with warm water. Four to six eggs
are set under a hen and 10 to ID under
a goose. They may be tested about
the tenth day, and those which are in
fertile or contain dead germs should
be removed. They hatch slowly, espe-
cially under hens, and the goslings are
usually removed as 500 as Matched
and kept in a warm place until the
process is oyer. when they are put
back under the hen or goose. Some
breeders who hatch with both geese
and hens give all the goslings to the
geese. Hens with goslings may be
confined to the coop and the goslings
allowed to range. The latter, espe-
cially If the weather is cold, are not
usually allowed to go into water until
they are several days old. In mild
weather the hens are allowed to brood
the goslings for from even to ten days,
when the latter are able. to take care
of themselves. Good-sized growing
Goops. with board floors, should be pro-
vided for the goslings, and they must
be protected from their enemies, and
given some attention when on range

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have a duty
of vital Importance to perform, and il they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in the form Of urate salts-in the feet,
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
s~ciatica and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that a certain combina-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. He found this
combination to be harmless, so that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles, don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat and
how to live 80 that more uric acid will not
form in your system. DR.. Pierce will not
charge for this advice.
