M'KELvIE TELLS
ATTITUDE UPON
CIGARET LAW
Governor Says He Will En-
force Present Statute $50
Far as 1t Can Be
Enforced"
From a Staff Corresnondent.


Lincoln, March Ex-Governor
McKelvie does not think the pub
lie sentiment in Nebraska will back
him in an attempt to prevent men
of mature years from smoking ciga-
rets. He so announced his attitude
Wednesday, replying to questions
of newspaper men.
The fact that the present state
law which prohibits the sale or
giving away Of cigarets to Or by
any person or corporation is not be-
ing enforced was one of the argu-
ments made by the advocates of
the Mcleod bill, H. R. No. POI, for
its passage. The Mcleod bill pro-
vided for the licensing of cigaret
dealers and legalized the sale TO
adults, but provided severe penal
ties for selling or giving to anyone
under q years of age.
Those who antagonized the Nc
Leod bill claimed that the present
law could be enforced if public Of
hcers would do their duty. Miss
Lucy Page CASTOR called on the
Lincoln city commissioners last
Monday and asked them to see that
the law is enforced here.
Governor McKelvie said that he
would enforce the law so far as
it can be enforced" He added, that
in his opinion, 1T cannot be eff
fectively enforced because public
sentiment is not strong enough on
the question"

PLAN THE WAR GARDEN NOW
More Food Than Ever Before Should
Be Raised by Amateur Growers
This Year.

The ending Of the war has placed
additional obligations on the American
people. We have not only our friends
the allies to feed, but our former enc
miles must also be kept from starva-
lion.
The larger part Of the people Of the
evacuated regions are destitute; they
must have food and this country Is
the only place It may be had In suf-
fcient quantities. This means that
we will be asked to get along with less
meats, fats, grains and sugar and
make up the difference with things we
can grow in our own gardens. The
home gardens of America must be re-
lied upon for larger proportion Of
our living than ever before.
Potatoes, beets, carrots, peas, corn
and tomatoes are among the most i'm
portant garden crops from food
standpoint. Radishes. lettuce, onions,
cucumbers, turnips, squash. cabbage,
eaulifower, spinach, parsnips, egg
plants, peppers, ETC., add to the va
riety.
Potatoes. peas, beets and carrots
can be planted almost as soon as the
rost Is out Of the ground, and then
can be followed by the more tender
crops as soon as the ground has be-
come reasonably warm.
When there is sufficient room an
asparagus bed should be planted, also
HUBBARD and the small fruits. particu-
larly raspberries.
Larger grounds afford room for
grapes. blackberries. currants, goose
berries. Strawberries and possibly q
few apples, peaches, pears, cherries
and plums land the children especial

fruit.

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 duty
Of vital Importance to perform, and II 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 ID 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,
sciatica and backeche. Finally. come stone
in the bladder. diabetes and Bright's dis-
ease.
DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo. N. r., in recent
years, discovered that certain combine
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 a
hot coffee dissolves sugar. II you havs
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 be win tell you what to eat and
how 10 live 20 that more uric acid win NOT
form IN your system. Dr.. Pierce win not
