II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have tho Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why>
il is that SO many products that are ex.N
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain--the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy 10
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle Of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. II,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Gently that in New York city there are
a. least 100000 persons more or less

Mean per cent decline. 20 per cent.
The alleged reason for this situa-
ton is the stoppage Of export for
army use abroad and the failure Of
civilian beef consumption to resume
its normal status. The hotel and high.
class family trade are not consuming
the quantities of choice beef which
they used before the war, and the fam.
lilies of moderate income are eating
only cheaper cuts, the price of which
must compensate in part for that of
the cuts for which there is smaller
demand. The fact is evident that
many persons who desire to eat more
meat, especially beef and lamb, are
denying themselves.
No Need for Conservation.
People do not realize that the ne
cessity for conservation of foods, espe-
cially meat, no longer exists, except
as a matter of reasonable economy
and prevention of sinful waste. We
have in prospect the greatest wheat
crop in our history; we had in 1918
by far the largest production of pork
we ever had, as well as great in
crease in our beef, lamb and dairy
production. Yet one sees everywhere
in hotels, restaurants, and dining cars
the "Save Food" signs. which were
such vital influence in the successful
prosecution of the food campaign and
incidentally, the winning of the war;
These "Save Food" signs should now
be disregarded. Consumers are uncon-
sciously working harm to themselves
and to live stock producers by n@w
restricting their consumption of meat.
This situation is a real menace to
the farmer and to the consuming pub
lie as well. Many cattle raised in re-
Spouse to the demand for meat pro-
duction for the army are now matur-
ing, and if marketed on falling mar
ket will cause heavy loss to the pro-
ducers, with the result that declining
production may be expected in the
future. Stockmen do not deserve to
be penalized for their patriotism. but
should be supported by the consum-
ing public in an effort to restore con-
sumption to the normal without delay.

PersonI influence.

To influence others one mnst have
a hearty fellow feeling for them. be
willing to extend helping hand as oc-
casion demands, to cheer, to comfort,
to console. Which means that mag
ination also counts for much in the
exercising of personal influence. The
unimaginative can never be genuinely
sympathetic. Sincerity, common sense,
forcefulness, courage, self-conidence,
decision, sympathy, keenness of mag
ination-these above aught else are the
qualities that need to be cultivated by
all who would draw on the aid of per-
sonal influence In pressing forward to
the goal Of success ,...........

when our population was 35,00OO00
people less than now. The exports of
1918 were treble the three-year pre-
war average.
Europe Does Not Need Beef.
The war is over. In little while
the presence Of American soldiers in
Europe will be a memory of noble
sacrifices. We must not forget that
the principal use for the beef we
shipped over seas in such quantity
was for the men in uniform. Europe,
short of food though it is, does not
need beef from the United States so
much as it needs our pork. The stocks,
OF cattle in the most of Europe have
not suffered seriously in numbers dur
ing the war. Indeed, outside the areas
actually overrun by the contending
armies, cattle stocks have fairly held
their own and in some cases even in
creased. Stocks of hogs and sheep
have suffered much more severely
than have cattle. 1t is also well known
that Europe turned to South America
and Australia for beef and lamb as
soon as shipping conditions permitted.
England and Italy are now buying in
those markets. The United States,
however, is the only large pork sur
plus nation, and Europe, suffering for
fats with her stocks of swine greatly
reduced, can consume our pork sur
plus readily. The beef and lamb now
awaiting market on our farms and
ranges must, therefore, find its outlet
not overseas but at home.
