Better Sires

The following are the outstanding ? features of the national crusade for the improvement of all classes of live stock by the use of better sires: Plan simple enough to be easily fol- lowed.
 Federal departments chief interest will be to reinforce work of states and counties, not to concern itself with local details.
 Departments energies mainly along educational lines, although many sug- eestions of legislation against scrub sres have been made. fa s Plan includes every one who keeps any kind of domestic live stock, from the hoy or girl with few chickens to the extensive ranchman or breeder of live -- stock.
 Scrub pure bred sires as well as com mon scrubs should be eliminated.
 Feeding and care fully as important as good breeding.
 Local agricultural leaders in every community to decide whether campaign shall be intensive or conducted slowly.
 Department to keep records of progress by counties and announce results period icaIly. States to be furnished with rec eitis, which. they may keep as they de- sire.
 Fmblems to be furnished keepers of ptre-bred sires of good quality in all their classes of live stock an official rec ognition of meritorious effort, but not a guarantee of the quality of live stock.
 Emphasis on the use of good pure- bred sires rather than on ownership.
 Individual benefits and more efficient production to be stressed, rather than in creaseG number of animals.
 Each county to follow it's own ideas as to the kind of stock it's farmers should keep.
 Farmers who do not care to take part ,rlra fr I lat
 The plan of campaign interferes in no way with any work in live sto<k im- provement now being conducted, but makes all the work more definite and effective by providing official reoogni- tion for progressive breeders.

When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off. the body,s urinous' waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from bsckache. sick headache. dizzi- ness, stomach gets sour. tongue coated and YOU feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. --
 Eat less meat. drink lots of water also get from any pharmacist four ounces Of lad Salts; take a tablespoon ful in a glass of water before break fast for a few days and your kidneys win then act fine. This famous salts;ls made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean ciogged kidneys and stimulate them tc normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer Is. source of irritation. thus ending plad- der weakness.
