Tor centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.

The examination of the political
opinion is not less exacting for being
carried out by fellow soldiers. A Czech
recruit who spoke his mother tongue
well was challenged by his compat-
riots. 'He speaks our language We'll
but his heart is not Czech" they said.
1t was learned that during protracted
business transactions in Vienna he had
lost the fierceness and the intrepidity
of the Bohemian character through
daily contact with the Austrian author

This control has been fraught with
excellent results. Those who have sur
vived the tests Of the assembled judges
have furnished the best war material
and proved themselves dependable in
military and moral affairs.
The officers are also elected by the
soldiers, who trust their leaders with
blind faith, and give them the most
rigid obedience and discipline. Such
discipline the new soldiers of liberty
are taught, by their remembrance of
imperial oppression, to hold essential
to the triumph of their cause.

One coat sleeve was armless, and on

At the first call for soldiers In August,
1914, he FASTENED to the recruiting
office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
its crop ready for harvest, a full

of horses, and wife. The wife should

again in 1915, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness of the farm

stock, and the land ready for 1917

soldier, and wasn't he proud mani
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period Of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women Of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased new
purebred stock bull for $700. Their
herd was last, year Increased by %

Miss r. M. Hillman of Keller, Sas.

woman farmer. She has gone In ex'

1,120 acres. She also owns some OF
the finest Percheron horses in Sas

Washington,-The war gardeners OF
the United States answered Pershing's

Their estimates will be made by the
commission both on the number of gar

'Taking these early figures into
consideration" said Charles Lathrcp
Pack, president of the commission, in
making public the preliminary survey
together with the increased canning
demonstration work being done by the
United States department OF agricul-
ture in cities and towns, we feel safe
in saying the forecast of 1,500,000,0 900

The report points to the early plant
ing season this year, which was made
possible by weather generally favor
able throughout the country. To en-
courage saving the garden crop the
national war garden commission, which
planted a 400-acre demonstration war
garden at Camp Dix, N. j., is offering
$4,000 in prizes for the best canned
vegetables grown in war gardens, with
the slogan Back UP the cannon BY
use of the Gamer"
In nearly every section of the coun-
try there has been an appreciable and
encouraging increase in the number OF
war gardens this year, the commission
announced. This has ranged anywhere
from 10 to 60 per cent. In the Eastern
portions there was failure to note
