SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a 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

in a crib or bin are likely to heat and
thus seriously impair their germinat-
ing power The piles of heads should
be examined at least every two weeks,
and if any signs of heat develop they
should be turned with forks TO fore
stall all damage. Where an open
shed is not available for the protec-
ton of the Kicked heads they may be
piled in the open and coverd with a
tarpaulin or with bundles of fodder
until they can be thrashed.
Allowing seed designed to be used
for planting purposes to be wet by
every rain and snow which comes is
inexcusable even where wet periods
are infrequent and the total amount
of moisture likely to be small. Seed
intended to be used for feeding pur-
poses will not be injured to any con-
siderable extent by a small amount
of moisture, but wet seed, especially
during a season when freezing temper
atures prevail, will be rendered al
most worthless for planting. Freez-
ing temperatures do little injury to
dry seed.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
tie Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and At
Effectiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre TO the hair when faded streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe. i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive-Adv.

prepared by the United States Depart

Good, pure, viable seed of sorgo
or sweet sorghum has been greatly
in demand the last two years and
little ezra money can be realized by
farmers in the sorghum belt if they
will save the seed from their fodder
cially if they have pure strains of
such standard varieties as black am

and go0seneck.

such varieties as COlman. Red y, Col

COS primarily for forage purposes had
best confine himself to some one Of
the first-named varieties.
The Importance of keeping the va
rieties to be used for strip produc-
ton from mixing with other varieties
is strongly emphasized. The sweet
varieties from which seed for future
planting is to be gathered should not
be grown near any other strip or fod-
der variety. Even then the seed
heads should be carefully selected
with a view to trueness of type or
variety.
With fodder varieties one can go
into field of shocked fodder and
gather the seed in paying quantities
by cutting with knife the heads from
the bundles or from the individual
stalks. if the fodder has not been
bound. The heads can be thrown in
piles at the base of the shock, after
the practice followed in husking corn
from the shock, but this entails con-
siderable waste and it is better to
take a team and wagon into the field
and throw the heads directly into the
wagon box. Ii the field has been prop
erly rogued and has ripened uniformly
| it is more economical for two men
TO work together and by means of a
chopping block attached to the wagon
box separate the heads from an en-
| tire bundle at one stroke.
The gathered heads should not be
stacked in the field, but hauled into
the farmyard and piled in long, mar
row ricks in an open shed. Care must
be used in storing the heads. Unless

When an engine refuses to start,
the trouble will, with n very few eX-

What Is the Cause Of

Backache is perhaps the most CONS

from it. Sometimes the cause is OBJ

cause is very often form of catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
of the feminine organs. When these
organs are in1lamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness, I'M
healthy discharges, irregularity, pain
full periods, irritation, headache and
general rundown condition. Any
woman in this condition is to be pit
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for Dr. Picrce's FavOrite
Prescription. which is a separate and
distinct medicine for women.

growths of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that very
purpose. Thousands of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it, and thousands
have written grateful letters to DR.. Pierce
saying it made them well. In taking
Fayorite Prescription. it is reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause of
the trouble. There is but one way to
overcome sickness, and that is to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor

NOT 4 CHANCE FOR GENERAL
 WOOD IN CONNECTICUT IN VIEW
 OPINION OF JUDGE R. |. HEAD

Judge Richard L. Head of Indi- ana, ambassador extraordinary from Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re publican National Committee, has ap- peared in New Haven to sound out the presidential feelings of Connecti- cut and he declares that there never can be an adjustment of the feud be- tween John T. King, Republican packer of Gen. Leonard Wood, and leader of the Fairfield County G. O.. P, and J. Henry Roraback, upstate leader.
 Judge Head seems to find, he says, that there is a growing sentiment in this state for General Wood but he does not believe that he will be able to carry the convention any more than Governor Lowden, who is a favorite in Connecticut with the Roraback- -Ullman faction. He be- lieves that a dark horse will spring up at the last minute and that he will carry the nomination.
 On the other hand he points out that the National Committee is wor- ried over the outlook in Connecticut due to the split between King and Roraback and he says that he does not believe that there is a man liv- ing who can bring the two together
