Washington, Jan. .31-About $780,

Director General Hines believes the
aggregate expenditures for extensions

may fall below the $500, 100000 figure.

Germany Will Be Allowed Six

stuffs a Month. g..
CASH BASIS REQUIRED
Herbert c. Hoover Cables From En-
rope That All Surplus American
f. ~ Wheat Can Be Disposed
y ~ Of Abroad. 4.

New York, Jan. 31.-Germany will
be allowed about 100000 bushels OF
breadstuffs month, mostly from the
United States, under the general food
program outlined by the Allies, if she
can pay for it, according to q detailed
statement of foreign grain require
ments cabled by Herbert G. Hoover
to Julius H. Barnes, president Of the
United States Grain corporation, and
made public here. :
Between now and July 1, the state
ment said, France and Italy will take
80,OOO,O0O bushels of wheat and flour
from the grain corporation, while the
Allied governments will take also
about 75,OOO,O00 bushels Of oats. l.
II restrictions are removed on cereal
imports to European neutrals they will
reuire about 100000 bushels OF
wheat, rye or barley, in grain or flour
to bring their bread consumption to
normal, mostly from the United States.
Can Dispose Of All Wheat. 4
Gas we have already shipped from
the United States over 16O,000,0O0
bushels of wheat or flour, the Grain
corporation will easily dispose of all
wheat, with perhaps small carry
over, if any, at the next harvest" the
cable said. 49,.
1.-THE basis Of price of all these
wheat sales included not only the
basic prices paid to the farmer, but
handling and storage expenses of the
Grain corporation. The Grain cor.
poration is, therefore, in strong po-
sition because farm sales are about
equal to it's stock on hand and its
available $150, 100000 capital and the
corporation will emphatically maintain
the 1913 guaranty for which purpose it
was created.
Pork Products for Germany.
1.-THE Supreme Food council, under
military advice, has granted Germany
the right to import 150,000,000 pounds
of pork products per month as soon
as she arranges payment and ship
ping. This and neutral demand should
overtake any surplus of these prod.
ucts in two months after being start
ed; in fact, by peace there will be a
shortage in pork production;
1.-THE re-establishment of new mar
kets and normal trading during armis-
tice is slow and difficult. In order
to get over many of the difficulties
of trading in flours and wheat during
the period of the armistice, the Grain
corporation is establishing stocks for
sale at Rotterdam, Trieste, Constan-\
tinop1e and other points to as large
an extent as the Shipping board can
furnish tonnage"

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
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, land if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. Tho
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisens from tho
blood and, purify it. Wien the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these peisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in the form cf 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 backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
: DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that a certain combina-
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. IF you have
uric. acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
tn and r. viii TIL vor, what IN eat and
how to live 80 that more uric acid will not
form in your system. DR.. Pierce will not
charge for thi advice.
