No Lower Food

Syracuse, N. Y., Feb. 3.-Those who are best informed on agricultural conditions in America cannot offer the slightest hope of lower food prices SC far as the farmer is concerned, according to statement of Sherman J. Lowell, master of the National Grange, made public here last night.
 The statement, after declaring that it was the belief of the farmers of the country that the only way to re- duce the cost of living was for every. one to do "a reasonable days work" adds;
 "This is the declaration of the National Grange, which sees in the future no reason why it's members should slave long hours, seven days week, to supply cheap food to the other workers of the country ,wh1 enjoy short hours and unlimited op- portunity for rest and pleasure Speaking as the largest and best established farmers organization, in America, the Grange hereby notifies the world that the farmers do no' intend to keep responding to the cali, produce, produce, produce SC long as other lines adopt as theil slogan, reduce, reduce, reduce"

First Passenger Ship From Germany
 in ,. Years, Lands

New York, Feb. 3.-The first pas ship to sail from German port to the United States since July, 1914, and the first American pas senger ship in many years to under take a similar voyage, arrived here today. It was the American line steamer Manchuria. She sailed from Hamburg January 9, calling at Southampton, and brought 39 passen- gers, all from the English port.
 Capt Adrian Zeder of the Man. churia said he could have filled his ship at Hamburg with passengers for America had passport restrictions permitted. Many Germans voiced regrets that they could not come.
 It required eight days of "A hours each working three eight-hour shifts to. discharge at Hamburg, the five thousand tons of cargo the Man churia took with her to Germany ships officers said. The delay was said to be due to the listless manner in which the German dock workers moved. The officers said they were low of spirit and apparently suffer ing from malnutrition.
 Food was said to be scarce, but those with money have no trouble getting all they want, ships off cers declared. Five from the Man churia dined at Hamburg hotel ane paid for their meal 490 marks. Or the other hand, a story was told 0. one of the German dock worker: begging from the steward of tht ship a piece of frozen beef whicl he devoured raw.

IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is Sign You Have Been Eating too Much
 Meat.

When you wake up with back ache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to fil- ter it from the blood and they be- come sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces ot lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfas, for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimu- late sluggish kidneys, also to neu- tralize acids in the urine so it no
 onger irritates, thus ending blad- fer weakness.
 lad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is mex pensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia- water drink. adv'

To Put Marketing of Cotton Seed in
 Specialized Base

Washington, Feb 3.-Marketing of cotton seed for planting purposes should be made a more highly specialized industry than it is and the term planting cottonseed" should be made to represent product of infinitely greater intrinsic and pot ential value than ordinary cotton seed or the average planting cotton seed of today, the department of agriculture has concluded after 9 thorough investigation of the subject
 Cotton seed sold annually in the United States for planting purposes 170,000 tons and the cstima ted value in very recent years $20,00O,000. That repre- sents about 31 per cent of the total annual requirement. for planting, the remaining 69 per cent being produced on farms, where it is used. While 10 times as much cotton seed is pro- duced annually as is required for planting, local supplies suitable for planting are not always adequate in every section. The advent of the boil wcevil has resulted in a tenden- cy to cause purchase of increasin!, quantities of early maturing varie- ties from non-infested territory. More or less local damage annually by continued wet weather during the harvest period necessitates obtaining seed for planting from other sections Growing interest in and demand fol
 improved strains and varieties by farmers is another factor.

country clubs would not be permit ted votes out of proportion to their tennis membership.
 Sectional associations will here after be chartered by the national association and will furnish the medium through which clubs in their territory become affiliated with the national body. A club in the west ern or California sections, to which these proposals will first apply, will join it's city association, which is a member of the sectional, the section al in turn being a member of the U, s. N. L. T. A. Other sections which wish to proceed on this plan of or ganization may apply to the annual meeting for charter.
 The new plan for doubles will permit the entry of teams of es- tablished class, without qualification through sectional championship. In the past entry has been limited to the winners of the sectional events Such teams, under the proposed ar engagements, will also be eligible fol the national, and their railroad fare from their section to the national will be paid by the U. s. N. l.. T. A. It Is believed that this method will per init more uniform development ot doubles competition throughout tho country.
 In the call for the meeting the re ports of 30 committees are scheduled These deals with all aspects of the game, from it's promotion among young players to a challenge for tn, Davis cup in 1920.
