Do menstrual periods make you a stay-at-home certain days of every month? They needn't! And you need not endure one pang of pain if you'll accept the assistance of Midol.
 Midol makes menstruation an in- cident! No pain, not even discom- fort, is necessary now. Women who used to have th cry hardest time have found this to be true. Midol is a marvellous product; the work of specialists. It is not a narcotic. But it stops all pain in five to seven min utes. Taken in time, the pain never starts. All drugstores have Midol, in aluminium pocket case for fifty cents, so it's folly to sufferi

 Any stuGy nose from a cold that does not clear up in few days produces Sinus trouble Some Sinuses as large cavities in the nose, others are small (like honey.comb), and when q cold gets into them it causes pain, or pressure in the eye balls, over eyes, in temples and back of head, funess in ear, and mucus drop ping in throat. This leads to tickling cough, sore throat, head noises and catarrhal deafness, due to improper drainage. To clear this up vaporize CAMPHOR0lE, and inhale according to directions
 CAMPHoROLE opens up the nose, and gets into the Sinuses, killing the germs that multi. ply by millions in those stutfy cavities. reduces tine unframed swollen mucus membranes. and gives good drainage for the discharge.

Feeding Meat Animals
Profitable Side Line

In several counties in New York
state, especially those within 50-mile
radius of Buffalo, the feeding Of west
ern-raised lambs and steers during the
winter is proving a profitable side
line. 1t has the big advantage of
distributing labor more evenly through
out the year, uses up coarse roughage,
and provides manure for farms which
do not maintain a dairy.
It Is a somewhat hazardous enter
prise, however, subject to wide market
fluctuations and to losses as result
of improper feeding, and even to oc-
casional heavy losses from disease.
Disease and parasites, according to
the New York State College of Agri-
culture, are especially troublesome
with respect to sheep.
The college has given some study to
these problems and is prepared to
offer practical advice to farmers this
winter through farmers Institutes and
other meetings held in each county un-
der the auspices of local farm bureaus.

Sweet Clover Is One of
the Best Soil Builders

Sweet clover is one of the best soil
builders we can grow for soil building
purposes This does not mean that
we should grow it to the exclusion of
alfalfa or even red clover. but itsdoes
mean that we ought to seed down
every acre of small grain with sweet
clover that Is not being seeded to some
other legume intended for hay. Or
perhaps at least half of the farms In
Iowa we ought to grow sweet clover
for pasture. 1t should be introduced
in the rotation for both pasture and
soil building. Let us pay more atten-
ton to that crop, not for hay, for al
falfa is much superior for that pur-
pose, but, as stated, for pasture and
for the addition of heterogeneous organ
lie matter to the soil.

Drink Water If
Kidneys Bother
Take q Tablespoonful Of salts II
Back Palms or Bladder 10
lrritated

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart Of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys In their efforts
to expel 1t from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains In the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue Is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these Irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here. Take tablespoon
full In a glass Of water before break
fast for few days, and your kidneys
may then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also
to neutralize the acids in the system
so they no longer irritate, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure and makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.

Control. Cadelle By
Poison Fumigation
One Big Factor Is Cleanli-
ness in Storehouse.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Cleanliness in the storeh0use and
granary is one Of the most important
factors In the control of the cadelle,i a
grain pest known all over the world
and first described in 1858, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The habit of the larvae of bur-
rowing into wooden floors, partitions
and walls of bins, storehouses, and
ships, accounts for much of the loss
occasioned by fresh supplies becoming
infested when placed in storage space
formerly occupied by infested ma
terial.
A history of the cadelle, Its distribu-
ton, and information concerning its
control are contained in Department
Bulletin No. 142sD, just issued by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The pest is usually associated in
its attack upon food products with
other grain pests. In the case of
package goods, such as breakfast
foods, the holes 1t bores in the cartons,
give other and smaller pests avenues
of attack upon foods that otherwise
might remain free from infestation.
The cadelle in all stages can be
killed by fumigation with carbon disul-
phide, from six to eight pounds per
thousand cubic feet of bin space being
used where bins are tight. Carbon
tetrachloride, has the advantage over
carbon disulphide in that its vapor is
nonexplosive and noninflammable, but
it has the disadvantage of being about
one-half to one-third as effective and
must therefore be used in larger guam
titles.
On farms where grain bins are usual
ly constructed of wood, hardwood
should be used In preference to soft
woods, and the construction made as
tight as possible. Bins should be in
spected annually and any badly bur-
rowed woodwork removed. The sub
stitution of concrete for wood wher-
ever possible is one of the best means
OF preventing the rapid infestation of
fresh supplies Of grain or grain
products.
A copy of the bulletin may be OBJ
tanned, as long as the supply lasts, by
writing to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington.
