Weekly Health Talks A Word About the Kidneys BY DOCTOR WATSON. People are easily frightened when they think sotnething in 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 a duty of vital importance to perform, and if they are diseased, there is no telling how or where the symptoms may appear. The kidneys are filters, and when they are healthy they remove the poisons from the blood and purify it. When the kidneys are diseased, the poisons are spread every where, and one of these poisons is urio 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 (n the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis ease. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., in recent years, discovered that a certain combina tion of remedies would dissolve uric acid (urate salts) in the system. Ho 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 as hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have nrio acid troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in the drug stores. You can write Dr. Tierce, too, and he will tell you what to rat and how to live so that more uric acid will not form in your system. Dr. Pierce will not ehargo for this advice.

Although $U ,550,000 was nvnllnblo for expenditure on the post roads from the federal aid road act, only $-125,-415 was paid from federal funds In tho highway construction season of 1018 on all projects. The reason for this, according to the unnual report of tho secretary of agriculture, was tho steps taken to conserve money, labor, transportation and materials in high way work during the war, and nt the same time to facilitate really essential highway projects. In connection with tho federal nld road work, a letter was addressed to each state highway department ask ing that n program of federal aid coiv structlon be submitted at the earliest possible date. In which would bo In cluded only those projects which the state highway departments considered vitally necessary to the transportation facilities of the country. At the request of the capital Issues committee, engineers of tho depart ment were made available for Inspect ing and reporting upon proposed high way and Irrigation and dralnngo bond Issues. Inspections were made of 181 separate projects, Involving total bond Issues of $30,912,390. An arrange- J ment was made with the fuel admin- Istrntlon whereby highways of special Importance should receive enough bi tuminous material to provide for ade- l qunte maintenance, and, where ncces- i sary, to permit construction and recon structlon. From May 13, 1918, when the co-operation became actively effec- tlve, until the close of the fiscal year, . ! nnnllr-ntlnna nnlllm- fnr 7fi DTKY. 000 gallons of bituminous material..! were received from states, counties and , municipalities. Of this amount provol was given and permits were Is- sued for GS.OOO.OOO gallons.

As a result, the United States highways council, consisting of i. representative from tho department of agriculture, J tho war department, the railroad ad ministration, tho war Industries board and the fuel administration wns formed In June. During the first four months of its existence tho council passed upon about 5,000 applica tions, Involving nearly -1.0C0.000 bar- 1 rels of cement, 3,250,000 tons of stone, 1 1,110,000 tons of gravel, 1,207,000 tons I of sand, over 77.000,000 brick, nnd I nearly 20,000,000 pounds of steel, nnd j 1-10,000,000 gallons of bituminous ma ; terials.

(Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of AKrteuKuro.) "Cows consumed somowhnt moro feed and produced slightly more milk when kept In open sheds than In closed barns, whllo their Increased production did not offset the cxtro( cost of feed," reports the United States depart ment of agriculture from the results of Investigations conducted at Heltsvlllc, Md. "Which : the open shed or closed bnPh for dairy cows?" has been a much mooted question among Interior of a Well-Arranged Dair Barn. the dairy fraternity for many years and tho data o.fered by the federal department Is Illuminative In cleur'ng u the problems. From present kiiowl edge, the open shed Is not thought to ' uu,,Htu lu " , ' !!?. SF i!ifl wing: Considering all operations, othei th"n milking and feeding, slightly ,noru labor wns required to euro lot cows un(ler 41,0 opeiwrtied system ut tr.ruiugetnent, while there was n lon- i i .1 a . i r i.i dency for "boss" cows to deprive tha weaker animals of feed, and the nor mal advantages of tho shed which re sulted in decreased production on thq part of the more timid cows. Thq iiinnutc wns apparently well pre served, until it could be hauled to the land, under the open-shed system and It was handled more economical than in tho closed bnru. Furthermore, cornstalks in the manure were sunV cleiitly decomposed to bu handled sue cessfully with the manure spreader. Under the open-shed system, 08 pel cent more bedding was required fot each cow, but tho cows were cleanei nnd more comfortable. There n l.'ttlo difference In the time required , to bed the nnimnls under the two sys tems, hut the rapid rotting of the corn stalks or other coarse material un (ley tho open-shed method makes then use for litter in the open shed pni' i tical. Despite other results to tli. contrary, tho results of this expeii ment showed that there was little ii I any difference in the frequency of in I juries to cows under either open-sin or closed-burn conditions. In general, little difference could In noted In the contentment of the cows tinder open-shod or closed-barn con ditions. Some of the animals up peared to be more contented in barn 'stalls; others moro at ease in the open shed, while still others appar ently had lib preference. However under open-shed conditions the cow hud more freedom, as they could li down and get up with ease and could select n clean place on which to lif whenever they chose. Furthermore they hud access to an abundant sup ply of fresh air. In many poorly ven tlluted dairy bnms the ulr supplv doubtless would be an Important fin tor In making the open shed more ! slrablo ns u source of cow comfort. Data collected by tho department of agriculture shows that In the in stance of 21 cows which wero kepi under the two systems, 15mlmals pro duced more milk and butterfut win kept In the open shed, while six cov s showed u higher production win u maintained in tho closed barn. Tin' total production while In the op a hed was tt-i.KlO.O pounds of milk con tnlnlng l.fi.'in.in pounds of butterf:n, and that in the closed burn was Hi -808.7 pounds of milk containing I pounds of butterfut. Accom'- ingly. under the opezi-shed system, there wns u total Increase for tl" period considered, about eighty dn -. pf 2.7J12.2 pounds of milk nnd i)7 . 1 pounds of butterfut, or an uveruge i"r each cow of 1:50.1 pounds of milk in I 4.05 pounds of butterfut. The tot l numner or months compared uin.' r each system was f7, and the avern " time was about eighty days. Calcu tlons from these figures Indicate tl t there was an average monthly m crease of -IS pounds of milk and 1 7 pounds of butterfut for each cw while stabled In the open shed. It Is largely a matter of penwi.nl preference for tho farmer to deter mine under which system, open tdn-d or closed dairy barn, It Is most pif Itable for him to maintain his dairy cows, PLAN OUTLINED FOR PRUNING In Working on Apple and Pear Trcei Begin Sawing on Underside Leave No Stubs.

MULCH STRAWBERRY PLANTS Couple Inches of Straw or Waste Hay Should Be Spread for Winter Protection. (Prepared by tho United Stutos Depart ment ot Agriculture.) After the ground freezes cover tho strawberry plants with a mulch of a couple of Indies ot straw, waste buy cut before it ripened seed or coarse manure with the flue portion shuken out. Do not use vegetable rubbish containing weed seeds, because these seeds will grow next year and cause a lot of work to keep the weeds cleanedjiout. The mulch protects thu ground from sudden thnwing and freezing which "heaves out" plants not protected. BENEFITS OF COVER CROPS Hold Soil, From Washing, Prevent Burning Out Humus and Furn ish Pasture for Stock. Cover crops hold the orchard soil from washing, prevent burning out hu mus, furnish profitable pnsturo for hogs, calves, poultry and small stock, and furnish un excellent mulch and soil cover for the trees. If tho or chard is pastured with small stock it should not be pastured too close. Knough growtlt should be made by Hie cover crop for winter to furnish a good mulch that will catch nnd hold snow und leaves that would otherwise blow away. STRAWBERRIES TO DO WELL Soil Must Be Supplied With Humus If Manure Cannot Be Supplied, Use Some Crops. Strawberries to succeed well must be on soli that Is well supplied with humus, and If manure cannot be had he sure to turn under organic muttei of Mime other kind, such as a crop of eowpo'is, crnb grass, etc. In turning under this kind of organic material however, one should be careful to dr.
