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.

ROAD WORK AWAITED PEACE
Small Amount Money Expended Be.
cause of Desire to Conserve Labor,
Money and Transportation.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
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, .

a result, the United States highways
council, consisting of i. representative
from tho department of agriculture, J

and the fuel administration wns
formed In June. During the first four
months of its existence tho council
passed upon about 5,000 applica

"Cows consumed somowhnt moro

part of the more timid cows. Thq

It was handled more economical
than in tho closed bnru. Furthermore,
cornstalks in the manure were sunV

Under the open-shed system, 08 pel

nnd more comfortable. There n

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

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

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

Data collected by tho department
of agriculture shows that In the in

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.

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.
