A Terrible Ordeal !
Gravel and Kidney Stone Caused
Intense Suffering 'Doan's
Brought a Quick Cure.
Kdw. J. Turccck, 4332 Eichelburger
Aye., St. Louis, Mo., says: "I was
taken with a terrible pain across the
back and every move 1 made, it felt
like a knife being driven into my back
and twitted around, It lasted about
half an hour, but noon came back and
with it another affliction. The kidney
ecreuons uegan to pain
me: the flow was scanty
and burned like fire when
Eapfling. I had severe
eadacbea and my bladder
sot baldly inflamed, too,
and I noticed little par
ticles of gravel in the se
cretions. Doan's Kidney
l'ills had been recom
. i-i ,
iiicnucu to me ami l DC- M
pan their use. The first Tumtk
half box brought reljpf and I passed
a stone the size of a pea. It was a
terrible ordeal and afterwards a sandy
sediment and particles of gravel settled
In the urine. I got more of the pills
and they cured me. The inflammation
left and there was no more pain or
gravely I now sleep well, cat well and
my kidneys act normally. Doan's
Kidney Pills alone accomplished this
wouderful cure."

Where Most Sickness Begins
and Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, It. D.
It can be said broadly that most human
lis begin in the stomach and end in the
otomacb. Good digestion means good
health, and poor digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose of the food you eat, trou
ble begin to crop out in various forma.
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the common
est forms, but thin, impure blood, head
aches, backaches, pimples, blotches, dizzi
ness, belching, coated tongue, weakness,
poor appetite, sleeplessness, coughs, colds
nd bronchitis are almost as common.
There is but one way to have good haalth,
and that Ls to put and keep your stomach
in good order This is easy to do if you
take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. It ia a wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and ia so safe to take, for it U
made of roots and herbs. Dr. Pierce, ol
Buffalo, N. Y., stands behind this stand
ard medicine, and it is good to knev that
oo distinguished a physician is proud to
have his name Identified with it. When
you take Golden Medical Discovery, you
are getting the benefit of the experience of
a doctor whose reputation goes all around
the earth. Still more, you get a temper
ance medicine that contains not a drop of
alcohol or narcotic of any kind. Long ago
Dr. Pierce combined certain valuable vege
table ingredients without the use of alco
holso that these remedies always hav
been strictly temperance medicine.
If piles are torturing you, get and us

rJck relief it gives is hard to believe until
you try it. If constipated Dr. Pierce's

GOVERNMENT TO
HELP DAIRYMEN
Ready to Assist Owners of Herds
in Controlling Infectious Dis
eases Among Animals.
ASSISTANCE RENDERED FREE
Members of Several Cow-Testing and
Bull Associations Have Accepted
Offer and Report Good Results
Herd Lists Issued.
(Prepared by the United Stilton Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Any lienl of cuttle built on u founda
tion of diseased stock cannot survive
profitably for any length of time. The
wise breeder who is establishing a
herd, therefore, will see that his orig
inal stock comes from herds known to
be free from disease and that the ani
mals have not been otherwise exposed.
More than thnt, the established breed
er, to safeguard the health of bis herd
and meet the Increasing demand for
healthy stock, should use every means
at hand to maintain a herd known to
be healthy.
Government Asks Co-operation.
The dairy division. United States de
partment of agriculture, co-operating
with the tuberculosis eradication divi
sion, is ready to assist members of
cow-testing and bull associations In
controlling Infectious diseases among
Dairy Herd on Southern Farm.
their animals. This assistance Is ren
dered free In associations whose mem
bers request It and who will co-operate
with the bureau of animal Industry in
maintaining healthy herds.
In several cow-testing and bull asso
ciations the members have already ac
cepted federal assistance und report
good results. Practically all members
submit their herds to the necessary
tests and in this way start tuberculo-sls-freo
communities, which nre ex
pected eventually to grow to coun
ties, then to states, and finally the en
tire United Stntes may be freed from
bovine tuberculosis.
Accredited Herd Lists Stimulate Sales.
Accredited herd lists will he Issued
nt suitable Intervals. These lists con
tain the names and addresses of the
owners, und n statement of the breed
of cattle maintained by those owners
whose herds are found to be free from
tuberculosis.
Already approximately fiO.OOO copies
of the first list have been distributed
among breeders, state officials, exten
sion men. breed associations, and oth
ers. Breeders whose names appear
on this list state that as a result they
have received numerous inquiries from
prospective purchasers, some buyers
even desiring to purchase the entire
herd.
Certain communities have become
unfavorably conspicuous for the large
number of tuberculous cattle found In
them, and purchasers of cattle both
for breeding and slaughtering purposes
are shunning those sections. On the
other hand, when sections become
noted for their healthy cattle, buyers
obviously will seek animals from tho
breeders In such tuberculosis-free lo
calities. PROPER SOIL FOR SOY BEANS
Crop Does Not Require Much Drainage
for Best Development Too Much
Water Harmful.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The soy bean does not require n well
drained soil for Its best development,
although It will not succeed where wa
ter stands for any considerable length
of time. Swamp and peat soils, after
being drained and limed, have usually
been found to produce this crop very
well. Soy beans will thrive on soils
that are too acid for the successful cul
ture of red clover.

WAYS TO ERADICATE
SLUGS IN GARDENS
Insects Are Menace to Gardeners
and Mushroom Growers.
Poisoned Bait, Clean Culture and Use
of Lime and Powders Recom
mended to Destroy Destructive
Member of Snail Family.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Halt poisoned with arsenic, clean
culture In 'garden nnd greenhouse, and
the use of Unit' and powders, such nt
finely powdered salt and road dust
are roeommcudpd n means of destroy
ing the spotted garden slug anil other
Injurious gnrdoti "dues.
The spotted garden slug, which fre
quently becomes a menace to garden
ers and mushroom growers. Is some
what wormlike In appearance, ranges
In length from one-half Inch to nearly
seven inches, and varies In color from
a yellowish gray, or brown, mottled
with black, to nearly black. It thrives
In damp, dark locations, such as under
old decaying hoards and logs, In cel
lars and creameries, along hedges and
beneath damp refuse. It Is particu
larly fond of lettuce tomatoes, pens,
beans and other vegetables when
grown either under glass or In tho
open, and frequently causes damage In
mushroom beds, to celery during the
blenching process, and to vegetables,
especially potatoes In storage. It re
mains under cover until nightfall,
when It comes out to feed, and re
turns to the same place before morn
ing, leaving a trail of sticky mucus.
The common toad Is among the
slug's few natural enemies. Owing to
Its habits of feeding by night and con
cealing Itself during the day, the slug
is very ditllcult to control. Spraying
with ursenicnls Is Impractical, because
slugs avoid most poisonous substances,
l'olled or baked potatoes sprinkled
with white arsenic have been found
effective as a poisoned bait. In mush
room houses the most effective remedy
Is to .surround the beds with a border
about two Inches wide, using lime,
salt, or road dust, which prevents the
slugs from, passing. rieuningn the
hiding places of the slug and sprink
ling lime, which is the standard rem
edy for slugs, about Infested areas, is
the best treatment In gardens and
greenhouses.
INSURE SAFE WATER SUPPLY
Woodlot or Orchard Conserve Soil
Moisture and Rainfall Should
Be Kept Clean.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment ot Agriculture.)
On any farm a woodlot, grove, or
windbreak Is highly desirable, not
only to supply fuel and small timber,
but for Its beauty and tho protection
It affords. If kept clean nnd free
from stock, such wooded area, an or
chard even, may he made to serve an
other useful purpose, that of supplying
water, says Fanners' Bulletin 941,
"Water Systems for Farm Homes."
Forest-covered lands conserve rainfall
and soli moisture, and In many In
stances afford ideal sources for farm
water supplies. The farmer, there
fore, who fences off his woodlot, or
part of it, or forests an Inclosed area
and keeps it clean for water supply
purposes, Is following closely the wise
policy of cities and towns which, to
Insure safe, ample water supplies, ac

URGES RESUMING ROAD WORK
President Favors Earliest Possible Re

(Prepared by United States Department
of Agriculture.)
President Wilson favors tho earliest
possible resumption and extension of
highway construction tinder the fed
eral aid road act and has written Sec
retary of Agriculture Houston to that
effect. Tho secretary of war ulso has
written the secretary of agriculture in
favor of highway work.
The president's letter follows:
"Dear Mr.. Secretary:
"I heartily agree with you that it
would be In the public Interest to re
sume in full measure the highway con
struction operations under the federal
aid road act, und to do so as speedily
ns possible. 1 understand the neces
sity which existed for their contrac
tion during tho stress through which
we have been passing, but that obsta
cle Is now removed. I bellevo that it
would be highly desirable to have an
additional appropriation made availa
ble to the department of agriculture,
to be used In conjunction, If possible,
with any surplus state and community
funds, In order that these operations
may be extended. It is Important not
only to develop good highways
throughout the country as quickly as
possible, but It ls also at this time es
pecially advisable to resume and ex
tend all such essential public works,
with a view to furnishing employment
for laborers who may be seeking new
tasks during the period of readjust

of agriculture and tho state highway
authorities In each state have been
carefully working out road systems

"My Dear Mr. Secretary :
"I am In full agreement with your
view that there should not only be u
