in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.
Why Is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath
ing. what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
lialf-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy complexion, we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
cheeked people everywhere. The rea
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys
tem nearly an ounce of waste material
must he carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day's
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth
er sick or well, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, as a harmless means of washing
out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach.
Millions of people who had theli
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning Inside-bath. A quar
ter pound of limestone phosphate will
not cost much from your druggist or
at the store, but is sufficient to dem
onstrate to anyone, its cleansing,
sweetening and freshening etfect upon
the system.—Adv.

Poisonous matter clogged in the in

of the system is re-absorbed into the

delicate brain tissue it causes con

Cascarets immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels. ,
A Cascaret to-night will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep—a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver

MEAl CLOGS KIDNEYS
THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
ney* If Bladder Bothers You—
Drink Lots of Water.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache tn
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in a few days
your kidneys will, act fine. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithla, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the ncids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita
tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.—Adv.

TUBERCULIN TEST OF CATTLE IN FAVOR
A Fine, Healthy Herd of Dairy Cows.
C. P. Norgord, commissioner of agri
culture of Wisconsin, speaking before
the Guernsey Breeders’ association of
Waukesha county, at Waukesha, set
forth a new plan whereby the tuber
culin test of cattle will not only be of
greater value as an aid to science, but
will be of increased commercial value
and at the same time a greater pro
tection to breeder, seller and buyer.
Under the plan proposed by Com
missioner Norgord tuberculin-tested
cattle will not only be given a rating
above those not tested, but this rating
will be interstate and will be main
tained and backed by veterinary de
partments of all states. The plan al
ready has been indorsed by a number
of states.
A campaign of education will be
conducted in furtherance of the plan,
and co-operating with the Wisconsin
department of agriculture in this will
be the College of Agriculture of Uni
versity of Wisconsin, the United
States department of agriculture, and
the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders’
association and all county breeders’
organizations of Wisconsin.
Under the new order of things the
herds coming under the test and found
free from tuberculosis will be certified
as “Class A” herds, and will be so
listed in all states. Therefore, it will
be an inducement for the breeder to
voluntarily acquire this certification as
soon as possible.
In setting forth his plan, Commis
sioner Norgord said:
“In an effort to simplify the inter
state inspection of cattle and to en
courage the use of the tuberculin test,
the Wisconsin department of agricul
ture is hereby submitting a plan
whereby it may be possible to make
shipments from herds which are
control of tuberculosis in animals sold
and shipped into other states. Very
stringent requirements have been
placed upon the testing of cattle for
tuberculosis that are to be shipped
into other states. In order to main
tain trade with these states, the breed
ers and live stock sanitary board must
bring their cattle up to the standard
required by these tests. The present
requirements in most states are that
tuberculin tests should be made with
in 30 days from date of shipment. It
is easily seen that such a test upon
cattle whose previous history regard
ing tuberculosis is not known, and
such a test made by strangers and pos
sibly in strange quarters, will not re
veal the conditions of the animals re
garding tuberculosis.
"It is also easy to see that cattle
that have been tested for a number of
years without showing tuberculosis
are much safer animals to buy than
those selected by the process of the
test mentioned above.
“Correspondence and conferences
with state veterinarians of other states
have assured us that they are willing
to co-operate in a plan whereby herds
tested annually are listed in a class
known as ‘Clean Herds’ or ‘Class A.‘
It will be readily seen that herds,
whether they be purebred or grades,
will be more desirable to present
within and without the state than
those who have not been tested and
are not eligible to this class. The
consequence will be that the market
and the prices for cattle in ‘Class A
will be better than for all other ani
mals. Consequently, it will be readily
seen that there will be a desire on the
part of the farmers and breeders tc
have their cattle tested and in condi
tion for entrance into this class.
“The incentive for testing and
cleaning up herds in the state will
therefore come from the breeders
farmers and breeder associations rath
er than from any pressure without.
I “We have decided to take definite
steps and vigorous action in this mat
ter' and have worked out a plaii
which I wish to present today. Ac
cording to this plan, we propose tc
establish a list of herds that are free
from tuberculosis, so far as careful
tuberculin tests made by inspectors
of the live stock and sanitary board
of the department of agriculture can
show them.
“The following are the details ol
this plan so far as they have beeD
definitely worked out:
“First—Herds admitted to the tesl
for entrance to the list of certified
herds, or ‘Class A,’ must first have
passed at least two satisfactory tests.
“When an owner decides to have his
herd tested for entrance to the certi
fied list, he must first make applica
tion to the state veterinarian of the
department of agriculture. A veterin
arian will then be sent as soon as one
is available to make the necessary
tests, and if no re-actors are found on
that test, or any previous test, the
herd may then be admitted to the list.
"The expense of making the test
will be borne by the owner, and will
be sufficient in amount to cover the
salary and expenses of the employees
for the time devoted to the work.
"Second—The owner must agree not
to introduce any animals into his herd
except from a ‘Class A’ herd, unless
animals so added to the herd are tu
berculin tested on entrance to tie
herd and retested again within three
months. The owner must also agree
to submit his herd to be tested annu
ally by an employee of the live stock
sanitary board.
Able to Conform to Test.
deemed free from tuberculosis, so far
as can be judged by use of the tuber
culin test and the physical examina
tion of such cattle, and where there
have been no diseased animals found
upon twc successive examinations.
"The reasoii for the establishment
of such classification is this. The
prospective buyer is learning to look
for herds which are annually tuber
culin tested. He realizes that whether
the cattle which he bought will be per
manently free from tuberculosis or not
will depend largely upon the condition
regarding tuberculosis of the herd in
which the animal has been prior to the
time of purchase. The history of the
herd plays a large factor in determin
ing the future welfare of an animal,
and the time is not far distant when
the purebred breeder will refuse to
buy from a herd which cannot show a
clean record regarding tuberculosis as
shown by the tuberculin test.
“Another reason for the new plan
is the encouragement by reason of es
tablishing a list of those owners hav
ing tuberculosis-free herds, designat
ing them as ‘Class A.’ The owner who
has thus far tested his cattle has en
countered many disagreeable circum
stances, one of which is the fact that
a number of people who never have
tested or believed in the tuberculin
test would point with scorn to the man
who was testing and designate him as
a. man who had tuberculosis in his
herd, when the only assurance that
the neighbor had that his herd was
not afflicted was the fact that he had
not tried to ascertain whether there
was any disease there 01 not.
“The special necessity and desira
bility of taking this step lies in the
All encouragement possible will be
given to the breeders and owners to
have their herds tested locally so that
they may make sure that their herds
are in condition to be admitted into
the certified class.
“Third—The Wisconsin Live Stock
Breeders’ association has entered
heartily into the project and is making
it a part of its work the coming year
to induce farmers, breeders and breed
ers’ associations to test their herds in
order to rid them of tubercular ani
mals under direction of the live stock
sanitary board, to prepare them for
the state test for admittance into the
certified list of clean herds or
‘Class A.’
"Negotiations are now under way
and in some instances have been con
cluded with a number of states for the
acceptance of shipments from such
herds to any state in the Union, on a
certificate based upon the yearly test
of such herds, such certificate to be is
sued from the state veterinary divi
sion.”
Draft in Plowing.
It takes 55 per cent of the total
draft in plowing to cut the furrow
slice, 12 per cent to turn the furrow
of the sole and the landside. A good
point for farmers to remember is that
a dull share point increases the draft
by one-third.
Root Crops for Cows.
Mangel wurzels, stock beets and
turnips are excellent root crops for
sucoulent feed in winter, if you have
not enough cows to make a silo pay.
Sheep Kill the Weeds.
Many farmers do not start a flock
of sheep because they will not stand
for the expense of fencing; but fen
cing is not expensive, and sheep will
soon pay back the cost and a profit
The improvement of the pasture alone
will Justify the fencing outlay.

SUFFERED FOR FOUR YEARS,
Mr. J. M. Sinclair of Olivehill,
Tenn., writes: "I strained my back,
which weakened my kidneys and
caused an awful bad backache and
inflammation of
the bladder. La
ter I became so
much worse that
I consulted a
doctor, who said
that I had Dia
1 betes and that
i my heart was af
fected. I suffer
«>• "*■ oim-ian. ecl for f0ur years
and was in a nervous state and very
much depressed. The doctor’s medi
cine didn’t help me, so i decided to
try Dodds Kidney Pills, and I cannot
say enough to express my relief and
thankfulness, as they cured me. Dia
mond Dinner Pills cured me of Con
stipation.”

KEEP A RECORD
of what you write
Business men recognize
the importance of keeping
carbon copies of every let
ter, contract and transac
tion. It is a protection
against dishonesty, errors
and forgetfulness. One of
the reasons why farmers
should use typewriters is
that it enables them to
keep on file complete rec
ords of correspondence,
crop reports and whatever
is necessary to put farming
on a business basis.
