What the Doctor Knows KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO INSURE HEALTH. Few pc p]^ realize to what extent their health depends upon the condition of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analy sis of the patient's urine. He knows that ur: e«s the kidneys are doing their work prnjierly. the other organs cannot readily he brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to foil, w. According to health sta tist i ..

As an inducement to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to apply as residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it. Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time to complete duties. Two years instead of three as heretofore, but only to men working on the farms for at least six months m 1917. T - appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment * r military service but solely to increase agricultural output.

HEN AND PIG. “It was cold, bitterly cold in the Barnyard,” said Daddy, “and the Chickens were trying to keep warm. To lie sure they were fairly good-sized chickens, but when the cold weather came they liked to go to their mother for protection. “They were being sheltered by their mother's wings, these two little chick ens 1 am going to tell you about, and they thought they were quite safe from the cold wind. “Along came Mr. Rooster. ‘Cluck, Cluck,’ he called. For Mr. Rooster had found a delicious worm and he wanted the little Chickens to divide it between them. “.Mr. Rooster, you know, is very kind, and when he finds worms it gives him great pleasure to cluck and cluck until a little Chicken comes running along to get it from him. “ ‘Well,’ laughed Mr. Rooster, as the Chickens were having their feast. ‘If they aren't the funny little dears!’ “ ‘Yes,’ said Mrs. Hen. ‘they are fun ny, hut they're very sweet children.’ “ ‘Indeed they are.' said Mr. Rooster, 'I don't wonder you are proud of them!’ “Mrs. Hen made a little bow, and Mr. Rooster crowed a bit to show he was in good spirits and thought the |,-—-|--- --M “The Funny Little Dears." barnyard a pretty nice place to live in. ‘I shall find you a worm this time,’ said Mr. Rooster. “ ‘Thanks, thanks,’ said Mrs. Hen, clucking happily. “Then the two Children came back. They were cold again, and once more they got under their Mother's wings. “ ‘They are so silly,’ said Pinky Pig. ‘Don’t they know that though their heads may be covered up. their feath ers are sticking outside in the cold! They are not really being kept warm. They're just silly.’ “‘Well,’ said Mother Hen. ‘they are being partly covered up and they feel they are being kept warm. Of course you can't understand. Pinky, as you re a Pig and not a Chicken. A Pig.' I can quite easily understand, would want to get all covered up—feathers and every thing. But I beg your pardon! Of course you haven't feathers at all.’ “ ‘And I couldn't get covered up in that way,' said Pinky, ‘in any case, be cause my mother isn't small with wings like a Hen. She’s a great big, fat. Pig.’ ‘Pigs are usually that wav,’ said Mrs. Hen. ‘Your mother is no excep tion to the rule. She's just like they all are, fat, and so are you. too. Ugh!’ And Mrs. Hen shivered in disgust. "The Chickens had poked their little heads out when Pinky first came to talk to their mother, to hear what he had to say. But they found it quite uninteresting and they liked to be kept warm, far better. “So they were back under their mother’s wings, with their little feath ers sticking out as Pinky had said. “ ‘They’re not greedy, the little dears,’ said Mrs. Hen. “‘But I saw them take a nice worm breakfast from Mr. Rooster not long ago.’ “ ‘Ah,’ said Mrs. Hen. That was very different. Mr. Rooster gave them the worm breakfast as a present. It was a great honor!’ “ ‘I’d like to know the difference be tween a present of food and food one has to hunt for. Seems to me pres ents are very unfair. They don’t give many of them around the pen these days.’ “ ‘Nonsense, Pinky,’ said Mrs. Hen. ‘The Farmer gives you presents of food all the time.’ “ ‘So he does, so he does,’ said Pinky. ‘But not enough. We can never get enough.’ “ ‘Don’t you think you've had enough.’ asked Mrs. Hen, ‘until you feel quite ill and have to send for Doctor Frog? He has gone to sleep for the winter. You had better not send for him now!’ “ ‘It's when I'm sick I know I’ve had ■ enough,’ agreed Piaky. “ ‘But,’ said Mrs. Hen, ‘it's not pleas ant to be sick, is it?’ “ ‘No,’ suid Pinky, grunting thought fully, ‘it's not pleasant to be sick, but when one is sick from overeating, one is sick from a good cause.’ ” ____________________ Do You Need a Tonic? When you find yourself ready to put the worst construction on the acts of others, when it is easier to believe that an acquaintance passed you without speaking because she wished to cut you, than it is to assume that she failed to see you. it is high time to take yourself in hand. Suspicious peo ple need the tonic of kind thoughts and generous judgment.—Girl’s Com panion. Whsl Well Dress Women Will Wea> Your party frock may have a hi^h waistline, or a normal waistline (a little hit pinched in), or no waistline at all, like the frock shown in the pic ture. Choose whichever style looks best on your future with the assurance that it has the approval of some world famed costumer back of it. The pretty dance frock shown in the picture has a double skirt of net. one of them finished in points about the bottom, bound with narrow satin rib bon. Over this a second skirt of net. finished with a border of three rows much she may devote herself o' morn ings to splashy-dasliy sports clothes, or how uncompromisingly tailored her street dress may be, trust the woman of today to garb herself in something alluringly soft and utterly feminine looking. before the sun goes down, or mighty shortly thereafter. The pretty lingerie dress has re turned in all its glory of fine lace and fine handwork on fine materials. Sheer cotton and linen fabrics, and laces, deer to the hearts of fine ladies, are . put together with painstaking needle NET A FAVORITE IN PARTY FROCKS of satin ribbon, is draped in double points at each side and gathered into the waistline. The overbodice is of lace bound with ribbon and fastens at the back. It is finished at the top with a border and suspenders of crepe georgette and at the bottom with little silk balls. The dress is worn over a slip of taffeta. Among new models in net there are some having underpetticoats of net and crepe instead of silk, and the effect is wonderfully soft. Net in two eolors. hemstitched together, provides some novel effects in draperies and a favor ite combination is paprika, or tomato red. and white. The dress pictured is work in these frocks. They never fail to captivate women possessed of good taste, and the French have an axiom that explains it. “There is nothin? so beautiful as care.” It runs. Resides these sheer gowns there are others of soft silk crepe, or light wool en fabrics, that are of the same char acter. One of them Is shown In the illustration, and it might be made of crepe de chine, challies. satin, silk-and wool poplin or any other supple ma terial. It is a one-piece dress with lengthwise plaits down the front and three wide tucks in the remainder of the straight, full skirt. The sleeves are full and gathered into a frill at the FEMININE SOFTNESS IN AFTERNOON GOWNS Ml In white with silver ribbon in bind- [ lng and border and in the ball trim ming, but the same idea is carried out successfully with colored ribbons on white net. The silk underslip might be In a tint instead of white. A eoarse-meshed silk lace, used In the bodice, stretches sufficiently to ac commodate itself to the lines of the figure, and may be re-enforced with a lining of net or crepe georgette. The eternal feminine will assert itself in soft and frilly or demure frocks fcr afternoon wear—and let us be thankful therefor. No matter how waistline. There is a soft girdle and a snilor collar of silk with a collar of tine net-top lace draped over the collar of silk. The frock fastens at one side with snap fasteners, but ornamental buttons are set over them. Even these afternoon gowns are not much lengthened as to the skirts. But this is a matter that the individual may decide for herself because authori ties are of two minds about it. _ Offering 160 Acres to Farm Hands. Canada today, with the great de mand that is made upon it fur food stuffs, finds itself almost in tlie throes of a labor famine. A novel lueuns of solving the problem lias been evolved by the Canadian Government at Ottawa on Wednesday last, when it was de cided to practically bonus every farm hand going to Canada, by giving him 160 acres free as a homestead, and to allow the time he would he working out for. tlie good wages offered, to count as residence duties on the homestead. Western »'amnia lias been a big pro ducer of grain and it is estimated that there is a shortage of over thirty thou sand men. necessary to produce an av erage crop in 1017. This shortage has been caused by so many young men having left the farms to go to war. and it is essential to make an unprecedent ed offer of this kind, to fill their places on tlie land at once. It has been required in the past to do three years' duties on homesteads to get title, but an additional induce ment has been offered by practically reducing this term to two years. As explained by an official of the Canadi an Government. Canada's need for farm laborers is intense, and excep tional inducements are being offered to get tlie needed farm workers at once. A farmhand will make his en try for one of the 100-ncre farms, sat isfy tlie Government that lie is work ing for a farmer and that time will ap ply as residence on the land fill'd fur. just the same as if he was actually living on it.—Advertisement.
