Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper
Thousands upon thousands of womfB
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouhle, or the
reiult of kidney or bladder diaeaae.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cauae the other organa
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head-
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
ble and may be deapondent; it makea any
one ao.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr.
Kilmer'a Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome rich
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to aea
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By -enclosing ten eenta to Dr.

farm boy and girl migra-
tion from city to the soil
and correct, almost over
night, a food shortage
that threatened to engulf
the British empire. While
the flower of British
manhood was fighting in
France the agricultural
balance was turned in the
home land with the aid of the older men, the boys,
thousands of women educated and brought up to
city life, and above all other things, with tractors.
The situation was saved. But the lesson of un-
productive farm lands has been learned. Hence-
forth there will be a department of food production
In the British government charged with the duty
of maintaining and without a doubt bettering the
wartime crop record, a record of which England Is
Justly proud because. In the midst of a period
where the services of every hand was needed in
munition making, the country went from a "12
weeks' food production" era to a point where tha
land of England was producing enough food to
last 40 weeks. Sir Charles Fielding, tha director
of food production, believes that eventually,
possibly sooner than the world expects, England
will be harvesting enough food to last through
every one of the 52 weeks In the year, barring,
perhaps, some additional cattle food that will be
needed when the British herds are increased to
2,000,000 head, the number that will be required to
properly supply the population with milk.
Back In 1914 the English were importing four-
fifths of all cereals consumed and one-half of the
meat supply. The new program will certninly put
1814 Into the place It deserves—the low-water
mark In English farming.
Will Guarantee Priosa to Farmer*.
Success with the national "after the war farm
scheme" depends largely on what kind of a price
guarantee the government will be willing to give
the farmer for his principal crops. The depart-
ment of food production has It in mind to ask for
certain fixed prices that will run through a term
of at least ten yeara. It Is believed that at least
a decade will be required to firmly establish the
new era, and In the meantime give the farmer a
fair deal.
•The farmer Is not greedy." Sir Charles rteldlnf.
himself a farmer, declared the other day. "We
must remember the farmer has his living to make
and he baa a right to reasonable security, and to
the assurance that be will get a fair return for hla
work and hla expenditure. I believe that the Im-
portance of agriculture la being reel Imd In this
country at last. If » had been realised In the first
year of the war we should never have known such
nerfloas times aa those through which we have
paseed. But we got through somehow and tha
Dmanects are better new."

declared war on Ger-
many, that the British
government foresaw
grave difficulties with
the food situation
should the wai* last
much longer. And It
was quite evident that
the war would last
"quite some time," as
the British phrase It.
Amerlcnn strength on
the battle front, aud In
ship building, could
not be expected for_
many months.
About that .time the
war-food program
started in real earnest
Attentien Turnsd to Tractor.
Lord Lee It was who suggested the tractor
scheme for breaking up the soli of farms then
suffering from the shortage in horses (o0 per
cent of farm horses were in the army) and for
plowing up the grass lands of the big estates.
It was In the minds of all those men connected
with the food production department to make
1918 the banner crop year In England's history.
Originally It was planned to adopt a small
tractor as a standard, and turn them out by the
thousand In British factories standardized. Some
6,000 would be needed to do the job thoroughly,
It was thought. Sudden urgent demands ori the
factories for Increased supplies of munitions
caused -Ihe abandonment of the first plan, and
the next step was to order the first shipment of
sm:*l tractors from America.
Weeks and months were lost testing out the
Initial lot of machines and then, after^a desirable
model had been developed, came the terrible win-
ter of 1918 In America tying up railroad trans-
portation and preventing the shipment of ma-
chines that should have been at that very moment
engaged in turning over the soil, of some ducal
•state perhaps.
Actual shipment of 1,500 tractors was made in
America. No more reached England In time to
be of service In preparing for the 1918 crop. So
every possible kind of mechanical power was
mobilised to haul plows. Some giant machines
built for hauling heavy artHlery In Russia were
trundled out to the English fields and performed
excellent service.
Ancient sets of "steam tackle" were Inspected,
quickly repaired snd put to work. Sometimes
two engines are used on a field, one at each end
of the furrow. The Idea Is to keep the heavy
weight of the engine off the ground that la to
be put under cultivation for the reason that, past
experience had shown, the engine's weight acted
as a press on certain kinds of chalky, stteky
English soil, causing the plow to turn up Israe
•olid square chunks of earth that were absolute
fixtures la the field week on end. These chunks,
when "truck by a sledge hammer, gave forth a
dull kind of thud and the hammer left a email
Indentation.
Sometime* In the dry days of May usually,
one month after the planting aeaaon la over, the
cbnnka automatical^ crumble overnight, leaving
• perfectly level field that baa apperuntly been
cultivated Into dust.
The -steam tackles" worked an fall and winter
—ready for the 1918 cn<pw and. all toM.
plowed up a million and a inarter aerto of soil.
The tractor*, that Is the ganollne rig*. aomU and
large, plowad up •omethlac like a miillea ncree
At first glance It appears manifestly unfal-
that so small an amount of the park lands was
put lo work. As a mntter of fact the whol*
matter was handled with thorough British Jus-
tice; wherever park lands were found that should
have been plo'wed, the land was plowed. More
will be cultivated In peace time, It Is generally
believed.
In order to satisfy a popular demand In som. i
sections thousands of acres of grass lands were
plowed uneconomical, largely for the purpose
of conducting the "more-food crusade" in a man-
ner that appeared fair to the smaller landholders.
There Is talk now, and the plan will probably
be carried out, of bringing the ducal parks, with
large wooded areas, into a general scheme of pro-
ductive forestry In order to Increase the national
resources. The earl of Selbourne's plan, which
follows, appears populnr, however. On many of
the old places venerable trees were sacriticed
during the war to fill the need for lumber.
Special Committee Makea Inveatigation.
At the direction of the British government a
special committee, headed by the earl of Sel-
bourne, b«s Investigated the whole farming situ
atlon In England and has submitted its report.
It Is interesting to note that the committee
asks for the provision of good cottages for agri-
cultural laborers with ample gardens attached to
them.
Hereafter, If the recommendations of the com-
mittee are carried out. the state will see to It that
no land suitable for farming will be used for golf
links.
"It must be clearly understood." the report
rends, "that henceforth bad farming is a danger
to the state, and that the waste of good land on
game or games is inconsistent with patriotism.
v There will be plenty of room for game or golf,
but too much gnme, or golf links carved out of fat
land, make an Inroad on the production of food-
stuffs which can no longer be defended."
Mind you, this admonition ia not addressed to
England at war, but to England at peace, and the
report as a whole la an effort to guide England'a
new-found farming Industry through the trying
daya of reconstruction.
Minimum Wage Propoaed.
For the farm hand there should be a regulated
minimum wage set by duly appointW wage
boards in each administrative eounty, acting ia
conjunction with the local government officials, as
well as acting harmoniously with the wage board"
in adjoining counties.
The Impartial eye of the committee rests on
the great estate and park evil, where two-thirds of
England's acres rest, virtually uncultivated, and
the recommendation is made, with careful use of
phraseology In order to completely cover the case,
that these untitled binds be taken over by the
board of agriculture, acting for the government,
and a system of crops planted under the direct*o«i
of an expert estate manager.
Three years' warniug ahould be given the estat.
owner, and 'ben if nothing bna been done tower.!
actual farming, the estate goes Into government
management for a period of only five years, how-
ever.
Committee*, appointed locally, are re judge on
the capability of tenant farmer* and where such
men are found negligent, or wanting In propet
knowledge of competent cultivation, the tenant
can be evicted.
Bach of an this Is the knowledge that great
thinga wore accomplished In agriculture durina
the war days: that England was a fair farmlnr
rountry until the middle of the last century, ami

SAGE ANO SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother^ Recipe to Reatora
Color, Glosa and At-
tractiveness.
Almost everyone knows that Sag*
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound-
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Tears ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make It at
home, which is mussy and trouble-
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
phur Compound," you will get a largo
bottle of this famous old recipe, im-
proved by the addition of other in-
gredients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No ono
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis-
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive,—Adr.
A Proof.
"Do you believe that a college edu-
cation helps a boy in business life?"
"Sure I do. My son was a champion
sprinter at college and now he has a
position as bank runner."
