A VALUABLE SUGGESTION ' IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE It is now conceded by physclana that the kidneys should have more at tention as they control the other or gans to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work In remoV' lng the poisons and waste matter from the system by filtering the J)lood. During the winter months especial ly, when we live an indoor life, the kidneys should receive some assist ance when needed, as we take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than Nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lume back, an noying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brick-dust or sediment, sal low comploxion, rheumatism, may b weak or irregulur heurt action, warns you that your kidneys require help Immediately to avoid more Beriom trouble. Many physicians claim that an her bal medicine containing no minerals or opiates hus the most healing Influ ence. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success at a kidney and bladder remedy Is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parrels Post.

Never Under Any Circumstances Un dertake to Thaw Explosives Be fore Fire or In Stove Always , Follow Printed Direction. (By GEORGE ROBERTS.) In the use of dynamite for ridding land of stumps, one cannot be too careful in handling the dynamite and the caps used to set it off. If good Judgment is used, it may be handled with perfect safety. It should be stored In a dry, well-ventilated place, where the temperature will not rise above 90 degrees F. The caps should be kept In a separate place, as they are much easier set off than the dyna mite. It is unnecessary to tell most persons that dynamite should be pro tected from heavy Jars, and should not be stored where any Bhooting is likely to be done. A few years ago a carload of dynamite was exploded at Jellico, Tenn., by a boy firing into the car with a 22-caliber rifle. Most dynamite freezes at a tem perature between 40 and 60 degrees P. Some brands will freeze at about the freezing point of water. Frozen dynamite should not be used. Never attempt to thaw it until printed di rections, which come with every box (and If no directions are Inclosed, ob tain them from your dealer), have been thoroughly studied. Never under any circumstances un dertake to thaw dynamite before a Are or in a stove. About the only tools needed are an augur and a tamping rod. An old broom or hoe handle are satisfactory Never use a hammer or any other ob ject for driving the tamping rod. The hole is bored at an angle of abott 45 degrees, bo that the charge : Position of Auger In Boring Hole. will come under the center of the stump. If stumps are hollow, of course the charge will have to be located under some firm part of the stump. Some' blasters throw a log chain tightly around the hollow stumps to facilitate their removal. The amount of dynamite to be used depends upon several conditions: Tbe character of tbe stump; the character of the soil, and whether It Is wet or dry; whether the stump Is green or partly decayed, and the nature of the root system. Therefore It Is mani festly Impossible to give specific, direc tions as to the amount of dynamite to be used. The amount of dynamite re quired to blow stumps of the, same kind in the same soil does not vary directly with the diameter, but more nearly with the square of the diame ter, or, In other words, with the area of a cross section of the stump. The area of a cross section of a stump 48 inches in diameter is 16 times as great as the area cf a cross section of a Btump 12 inches in diameter. How ever, only Judgment developed by ex perience can determine how much of the explosive shall be used in a given case. The blowing of green stumps Is from two and one-half to three times as great as for dead ones. WINTER RATION FOR TURKEYS Only Sufficient Food Should Be Given to Keep the Birds In Good Healthy Condition. (By C. E. BROWN, Poultryman. North west Experiment Station, Crookaten, Minn.) During the winter season the stock turkeys should be fed and watered twice a day. Only sufficient food should be given to keep them in good healthy condition. When winter is over It is advisable to feed them a small amount of grain each evening to encourage them to return to their rooBtlng quarters and thus prevent them from wandering away with other .flocks. The following ration is a good one for the turkeys: Mix equal parts by weight of corn or barley, oats and wheat screenings, and in addition to this green food should be supplied once a day. For this purpose mangels, cabbage or clover leaves are the best. Grit and water should be supplied at nil times. Valuable Clover Crop, As a Boiling crop, to be hauled di rect from the field to the manger, clover has no equal, except possibly alfalfa. As a green manure crop, it Is especially valuable. As a usual thing, failures with clover can be at tributed to a lack of knowledge, or Inattention to, the details of its grow ing. It Is to the apparently "little things" that the moat successful clover growers attribute their suocess. To Inertias Yields. Rotation of crops should be prac ticed to increase the humus and nitro gen In the soils. If a large part of the produce raised be fed to live stock and the manure carefully returned to the fields, there are few sections of our whole country that will yield bet ter profits tor farming than In the North Central States. Breeding Places. The old decaying apple trees in the orchard are veritable breeding places for all sorts of fruit pests. Keep them well chopped out, using them for fire wood this winter and replacing theno with new, healthy trees. Paddock for Stallion.

The newly appointed master at Bchool had learned all about '"crib bing and such little dodges as school boys practice and had not forgotten them. One day during a lesson in history he observed one of his pupils take out his watch every minute or two. He grew suspicious, thinking that the pupil was consulting notes on the les son. Finally he strode slowly be tween the desks and stopped in front of the boy. "Let me see your watch," he commanded. The master opened the front of the case. He looked somewhat sheepish when he read the single word "Soldi" But he was a shrewd man. He was not to be thrown off the Bcent so eas ily. He opened the back of the case. Then he was satisfied, for he read: "Sold again!" TldBits.

Salsify Might With the Entire Appro v al of the Family Be More Com monly Used Creamed Or as " Croquettes They Are Fine- The housewife who "hates" wlntet because there Is "bo little to eat," oi because she feels that she is giving her family the same thing over and over, should not despair. . Apart from that, dear old-timer Hubbard .squash there are three members of the cab bage family cabbage itself, cauli flower and Brussels sprouts; five root vegetables, exclusive of onions, and white and sweet potatoes turnips, salsify, beets,1 carrots and parsnips, and two kinds of greens spinach and kale, available. Who could legitimate ly complain of lack of variety with such a choice at hand? The possibilities of salsify or oys Bter plant are not as well known as they .might be. It usually sells for ten cents a bunch pr two bunches for 15 cents and affords an Inexpensive change in the' diet Pains should be taken to select straight roots rather than the crooked, knotted ones which abound. The preliminary step to any dial' made of salsify Is to cut off the green tops, scrape and cut the roots Into small pieces and boll them until ten der (about half an hour). The sim ple addition of a white sauce will make creamed salsify, but for cro quettes rub the tender boiled pieces through a colander or strainer and to each bunch add a beaten egg, three tablespoonfuls of cream and enough flour to make a stiff batter. Make into croquettes, dip in - beaten egg, then In cracker crumbs or flour and again in the egg. Fry in hot fat and dry on brown or other absorbent pa per. The oyster flavor which gives the plant its name, comes out strong est when the vegetable Is cooked In this manner. ' For escalloped salsify, fill a but tered baking dish with alternate lay ers of boiled salsify ' and cracker crumbs. Pour white eauce over the filled dish, cover the top with but tered crumbs and bake until brown. Half a lemon squeezed over the top of a medium-sized dish will improve the flavor. Re-Making Window Shades. "Ordinarily the only part of a shade that becomes soiled and worn Is the portion exposed to the light that is, the part drawn down half the length of the window; the other half of the shade is practically new. A simple method of doubling the life of a shade, half of which has become soiled, is to remove the shade from the top of the roller and hem the end thus re moved. Then remove the stick from the hem at the bottom of the Boiled portion of the shade and Blip It into the new hem, Next cut off the old hem at' the bottom of the soiled por tion of the shade and attach the raw edge to the roller. The bottom oi Boiled portion of the shade now be comes the top, and when the shade is drawn down half the length of the window a clean, new portion Is exposed. Running Furnaces. A furnace authority says: "In mild weather it is not necessary to 'shake down' the furnace fire. You can econ omize on fuel and still have a fire ready to start full blast should the north wind begin to blow. With the furnace poker rake down only part of the ashes, forming a sort of crater by poking out the ashes thoroughly from the bottom and the top. Into this 'crater' put the fresh coal. This la really a sort of furnace within the larger one and holds the fire without using coal to heat the whole furnace. When the cold snap comes shake the grate thoroughly, shovel on fresh coal and open the drafts." . Pickled Pigs Feet. Buy six or eight pigs feet from your butcher, they are already cleaned put in cold water to which has been added a handful of salt Let stand an hour or bo. Wash well and put over the fire in cold water, boll slowly un til done but not so the bones will fall out Let stand In the water in which they are cooked until almost cold, then place in a Btone Jar and cover them with half vinegar and water, sprinkle a email handful ol pickling spices and six bay leaves over them. Cover the Jar and keep In a cold place. Make a nice luncheon dish on hot days. To Wash Sweaters. The popularity of the sweater li easily accounted for in Us usefulness and comfort, but It often loses its at tractiveness in becoming shapeless after washing. If properly washed a sweater should keep Its shape until It wears out, and therefore wash it carefully with some good white soap; rinse well and add Bom bluing to the last water It the garment Is white. Then place it in a clean pillow case and pin the case to the clothes line. When the sweater is nearly dry put it on a coat hanger in the sunshine. Meat and Rloe Croquettes. One cupful of cold boiled rloe, one cupful of finely chopped meat of any kind, one-half teaspoonful of salt, a saltspoonful of pepper, two table spoonfuls of butter, half a cupful ol milk and one egg. Put the milk on tc boll and add the meat, rice and sea soning. When this bolls add the egg, well beaten, and stir one minute. When cool form Into rolls, dip In beaten egg and fry in hot lard. Butter Fancy. A pretty scheme for the dinner ta ble is to have on each bread and bub ter plate the butter molded brthre balls the size of cherries. Then tak a sprig of parsley, cut off the follag and with the large stem standing ui and each of the three branching stemi at the ends stuck In a butter ball, th effect produced Is a luscious bunch ol cherries. . .

"They put on all kinds of fancy frills up there," he narrated to the eager crowd at the corner store, "but I don't believe they hev got half the money they pretend ter hev." "Well, do tell," wonderingly ex claimed one of the eager listeners. "Ye don't really mean it, Jake?" "Yaas," was the convincing rejoin der of Jake.

"Of course," scornfully replied the girl, who didn't appreciate having her act minimized, "but do you really think you can?" "Most assuredly," was the prompt rejoinder of James.
