A FIGHT FOR LIFE
It has been fight or dlo for many of uh

those who have suffered, but who are
now well because they heeded nature's
warning signal in time to correct their
trouble with that wonderful new discovery
of Dr. Pierce's called "An-u-rlc." You
should promptly heed these warnings,
some of which are dizzy spells, backache,
irregularity of the urine or the painful
twinges of rheumatism, sciatica or lum
bago. To .delay may make possible the
dangerous forms of kidney disease, such
as Brlght's disease, diabetes or stone In
the bladder.
To overcome these distressing condi
tions take plenty of exercise In the open
air, avoid a heavy meat diet, drink freely
of water and at each meal take Dr.
Pierce's Anuric Tablets (double strength).
You will, In a short time, find that you
are one of the firm lndorsers of Anuric,
as are thousands of neighbors.
Step into tho drug store and ask for
Anuric, or Bend Dr. V. M. Pierce, Buffalo,

RABBITS FOR MEAT
Belgian Hare Is One of the Best
for Table Use.
QUALITY OF FLESH SUPERIOR
Much of Excellence of Anlmale De
pend on Rapidity of Ita Growth,
and Still More on Manner
of Cooking It
(Prepared by the United Staten Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
By the production of domestic rab
bits on farms and In the back yards of
villages and even of cities, the meat
supply of the country may be consider
ably augmented. Such rabbits may be
ejislly grown and can be propagated
without costly Investment In land and
buildings,
Tho Belgian bare is one of the best
rabbits for table use. It weighs more
than most breeds, develops very rapid
ly, and the quality of the meat Is su
perior to nil the others. The Flemish
giant Is a cross between the Belgian
hare nnd other breeds, developed espe
cially for largo size, with the result
that the flesh may be slightly coarser
In mature animals. With young hutch

rabbits, few persons can distinguish
differences in tho quality of the flesh
of the various breeds. Much of the ex
cellence of the rabbit ns food depends
on the rapidity of Its growth and still
more on the manner of cooking It. As
often prepared, It Is dry nnd insipid;
but In the hands of an experienced
cook It becomes all that the most fas
tidious teste can wish. An especial
requirement In cooking the Belgian
hare Is that none of tin; nnturul juices
of the. meat be lost In the process.
The directions herein given for the
care of Belgian rabbits are applicable
to tho management of most other
breeds.
Selection of Stock.
If rabbits are bred for food only, the
selection of stock Is of less Importance
than when they are bred for show pur
poses. All that Is required is a sizable
animal of good, bary stock. However,
tho polnls fo rwbich the fancier breeds
the Belgian hare Include also those
most deslrablo In n food animal, so
that If one can find stock with these
characters well marked, and at the
some time constitutionally sound, he
should by all means obtain It. Pure
bred stock Is more profitable, too, be
cause it may be sold for breeding pur
poses us well as for the table.
General Standards.
Belgian bare fanciers of a few years
ago differed somewhat In opinion ns to
the proper standard of color for this
animal. Some aimed at the color of
brown. Most American breeders seem
to have preferred n deeper reddish
brown. In all other respects the stand
ards were the same. The chief re
quisite concerning color Is that It shall
bo as nearly uniform as possible
throughout the upper surface of the
animal and that I he fur shall have n
rich luster. The "ticking," or shading,
should be wavy ralher lhan dotted.
The bHy and the lower surface of tall
and hind feet should be v hltlsh, but
not pure while. Tiie neck and breast
shiiuhl be somewhat lighter In shade
than Ibe back, but not In marked con
trast wllb II. nor should Ibe change In
shade be abrupt.
Ears. The ears of the mature fiel-
glun Should be about r, lo fi'-fc Inches In
length, varying with the slue of the
animal. Tliey should be well shaped,
strong at the base, and almost trans
parent at the middle. They must not
be pendulous, but should, when the
animal is quiet, la1 Inclined backward,
resting straight over tin' shoulders. A
narrow black edging al the Up and as

same size. Bucks and the younger fe
males should never have the appendago
known as "dewlap." This sometimes
develops In the older ones, but Is re
garded as a blemish In animals intend
ed for show purposes. The back
should he only slightly arched, and the
forelegs and feet should bo perfectly
straight and free from white.
Aoe of Breedlna Stock. The burin.
nor should always select mature ani
mals about a year old for breeding
stock. These may be known by the
brisk, alert look, the small white teeth,
and the small claws, almost hidden In
the fur. Coarse, long claws ate a sure
Indication of age. Listless-looking,
rough-coated, or pot-bellied animals
(except pregnant does) should be re
jected, especially those having tho
whites of the eyes stnlned with yel

aud does not scream wheu lifted by the
curs.
The Sexes. The does selected for
breeding mas be of the snout -i!-i
and even of the same litter, hut the
buck should be of different stock, nnd
when possible obtained from ,,h,.
brooder. Hardy young animals with
tno pest characteristics of the breed
may be bought at train f l to ft each.
Often they may be had of nearby
breeders, thus saving the expense of
carriage on long Journeys by express.
Hutches and Pens.
The Belgian hare does not do well
when kept wild in open warrens. The
common English rabbit Is better for
this purpose. A good many Belgians
have been turned out In various parts
of the United States, and In the vicin
ity of the city bf New York and on
the western const this has resulted In
some complaints of damage to crops.
As a rule, however, and fortunately for
the farmers, these animals', when
obliged to shift for themselves, fall an
easy prey to their enemies and disap
pear within a few months.
Belgian hares may be managed suc
cessfully In two ways: (1) Entirely
In hutches, or (2) In outdoor fenced
runs, or courts, with hutches for does
when having young, and sleeping
hutches for other stock. The hutch
system with various modifications Is
the more common nnd Is the only
method adopted by rabbit fanciers who
raise for show. The use of small runs
or rabbit courts to give the animals
healthful exercise In fine weather Is of
advantage.
The Rabbltry.
The rabbltry may occupy part or all
of a barn or shed, or be built In a shel
tered space In the angle between
buildings or walls. The Indoor rab
bltry has decided advantages. The
place should be well ventilated, but
not subject to drafts of cold or damp
air. These may be prevented by venti
lators In the roof, or by a system of
elbowed pipes passing through the
sides of the building and reaching a
height of two or three feet above the
openings.
Hutches.
Hutches for the Belgian hare should
lie somewhat larger than those Intend
ed for smaller breeds. They should
be built of good lumber, have tight
floors, nnd have at least 12 square feet
of floor spaco and a height of two feet.
If there is plenty of room In the rab
bltry It Is best to have the hutches sep
arate; but they are usually set In tiers
or stneks, two or three in height. Each
hutch in the rank Is complete In Itself,
so that Its position may be shifted at
any time.
A convenient Indoor hutch is one 8
by 2 by 2 feet, with a movable parti
tion dividing off a third of the space
at ono end for a nest nnd sleeping
chamber. Tho partition has a smooth
hole to permit passage of the animals
from one part to the other. The front
of tho hutch has two doors, one of wire
netting, the other of wood. The wood
en door opens to the sleeping cham
ber nnd should close tightly. It Is best
A j
Simple Outdoor Hutch.
to use metal binges for the doors. The
pnrlitlon may slide In a groove be
tween the doors or may be put In and
taken out through one of the door
openings.
Outdoor hutches should have sloping
roofs nnd overhanging eaves to protect
thetn from rain. The screened door
should have a sliding cover of wood or
be fitted with a removable cloth cover.
Small boles bored near the top of the
hutch will afford all necessary ventila
tion.
Movable hutches have some advan
tages. They may be carried outdoors
In lino weather nnd taken back under
shelter nt night or during storms.
Long, narrow cleats projecting at both
ends of the hutch are all that are
needed to convert tho ordinary hutch
Into a movable one.
Courts.
A rabbit court may bo paved or
floored, or It may be a grass court sur
rounded by n rabbit-proof fence. Sleep
ing hutches Inside the court may be
small boxes of any sort If they are
stout and water-proof. They should
have sliding doors to conflne the rab
bits If desired, nnd should also have
small holes near the top for ventila
tion. If a court Is used, hutches will
still be needed for breeding does.
K rabbit-proof fence to Inclose a
gross court should bo made of heavy
poultry netting 5 or 6 feet wide and
of IVi-luch mesh. Tho posts, project
ing !l or 4 feet nbove the ground,
should bo well set outsldo the edge of
the court. The netting Is stapled to
tho posts, leaving a projection of 0
Inches or more at the top nnd about 18
Inches nt the ground, to be turned Into
the court. The lower edgo should be
covered with 10 or 12 Inches of Soil to
prevent the animals from digging ottt.
The upper edge also Is turned Inward
to keep them from climbing out
Bracket! at the tops of the posts make
tho best support for the overhanging
netting, although horizontal pieces of
wood nailed to the posts Will answer.
KEEP IN VENTILATED CELLAR
Wet or Dry Place la Not Good for
Vegetables Cabbage Kept Out
Doors Long at Possible.
Botatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips
and turnips need a moderately drybut
well-ventllnted cellar. A wet or dry
cellar Is not a good place for keeping
vegetables. The Ideal temperature Is
a few degrees above freezing. Cab
bage Is kept out of doors as loug ns
possible. A good plan nfter harvest
ing Is to put the cabbage heads close
together, covering with straw and
later adding tnoro straw and soil If the
winter promises to be very severe.
Where conditions arc moderately dry,
cabbage keeps better with tho roots
and stems left on.
Raise Your Fruit.
There can he no logical reason why
anyone with an acre of land, should
be deprived of a variety of fruits and
fruit products, which may easily be
available every day In tho year.
Points to Avoid.
Po not buy a horse with a narrow
or shallow chest, or whose forelegs are
very close together. Ho has not auf-
til-lent room lor a set ot strong li
and will not be long winded.
6IVES ARMY WEAPONS
Ordnance Bureau Important
Branch of War Department
Intrusted With Duty of Providing Big
Guns and Small Arms, With All
Necessary Equipment
In common with other branches of
Uncle Sam's military service the ord
nance division of the war department
Is of Interest at this time. The chief
of the ordnance of the army Is
charged with the duty of procuring, by
purchase or manufacture, and distri
buting the necessary ordnance and ord
nance stores for the army and Na
tional Ouard.
Ordnance and ordnance stores In
clude cannon and artillery vehicles and
equipment; apparatus and machines
for the service and maneuver of ar
tillery; small arms and ammunition,
and accoutrements. Horse equip
ments and harness for field artillery,
and horse equipment for cavalry and
other mounted men ; tools, machinery
and materials for ordnunce service,
and all property of whatever nature
(Including specially equipped motor
trucks, motorcycles, tractors and rail
road cars) supplied to the military es
tablishment must be provided by the
ordnance department.
More than 800 students installed on
the campuses of eight American col
leges have been taking the prepara
tory course to fit them for ordnance
work In the enlisted reserve corps.
These students have been trained to
become storekeepers In that branch of
the service which will supply the new
American armies with guns and mu
nitions. In connection with those who have
had some training nnd who wish com
missions as either captains or first
lieutenants the department wishes to
have mechanical engineers, chemical
engineers specially qualified in explo
sive chemistry, and metallurgical en
gineers; also men with special knowl
edge of the manufacture of leather
goods and cloth material. In accept
ing men for these commissions the de
partment prefers graduates of a recog
nized college or university, and also
prefers those who have had sufficient
experience In the manufacture or In
vestigation of ordnance material to
qualify them to take up at once such
duties In the ordnance department

WAR BOOMS DYE INDUSTRY
American Plants Not Only Supply Do
mestic Needs, But Sell Large
Quantities Abroad.
The American dye Industry has not
only grown big enough to supply prac
tically all domestic needs, but Is now
exporting Important quantities to
other nations, Uncle Sam's bureau of
commerce reports.
Of all the Industries created or de
veloped as a direct result of war con
ditions, none has shown more rapid
progress than Amerlcnn dyestuffs.
From only seven establishments In
which 628 people were engnged In pro
ducing 0,619,720 pounds of coal-tar
colors, valued at $1,120,000, In 1914,
the Industry has developed until now
It not only supplies the domestic de
mand for colors, but has even Invaded
the foreign market In European neu
tral and allied countries, Canada, Mex
ico, Argentina, Brazil, British India,
nnd Japan.
No other article of commerce more
vitally affects a greater number of In
dustries than do coal-tar dyes, and
very few articles rival them In com
plexity of manufacture. At the out
break of tho war tvje difficulties In the
way of soon providing adequate do
mestic supplies seemed Insurmount
able; yet In the shoit space of three
years scores of plants covering many
acres of grouud have been erected;
numerous by-product coke ovens have
been equipped to furnish tho neces
sary raw materials; thousands of
workmen have been trained; special
machinery has been designed, built
and Installed; hundreds of chemists
and chemical engineers have given
their entire time to the unfamiliar
work connected with color produc
tion ; experimental research has been
inaugurated for perfecting processes
aud machinery aud the possible dis
covery of new colors ; organization,
consolidations, and alliances have been
effected within the Industry to further
Increase output at decreased cost ; and
It Is understood in the trade that plans
are under way for entering foreign
markets on a large scale.

MORE LIVE STOCK,
UNCLE SAM'S AIM
Experts Consider Methods That
May Be Used to Encour-
age Production.
ACCESS TO MARKETS NEEDED
Inveatlgators Believe Co-Operative
Shipping Organizations Are of
Greatest Aid to Small
Producer.
At this time above all others, It Is
pointed out by experts of Uncle Sam's
department of agriculture, better mar
keting facilities are essential to the In
crease In live stock production, espe
cially In the South, which Is desirable
from every point of view.
Various methods of improving the
present situation in this respect have
been tried out. Among the most im
portant are the organization of co-operative
shipping and marketing clubs
and of local live stock buying com
panies, the establishment of local pack
ing houses, the custom of holding live
stock sales on advertised dates, and
the use of local Ice plants in curing
farm meat.
Co-operative Shipping Best.
Of these, In the opinion of experts
of the department, co-operative ship
ping Is one that Is being most gen
erally adopted In the United States,
and the one most worthy of consider
ation. Associations for this purpose
have met with marked success in the
middle West, and are equally well
adapted to conditions In some parts of
the South. They enable the small pro
ducer to ship his animals to central
ized live stock markets at no greater
Cost of transportation than Is paid by
the denier who ships In carload lots.
In this way the farmer Is made Inde
pendent of local buyers. Another
great advantage, It Is pointed out, of
such associations Is that they are sim
ple In organization and require no cap
ital to do business.
In one Mississippi city the board of
trade has created a somewhat more
complex organization, In order to pro
vide the farmers of the surrounding
country with a good local market for
their live stock throughout the year. A
company has been organized with a
pnld-l-i capital of $2,600, provided by
local business men, In the hope of in
creasing production of live stock In
the section. No dividends are paid and
the operating expenses of the company
are reduced to the minimum. On two
days of each week throughout the year
the company buys live stock for cash
In any sized lots, at prices which are
the equivalent of those prevailing at
the large centralized markets, less the
cost of sending the animals to these
markets.
Brings Higher Prices.
The Immediate result of this move
ment, It Is said, has been higher prices
paid by local butchers, nnd their will
ingness to pay cash for live stock, In
stead of Insisting that payment be
made by extending credit to the pro
ducer. Incidentally, the operations
of the company have shown that live
stock can be bought and shipped to
the large markets, and a number of
private dealers have undertaken to
compete with the company. This has,
naturally, stimulated live stock pro
duction In the surrounding country.
These and similar methods are de
signed to afford the farmer easy ac
cess to the large outside markets.
Without them he Is practically de
pendent on the local butcher and the
local dealer or shipper. In selling to
the butcher frequently little or no at
tention Is paid to market conditions.
Hogs and cattle are slaughtered on
numerous farms when the weather
turns cool, with the result that the
market Is glutted. This means low
prices, which the farmer must accept
because the product Is perishable. To
some extent. It Is suggested by the de
partment's experts, a remedy for this
situation may be found In better meth
ods of curing meat at home, and also
by taking advantage of the refrigera
tion facilities afforded by local Ice
NO POOR IN NEW ZEALAND
Greater Demand for Appliances That
Add to Comfortable Living Pre
dicted by Uncle 8am.
A more widespread use of electricity
In New Zealand and a greater demand
for the various appliances that add to
comfortable living are predicted In a
report on New Zealand's markets for
electrical goods made public by Uncle
Sam's bureuu of foreign and domestic
commerce.
The standard of living Is good In the
Island, says the report, and there Is an
absence of a poor class, but there are
some modern conveniences of which
the people have not generally taken
advantage. In the electrical field this
Is quite noticeable, a fact attributed
In part to the rigid requirements of the
fire underwriters and In part to the
natural conservatism of the people.
Of the total Imports of $2,300,000
worth of electrical goods In 1913, the
United States supplied 15 per cent,
England 65 per cent, Germany 5 per
cent nnd Sweden about 5.4 per cent.
In 1914, during which the war made
Itself felt on shipping, the total Im
ports were valued at $2,136,000, of
which the United States contributed
14.4 per cent.
A Huge Shadow.
Shadows, naturally enough are of
various sizes, and one can Imagine
that mountains throw very large shad

of Tenerlffe, on the largest of the
Canary Islands, throws such a huge
shadow that It stretches as far aa 00
miles' across the water, partly over

a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. By morn

Sage and Sulphur Compound, Is that
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications. It also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives It
an appearance of abundance.

to wrap it up and save it for tomor
