Help That Bad Back!
Why be miserable with a “bad back?”
It’s time you found out what is wrong!
Kidney weakness often causes much
suffering from backache, lameness,
rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness
and kidney irregularities. Neglected,
it may lead to dropsy, gravel or Bright’s
disease, but if taken in time it is usu-
ally easily corrected by using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Doan's have helped
thousands. Ask your neighbor!
A Texas Case
Mrs. G. N. Swann,
S. Montgomery St.,
Gilmer, Texas, says:
“My kidneys were out
of order. I had back-
aches and felt dull and
miserable and had no
energy. I often had
headaches and the ac-
tion of my kidneys
was irregular. My feet
and ankles were
swollen. The least
cold made the troubles
worse. I used Doan’s
Kidney Pills and they
soon cured me of all
signs of the trouble.”

CHILDHOOD’S TRIBUTE
Their Granddaddy Who Fought for the Union in the Civil War Is Remem-
bered on Memorial Day.
2ZIZI
Raised First
Civil War
Monument
The unique distinction of having
erected the first soldiers’ monument
“to commemorate the death of those
who perished in suppressing the Con-
federacy” belongs to the little town of
Kensington, Conn. For fifty years a
slender shaft of plain, brown sand-
stone, hewn from the famous Con-
necticut river quarries at Portland,
has held the place of honor on the
Kensington green and served as a fit-
ting memorial to six boys from the
village who died fighting in the early
part of the Civil war.
The history of the Kensington monu-
ment is an interesting one. In March
1863, when the contract for the monu-
ment was originally made, the fate of
the nation was still hanging in the
balance. Several months before the
great victory of Gettysburg, at the
patriotic instigation of Rev. Elias B.
Hilliard, pastor of the Kensington Con-
gregational church, the agitation for
a soldiers’ monument began. When
$350 had finally been raised by public
subscription, the designing of the mon-
ument was entrusted to a local artist
of some note, who working along con-
ventional lines succeeded admirably in
producing a simple, dignified monu-
ment of pleasing proportions. As a
result few towns the size of Kensing-
ton have soldiers’ monuments which.,
serve their patriotic purpose as well
as this one, for unfortunately it is apt
to be the exception rather than the
rule when a soldiers’ monument of
Civil war origin does not have quite
the opposite effect.
If the fate of the nation was still
hanging in the balance when the Ken-
sington monument was contracted for,
the dedication, July 28, 1863, after
Grant’s great victory at Vicksburg and
Meade’s at Gettysburg, came at a most
opportune time, for now the tide of
war had turned in the North’s favor.
The semi-centennial of the dedication
of the Kensington monument was cele-
brated by the Connecticut G. A. R. and
the people of Kensington, whose pa-
triotic predecessors were the first ones
in the country to express their feelings
by erecting a public memorial to the
soldiers of their tovlh who had lost
their lives in the Civil war.—From the
Boston Transcript.
CMoral LessonA
Taught by
It is a great thing to have such a
demonstration as was given us during
the wars of the United States of the
capacity of men for sacrifice, for it
makes us think better of our kind.
The soldiers in all our wars were in
no way different from their friends and
neighbors. Drawn from the great
masses of our people they were repre-
sentative of them. More broadly, they
were representatives of humanity—
that humanity of which so many seem
to despair. Heroism is no unusual
thing in the life of man, and in great
crises it is the rifle. The World war
furnished a new proof of this to the
generation that has grown up since
our civil struggle, and that knows it
only as a great historical event. There
ought to be a renewal and strengthen-
ing of faith In man, and a new birth
of optimism. America is the one coun-
try above all others in which there
should be no place for doubters and
whiners. Rather the feeling should be
that jvhat men have done men can. do,
and that there is no task beyond the
powers of Americans, nor any sacrifice
which they will not make at the call
of duty. The heroic strain in the blood
has not died out—as we learned dur-
ing the years of war. The problem is
one of making effective the great quali-
ties and applying them to life. And
the problem is by no means easy. The
proper ajnd reveretot observance of
Memorial day will help toward a solu-
tion. Gratitude there must always be
to the men who saved the Union, and
laid anew the foundations for a great-
er and nobler national life. Though
our gratitude can not profit those who
were killed in the war, or have died
since,- grateful hearts have a beneficial
effect on, those who possess them. In-
gratitude, on the other hand, is one
of the basest of sins. And nothing can
be more destructive than selfishness,
which is the antithesis of sacrifice.
The moral value of the teaching of
the day is of enormous value. It is
the day of men who preferred national
well-being and safety to personal ease
and pleasure—to life itself. It is
through that spirit only that the land
can be redeemed, and kept true to the
great ideals in behalf of which brave
men have gladly given their lives.
HONORS FALLEN HERO
The wayside shrine, tnat silent in-
vitation to worship frequently met.
with along the highways and byways
of Europe, is a rare sight in this coun-
try. Such monuments of piety seem
somehow out of place in an American
landscape, but we have learned much
from the contacts of the great war,
and in years to come the simple shrine
may seem a natural memorial to a
hero who fell on Flanders field or
French hillside. One of the few
shrines erected here was put in place
not long ago near Philadelphia, as
a tribute to the memory of United
States soldiers who gave up their
lives in France. A son had been killed
in the war, and his parents set up
this remembrance of him on their es-
tate, but near the highroad within
sight of all passers-by. The Church
News describes the shrine and its
setting in a recent issue. It stands
“in a charming sylvan nook formed by
a high, heavily wooded hill.” Beside
it, we read, “flows a murmuring brook,
symbol of the eternal continuity of
life. Surrounding it are evergreen
trees, and shrubs typifying the unre-
mitting care of God for his creatures.
In front, but a few paces away, runs
Valley Green road, typifying the high-
ways of life, prepared by saints and
martyrs and heroes who have toiled
and died that we might live and walk
securely in our pilgrimage to the Un-
seen City of God.” In its general con-
ception and design the shrine is said
to be similar to the shrines so often
seen by our soldiers in France, and
always viewed with respect by them.”
The granite pedestal which supports
the marble baldachin contains the
crucifix and the statue of a soldier.—

DAIRY
POINTS
NEED OF BULL ASSOCIATION
County Agent Obliged to Hustle
Around and Arrange for Exchange
of Purebred Sire.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
“I was in Mecklenburgh county,
North Carolina, some weeks ago,” says
a field man of the dairy division,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, “and had an opportunity of wit-
nessing an incident/which throws new
light on the usefulness of the bull-
association organization. There is an
association in that county, and I was
invited to ‘sit in’ at a meeting of the
Bull Associations Should Get the Best
Bulls Obtainable.
board of directors. The question of
holding a sale came up, and the coun-
ty agent read a letter he bad received
from some farmers in another com-
munity who wanted to buy stock, and
were coming to Mecklenburgh county
to see what they could get. The di-
rectors appointed a committee to re-
ceive them and show them around.
“Thus this piece of business was
provided for, and placed in the hands
of the right persons. Otherwise the
county agent would have had to give
up other work he had on hand, and
search for some one to whom he could
refer the visitors, and go with them.
Even then he would not have had the
information so readily available as
these breeders themselves had it.
“In another county I saw a differ-
ent thing, which shows how the coun-
ty agent is loaded down with work
where there is no such organization.
He had succeeded in getting a number
of farmers in different parts of the
county to take up pure breeding, and
had placed Some good bulls with
them. These sires had now been used
for two years, and a change had to
be made. So the county agent found
it necessary to hustle around and ar-
range exchanges among these farm-
ers to keep the good sires at work;
otherwise the owners would have sold
them, and might have neglected to
buy new ones, and might have lost
the use of a good bull. If there had
been a bull association in the county
it would have attended to the business
of exchanging, as one of its regular
functions, and left the county agent
free to take up other important work.”
FEEDING VALUE OF POTATOES
Rank Below Good Corn Silage on Ac-
count of Higher Percentage of
Moisture in Former.
From the standpoint of feeding
value for dairy cows, it may be said
that potatoes rank below good corn
silage. The latter contains about 26
per cent dry matter and the former,
about 21 per cent. The chemical pom-
position of raw potatoes and corn
silage is very similar. Both contain
about 1 per cent of digestible protein
and between 16 and 17 per cent' of di-
gestible carbohydrates and fats, but
potatoes coniain somewhat mqre mois-
ture than well-cured corn silage. Po-
tatoes at 36 cents a bushel would
cost $12 a ton, whereas silage is worth
less than one-half that price under
present conditions.
PROVIDING SALT FOR COWS
Best Plan Is to Give Animals Constant
Supply—Ounce Each Day Is
About Right.
The best way to provide salt for the
cows is to give them a constant sup-
ply so they have easy access to it.
The average cow will use about half
a pound a week. If salt is provided
daily an ounce each day will be about
right, giving' more or less according
to the demands of the individual ani-
mals. Cows giving milk require more
than those not in lactation.
INCREASING YIELD OF COWS
Foreign Competition Can Be Elimi-
nated by Better Breeding, Right
Feed and Care.
Better breeding, the right kind and
amount of feed and good care are the
only ways .the production of our dairy
cows can be increased.' When this is
done, foreign countries flooding pur
markets with their butter will have to
look elsewhere for customers.
Number of Eggs to Set.
Fifteen eggs are enough for any hen
to cover, and during very cold weath-
er or with very small hens, better re-
sults will often be secured if no more
than 11 or 13 eggs are allowed to each
one.
The Barn.
The dairy barn with a lot of ex-
pensive fixtures is not absolute neces-
sary.

gia, Rheumatism, Earache, Toothache,
Lumbago and for Pain. Handy tin
boxes of twelve Bayer Tablets of As-
pirin cost few cents. Druggists also

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
!An examining physician for one of tha
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as-
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bittle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.—Adv.
