[Washington, April 9.—Can we

men's work this summer on the

I ask this question because it is
bssible that thtr summer the Unit-
States may jp In as great need

munition makers, But whether the
actual opportunity comes this year
or not, preparedness of the individ-
ual for war or for peace demands
that American farm women be
ready for every possible emergency.
It la well within the bounds of
probability that the available farm
labor of the United States will be
materially reduced by the calling of
many men to other and more haz-
ardous duties than sowing and
reaping.
It is physically possible for the
farm women of America to aid our
economic preparedness in the event
that a war summons' an immense
army to the colors. To handle
modern farm implements Is not
necessarily beyond a woman a
strength. With a good team and a

more pleasant than washing. The
spring seat of a binder compares
favorably with the comfort of a pi-

are more fun than riding a hay-
rake. Even plowing with a sulky
plow is not too heavy a strain for
some Amorican women.
Every farm girl and woman
should proceed at once to master
the elements of practical scientific
farming. Those who can should
attend short courses In agricultural
schools and every one should ask
questions, observe, and read bulle-
tins.
The Department of Agriculture
has issued a concise, simple, practi-
cal primer of scientific agriculture
for the Middle West—Farmers' Bui
letin No. 704—which can be ob-
tained through Congressmen or di-
rectly from the Agriculture Depart-
ment, Similar bulletins for other
regions are now under preparation.
Every farm girl and woman,
moreover should, by all means, take
a hand In actual farm operations go
as to handle tractors, horses and
farm implements readily and skill-
fully. Those who do so will not
have to prepare AFTER the fighting

Time is the best test of truth.
Here In a Brenham story that has
stood the test of time. It Is a sto-
ry with a point which will come
straight home to many of us.
Mrs. J. W. Farmer, 411 E. Acad-
emy St., Brenham, gave the follow-
ing account of her experience on
March 21. 1912. She said: "Some
years ago I was troubled with my
kidneys. At times ray back got so
bad I could scarcely get about and 1
found It impossible to stoop or
stand erect. TW«r* was difficulty
with the kidney action. I tired
easily, had but little ambition and
was often so nervous, I thought 1
would go frantic. Two boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills drove away the
pains and restored my kidneys to
their normal condition."
On May 24. 1916. Mrs. Farmer
added to the above: "I still use
Doan's Kidney PiUjj when in need of
a Kidney medicine and they always
bring prompt relief."
