This is somewhat less than the amount the legislature appropriated two years ago. Only about $500,000 is asked for buildings, the remainder to be used for educational purposes. When 4,500,000 Red Cross seals H. W. Hill, executive secretary of the Minnesota Public Health asso- ciation, asked the national commit- tee for another 1,000,000. He re- ceived but 800,000 and investigation showed that never in the history of the movement have so many seals been disposed of. More than three times as many seals have been sold in Minnesota this year, if all are dis- posed of by January 1, than were sold last year. The total in 1913 was 1,800,000. The number obtain- ed in this state this winter is 5,- 300,000. First in Ten Years. ‘When Governor Eberhardt reads his farewell message to the legisla- ture Wednesday, Jan. 6, it will be the first time in ten years that such a message has been delivered in Min- nesota. Never before in the history of the state has such a lapse of time occur- red between such messages. This is due to the fact that since Van Sant returned to private life in January, 1905, no governor has been unseated by election except Eberhardt. John A. Johnson, who succeeded Van Sant in 1905, was re-elected in| 1906 and 1908. He died in 1909 and Eberhardt, then lieutenant gov- ernor, succeeded him automatically. Eberhardt succeeded himself in 1910 and 1912, but was defeated by W, E. Lee at the primary election in June, 1914. The present governor will de- liver his farewell address at the same time that Governor Hammond reads his inaugural at the joint session of | both houses of the legislature the sec- ond day of the next session.

W. A. Orton. a United States department of agriculture pathologist, says that a large part of the territory of southern, 2 south central and western states obtains better results from seed potatoes grown near the north- ern border of Maine, New York, Minnesota and other northern states. Replanting diseased seed po- tatoes in the same localities merely brings poor stock. Fresh potatoes from distant points, mi- nus blemishes, will cure the evil The fact that newly irrigated or recently deforested portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi- gan are being planted to pota- toes makes the information more valuable. Seeding these new patches with sick or blemished potatoes spells failure for new growers. The essential thing here as elsewhere is healthy seed pota- toes, preferably obtained from distant points. Thus if a garden has been blighted with bad seed @ potatoes, it may eventually be % purified by better stock, cultiva- 9 tion and fertilizatio: some plan should be provided for a more simple and speedy procedure.— Mora Times. TO USE SURPLUS POTASH. Chemists Report That Crops Are In No Immediate Danger. Because of the action of the Ger- man government in prohibiting the ex- portation of concentrated potash salts reports have been made indicating that farmers were becoming alarmed over the consequences of a possible restric- tion in the supply of commercial fer- tilizers. Manufacturing chemists say, however, that there is no danger of a failure of a reasonable crop produc- tion on this account. One of these chemists has given his views as follows: Potash is one of the three elements most essential to plant growth. Prac- tically all soils suitable for farming contain potash in available and also in unavailable form. As plant life takes potash only to the extent of its needs, if there is any excess in the soil it will remain until used, as potash does not leach out of the ground. Fortu- nately many farmers have been using potash in increased amounts each year, so that the soil is better sup- plied with available potash than was the case a few years ago, and there probably remains in the soil a supply which has not been assimilated. The problem of the individual farm- er is to conserve his potash, which can be done in the following way: Green manuring or turning under a cover crop, dressing heavily with barn- yard manure, balancing chicken ma- nure with nitrate of soda dnd acid phosphate, saving wood ashes to mix i with nitrate of soda and acid phos- phate and rendering inert soil potash available. Nitrate of soda will do more than any other agent to render soil potash available. The potash that can be made available in the soil is usually in the form of hydrated silicate of potash and alumina. The nitrogen in nitrate of soda, having been assimilat- ed by the plants. leaves a residue of soda which acts on the hydrated sili- cate of porash and alumina and ren- ders the potash avaiiable. As the amount of petash which can be made available in any soil is quite limited. the process of freeing it is only a temporary measure to meet an emergency. and it must eventually be replaced. Every 100 pounds of nitrate of soda will split off fifty to fifty-five pounds of actual potash and assure successful crops for a time where no additiona) potash is used. all of his political fences.—Prince- ton Union. ! —— | AIP the nations engaged in the; Great War have an alibi ready to| prove that they are not responsible! for the crime of the century.

It is not true that every pain in the back or hips is trouble “peculiar |to the sex.” Often when the kidneys get congested and inflamed, such aches and pains follow. You can tell it is kidney trouble if the secretions are dark colored, con- tain sediment; the passages are too frequent or scanty. Then help the weakened kidneys. Don’t expect them to get 'well alone. Doan’s Kidney Pills have won the praise of thousands of women. They are endorsed at home—Read this Be- midji woman’s convincing statement: Mrs. M. Sullivan, 1015 Bemidji Bemidji, Minn., says: “I cannot give Doan’s Kidney Pills more praise than thair merit deserves. I have taken them off and on as mneeded during the past several years and they have always proven a good kid- ney and backache remedy. It is a pleasure for me to make the merit of this remedy known.”. Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Sullivan had.

Petrograd, Dec. 11.—Persist: ent attacks by the Germans within forty miles of Warsaw are admitted in the official statements from the war office. It was stated that on Dec. 7 the Germans began an advance along the entire fifty-mile front from Ilow to Glovno. They were repulsed.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheu- matic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis- orders. You simply must keep your kidncrs active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kiduey region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, {thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications. A well-known local druggist says he gells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. LADIES! DARKEN YOUR' GRAY HAIR Look years younger! Use Grand- mother’s recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur and nobody will know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it o keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this sim- ple mixture was applied with wenderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- edy,” you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandru., dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the bair so naturally end evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking ome strand at = time.
