-t Southington Home * Hartford, April 18.—Governor Mar- ‘cus H. Holcomb, Connecticut’'s 72- |years old chief executive, will spend 'considerable time hoeing this sum- |miér, for he announced today that he ~~1had ploughed about an acre of land 'at his home in Southington, and would ‘do the work himself.. He has made lapplication for the necessary seed po- !tatoes to the.Connecticut Committee %ot Food Supply, which he appointed a 'week ago to work for increased food production in'the state. “I ‘do not believe in asking other 'people to do things I am not willing 'to .do myself” said the governor. “I {want every citizen of this state to Inlu ome food crops this summer land T am going to try my hand at hoe- {ing potatoes. I believe there is health iin the hoe. At the present time no _lother factor in the national situa- tlon {s of greater importance than + lintelligent precautionary preparation s secure the largest possible supply 3 } af foods. This year we will be called ~i{upon to feed' other nations now at " !war, if the conflict comes to an end i Isoon. The demands upon us will be * }greater if it should drag on through ;a. long period. Every man must do his part and I propose to do mine.” Appeal to Manufacturers. Connecticut manufacturers are urged Hn a letter being sent out by the Con- . {necticut Committee of Food Supply !to take up without delay some garden lan for their employes. The com- imittee has sent with these lectters copies of a 'model home garden scheme which it recommends to-the manufacturers. The suggestion is /made that conveniently located vacant land beé ploughed and that it be of: éred to employes for heir use under " |expert supervision and that a charge jbe made for the use:of each plot to fcover the cost of preparing the land ‘lbuying the fertilizer. ! The letter sent out to the manu- Hacturers is as follows: +“Gentlemen: "As you are doubtless aware, a great deal s being said and printed all over ‘the gtate concerning possible methods ‘of increasing the food supply. Many ; 'different sdgencies are more or less --:uvely engaged in pushing the vari- ous so-called “home garden” schemes. “This committee is desirous of worlflng ‘with_all such organizations and equally anxious not Q’?’Inter- _Zere in any way'in any wi 3r un- * Jdertaking. Therefore, if the “line of *work_we would suggest for your con- pideration is already being taken care ©of as far as your employes are con- cefned, we would only ask you to no- tifv us on the encloaegi ca}'d } *A great many manufactiriiy ‘con- JegEns. in this state own land which is ‘smitable for.gardening .or agricultural ‘purposes, but which is at present not . being made use of. “Our suggestion is that such land be plowed, fertilized and made ready for planting as far as this can be done, by the use of horsedrawn tools; that it then be offered to your employes for their use, but such use to be un- der the supervision of a man who un- derstands gardening and general crop production. “ ™A charge should be made for $ach plot to cover the cost of preparation . of the land and buying the fertilizer. A contribution of the manufacturer ‘would pay the cost of the employment of a supervisor. It would seem that a man fitted for this work could be found among almost any factory force. “Tke actual work would of course be done outside the working hours and on Sundays. . = _“The land could be wused either for garden purpose plots, or to grow such crops as potatoes, beans and ‘Gther mon-perishable praducts.

Washington ‘Bar Entry to Ports; Establishes Sea Defense Areas LAYING MINES TO PROTECT HARBOR— The accompanying map shows the sea défense areas fixed and proclaimed by the United States government, and the photograph is that of sailors lay- ing mines for the protection of an American harbor, ‘Washington has announced that no incoming vessels will be permitted to enter the chief ports of the' United States without satisfying the harbor patrols as to their identity. None but government vessels will be allowed to cross the forbidden areas between sun- ditions more easy for its employes and at the same time encourage the spirit of thrift @nd co-operation among them. “This committee will be found ready at al] times to assist in any way. We can furnish#men on short notice to make estimates of cost of preparing land, to examine such land as to its fitness for the crop to be produced, and, should such a plan be put into operation, we can also furnish men to give advice to supervisors whenever necessary.” Food for Thought. The Connecticut Committee on Food Supply has taken up the matter of buying a large quantity of seed po- tatoes for distribution to Connecticut farmers at cost, plus freight and cart- ing. The committee members believe that this plan will prevent any pos- sible unwarranted price advances by seed and farm supply dealers dn the state ‘which might otherwise result from a shortage in the supply of seed potatoes.

The American men and women must guard constantly ‘against Kid- ney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is. filled with uric acid, which the kidneys strive to fliter out, they weaken from overwork, become slug- gish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, blad- der weakness and a general decline in health. 4 ‘When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or your are obliged to seek relief or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheuma- tism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- mous salts is made from the acld of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; canhnot in- jure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time. to discuss problems arising out of the | application of the new immigration law.
