I representing the National industrial Conservation Movement, in an address before the congress of the Daughters lof the American Revolution in Washington, D. C. “Now is the, time we need the industrial forces of the country; men and women alike will be a • great service army, a notable host engaged in the service of the nation and the world. Wo must all speak, act, and serve together.” Continuing Mis. Kildare said: “As a body of women representing the best that history and tradition has given to the nation, with your heritage of equality, you can not help but respond as a body to tins great need of the times and form yourselves into a force as irresistible as the cataract of Niagara and demonstrate to the world that the American woman means to be a potent factor in this crusade for world democracy." There are several large classes of ! American citizens who have not as I yet been effectually reached by organi ized conservation. Often there are I workers in specialized industries far I from centers of population whose meal service has to be arranged especially I for them, either in central dining halls or in company stores. In the far west and in Canada efforts have been made to Teach employers and workers in the lumber camps. While some good | work has been done the lumber camp I remains a source of great waste. A I large coal operators' association in Virginia is now taking up tlie matter of conservation of wheat in the operators’ retail stores. This is a matter that has to be handled through a careful campaign of education. Demonstrations are to l>e held at various stores with tlie particular purpose of interesting the women. At the same time, through measures to bring the war home, to the men. it is hoped to secure a degree of coopration in , saving. We have become accustomed to the idea of conservation by the consumer, and wo have come to know something about conservation by the manufacturer and in trade practices. There still remains a broad field in which waste is possible, and to which measures of saving may be applied. A movement has been projected through conference of many of tlie agencies interested by which there may result a reduction in the waste of thrashing wheat. One authority states that in the state of Kansas alone there is an annual waste in thrashing of over 2,000.000 bushels. The amount of the wheat crop lost to the nation, accord ing to some authorities, may run from 1 to 10 per cent. The grain thrashing division of the United States Grain Corporation, cooperating witli county thrashing committees throughout th< nation, is undertaking to solve thtf problem of waste at the source. Here is a fundamental step in oonservatioii one which calls for the sympathetic co operation of everyone concerned.

: THE MAKING OF . A FAMOUS ■ MEDICINE t How Lydia E. Pinkham's p « Vegetable Compound is Prepared For Woman’s Use. r " A visit to the laboratory whore this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reliability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness H which attends the making of this great • medicine for woman's ills. Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs are used anualiy and aii have to ba 11 gathered at the season of the year when i' their natural juicej and medicinal sub- . stances are at their best. The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs. Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized 1 and as a final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles. It is the wonderful combination of 1 roots and herbs, together with the ] skill and care used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of > female ills. The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Comr pound which we are continually pub- , fishing attest to its virtue.

I Our men on the firing line are physl- ! cally fit for military service because only about one wan out of five was chosen to endure the hardships of this fearful war. But we must not be content with 20 per cent, in physical health of our American youth. We cannot afford to lose four men out of five because of physical unfitness. I Such weaknesses can be cured. Many times the kidneys are to blame. If the kidneys are clogged with ; toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness in the knees in the morning on , arising, your joints seem “rusty,” you may have rheumatic pains, pain in the back, stiff neck, headaches, sometimes swollen feet, or neuralgic pains—all due to uric acid or toxic I poisons stored in the blood and which should be swept out. Then procure at your nearest drug . store Anuric (double strength). The i cost is 60 cents. This An-u-ric drives I the uric acid out. Send Dr. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel, 1 Buffalo, N.
