CHEERFUL WORDS.

For Many a Rensselaer Household. To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed—to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous uninary disorders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Rensselaer readers. » Mrs. R. E. Scott, Van Rensselaer St, Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan's Kidney Pills whenever my kidne yshave become disordered and I give them credit for the excellent health I now enjoy. By putting my kidneys in good condition, Doan’s have saved me from the suffering I used to have from the steady ache across my kidneys, pains in my back and other symptoms of kidney trouble. Doan’s are fine and I advise anyone troubled as I was to use them.” “ Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doanes Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Sccott had.

BED GROSS FUTURE IS LINKED WITH ROLL CALL

Davisen, War Council Hoad, Outlines Tasks That Lie Ahead Next week's Red Cross Christmas Roil Call for members Is characterized as “the foundation of the Red Cross” by Chairman H. P. Davison of the Red Cross War Council in his statement describing the future of the Red Cross. “Wherever our soldiers and sailors may be, the Red Cross will stay with them until they are demobilized. Nothing which we may dp will be left undone, either for the men in the war zone, their families at home, to whom will continue to be devoted the ministrations of the Red Cross Home Service,** promisee Mr. Davison. Volunteer Aid Needed. "The wake of the war will, however, reveal the prevalence of disease, and give rise to emergencies Which in all parts of the world will call for unlimited voluntary effort "Here will be the opportunity for the American Red Cross. Bui even our Red Cross must not act and cannot act most effectively alone; we must labor in cooperation with the national Red Cross and relief societies of other nations, to the end that not alone the heart of America but the heart of all mankind may be mobilized on behalf of suffering humanity.** Mr Davison deciares the American Red Cross to be planning “to develop its permanent organization In this country on a scale never before contemplated in time of peace.**

Home Work to Grow. “Study,” he says, “is being given by the national organization not alone to problems of international relief,.but to plans in this country for enlarged home service, promotion of public health education, development of nursing, care and prevention of accidents yd other co-related lines which may contribute to the health and happiness of men. women and children. “The work of supplementing governmental activities, which the Red Cross will be called upon to do in all parts of the world, will be upon a great scale, but it will call for human service rather than for large expenditures. “What the Red Cross needs now is not so much contributions of money, as the continued devotion and loyalty of its members. Join and Servel “Annual membership involves the payment of only one dollar. “The money thus received not only defrays aH' the administrative expenses of the organization, but leaves a substantial balance, which, together with all funds subscribed directly tor relief, are solely devoted to that purpose. “The Roll Call of the nation is thus to be caned at Christmas time, that througfi enrollment in the Red Cross the American people may send a message to soldiers still overseas and to the peoples of the world that we are not merely content with seeing our arms united with our allies in victory, but that oar abiding purpose is that the love, the sympathy and the intelligence of all America shall be rededicated to the permanent service of mankind.”

EXILED BELGIAN TOTS SEND GREETINGS 10 U. S. CHILDREN

"Long live the alfiesl Long live Belgium! Long live the United States of America! Honor to the American Red Cross and to its Caamdsston for Belgium! "The Belgian setMton, boys and gMs, in exile in the Havre rsgton, appreciate with a deep emotion the value and the reality of the high services rendered by the American Red Cross to the Belgian population, driven out of their dear country, and refugees in a foreign land. “They have themselves folt Its constant and generous solicitude, always ready where there la a good to do, a infamy to relieve, a nriefortane to eoaafort. “They also send their gratafol and moat affectionate remembrance to the kind children of America, whose tothen and big brothers have crossed the Mg oeean either for the American Bed Ooas or in the gallant, powerfal and glorious American army so share in the triumph and the right ot dvffisation, to help the Belgians roeonstrnct their homes, and—to sava< their country. “Fraternal and cordial gseettign to our little comrades, toe I M ericas toholars.”

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAMING. The Potash Situation. “The possibility of securing supplies of potash from Europe in time for mixing in fertilizers to be used this coming spring is remote, writes Milton Whiting, chief of U. S. Bureau of Soils. His letter goes on to rehearse the potash conditions in this country, most of Which are well understood by our farmers. Muriate of potash is bqjng produced at Los Angeles, Cal., containing 3% per cent borax; Unfortunate results with this class of material makes it very unpopular in this loCal The potash produced around Antioch, Lake Side, Hoffland and Alliance, Nebraska, is more promising, and at the request of D. S. Makeever, the writer has made a complete of this material. It runs from 25 to 30 per cent potash and costs about 2135 per ton set down in Jasper county. High cost of production is more responsible for this price than the demand, which is not heavy. The best suggestion that can be made at this time is that those needing miaterial for next spring Should make arrangements with their Agent at once as there is little hope of lower price. More Shorthorns. William Hershman, of Walker township, has returned from Logansport, where he purchased two registered Shorthorn heifers from Maurice Winn. These animals are of straight Scotch breeding and were secured at a cost of $1290. Hershman believes in stocking with the best and will make a valuable addition to the livestock breeding fraternity.

Cora Growers to Meet. A meeting of all farmers interested in greater production of corn will be held at the Court House Saturday afternoon, December 14th, at 2 o’clock. The purpose of the meeting will be to take definite steps to secure the improvement desired and an interesting program has been arranged. The public is invited to attend. A Cause for <Low Cora Yields Discovered Dr. George Hoper, stationed at Lafayette by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, is about to announce one of the most important discoveries relating to. plant diseases ever made. In corn breeding experiments it has often been observed that a wed] 'bred ear when planted would produce only barren stalks or nubbins. The law of “like produces Tike” seemed to be suspended. Dr. Hoper has discovered that the most common cause of .barren stalks and nubbins is a germ disease known as root and joint rot, which attacks the vitality of the plants and prevents proper development. The disease is transmitted through the seed only. Dr. Hoper has discovered a method of detecting the presence of this disease on the plant in the fall and in the seed corn in the spring. Preliminary arrangements have been made for a demonstration. of this work in Jasper county, according to the following plan: * One hundred farmers will each be asked to contribute one seed ear. Dr. Hoper will examine these and announce which are diseased and will produce yields. The 100 ears will then be planted, each in a separate row in such a place that all interested farmers may follow the course of the disease durng the summer and check up on the accuracy of Dr. Hoper’s method of detecting the disease.

Volunteers for farmers to carry on this work next summer are in order. Food Show ! The results of the combination food show held by the Home Demonstration' Agent and the Home Economics Club of Rensselaer was a success in every way. Every township but one was represented in the donation for the county hospital. The county ladies donated: 350 quarts of canned food; pumpkin, potatoes, squash, cabbage, carrots, beets, butter, eggs, lard and a fine assortment of clean clothes. The canning clubs donated part and some all of their exhibit. The committee in charge wish to thank the ladies for their good work. Mrs. Fyfe, who acted as chairman at Wheatfield, Mrs. Halleck at DeMotte and Mrs. Rainier of Remington and Carpenter township, sent in a very large assortment of supplies. The boys and girls "Were awarded prizes for their summer’s work on Saturday. A number that had completed the work as to record books and stories failed to iriake an exhibit. All three were required.
