SEED CORN FOR STATE FARMERS TO BESECURED Will Be Obtained Through Campaign Starting Week of February 4. , - . INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 15. Good seed corn for Indiaria farmers is to be obtained through a systematic campaign, starting the week of February 4 with a survey of the state's sup- , ply of seed corn. . Under the endorsement and with the co-operation of the state and coun-

ty councils of defense throughout Indiana, and under the immediate direc tion of Prof. O. I. Christie, State Food Director, the state Is being divided into six districts, each with a responsible director, and the survey not only will taken In the seed corn situation. but will Include a survey of every farm and its needs. The United States Department of Agriculture requested that the survey be made in Indiana as In other states, and the Sate Council of Defense, at its meeting Jan. 9, approved the suggestion and got busy on the problem. War Movies Provided. ' War movies provided by the Committee on Public Information at Wash- ' tngton are to be used in Indiana by the State Council of Defense. These ' movies not only are to show American war preparations, but also are to in- ' elude French battle pictures supplied i by the French government to the Unit4 ed States government. Thirty reels are to be bought for display In In- , - dlana, and it is planned to use other reels to be released later from time to time. Robert Lleber, a picture man of , Indianapolis., with a committee of fifty mov'.e men from over the state, will direct the work of putting the war . movies before Indiana people. .Prof. Christie reported that Indiana ; dairy men at this time are negotiating for thirty car loads of milch cows outtide the state, and. suggested to the state council of defense that this situation did not indicate that Indiana fan uiers are quitting the dairy business. Leaders To Be Listed. It was reported that in some counties men who have been exempted ' from military service in order that '' they might continue farm work have lost interest in all forms of labor. The food production committee is to work out a plan for keeping those loafers in productive activities. The committee! i3 to recommend a plan to the defense council. One county reported that 400 agricultural exemptions have been granted, and that many exempted men were "loafing around livery stables." Plans for supply a large increase in ' the number of wool-bearing animals for Indiana to meet the war emerg- . ency call for wool, were presented to the state defense council by William Holton Dyet In general the plan is to add to Indiana flocks some 30,000 ewes ' a number equal to the number of sol- .. diers sent to the colors by the state. The plan was referred to the food com- , mittee. The movement to interest Indiana farmers in increased wool production already is in operation, the . ewes being obtained in other states. ' The venture is being suggested both as good business and practical patriotIsm. The Indiana State Council of Defense has Interpreted its recent resolution suggesting a conference looking to suspension of Indianapolis railroad track elevation during the war so as to provide for a hearing on the facts before any recommendation shall be made to the director-general of railroads. In the meantime, the matter has been put up to the federal railroad administration for its consideration, with all arguments for and against the suspension. The defense council's resolution passed a month ago. was in accord with a request made by Secretary of War Baker that nonessential work be postponed to re- . lease cars and labor for war work.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Deliver ies over parcel post roads aggregating between three and four thousand miles by motor truck within the next three months, is the aim announced by Postmaster General Burleson. , One chain of motor truck routes will link up Portland, Me., with New Orleans and another will cover a large stretch of territory in Ohio. Illinois, Indiana and West Virginia. Routes to be established on the Pacific coast will pass through Stockton and Fruitdale, between Redlands and Los Angeles, a distance of seventy-six miles. It is the belief of the postoffice de partment that the operation of these routes and others to be established will materially aid In the distribution and in lowering the cost of food products. The existing law does not provide for the employment of government owned motor trucks on rural delivery routes, nor does it require the rural carriers to use motor vehicles. Some of the Routes. Operating under the law as it now stands, motor truck routes, some under contract and some operated with government owned motor trucks, are in process of establishment from: , New York city to Port Jervis, N.

When you wake up with backache and -dull misery in the uaaey region it aenerally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys In their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve J -ur bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have headache, sick headacne. dixsy speus; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The . urine Is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times durins; the nlsnt. Either consult a good reliable phy sician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; 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 has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful, effervescent llthia-water drink. Adv.

WHAT EVERY AMERICAN CAN DO , From an Editorial In the New York Evening World. Not : every American can fight. Not every American can be immediately assigned to the various kinds of work which most obviously contribute to the winning of the war. . But no American, whatever he is doing, need be even a half loafer. No American need even remotely ally himself with the waste man power which ought long since to have ben drafted from street corners and the back rooms of saloons for the tasks of, the war. No American ned think he has only to sit tight and take it easy unless he is conscripted for some special war Job. If this war is going to be wen, Americans at home have got to work willingly." and overtime, if need be, for one another. Food, fuel and other necessities must be produced and distributed with a far higher degree of regularity and efficiency than hitherto. Ordinary business must - he pushed ahead with fresh energy In all directions that , make for industry and confidence. Among the .high spiritual resolutions, therefore, with which Americans . enter upon another momentous year, let them not forget a plain and practical one: Let each and every one resolve to do a full day's work and loaf away none of the nation's time and energy. SAGE AND SULPHUR DARKENS GRAY HAIR Nobody can Tell when yon Darken Gray, Faded Hair with Sage Tea. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and ulphur. properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, you win get a large oottie ox i this famous old recipe, improved ty the addition of other Ingredients, for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened vour hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft i brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a deligtful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
