How many times we hear of compara tively young persons passing away when they should have lived to be 70 or 80 years of age. This fatal work is usually attri buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys degenerate, it causes auto-intoxication. The more injurious the poisons passing thru the kidneys the quicker will those noble organs be degenerated, and the sooner they decay. It is thus the wisest policy, to prevent premature old age and promote long life, to lighten the work of the kidneys. This can be done by drinking plenty of pure water all day long, and occasionally tak ing a little Anuric before meals. This can be obtained at almost any drug store. You will find Anuric more potent than lithia for it dissolves uric add os water does sugar. The supports for a recently con structed New Zealand wharf Include 20-ton concrete plies 100 feet long.

I oe* casionally use the remedy now in or der to keep the kid neys regulated. I have the highest praise for Dodd’s.

Aid of Every Citizen Needed to Make Victory Certain, He Declarea. Fighting Forces Only Port of Those That Must Wage War for Liberty. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, April 17.—“The Su preme test of the nation has come. We must all speak, act, and serve to gether!" In these solemn words Presi dent Wilsca concludes an address to the nation issued from the White House Sunday night, in which he ap peals to “My Fellow Countrymen” of both sexes, to enroll themselves in a vast “service army” to marshal and increase the economic resources of the United States for the most effect ive use in the war with Germany. “We are fighting,” says the Presi dent, “for what we believe and wish to be the rights of mankind, and for the future peace and security of the world. To do this grea.t thing worth ily and successfully, we must devote ourselves to the service without re gard to profit or material advantage and with an energy and intelligence that will rise to the level of the en terprise itself." As soon as Congress passes the ad ministration army bill providing for “selective conscription" to military service, the nation's man-power will be appraised and apportioned, 2,000,- 000 being told off or reserved for the fighting forces and the remainder be ing assigned to the economic “service army.” “Thousands, nay hundreds of thous ands, of men. otherwise liable to mili tary service," says the President,“will of right and necessity be excused from that service and assigned to the fundamental, sustaining work of the fields and factories and mines, and they will be as much a part of the great patriotic forces of the nation as the men under fire." The President’s appeal for the na tion’s defense may be thus summar ized: To Farmers:—Increase the produc tion of your land and co-operate in the sale and distribution of your products. To Men and Boys:—Turn in hosts to the farms to help cultivate and har vest the vast crops imperatively needed. To Middlemen:—Forego unusual profits and “organize and expedite shipments of supplies. To Railway Men:—See to it that there shall be no “obstruction of any kind; no inefficiency or slackened power” of the “arteries of the nation’s life.” To Merchants:—Take for your mot to “small profits and quick service.” To Shipbuilders:—Speed construc tion of ships, for ‘the life of the war depends upon you.” To Miners:—If you “slacken or fail, armies and statesmen are helpless.” To Manufacturing Men:—“Speed and perfect every process” for your “service is absolutely indispensable” to the nation. To Gardeners:—By creating and cul tivating gardens you can help “great ly to solve the problem of feeding the nation.” To Housewives:—Eliminate waste fulness and extravagance. To Editors and Advertising Agen cies:—G iv e widespread circulation and repetition to this appeal. Gordon Jones, Financier, Dead.

Administration sug gestions as to possible new sources of taxation through which to raise ap proximately one-half of the estimated cost of the first year of the war, or $1,807,250,000, were submitted by Sec retary McAdoo. The other half of the cost is to be provided by $2,000,000,000 of the bonds authorized by the war revenue bill. Outstanding in the suggestions are greatly increased income and excess profit tax rates, taxing of many im portant articles now admitted free, and stamp, liquor, amusement, sugar, coffee, tobacco, soft drinks, freight and passenger transportation receipts and automobile taxes. Probably the most far-reaching pro posal concerns income taxes. The sec retary estimates that 50 per cent in crease on both individuals and corpor ations for 1916, collectable next June, would yield $165,000,000 additional. For 1917 he points out that to lower income tax exemption from $3,000 to $1,500 for unmarried persons, from $4,- 000 to $2,000 for married persons, would produce $340,000,000. Five Thousand Plotters Arrested. Washington.—More than 6,000 sus pected Germans have been arrested in this country, and the number is ex pected soon to reach 10,000.

A German spy blew up the Eddystone plant, says an of flcial report filed. police have arrested several, and are searching for the master plotter, whose diabol ical crime killed 100 In Pennsylvania. COLORADO FOOD SUPPLY RAISE CROP ON EVERY POSSIBLE ACRE THIS YEAR. Proclamation From the Committee on Way* and Meant Appointed by Governor Gunter. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Room 20, State Capitol, Denver, April 11, 1917.—T0 The People of the State of Colorado: Hon. Julius C. Gunter. Gov ernor of the State of Colorado, has ap pointed the undersigned as a commit tee on ways and means to devise plans to meet the conditions regarding our food supply. That a serious food situ ation exists no one can question. Ths situation, which would have been se rious in any event, has been greatly aggravated by reason of the war, and is it exists today threatens a national calamity unless every effort is made by all of the people to avert it. In many parts of the great wheat producing states of Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska the winter wheat crop is almost a total failure. According to present indications Kansas, which produced 160,000,000 bushels in 1915, will not produce above 30,000,000 els from the coming harvest. The con dition of other staple food products throughout the country is hardly less alarming. For Instance, the potato crop of last year was close to 100,000,- 000 bushels short of normal. The av erage for the past five years is 344,- 000,000 bushels and the indications are that owin'g to the high cost of seed and fertiliser the potato crop this year will be short from twenty to forty per cent, of normal. Reserve stocks have been almost depleted. Heed of all kinds is scarce and high in price and unless vigorous steps are taken the United States will, in the course of a year, find itself unable to supply our sol diery and sailors with food products aside from the normal requirements of our population. We will be unable to assist those in the factories and on the battlefields of Europe who are looking to us for a large part of their necessary food supply. Let our people also heed the fact that many will be withdrawn from all of our food pro ducing activities through the recruit ing of our army and navy. The greatest contribution which Colorado can make to the country at at this time is to put forth every ef fort to the end that the last acre cap able of cultivation may be made to produce some kind of a crop. The time Is short; the situation is critical. This committee has been appointed by the Governor of Colorado and his Advisory War Council and asked to as sume the duty of securing a complete organisation in the state to bring about the cultivation of every available acre. We earnestly urge that the peo ple of every community and county in the state be immediately organized for the purpose of assisting in this crisis. We ask the banks in every locality to Immediately call a mass meeting of the people of their communities and at such meeting to appoint a committee on ways and means; that committee to open headquarters, secure clerical as sistance and appoint sub-committees for the following purposes: First—A committee to investigate the condition as regards the seed sup ply In that locality whether or not there is sufficient seed to plant a full acreage and whether there Is a surplus that can be spared for use in other parts of the state. Second—A committee to investigate the financial condition of the farmers In that locality and discover If finan cial assistance is needed by any worthy individual in the purchase of seed. Third—A committee to organise the women of the locality for the purpose of devising plans for conserving the present food supply in every possible way. and putting an absolute end to waste of all kinds, as well as to assist In Increasing the food production. We ask that as soon as organized, the chairman of the local committee report immediately to the Ways and Means Committee, Room 29, State Capi tol Building, Denver. We urge upon the banks to extend financial assistance to worthy farmers who from a lack of funds are unable to plant lands which they would other wise cultivate. This committee will undertake to assist in this matter when sailed upon. The time is short. In a few weeks the planting season will be over. What Is done must be done now. The im perative need of the moment is local organization, and we urge that the Banks, merchants, business men, com nerclal bodies, agricultural organiza :lons and bureaus, county commission irs and all patriotic citizens unite in perfecting local organizations at ths rery earliest possible moment. Conditions are such that high prices ire certain to prevail for some years to come, and the pecuniary reward to »e derived from an increased acreage will undoubtedly be great; but this is wholly secondary to the consideration :hst in this crisis Colorado owes the sountry the patriotic duty of straining aer every effort and utilizing her ev iry resource for the purpose of con tributing her last possible bushel to :he nation's food supply. Other recommendations are under sonslderatlon and will be submitted Ater. Our food supply is the supreme luestion of the hour, and we desire to mpress upon our people the idea that :are and the elimination of waste in tonsumption is equivalent to an in trease in production. This committee has opened headquar ters In the Capitol Building at Denver ind will undertake to assist in every possible way. Every resource of the itate will be utilised to assist the to tal committees In their worn. The State Agricultural College, the Experimental Station, the State Agri rultural Extension Service and all of :he lwcal bureaus of the Department of \griculture have tendered their serv .ces to assist and may be called upon py every local committee. In counties where agricultural agents ire maintained the county agents are nstrueted to assist in every possible way the work of the local organiza tions. To sum up. we, citizens of Colorado, whose chief concern is to bring home :o our people the imperative necessity n this grave hour of increasing all food products of our state and thereby iverting what in the course of months will be a dire calamity to our people, ■nest earnestly call upon our eitizen ihip throughout the state to bring to the attention of all of our citizens the rendition of our state; address our telves to relieving this condition, and n every public-spirited way assist our farmers In increasing their agricultu ral areas and the production therefrom. We ask of the press and clergy of :hls state, aid in carrying this message to our people. By order of the Governor: J. K. MULLEN. Chairman. C A. KENDRICK. CHAB. A. LORY. J. C. MITCHELL. C. C. HAMLIN.
