Act quickly in time of danger.
In time ' of kidney danger,
Doan's Kidney Pills are most ef
fective. Plenty of ilcConn ells burg
evidence of their worth.
' Mrs. D. Keysor, McConnells
burg, says: "My back ached
constantly and the puns la my
loins were so servere it was al
most impossible for m9 to bend
over. I had but little strength
and my housework became a bur
den. One box of Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at Trout's Drug
Store, cured me."
A Lasting Effect.
Ovar two years later, Mrs. Key
sersaid: ' Doan's Kidney Pills
onpletely cured me of kidney

Will Handle 52,000 Shells a Da;.
Quanity if not capacity ship
ments will start soon from a new
Government shell-1 ading fac
tory in New Jersey, one of four
such Government plants each of
which is larger than any similar
phnt in tbe world.
When turning out 62,000 load
ed shells a day under full opera
tion the plant will use 2,000 tons
of shells and explosives daily,
the products of some 75 factories.
More than 5,000 workmen will
be required. Plans contem
plate the employment of a large
number of women. The mark
ing of shells to designate size,
load, and range will require
250,000 operations each day.
The plant has a total area of
approximately 2,500 acres. More
than 100 buildings, with an ag
gregate floor space of '1,300,000
square feet, will provide storage
for shells and parts and for ma
terial A small city, with heat
ing and lighting plants, water
and sewage systems, hospitals,
fire-fighting plant, and restaurant
was built to house tbe employees.
There Is equipment to protect
the health of those who work
with poisonous gasos, and a
school for instruction in the
loading of artillery ammunition
with high explosives.
Tbe operating t plant consists
of 13 shell loading units, each
independent of the other, with
equipment for loading 13 sizas of
shells, ranging from tbe recent
ly developed 3 7 millimeter to 16
inches. Oa two siz-sof shells
tbe propelling charge also will
be loaded, the sbell and cartridge
case being assembled at the
plant All other shells are as
sembled In France.
In tbe construction of tbe
shell loading units the promblem
was far, greater than one of mere
build if g. Immense fans have
been installed to dispose of tbe
poisonous fumes from tbe high
explosives When a unit is in
operation the air in the loading
room is changed every few
minutes. Specially designed
suits will be worn during work
with the explosives.
Tbe Department of Labor re
ports adjustment of 89 industrial
disputes during a recent week.
This is a record. Eleven strides
were adjusted. Included :n the
strikes settled was that of ma
chinists at tbe Curtiss Aeroplane
Co. plsat, Buffalo, where 300 men
quit and 15,000 were affected indirectly.

Large Acreage la Corn.
Despite thelackof labor and a
rather unlavorable planting sea
son it is' estimated that the corn
acreage in Pennsylvania this sea
son is somewhat lartrer than last
year when G5.2G0 883 bushels
were produced on 1,000,586
acres.
Reports from all counties show
that the farmers made every ef
fort to get out a maximum aver
age of corn, but poor seed and
wet weather proved a hindrance
in some sections. Tbe same con
ditions have made the prospects
for a bumper crop below normal
as the fields of c.rn do not meas
ure up to the condition that tbey
should at this season of the year
and the cold weather has Dot been
conducive of goo I corn growing.
Exparts who have traveled over
tbe State estimate that the con
dition of corn is no about eigh
ty per cent, of an average crop,
but tbey say that with a late fall
the production may bo much
bet'.or thin is now r xpct'.'d.
Thorn is every indication of a
big incease in the acreage of
buckwheat and it is being tried
in many sections whore tbe farm
ers weie unable to get in corn
early in the season.

Well, in our last advertisament, we called
your attention to .Dr. Hess's Remedies for
all kinds of Stock. We sure have sold a lot
of it, and the results have been great. A
lot of people have said they never got so
many eggs; never had pigs to do so well;
cows to improve, so in the flow of milk.
From all this we cannot help feeling that
where these Remedies have been tried they
have done g6od, and no advance in the
price either.
