Calk For 2,090,00 A Great I Washington, April 12.?To further its campaign for food conversation during the war the agricultural department today ordered distribution throughout the country of the resolutions adopted at the St. Louis conference of agricultural experts, urging enlistment of an army of 2,000,000 boys to aid in increasing production and a federal appropriation of $26,000,000 to meet the extraordinary needs of agriculture. Secretary Houston, who attended the St. Louis meeting, attaches great importance to the resulting campaign among ?cutors or agricultural papers, professors of agriculture and others for immediate mobilization of food production resources. Representativesof State agricultural colleges or State commissions from thirty-two States took part in the conference and pledged themselves to aid the federal government in every way possible. A committee of fifteen was appointed to coordinate the campaign. Widest Publicity. . Widest publicity will be given the resolutions adopted at the conference.

Food Making-Army gency?the greatest perhaps in its history." "Upon the fanner," they continue, "rests in large measure the fln&l responsibility of winning the war in which we are now involved. The world's food reserve is very low. Therefore the man who tills the soil and supports the soldier in the field and the family at home, is rendering as noble and patriotic a service as is the man who bears the brunt of bat tie." Supervising Bodies. It is urged that there be created under the Council of National Defense, a relatively small central agricultural body,to remain in Washington and supervise agricultural matters; a large national advisory board; a small central body in each State; and county, urban and other local bodies. One of the principal limiting elements of food production, it is declared, is the labor supply on the farm. The plan for public defense should include as definite a provision for enlistment for food supply as for service at the frontBoys Labor Army.

The plan for military enlistment should be broadened to include in the national service those who by reason of their age or physical conditions are permanently or temporarily incapacitated for active military duty but who are able to render the government equally indispensable service in the production of food, sapplies and munitions. Should Include Throe ClaiMi. three classes of men?men beyond military age, men of military age, but not accepted for. active military duty and boys under age of enlistment." The resolutions declare the Secretary of Agriculture Bhould be given authority to establish market grades anu tiaooco ui mini pruaucis ana w license warehouses, produce exchanges, shipping associations and others engaged in marketing and distributing farm and food products. "When directed by the President," it is added, "the Secretary should have power, after advising with the Council of National Defense as to the necessity of such a step, to take over and operate such of these businesses as may be warranted in a manner similar to receivership. "The fixing of maximum or minimum prices need not be undertaken at this time." Added A Number Of | Years To Her Life Says She Spent Hundreds of Dollars Fruitlessly THE FUTURE SEEMED DARK Says She Believes She Had One Foot In the Grave at One Time. People, both old and young, who suffer with stomach trouble, would do well to read the following highly in bercaiing statement given by Mrs. .Mary Gilliam, of 53 Riverside, Anderson, on March 3d. Mrs. Gilliam is of an advanced age. 'I suffered from an awful case of indigestion," said Mrs. Gilliam, "and I was so weak I could hardly walk and really I should have been in bed. My feet and legs burned all the time, ray whole system was weakened and run down and I was very pale. My appetitte had left and I never became hungry. My health had been bad for several years. "Hundreds of dollars worth of medicine had been bought for me but none gave me much relief, and I steadily became worse and lost weight until I was skin and bones almost and seemed to be slowly starving to death. "Soon after I started taking Tanlac my appetite returned and my stomach was strengthened and the indigestion left me. Now 1 am eating heartily and my food is digested and nourishes me. T gained twenty-five or thirty pounds after I started taking Tanlac. The home folks laugh at me now because I eat so much. I was just about big enough to make a shadow when I started Tanlac, but now I am at my normal weight. "Tanlac is the finest restorer and tonic I ever used. It soon got me strong enough to do my housework, despite my years, and it is the only medicine I ever took that gave me permanent relief, and I guess it can be truly said that I had one foot in the grave when I began taking it. Tanlac certainly is our stand-by now, and both my husband and myself think the world of it, for I expect it gave me a number of years more of life."

CehaUa ^""oile SPARROW HAWK WnwwmIM) I Length, about ten inches. Thta li one of -the best known and handsom eat. as well as the smallest, of Nortli Americas hawks. Range: Breeds throughout th? United States. Canada, and northern Mexico; winters In the United Statei and south to Guatemala. muni sua economic status: The sparrow hawk, which is a true falcon, lives in the more open country and builds ita nest in hollow trees. It la abundant in many parts of the West, where telegraph poles afford it convenient perching and feeding places. Tts food consists of insects, small mammals, birds, spiders, and reptiles. Grasshoppers, crickets, and terrestrial beetles and caterpillars make up considerably more than half its subsistence, while field mice, bouse mice, and shrews cover fully 25 per cent of its annual supply. The balance of the food Includes birds, reptiles, and spiders. Contrary to the usual habits of the species, some individuals during the breeding season capture nestling birds for food for their young and create considerable havoc among tbe songsters of the neighborhood. In agricultural districts when new ground is broken by the plow, they sometimes become very tame, even alighting for an Instant under tbe horses in their endeavor to seise a worm or insect. Out of 410 stomachs examined, 314 were found to contain Insects; 129, small mammals; and 70, small birds. This little falcon renders good service in destroying noxious Insects and rodents and should ha aa?mfa??* ?' protected. I MOURNING DOVE (IimMotwciiih) Length, twelve inchea. The darfc pot on the side of the neck dlatlagulahea thla bird from all other native dovea and pigeona except the whitewinged dove. The latter haa the upper third of wing white. Range: Breed* throughout the United State* and in Mexico, Guatemala, and aouthern Canada; winter* from the central United State* to Panama. Hablta and economic atatua: The food of the mourning dove la practically all vegetable matter (over 91 per cent), principally aeeda of plant*, including grain. Wheat, oata, rye. v-?i u, vans/, >uu DUHwnrai wen found in ISO out of 237 stomachs, and constituted 32 per cent of the food. Three-fourths of this was waste grain picked up after harvest. The principal and almost constant diet is weed seeds, which are eaten throughout the year and constitute 64 per cent of the entire food. In one stomach were found 7,600 seeds of yellow wood sorrel, In another 6,400 seeds of barn grass or foxtail, and in a third 2,600 seeds of slender paspalum, 4,820 of orange hawk-weed, 960 of hoary vervain, 120 of Carolina cranesblll, 60 of yellow wood sorrel. 620 of panic grass, and 40 of various other weeds. None of these is useful, and most of them are troublesome weeds. The dove does not eat Insects or other animal food. It should be protected in every possible way. DIZZY J5PELLS Relieved After Taking Two Bottlea Of Cardni, Says Tennessee Lady. Whltwell, Tenn.?Mrs. O. P. Cartwright, of this place, writee: "About four years ago the dlxzy spells got so j bad that when I would start to walk ' I would just pretty near fall. I wasn't past doing my work, but was very much run-down. I told my husband I thought Cardul would help me, as a lady who lived next door to me had taken a great deal, and told me to try it. This was when we were living In Kentucky. My husband got me a bottle and I took it according to directions. It helped me so much that he went back and got me another bottu. I got a whgle lot better and Just quit taking It I got over the dizzy spells...! took no other medicine at that time nor since for this trouble. No, I've never regretted taking Cardul. I felt Just fine when I finished the second bottle." Purely vegetable, mild and gentle In Its action, Cardul, the woman's tonic, may be the very medicine you need. If you suffer from symptoms of female troubles, give Cardul a trial. All druggists. NO-ltf BHSBBSmHBB ! YELLOW -BILLED CUCKOO (Coccjtom imhoukn) Length, about twelve Inches. The i yellow lower part of the bill dlstln gulabes tbie bird from lta near ralei tire, the black-billed ouokoo. ! Range: Breeds generally In the > United States and southern Canada; ' winters In South America. 1 Habits and economic status: This I bird lives on the edges of woodland. ' in groves, orchards, parks, and even in shaded village streets. It Is some: times known as rain crow, because Its 1 very characteristic notes are supposed ' to foretell rain. The cuokoo has sly, furtive ways as it moves among the bushes or flits from tree to tree, and is much more often heard than seen. Unlike its European relative, it does not lay its eggs fis other birds' nests, but builds a nest of its own. This is, . however, a rather orude and shabby ' affair?hardly more than a platform of twigs sufllolent to hold the greeni?h eggs. The ouckoo Is extremely , useful because of its insectivorous habI its, especially as it shows a marked j preference for the hairy caterpillars, j which few birds eat. One stomach that was examined contained 250 American tent caterpillars; another, 217 fall webworms. In places where tent caterpillars are abundant they seem to constitute a large portion of the food of this and the black-billed i ouokoo. | MYRTLE WARBLER (Deadrotca coroaata) /k Length, five and one-half Inches. The almllarly colored Audubon's war bier has a yellow throat Instead of a white one. Range: Breeds throughout most of the forested area of Canada and south to Minnesota, Michigan, New York, and Massachusetts; winters In the southern two-thirds of the United States and south to Panama. Habits and economic status: This member of our beautiful wood warbler family, a family peculiar to America, has the character!stlo voice, coloration, and habits of Its kind. Trim of form and ararafnl nt mnilnn ?!<?? ' flecking food it combines the methods of the wrens, creepers, and flycatcher*. It breeds only In the northern parts of the eastern United States, but In migration tt occurs in every patch of woodland and is so numerous that it Is familiar to every observer. Its place is taken In the West by Audubon's warbler. More than threefourths of the food of the myrtle warbler consists of Insects, practically all of them harmful. It Is made up of small beetles, including some weevils, with many ants and wasps. This bird Is so small and nimble that it successfully attacks lnseots too minute to be prey for larger birds. Scales and ' plant lice form a very considerable part of its diet. Flies are the largest item of food; in fact, only a few flycatchers and swallows eat as many flies as this bird. The vegetable food (22 per cent) is made up of fruit and the seeds of poison oak or ivy, also t the seeds of pine and of the bayberry. I !
