Don't Neglect Them I
Nature designed the kidneys to do a
marvelous job. Their task is to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living—lift
itself—is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneyp must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dis-
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—feel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty or burning passages
are sometimes further evidence of kid-
ney or bladder disturbance.
The recognized and proper treatment
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys
get rid of excess poisonous body waste.

Soil Conservation
Good Goal For 1943
The most important new year's
resolution a farmer can make is to
pledge himself to stop the rich soil of
his farm from washing and blowing
away. Such a resolution, says Paul
G. Haines of the A. and M. College
Extension Service staff, can be ful-
filled by adopting conservation prac-
tices which will miake the land more
productive. He is the specialist in soil
and water conservation. '
Overgrazing, plowing up-and-down
hill, andi burning of grass and stalks
are open invitations to water and
wind erosion^ Haines points out. Gul-
lies and ditches tend to grow deeper
on pastures which are grazed too
closely, resulting in the washing of
much good soil before a new growth
of grass appears. Hillside fields,
eroded beyond profitable cropping
yet too steep to terrace, could be
made productive by sodding to Ber-
muda or some other adapted grass
during January and February. Plant-
ing trees might perform an equal
service.
Practice shows that there is less
I loss of soil and crop yields are in-1
created when rows are run f^the j
contour. Contouring gives the soil a |
chance to soak up w%ter which will
be needed later. "The water walks
off the land instead of running when
rows run up and down a slope,"
Haines explains. "The farmer should
do all those things necessary to slow
the speed of free water. Fast run-
ning water causes the erosion. Make
1 it walk slowly off the land."
Stalk burning robs the soil of
| needed humus, and burns drainage-
j ways, turnrows and along fences.
1 Most harmful insects are not killed
I
by such fires. They lay their eggs too
deeply to be reached by fire. Burning
pastures may bring some earlier ten-
der grazing in the spring, but expos-
ed to the rays of the sun, as it will
be, it soon disappears and the total
yield of grass will be greatly reduc-
ed. The after effect is more noxious
weeds and increased erosion. Burn-
ing for five successive years will
lessen the tonnage of grass by more
than 50 per cent, the specialist says.

'Tales Of Manhattan'
Is Star-Studded!
Three years ago those two inde-
fatigable gentlemen, Boris Morros
and S. P. Eagle, conceived an idea
for a screenplay that would cut the
very heart out of old New York and
lay it before America's moviegoers
to behold in all of its reckless adven-
ture, hilarious humor, and palpitat-
ing romance—indeed, in all of the
fabulous facets of its dramatic ex-
istence.
The result, "Tales of Manhattan"
it's called, debuts locally at the Tex-
as theatre Saturday midnight, Sun-
day and Monday . . ., just as its
producers originally conceived it. The
film has been hailed by no less an
authority than Walter Winchell as
"one of the greatest films I've ever
seen!" And it has been acclaimed
with equal enthusiasm wherever is
has played. Imagine all of these stars
in one picture: Charles Boyer, Rita
Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, Henry
Fonda, Charles Laughton, Edward G.
Robinson, Paul Robeson, Ethel Wat-
ers and "Rochester."
There's Thomas Mitchell, too, and
Eugene Pallette, Cesar Romero, Gail
Patrick, the celebrated Hall Johnson
Choir, Roland Young, Elsa Lanches-
ter, George Sanders, James Gleason
and many, many more.
To match the brilliance of these
stars, the finest Writers in Holly-
wood fashioned the story. It takes
you from a tenement to a penthouse.
. . from Park Avenue to Hell's Kitch-
en. A story blending drama, comedy,
music, romance and stirring action in
a big-time show, it is so conceived
that every sequence of the entire
film rings true.
American war factories use more
than a ton of diamonds for cutting
edges in a year.
