SQUIRRELS WONDERFUL LEAP

1t is said that every species of tree
squirrel seems capable of a sort of
rudimentary fyins, or at least of max
ing itself into parachute so as to
break a fall
One naturalist tells Of an occasion
when his dog treed a red squirrel in
a tall hickory that stood on the side
of steep hill To COservs what the
squirrel might do when closely press
ed the investigator climbed the tree
The little fellow took refuge in the
topmost branches, and then, as the
naturalist approached, boldly leaped
into the air, spread himself upon it,
and, with a quick, tremulous motion
Of his tail and legs, descended quite
slowly and landed upon the ground
thirty feet below, apparently none the
worse for the leap, for he ran with
great speed and escaped up another
tree.
A traveller in Mexico relates . still
more striking instance of the power
Of squirrels, partly to neutralize the
effect of the force OF gravity when
leaping through the air.

caught black squirrel nearly as

Miss McGraw for years had taught

land she selected for her turkey ranch

Here the romance started
During last summer scourge Of
bugs raided the potato fields, and
Strange foresaw that unless he fought
the bugs his crop would be lost. About
this time a drought spoiled the feed

farm. The grass and alfalfa fields
cried up, and the insects accustomed

Statistics as to the men and women
who work below the level OF the city's

morning until they leave at night can
not be known accurately. But GER

USE SALT ON ROADS

As a general rule the roads in and

value where car lines exist and paved

Derby's Kidney Pills Work

Kidney disease Is much more common
than most people imagine. Many sufferers
do not know what's ailing them-untl tho
trouble becomes serious. Some trihing at
lection may run into the dread diabetes,
dropsy or Bright's disease before one realizes
there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
which first appear are far from the seat OF
the trouble, and the sufferer mistakes che
nature Of his ailment. Dull headaches or
nervousness, for instance, he never thinks OF
as signs Of diseased kidneys.
Even the aching back and sides, rheuma-
tism, pains or twitching in groins or limbs,
sore, inAamed muscles, he may consider in
dications of some other trouble. Unnnturally
colored or cloudy urine, too frequent or too
scanty urination, burning sensation, are of
course readily recognized as symptoms Of
such disorders.
Because Of the deceptive and dangerous
character Of these ailments, If you suspect
your kidneys are diseased, lose no time IN
beginning treatment. The best possible
remedy for you is DR.. Derby's Kidney Pills.

horde of several thousand halfgrown
and half-famished turkeys invaded the
potato field of the northwest potato
king. The potato bugs decreased in
number every day as the vOracious
turkeys advanced through the long
straight rows. At night the poultry
rested beneath the vines and at day
break again continued the onslaught
against the plague Of bugs. When Au-
gust came, and with It nice warm
rains, the potato fields freshened up,
and the biggest crop of tubers ever
harvested matured.
The turkeys were loath to leave the
potato fields, and Miss McGraw and
Strange held several councils to plan
methods to get the turkeys back to
their home land. It was finally de-
cided to let turkeys and potatoes re-
main on the same farm and the re-
suit was the wedding.
