OF sidney Porter Though it was taken
~ueu ne was very young, it does not fail
TO Ioreshadow the peculiar qualities which
were TO distinguish the man and writer
Sucn portraits, when looked at in the
rlght way never do fail. There is the
proad brow, with the wisp of hair curling
down over it-significant of the busy
imagination already, if We knew If sniI,
nlng out wonderful yarns. And those
Daoy eyes with their peering look full of
that curiosity about life which so marked
the mature writer. Those infantile ears,
inclined little outwards as though to
capture every bit OF telling speech, every
mold! And those chubby hands, clasped
in the folds of the little white Dress seem
arranging themselves though to reach
out and hit the keys of typewriter. And
that mouth, partly open, in the very act
of prophetically shaping the first part of
the pseudonym under which the man was
to become famous-the letter "O''; in

PALESTINE POSSIBILITIES.

Recent Investigations of Palestine
by the Jewish agricultural experiment
station at Haifa show so many SINH
larities between its climate and soil
and that of the state OF California
that 1T is believed most of the types
of vegetation can be successfully
transplanted to the Pacific coast
There are 5000 listed species which
grow wild in Palestine and almost the
same number have been classified by
botanists in California. Many of the
Pa1estinian fruits are already grow
ing in California, such as the olive,
promegranate, fig, date, orange and
apricot. The Jaffa orange is said to
be one of the largest grown, and it is
now being introduced in California to
rival her famous navel oranges. Both
countries have a warm and dry sea-
son that are similar, the same diver
sity of soil and vegetation within a
small area, mountains that run up to
10000 feet altitude and great desert
and arid regions. Even the shores of
the Dead sea are similar to the edges
of the famous Death valley of Cali

Pennsy Employees Respond

A student OF railway economies says
the greatest problem the railroad has
to solve in its effort to conserve hu-
man life is to find ways TO protect
those who will not protect themselves.
one serious feature of this problem
was the carelessnesS Of railroad en-
ployes, but conditions are vastly bet
ter than they were few years ago,
In order to make their employees
more careful, the larger companies
have inaugurated a system Of sur
prise tests" These are conducted
among all classes Of employees.
Tests Are Unexpected.
Such tests are given at unexpected
times and under unusual conditions,
so that they reveal to just what ex-
tent rules are broken and risks TAX

A record Of tests made last year by
the Pennsylvania lines is an excellent
indication Of the hearty support that
employees are giving this great safety

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the

back or sick headache. dizziness, your
stomach sours. tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic, twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment: the channels
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts

spoonful In a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous

and lemon juice, combined with iithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys

a delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
