A WARNING TO MANY
Some interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness, makes a chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot be brought back to
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics, Brights disease.
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in 1910. in the state
of New York alone. Therefore. IL

LAND CREDIT SYSTEM
TO SAVE S15O,OOO,O 900 YEARLY
American Farmers Pay s~SoO.OO0y0OO Interest on Six Billion
Annual Loan-EurOpe's Low Rates Based on
Better Security.

WASHINGTON, Jan. -That the
adoption of a weil-organized system of
agricultural credits backed BY govern
mental Support and under official super
vision would save to American farmers
annually a suna estimated at from $780,
10000 to $200O00,0m is the conclusion
OF experts here who have given careful
STEADY to this question. AS a result of the
facts that have been brought out the
conviction is expressed that there is no
more impoTtant subject before the courl-
try at the present time than that of
devising e of supplying the farmers
of the country with credit facilities equal
to those enjoyed by men in other lines of
business and of enabling them to cur
funds for the permanent Improvement
of their lands on terms approaching those
enjoyed by European agriculturists.
Probably few persons realize that
American farmers must borrow a capital
of over $6;0O0,o00,000 every year to carry
on their work of adding some 100000
600 to our national wealth. For this
they pay interest of more than $500
100000. The interest, including COM
missions and renewal charges, averages
no less than 8H per cent. In France and
Germany the farmer pays 80. to AZ
per cent. .

A mishap to an east bound n. p.

that one COW and a pig were missing

No report has been made of any per-

rolling stock was not very serious.
One box car was bumped had enough

BUTTER OUTPUT GROWING.
In Minnesota, Trebled Since 1899,
Doubled During Last Twelve Years.


According to the report of H. j.
Maxfield the output of butter from the
creameries of Minnesota has more
than doubled during the past twelve
years n trebled since 1899. The
current report shows as follows:
In 1899 Minnesota had $50 cream
cries, n in. 1911 she had .S14. In
1899 our creameries manufactured A.
O07,93S pounds of butter, against 9s,-
9S4,7S9 pounds in 1911. Here is the
most interesting and important fact
of all. In 1899 5000, 914.55 was paid
out to u farmers for butter far,
against $22,3 1881, 1885 in 1911, or a gain
OF $15,421 ,460.71, more than three
times as much in 1911 as was paid out
in 1899. This, of course. is not due
entirely to increased production, but
largely to advance in prices.
The 1911 report shows hat Min
nesota cows produced an average of
139 pounds of butter each. The
amount received by each patron aver
aged $246.75. When considered 1t is
that Minnesota has many thousands
of acres of undeveloped land. all of
which are particularly adapted to
dairying, her future as a dairy state
looks exceedingly bright. The FORE
going figures do not take into account
the value of cheese produced in Min
nesota, nor the values of the by-pro-
ducts of the dairy industry,

1t is not to be expected that such low
rates can be reached in this country in
the immediate future. but it is believed
that by the adoption of plans similar to
those which have succeeded in giving
the farmers of France and Germany the
advantages of cheap credit a very great
saving can be effected and that the eff
fcienoy of. the American farm can be
increased at the same time. President
Taft is showing great interest in this
subject and by his direction the diplo-
matte and consular representatives of the
United States are engaged in collecting
information on this subject from the
various countries to which they are ac-
credited. Ex-Governor Myron 7. Her
rick, of Ohio, now Ambassador to
France, who was one of the FIRST men
in the country to urge the importance of
improving agricultural credit facilities,
has made an exhaustive study of the
land credit system of France and recent
ly laid his information and conclusions
on this subject before the banking and
currency committee of the House of
Representatives. Similar reports are
being obtained from all the principal
European countries.
The report of the Department of Agri-
culture for 1912 which has Just been
issued devotes several pages to the farm
credit problem. The departmental in

CIerk Of Court Mccubey CuHs Some
interesting Notes From Marriage
License Records.

According to the figures Leap Year
does play its part in the business Of
issuing marriage licenses. In his re-
port of the number of marriage
licenses issued during the year 1912,
Clerk of Court McCubrey says that
213 licenses were issued last year,
against 1874 licenses in 1911, an in
crease of nineteen.
The aggregate ages of the oldest
couple married was 14O years, the
mar was IS a of age and the
woman 81. The combined ages Of the
youngest couple were 81 years, the
man 10 years of age and the woma
IS years.
The most noted disparagement in
ages was in the case of one couple
where the man was 5S years of age
and the woman 10 years of age.
During the last day or two licenses
have been issued to the following:
