Importance of Growing Alfalfa

The speaker declared that he had or
ganized 30 experiment stations in 13 states
within the past eight years, and said that
the Uniontown experiment farm had sur
passed all the rest DIR. Spillman told
his audience of the importance of growing
alfalfa, stating that alfalfa could be made
one of the most lucrative products of the
farm of this section of the state; he De
clared that he knew of no section of the
United States that was more adapted
to the raising and growth of alfalfa than
the canebrake section and he advised all
the farmers preseat to cultivate that crop.
DR.. Spillman was followed by Prof. b. b
Ross, state chemist, who spoke on the
subject of commercial fertilizers. DR.. Ross
said he concurred with DR.. Spillman in
what he had to say with respect TO the
importance of growing alfalfa in this
section of the state, and gave numerous
and practical ideas of the value of COM
mercial fertilizers In the cultivation of
crops DR.. Ross recommended the plant
ing of crops that would gradually enrich
the soil, and thereby make it necessary
to use less commercial fertilizer, with
the end in view of restoring the soil to
its original fertility

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take Glass of Salts Before Breakfast
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Rofbers %nu

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is kid
ney trouble, bladder weakness and a
general decline in health.
When your kidneys fell like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four ounc-
es of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and lem
on juice, combined with lithia and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutral
ize the acids in the urine so it no Ion
ger is a source of irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can
make mistake by having a good kid
ney flushing any time.

OBSTACLES SWEPT
FROM BILLS PATH
Probable That Congress Will
Pass Currency Bill Be-
fore Night.
COMPROMISE REACHED
Decide to Retire 2 Per Cent
Bonds 2 Years After In
auguratiOn.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The ad-
ministration's currency bill probably
will be enacted into law before night.
The last obstacles in it's path were
swept away at a long night session Of
the house and senate conferees which
ended at 8 o'clock this morning.
The only action now necessary to
make the act a law is acceptance by
the two houses of the conference re-
port and President Wilson's signature.
Important action was taken by the
conferees in the closing hours Of their
long session, in which they were aided
by the advice of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo. The house con-
ferees triumphed on two big points of
difference when an agreement was
reached to drop the provision provid-
ing for the guarantee of national bank
deposits and to eliminate the clause
permitting the use of reserve notes as
reserves of member banks.
Comptroller on Board.
A compromise was reached on a
matter that has caused bitter fighting
when it was agreed that the comp
troller of the currency shall be mem
Der of the federal reserve board but
that the secretary of agriculture shall
not serve on the board.
The house had fought to have both
officials made ex-officio members of
the board and succeeded in securing
an agreement to have them made
members of the organization commit
tee.
The question of retiring two per
cent bonds caused sharp discussion
and it was finally decided to retire
them two years after the inauguration
of the new. system, $25,000,000 worth
to be retired annually. They shall be
taken over from National banks by
reserve banks.
To Issue Notes.
For one half of the bonds taken re-
serve banks will issue notes similar
to those of National banks. The rumor
is to be retired through substitution of
20-yeart three per cent bonds or treas
ury gold notes renewable each year
for 80 years.
The senate amendment covering
the capitalization of the regional asso-
Citations was adopted. The capital will
be six per cent of capital and surplus
of the National banks of the country
approximately $1O6 900, 900. Only one
half of this amount, however, will be
required to be paid in. 1t was agreed
to place the minimum capital of a
regional association of 100000
which is a compromise. The senates
bank reserve section was accepted
with slight changes and they require
the reserve of Is per cent in Central
reserve city banks, Is per cent in re-
serve city banks and IL per cent in
country banks.

WHEN THE TRELLiS FELL.

Once upon a. time, the Chinese story
runs, a Chinese magistrates subordin-

had an unpleasant encounter with his
wife To his superior he explained
next day that he was working in his
garden when the trellis fell over and
scratched him.
The magistrate however, saw
through the fraud and exclaimed:
"Why deceive me, wretched man, l
know the origin of your sufferings- 1t
is your evil wife who has inflicted
those scars upon you. O, shameless
and incOrrigible race of women. How
many are the sins that must be laid at
your doors. Like vampires you come"
Here the magistrate looked up and
saw his own wife approaching with a
bromstick in her hand. Go, my good
man." he said suddenly. Hurry, My
trellis is about to fall, too!"
