Valuable Advice for Argus Reader

valuable Advice for Argus Readers.
Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery of backache,
pains about the hips. blue, nervous
spells, dizziness and urinary disorders,
hopeless of relief Because she doesn't
know what is the matter.
80 II is not true that every pain in the
= back or hips is trouble peculiar to
the sex" Often when the kidneys get
congested and infamed, such aches
and pains follow.
You can tell it is kidney trouble IL
the secretions are dark colored, con
tain sediment; the passages are too
frequent or scanty. Then help tho
weakened kidneys. Don't expect them
I to get well alone.

School Report.-Decrease in the
number Of children Of school age is
shown in the annual census, which
has just been finished by Secretary j.
u. McColiister of the board of educa-
tion. There are 40 less than for last

AN appropriation of S33ZSS5, an in
crease OF $4,000 over the budget of

tors from the board Of supervisors.
Z FThis increase is occasioned by the
fsraise in teachers salaries to become

rental and a larger apportionment to
retire bonds and decrease interest
payments. mo board has ever had
nerve enough to ask for a sufficiently
large apportionment to run it's affairs
on strictly business basis, and be
lieve that it is time for US TO do it
now" said w. r. Weir. The rest OF

budget was passed unanimously. Grade
~ teachers were given further increase
to become effective Feb. l. The raise
is So per month in case the teacher has
already reached the maximum. This
will affect about two-thirds Of Tie
teachers. It makes a possible increase
of SIS per month in the case of some
teachers, as all will be given IS more

Tenement. Worried Rome.

The tenement house is not modern
institution by any means. So great was
the number Of such houses in ancient
Rome. and so badly were they con
structed, that in A. d. SO, the Emperor
Ohio, who was marching against vitel-
lus, found his way barred for 20 miles
by the ruins of tenement houses that
had been undermined by inundation.
The collapse Of tenement houses in
those days was SO common that little
attention was paid to 1t. The tenants
have been described by writer of the
times as constantly fearing to be
burned or buried alive. Companies eX-
listed for the purpose of propping and
sustaining houses.
In comparison with the modern tene-
ments, those Of Rome were excessively
high. Martial alludes to poor neigh
Dor who was obliged to mount 200
steps to reach his garnet.
That garnet must have been perched
100 feet above the level of the street.
Emperor Augustus, to make less fire.
quent the occurrence of disasters, linn
tied the height of new houses that
opened upon streets to about So feet.

LEVY TAXES ON @INSIGNIAw
English Government Makes CHARGE

In your books, says an English paper.
Very unfortunate was the expert
ence of London doctor who received
a ring from a grateful patient. One
day a London county council officer
called to inquire If the doctor had Ia,
ken out license for his motor car
and noticed that the doctor was wear
ing the ring in question with pebble,
on which there was design-a garter
encircling hand.
That's a crest" said the officer,
and few days later the doctor was
summoned for using armorial bearings
without q license.
Since then many people have been
summoned for wearing rings on which
designs we're cut and for using note
paper bearing arms.
What are "armorial bearings?"
They are defined as follows by the
government authorities:
The term ''armorial bearings" means
and includes any armorial bearings,
crest or ensign. by whatever name the
same shall be called, and whether
such armorial bearings, crest or ensign
shall be registered in the College of
Arms or not.
The cost for armorial bearings on
vehicles is $40 year, but the cost for
use on anything apart from vehicles
is S.
One may possess goods marked
with armorial bearings, but may not
use them. One point has not yet been
settled-whether a person who buys
old china, silver, furniture and so on,
having armorial bearings upon them,
is liable to pay the license.
Everything depends upon whether
the person owning the goods uses
them or merely keeps them as curios.

Soldiers Debt-Proof.

Although Tommy Atkins is an hon.
orable person, and is not in the habit
of repudiating his just debts to civili-
ans, still he is not compelled to dis
charge them If they amount to less
than certain sum. This is because
by British military law he cannot be
sued for any debt or damages under
$3.50 in value. Accordingly, if Private
Atkins can persuade confiding trades
man or stock broker, or perhaps an &C.
commodating financier, to give him
credit up to $145 there is no legal ma
chinery that will recover the money. 1t
cannot be stopped from his pay or de-
Quoted from his pension.
In order to protect civilians from
possible loss by giving tick" to SOL
diers, a system is in force Of 'crying
down credit" Whenever a regiment
arrives in fresh station the COM
handing officer has to issue a public
proclamation to the effect that any
body who permits the troops to run up
bills will do so at his own risk.

Sam Graybill, state live stock san

cause he was not given free trans
portation to the state fair. This
morning he told Ia. Lott, trans
portation superintendent of the ex-
position, that he had no respect for
the fair. stated that he would
not inspect the hogs at the show un-

This occasioned much uneasiness
on the part of the exhibitors in the
swine department as state law die
tates that hogs cannot be moved
from one town to another without a
permit, H. L. Cook, secretary of
the fair, suggested that Mr.. Gray
bill has an expense account and
could charge the price of ticket to
this account.
At late hour in the morning the
state official arrived on the grounds.
According to Superintendent Lott
he agreed to allow all swine going to
the Hutchinson fair to leave the
grounds without cost to the owners,
but he insisted upon making others

Health-oivino Horse.

There is about the horse magnet
ism, a strong physical presence, that
is impaired to one coming intimately
in contact with him, as in riding, de-
clares a writer in Suburban Life. AS
is well known, the horse is immune to
many diseases to which mankind is
susceptible. believe that the horse,
being immune to such diseases as
diphtheria, intestinal disorders such as
typhoid, cholera and dysentery, as
we'll as scarlet fever, smallpox and
measles, and being full to the bubbling
over point Of vital force, animal spirit
or magnetism, imports more or less
of this to his rider or companion, and
more particularly to little ones who
are not in robust health. Repeatedly
delicate children have been known to
obtain rugged health and to develop
rapidly when given a pony.

WhaIaa N steamer,n Path.

Sixty whales playing in the path Of
the steamer Prinz Sigismund forced
the helmsman to veer the vessel
quickly and sharply the other after
noon on Sea Girt, N. J., in order to
avoid collision.
The Prinz Sigismund was coming up
the coast to New York from South
American ports. when the officer Of
the watch saw directly ahead a seeth-
ing mass Of black. He threw his wheel
hard to port and at the same time sig
nailed the engineer to reverse the en-
gines.
The ship answered the helm just in
time to avoid running down the
whales, which scampered of seaward.
Some of the passengers counted so,
but the watch officer says he saw
more than that number.
