needs of the government but to the
needs Of business expressed in a short

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
SAYS BACKACHE is SIGN YOU
HAVE BEEN EATING TOO
MUCH MEAT.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache. sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours. tongue 10 coated.
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine In
cloudy, full Of sediment. channels Of
ten get sore water scalds and you are
obliTsa to seek relief two or three
Zines during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts Is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine SO it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is delightful, effer-

HEARING OF POTATO EMBARGO.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Secretary
Houston conducted hearing at the Of
flee of the Department of Agriculture
today on the subject of the proposed
embargo on all foreign potatoes COM
mencing January next. Such an EN-
barge is in effect at present against
the British Isles, Germany, Austria
Hungary, Newfoundland and the is
lands of Pierre and Miquelon. It is
now proposed to extend the embargo
to all other foreign countries, the pro-
posal being based on the belief that
a general quarantine is necessary in
order to prevent the introduction into
the United States of the powdery scab
and other diseases which would seri-
ously affect the potato production of
the United States.
A wide variety Of opinions on the
quarantine we're expressed by the rep
resentative American potato growers,
potato importers and bureau inspec-
tors who attended the hearing. The
majority of the importers we're Of the
opinion that ban on all foreign pota-
toes was unnecessary and that the
situation could be met satisfactorily
by introducing a system of inspection

fered that the danger would be great

TRYING TO SAVE
CONDEMNED MAN.


Nashville Tenn. Dec. 18.--A siren
uous effort is being made to obtain a
communication OF sentence IN the case
of William F. Cook, who Is under SEN
tence to be electrocuted In the State
Penitentiary here next Tuesday. Cook
was convicted of the murder of his
wife and his fifteen-year-old niece,
Lucy Stanford. The cline was COM
mitted on August 25 LAST at the home
of the Cooks in the town of Smyrna,
twenty miles from this city. The evil
dence indicated that the women had
been beaten to death with a hickory
bludgeon. Cook himself announced
the discovery Of the crime, declaring
that he had found the bodies of his
wife and niece, who had slept in an
adjoining room, when he awake the
morning after the murders. The ap-
peals made in his behalf for cl,,mency
are based chiefly on the fact that he
was convicted on circumstantiaI evil
dence. Cook was for many years
employed in st. Louis as a street car
motorman. Four of his brotht rs who
reside In st. Louis are leading the
movement to have his sentence com
muted to life imprisonment.

MAPLE GROWING
ON CUTOFF AREAS

Though at one time in the early his
tory of the country an average of g.
600 maple trees were destroyed m
clearing the ordinary New York Or
PennsylvAlia farm, maple is today,
according to the department of agri-
culture. one of the most widely used
and valuable native hardwoods.
A bulleti1 on the uses Of maple, lust
issued by the department, states that
the wood finds place in an enormous
number of articles in daily use, from
rolling pins to piano and organs. II
is one Of the best woods for flooring.
and is always a favorite material for
the floors of roller skating Kinks and
bowling alleys. It leads all other
woods as a material for shoe lasts, the
demand for which in Massachusetts
alone exceeds Is million board feet an
nually.
Sugar maple stands rear the top of
the list of furniture woods in this
country. The so-ealled "birds-eye'
effect. the department explains. is
probably due to buds which for some
reason cannot force their way through
the bark, but which remain Just be-
meath it year after wear. The young
wood is disturbed each succeeding sea
son by the presence of the bud and
grows around it in fantastic forms
which are exposed when the saw cuts
through the abnormal -vowth.
Maple, the department goes on to
saw. is one of the chief woods used for
agricultural implements and farm ma
ehinery, being so employed because Of
its strength and hardness. All kinds
of wooden ware are made of maple,
which holds important rank also in the
manufacture of shuttles. spools and
bobhins. 1t completes with black gum
for first place in the manufacture of
rollers of many kinds. from those en-
ployed in house moving 70 the less
massive ones used on lawn-mowers
Athletic goods, school supplies, brush
backs, pulleys, tyne cases and crutches
are a few of the other articles for
which maple is in demand.
Seven species of maple grow in the
United States, Of which sugar maple
sometimes called hard maple, is the
most important. The total cut of
maple in the United States annually
amounts to aobut 1,150,000. 900 feet.
Nearly one-half is produced by Miehi-
gan, with Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
New York and West Virginia follow.
inc in the order named. Sugar maple,
savs the department, is in little danger
of disappearing from the American
forests, for it IS a strong. vigorous, ag
gressive tree, and though not a fast
grower is able to hold its own. IN
Michigan it is not unusual for maple
to take possession Of land from which
pine or hardwoods have been cut
clean, and from New England west
ward through the Lake states and
southwark to the Ohio and Potomac
rivers few species are oftener seen in
woodlots.

en- who f%requented the club played
golf, talked golf, ate golf and slept
it. 1t was the home of the state
champion and the game was the one
important topic of conversation.
For a day or two we were lost in
the atmosphere of golf which befog-
ged the place. Then we began to at
tract a little attention by indicating
In a delicate and polite way that the
whole thing bored us to extinction.
When we respectfully declined to en-
gage in the game or borrow any of
the implements connected with the
sport there vas great surprise. Our
assertion hat we did not play the
game and did not wish to was receiv-

of our advent the state champion had
been the colossal figure Of the club.
At the end of three days we had
