FRIDAY, DEC. IL, 1918.
COUNTRY LIFE.

One Of the chief aims Of the agricul-
tural college is to work for the i'm
provement of country life, not alone
by showing the farmers how to grow
better crops and fatter stock, but to
show them also how to make life more
enjoyable on the farm.
To this end a great deal Of stress is
laid or the development of social ac-
tivities of all kinds. The extension
department set a nationwide example
by organizing a bureau of information,
which furnishes material for debate,
for women'S clubs. for school enter
tainments, etc. This has proved one
of the most valuable and most sue
CeSsful departments in the college.
A new department is the little coun-
try theatre. In the administration
building there has been fitted up a
model country theatre. It has a scat
ing capacity of about 200. 1t has an
excellent stage, fully equipped with
drops, scenery. etc. 1t is just such a
theatre as there should be in every
country community.
This country theatre is to be used
next week for the meetings Of the Sec
Ond annual Country Life conference
and also for the gatherings Of the
Boys and Girls Institute. 1t will be
an appropriate dedication.
All persons interested in the back
TO the farm" movement have realized
that n OF the great problems In
stopping the drift to the city from the
farm, is to make the farm life more
attractive. On the wide spreading and
thinly settled North Dakota prairies.
farm life is often lonesome and mon
%otonous.
The agricultural college has hit up
on a very practical scheme to over
come this difficulty. 1t would develop
in every community a little country
theatre" where amateur plays, debates
and other social gatherings could be
held.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
IF YOUR BACK Is ACHING OR
BLADDER 6oTHERs, DRINK
LOTS OF WATER AND EAT LESS
MEAT.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with q
lot Of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean. by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal ac-
tivity. The function of the kidneys is
to filter the blood. In twenty-four
hours they strain from it 500 grains
of acid n waste, SO we can readily
understand the vital Importance Of
keeping the Kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days inc your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with Iithia. and has
been used for generations t clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutraliZe the acids in urine SO 1T NO
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

should take now and then to keep
their Kidneys clean and active Try
this. also keep UP the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became OF you kidney trouble and

LETTING THE CAT OUT.

In a recent editorial The Duluth
Herald says:
The New York Sun is an able
spokesman for business-especially
that type of it called big business.
"Busincss ought to nave its spokcs-
men, including big business; and it
in perfectly legitimate so long as their
organs do not pretend to be spokes-
men for the public interest.
The Sun has been discussing the
slight moderation in business activity
which was coincidcnt with the un-
seasonable late fall and early winter
weather. In doing so it loosens the
string and let's a pretty big cat out Of
the bag. Says The Sun:
1T should be clear by now, even
to the administration, that to
whatever extent pending currency
legislation is RESPONSIBLE FOR
a RESTRICTION OF BANK
CREDITS AND A CONSEQUENT
SHRINKING OF BUSINESS it is
not SO much because of anticipa-
tons Of difficulty in making the
transfer from the existing financial
organization to a new one as Be
CAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF
CURRENCY LEGISLATION TO
TAKE A SHAPE WHICH WINS
THE APPROVAL OF THE
BANKING COMMUNITY AS A
WHOLE. .
The capitals are ours.
What hat paragraph comes to, al
most in SO many words. is this: The
administrations banking and currency
plan did not please the big banking
interests because it takes the control
Of the nations credit out Of their
hands and puts it in government hands
in the public interest.
Therefore. in the hope Of defeating
the administrations plans, bank cred
it's were reduced and a Temporary
business s%hrinkage thereby created.
IF evidence were needed that the
administrations plans ought to be
carried out as speedily as possible,
there it is.
Control of the nations credits is
control of the! very life Of the nation.
That control ought never to be in
private hands, or used for private
profit.
mo more dangerous power could be
imagined. 1t is worse than all the
trusts rolled into one. 1t is worse
than all the old guard political ma
chimes rolled into one and it's power
made absolute.
TT is just the kind of thing the pres
ident's currency plan will prevent"

Guardians of Lanauaae.

From The Chicago Tribune: Moth
ing delights us more than to read a
statement by Brander Mathuz, or
some other faithful guardian of OUT
language, that usage excuses this or
that departure from correct English;
but we wish he would be a Shade
more specific. Whose usage is meant;
The usage of the mob or that of edu-
Gated people?
The alteration by the majority OF
chromes translates them, Of course
into w..rks of arts, and places them or
La level with old masters. The use OF
liquor by the common (very) people
excuses a person from keeping sober
And, SO the fact that a majority 01
people say, between you and IT, leads
alert c~ustodians Of our speech to
declare that usage has given the
phrase a right to exist.

tion Of an English teacher, who AL

challenged because between you anG

AS TO ExPosITloNs,

The United States enjoys no mon
opoly of world fairs. 1t might be
thought so, merely because so little is
heard of international expositions
other than those planned by Ameri-
cans. The Panama-Pacitic exposition
at San Francisco in 1915 promises to
over-show in interest any recent event
of the kind. Already it is attracting
very wide attention in all parts OF
b country. The San Diego exposi-
ton also will command a share of pub.
lie attention.
Both are planned to commemorate
the opening of the Panama canal
Both will attract exhibits from many
lands. In that respect the San Fran
cisco fair viii be a notable one, not
withstanding the fact that several
European countries thus far have de-
clined to be officially represented. T.
One of the governments holdine
back in this respect is that of Great
Britain. Yet England has
a fair at home in which America il
expected to have a large part.
Next years fair at London will BIZ

IT. will commemorate the centenars
anniversary Of the signing OF thu
