1t was not without a few misgivings

and we had been dispatched to ques-

people today, we had been told, were
marrying at an earlier age. Was this

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Baekaohe is a sign you have
been eating too much meat which
forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
ii generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority Meat forms uric acid
which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort OF paralyzed and
loggy When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; renew
ing all the body's urinoUs waste, else
you have backache, sick heada che
tongue is coated, and when the wea-
Their is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full Of
sediment, channels often get sore, wa
ter scalds and you are obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult good, reliable ply
sician at once or get from your pharm-
acist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys vii lthen act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimu-
late sluggish kidneys, also to neutral
ize acids in the urine so it no longer
initiates, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful effer-

of two living as cheap as one. He'll
never join the throng of married

And his idea of freedom seems 10

anything else. Every Saturday night

But all young men are not like
that. It's hard to believe. but there
are actually those who look forward
to a happy and useful life. And a
wife and family frequently figure in
their plans.
The Average Young Man would be
disappointed if he thought he'd never
have a happy family to worry about.
I ought to know. And there are just
as many young men getting married
as there are young women. Statistics

The Diary of a Bonahead.

Shortly after the Spanish American
war. a gentleman with a liquid voice
called at my pleasant yet modest home
in the suburbs and sold me a pianola,
or, in other words. a horseIess piano
The purchase of the horseless piano
which was quite a novelty in those
days, marked new era in our social
status. We jumped from Class D to
Class A as soon as the piano was
moved in. That was before the DAYS
of the automobile and society lines
were not drawn between the six-cyl-
inder and four cylinder classes. The
horseless piano set reigned supreme.
The terms on the piano were 81
down and 81 every time the collector
could catch me by the coat tail. The
collector was 4 young gentleman with
a red necktie and the only time he was
not al my elbow asking for his dollar
was when I was asleep in my bedroom
with the door locked. It seemed as
though I met him every morning on
the front step as I left home for the
ONCE and found him waiting for me
when I returned
While other people were buying buzz
wagons I was still paying for my pia-
nola and We had gradually slumped
back TO Class D. The piano itself was
worn out four years before it was half
paid for. That red necktie haunted
me in my dreams and in the mean
time the collector had grown older
and raised a family so that he col
lected more strenuously than ever.
Yesterday he called for the last time
and received his final dollar. He
wanted to sell me new player piano

Colonel eeehe Says:

You can lead a horse to water, but
you cannot make him drink; surround
a fool with wisdom, but you cannot
make him think. You show an in
crate kindness and get injured for
your pains. You can dress a dude in
fashion, but you can't give him brains.
You can bring the rich to justice, but
it takes a, lot of time. While the poor
man goes to prison, the rich one pays
a fine. If you study human nature,
you'll find freaks of every strain. Some
you see excel in stature; others great
with nerve and brain. You'll find lots
Of faults to criticise-perhaps some
traits to praise; but it's just as Ma
ture made us guys. That explains our
funny ways. Don't get too close to
the buzz saw or tickle q mule that's
tame. Don't give advice to those in
love or bet on another mans game.

A slow New England drawl,
A large square room with two or three
Worked notices on the wall;
A hint of wicked city life

Who plays an honest farmers wife
With something of a past.
A man from town whose shirt is clean
And has at least two suits,
To brighten up the rural scene

A soft nosed mare named Bess;
A dog or two and you're assured

And mix them as you may,

that Professor Wilson had mixed the
papers accidentally because Of the sim

quite satisfied. naturally, but sam
was decidedly peevish, also naturally.
II robbed him of the Phi Beta Kappa
honors. so he kicked" vigorously. But
Professor Wilson was positive, ana

H. H. ROGERS WINS
COLONELCY IN GUARD
Nominated by Major General
John F. Organ to Succeed
N. B. ThurStOn.

Lieutenant Colonel Henry II. Rog-
ers, Of the LIST Regiment of Field Artil-
lery. y. G. y. Y. and son of the late
II. II. Rogers. Of the Standard oil Com
pany has been nominated by Major
General John +. O'Ryan, commanding
the National Guard for colonel of the
regiment. vice Colonel y. 3. Thurston,
chief ordnance officer of the National
Guard. who was detailed 10 temporary
command some months ago.
Colonel Rogers's rapid progress in
the National Guard has not been with
out friction. He was one Of the group
of officers who inspired the charges
against Colonel George Il. Dyer. Of the
10Th Regiment and resigned his cap
taincy following the exoneration of the
head Of the regiment.
Later when he stood for election as
lieutenant colonel OF the 69th Regi-
ment ne was the target Of much criu-
cism. Rogers was at that time first
lieutenant in the 22d Regiment and
adjutant on the staff Of General George
Moore Smith. commanding the First
Brigade. ......-.....--,-
one basis Of the attacks made
against Rogers was that he was try
ing for "a command in regiment Of
which he was not member, but IT
was also alleged that he was using
STANDARD oil methods" TO further his
\ more specific charge was that
Rogers himself had let it be under
stood that if he was elected he would
give $1,000 TO the Board Of officers
Fund which is used TO provide enter
tainmcnts. Ney uniforms for the regi-
ment at a cost Of $4,000 were also
named as being offered by the son OF
the Standard oil man.
on December 26 Rogers received five
votes out Of possible twenty-one. No
one received a majority. and there was
no election. TWO months later a second
election was held. At this meeting
Rogers received twelve votes TO thir-
teen for Lieutenant Daniel Comfy. one
vote was scattering, and again there
was no election. This put the choice Of
lieutenant colonel in the hands of Gov
ernor Hughes, and he promptly named
Comfy.
The new colonel first joined the guard
as a second lieutenant in Company A,
Of the 18th Regiment, March ), lVa,
and was promoted first lieutenant Of
Company & the following November.
He was made captain of Company in
MAY. 1907 and was transferred 10
Company G. in July Of that year.
Colonel Rogers resigned from the regi-
ment in February 1908. and was ap-
pointed first lieutenant In the corps
of engineers March II, 1908.
He was next detailed as an aid on
the staff of Brigadier General George
Moore Smith, commanding the lst
Brigade. March 10. 1905, and on Janu-
ary /, 1911. he was appointed an aid to
Governor Dix. His next appointment
was as a captain in the I'd Battalion OF
Field Artillery October ., 1911. and he
was later promoted major and lieu
tenant colonel.
