PerVersity.

The lean man longs to put OH
weight, and eats fat building foods,
and after all so mean is fate he
can't acquire the goods. Eggs, ham
and milk and things like those he
swallows day by day and still he
lean and leaHer grows until he
blows away. The fat man hoping
to get thin and willowy and pink, to
sacrifice his double chin and make
his waist line shrink eats things
which have no heat or force, and
drinks denatured whey; he browses
like a COW or horse OH slaw and bran
and hay. Instead of growing slim
and sweet his mighty girth expands
until-he-cannot see his feet or reach
them with his hands. Iu vain the
living skeleton may gorge himself
with grub; he'll still remain, when
he is done, the same old fieshless
dub. Insvain the man who breaks
thesscale would find of fat surcease;
his foolish torturings will fail to
rid CHIN of his grease. So let us
then.be,. all serene, from idle long.
ings free, and sing and dance, the
fat and lean, in joyous ectasy and
let no fodder be denied when sounds
the dinner bells; we'll take the gifts
the gods provide and all is passing

Farm Notes.

Those farmers who soWed their
clover in the dark of the moon in
February, as well as those who
sowed it in their wheat fields last
month, are wearing smiles. Wealth
er conditions have been just right
to work the seed into the ground.
1t should be remembered that it is
essential that clover seed be cover
ed to insure success. The surest
way is to stir the ground and har-
row in, or else plant with a special
drill made for the purpose. But
when we depend on the weather to
cover the seed, we should at least
give the weather time. That is why
February has come to be recogniz-
ed as the month to SOW clover. The
danger Cd late sowing is that the
seed will be sprouted before they
Gamble covered.

Marchsis the month to test seed
corn. Have you tested yours? Ret.
ter be sure it will grow. An easy
way to find out is to plant 100
grains from 100 different ears, pick
ed from various parts of the seed
corn pile. If they all grow no fur
ther test is needed. If less than 80
per cent grow vigorously, it will
pay well to make an .ear test so as
to be able to throw out all the bad
ears. 1t is costly practice to plant
poor seed corn on high priced land.

ThiTty-Seven Miners Killed in
Colorado Coniery

. . d < + +.
Newcastle, Colo, Dec. IS Twenty
eight bodies have been recovered
from the Vulcan mine of the Rocky
Mountain Fuel company, which was
wrecked by an explosion Of black
damp.
The mangled bodies Of nine other
men remained in the mine, but their
early recovery is expected. @
Sixteen women are widowed and
thirty-four children left fatherless by
the disaster.
Virtually every one Of the victims
was born in Colorado. All were
Americans and many of the unmar.
ried were sons of wealthy ranchers
and had lived in the vicinity of the
mine all their lives. They went to
work recently after the union miners
were called on strike. g.. ....s,
The mine is so filled with gas that
the work Of bringing out the bodies
is hazardous in the extreme. One of
the rescuers was overcome while at
work, but was rescued alive by. fellow

# II BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS.
Flush the Kidneys at Once When
Backachy or Bladder Bothers
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who east meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter
or strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you
get sick. Nearly all rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness constipation. dizziness, sleep
lessness, bladder disorders come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts,
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of pas
sage or attended by sensation of
scalding, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any reliable phar-
macy and take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
for a 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 generations
to flush clogged kidneys and slim
ulate them to activity, also to nea-
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoid
ing serious kidney, complications

Irregularities Charged Have Caused

Washington, Dec. discharges Of
Irregularities in dealings between
John Burke, commissary manager for
the Panama canal work, and contract
ors who have been furnishing supplies
are being investigated by the govern
ment. ....r
So far as the Investigation has gone
no loss to the government has been
discovered and the amount of money

Burke is somewhere in the United
States on sixty days leave of alb
sence from his post on the isthmus
and is still on the government payroll
It is admitted officially, however,
that for the last six months the in
quiry has been in progress, based
upon charges preferred by Charles B.
Walker, former subordinate of
Burke's in the commissary depart
ment, alleging that his superior Off
Ger was demanding and receiving
large commissions from persons with
whom he had placed large contracts
for food and other supplies for the
canal workers. X. =.
Also it was alleged that Burke had
awarded contracts to the Colon I'm
port and Export company, in which
he was stakeholder, and that he had
benefited at least $4,000 from his
operations. His salary was $4,000 a
year. Several important contracts
were placed in Europe.
