The Planet Hars Is Lurid Now
The Eastern Skies.

For those VINO may find delight in
studying the mystery of the skies when
cloudless nights permit view of ths
stars, an especial interest is lent at this
time Mars is now visible. aud its fud-
dy disk is projected ae aiEst. the ever
ing sky with a briiliancy to which the
red planet seldom at: aims. The planet
will grow steadily in brilliancy and will
afford remarkable and unusual opro5-
tunity for the study of the astronomer
The amateur observer will find no
difficulty in locating Mars. About 10
o'clock in the evening its unmist akably
lurid disk win be seen in about the ccns
ter of the eastern sky. 1t is Just, Ee-
low the Twin stars, Castor Pollux, and
with them forms straight line point
ing to the horizon. By its bright red
color and from the fact that it burns
with steady glow iasteadof twinkling
the planet easily may be distinguished
among the usual number Of first mag
nitude stars which decorate the south-
eastern sky of an early aihter evening
1t has long been traditional that the
assumption of an unusually red hue by
Mars is portent of war, derived, of
course. from the fact that the planet
takes its name from the war god Al
this time Mars IS unusually r1dly, but
the placid United States wlITrej ,ct the
omen, and accept thu assurance from
Washington that We are at peace with
the world and will remain so.-Exclange.

The January Outing,


That winter SHOWS are no bar to out
door recreation is brought home forci-
bly, in the January Outing by the story
Dartmouth-A Winter College," This
article gives some of the inside history
of the Dartmouth Outing clab. 1t tells
how the undergraduates Of this college
overcame their severe winter handicap
by the formation of the Outing Club.
The few students that were charter
members back in 1910 have grown to
several hundred, in fact practically all
of the student body get out of doors in
the severest winter weather on snow
shoes and skis. It's lesson that a
great many of our other colleges SINH
larly situated would do well to follow.
The, entire issue of Outing brings out
the winter camping idea:-How To
Snow Shoe, The Prevention And Cure
of Snow Blindness, A Common Sense
Racing Ice Yacht, Shelter and Beds In
The Winter Camp. Things The. Winter
Camper Should Know, are indicative of
this new side of outdoor recreation.

TEST GRASS SEED FOR PURITY


joining states have pure seed laws,
and II the scotsman has impure yesds
on his hands he must get rid 81 them
in the state without the seed Law.
Now the question naturally arises,
How are we going to obtain prre seed
II we have no law to enfOree its
purity7
The first answer e this question is:
Buy nothing but high grade seed. even
though 1t may cost more per pound
than the lower grade article because
in almost every case the actual cost
for the pure vital seed win be less. In
1910 the seed analyst in one OF the
states adjoining West Virginia OBJ
tanned from certain seedsmen samples
of the different grades Of alsike and
red clover seeds. These were analysed
for purity and for termination He
then determined how much the pur.
chaser paid for each pound Of pure
live seed In the first grade samples
and found that in the lowest grade
samples the purchaser paid this same
price not only for every pound Of good
seed, but also for all the dead seed
and part OF the weed seeds lis well;
even though the original price pei
bushel had been much less for the
lower grade than for the higher grade
seed.
Mr.. J. G. Hackmati, Of Missouri UNI
yersity, cites an instance where mar
IN that state paid 500 per hundred
pounds for timothy seed which tested

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Find. All Her Energy and

Charles Town women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life a burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells. distressing urinary troubles, are
frequent indications of weak kidneys
and should be checkedin time. Deans
Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only.
They attack kidney diseases by strik-
ing at the cause. Here's proof of their
merit in q Charles Town woman's
words:
Mrs. Ida Pentz, 491 W. Washington
St, Charles Town. W. Va, says: ..For
several years had spells of backache
and kidney trouble. Ny kidneys we're
irregular in action and caused me much
annoyance. had severe pains in my
loins. When bending over l had trouble
in getting up again. Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought I'd my notice and
tried them. | only took q couple Of
boxes. but that was enough to relieve
the backache and make my Kidneys
