The Knockers Prayer
Lord, please don't let this town
grow? I've lived here for thirty
years and during that time I've
fought every public improvement; I've
knocked everything and everybody.
no firm or individual has established
business here without my doing all
l could to put them out of business
I've used every underhanded method
known to the knocking fraternity to
injure their business, I've lied about
and would have stolen from them if
7 had the courage, have done all
could to keep the town from growing,
never have l spoken good word for
it, but instead l have knocked hard
and often.
ut pains me, o Lord, to see that in
spite of my knocking this town is be-
ginning to grow. Some day fear
will be called upon to put down side
walks in front of my property, and,
who knows, but what l may have to
help keep up the streets that run by
my premises? This, Lord, would be
more than I could bear, it would cost
me money, and I could not afford to
put out my money, though all have
was made right here in this town.
Then, too, more people might come
if the town begins to grow, which
would cause me to lose some of my
pull. l ask, therefore, to keep this |
town at a standstill that l may con-
tinue to be the chief knocker, amen"

MEAT CAUSE OF

Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back

weather is bad you have rheumatic

sore and irritated, oblinging you f.
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
To neutralize these irritating acidx,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush or
the body's urinous waste, get fnnr
ounces of Jad Salts from any phaE-

glass of water before breakfast for a.

French Of the English military forces,
"has been to effect an accurate loca.
ton Vt the enemys forces and incl
dentajly, since the operations cover so
large an area, of our own units.
Nevertheless the tactics adopted for
dealing with hostile air craft are to
attack them instantly with one or more
British machines. This has been so
far successful that in five cases Ger
man pilots or observers have been shot
while in the air and their machines
brought to ground. AS consequence
the British flying corps has succeeded
in establishing an individual ascendan-
