a big hurrah. Most all the Southern

HOW WEATHER BUREAU
FORECASTS STORMS,
FROSTS AND FLOODS
;: {. :: &. . . m" " {" " - e"

Washington. ID. c., Jan, 20.-Many
people have an idea that there is
something mysterious and occult in
the work of the weather bureau in
lorecasting the coming OF storms,
frosts and floods. Not a few think
that the Observers must necessarily
get their data by reading the plan
cts, the stars and the moon. As a
matter of fact the forecaster of the
bureau foretells the coming of dis
turbances in a businesslike way, very
similar to that in which a man who
has ordered a shipment of goods
would estimate the date of its ar.
rival.
Suppose a business man had or.
dered carload of pineapples from
the Hawaiian islands. He would
know the average time it would take
the steamer to make the trip to the
Pacific port, the average time for un-
loading and loading into refrigerator
cars, and the average number OF
days to be allowed these cars for
their trip across the continent to
New York. His estimate, however,
would be subject to error because
the steamship might be delayed by
fog. or the cars might meet with an
accident.
Storms, like pineapples, as a rule,
do not originate in the United States.
They come to US, some from the Phil
ippines, Japan, Siberia Alaska Cana
da or the Gulf of Mexico. The wealth
er bureau gets cable, telegraphic or
wireless notice Of a foreign storm.
Station after station, or vessel after
vessel reports the storms arrival in
its neighborhood, so that the gen
eral direction and rate of progress
can be determined very nearly. In
fact. the arrival of some storms can
be foretold ten days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the re
gion Of low barometer which is the
center around which the winds blow.
This whirl or eddy moves bodily for

of about $50 miles a day in our lati-
tudes. As the lines Of equal pres

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney re-

uric acid which overworks the kid
neys in their effort to filter it from
the blood and they become sort of
paraly2ed and loggy. When your kid .
neys get sluggish and clog yol
must relieve them, like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the body'S
urinous waste, else you have back
ache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coat
ed, and when the weather is bad
YOU have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full Of sediment
channels often get sore, water scaIds
and you are obliged to seek relief
two or three times during the
night.
Either consult a good, reliable
ply sician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad

glass of water before breakfast for 4
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
