KILLED BY HIS SET he Youngsttown Telegram.

From the Youngstown Telegram.
 Watson Harpham, Yale "A, famous in athletics, killed himself at the home of his parents in Evanston, suburb of Chi cago because he was unable to secure suita ble employment. What kind of em- ployment the unfortunate young man de- sired is not stated, but it was probably something in keeping with his social standing, something that would not dis grace him in 'his set.''
 Perverted public opinion was responsible for the despondency which led the young man to commit the rash act. If he had continued to live he would in time have come into his own, for he was probably both physically and mentally fitted for the battle of life.
 Of course, he could not be seen starting to his work from a fashionable suburb at tired in blue overalls and carrying tin pail, although that is what the men wore who built the house he lived in and the schools he studied in and the great ce- ment "bowP' where he won his athletic honors. Some ninny, who would starve were it not for the parental wing, might see him at honest toil-and laugh.
 If he were the son of millionaire rail- road magnate and started out, after the manner of such sons, Ito learn the busi- ness from bottom up," 1t would be ali right for him to be seen at humble toll. It would have been just stunning to see him start out in humble blue jumpers. Why? Because they would know all the time that he was not compelled to do it and that he would in time be whale of a matrimonial catch.
 If the unfortunate young man had lived and worked his sons would probably have been hiring and firing the sons of the 1 luclSier young man, for such are the fre- quent happenings in the whirligig of time. l A social set'' is in some respects more
 merciless than the Highbinders who have | rule never to turn their backs on a friend but to join hands in giving him a start in life."

were never to be realized. one hope after another had to be given up. Indeed, i seems sometimes that life Is but a givins up day after day. Anticipations are sell dom realized. Perhaps it is best that thi. should be; for the same experience thai brought disappointments showed us that often as we thought we knew what would make us perfectly happy, we were nearl, always mistaken. It was the anticipation us happy. When it was over, it had served it's purpose; another took iti place.

How many things the origin dreams of youth failed to take into ac. count that were to prove the greatesi part of the business of lfet We ar. feeble in judgment; we do not alway, know how to trim ourselves, nor see ex. actly what form our lives should take Vicissitudes clip us here and there, ofter where we have least suspected the need of it.

 A come vite, tante,' says the officer in charge of the rounding-up party. We will give you a lift"
 But I cannot leave my bullets" says the old countrywoman, aghast. "They will starve.'
 You must come, tante," repeats the officer, infiexibly. 'I am sorry for you, ma mere; but this bitter time we must make sacrifices. Get your clothes, old lady. We cannot wait now"
 But the old woman backs up against the coop and fiddles a moment behind her with her left hand. Abruptly she has the door open, and with movement wonderfully quick for so old a body she steps inside, among her beloved poultry, and slams to the wire-covered door. :.
 The officer looks at me and laughs gently, yet with a queer little look of unexpected understanding in his eyes. "Ah. monsieur" he whispers, "the poor old body It breaks their hearts. But how many hearts are breaking these days! I have seen them thus many times these last days
 Then he dismounts and goes forward himself to the coop. He does his best to persuade the old woman to listen to reason and come out; but she is too old and too frightened and too rooted to year-long customs and habits.
 "No, no, I will not come. My bullets they will starve," she says, reiterating endlessly.
 But the Germans will come, ma mere" he says, patiently. "They will kill your bullets and eat them"
 "Neverr' screams the old woman.
 She stands in there, backed rigidly against the far side of the coop, with the chickens crowding away into the cor ners, cackling uneas silly. Outside the of ficer stands, silent; for he has ceased to expostulate. The sergeant, big, black bearded man, is crying quite frankly. and I see that several of the other men are in tears.

Lawyer Suggests n Change

the practice and procedure in our county courts,'' said a member of the Birming- ham bar, lis modification of the law that requires the civil courts to sus- pend operations for two weeks in the fall and spring terms by reason of Jeff ferson county's call in the supreme court. As the law now stands the judges are absolutely forbidden to sit on any cases during this recess and with the increasing number of cases filed in these courts. and a corresponding overcrowding of the dock cts, it is a sheer waste of time and a useless expenditure of the county's money for such condition to continue
 There Is no question but that the cor poration lawyers and attorneys with large clientage need time to prepare their cases, but I venture the assertion that there are far more attorneys practicing law in Birmingham who do not need the two weeks than those who do.
 Tn my opinion the clerks of the sev- eral courts could arrange a docket dur ing these two weeks that would not in- terfere with the lawyers who have a case or cases pending in the supreme courts. With the long summer adjournment and then again the loss of an additional four weeks during terms there is no wonder that the courts are behind with their dockets.''

 The Iron Trade
 The local iron market is without special feature this week, although inquiries have been more numerous.

 Sentiment rather than business hai improved. Since the first of the month there has been growing feeling thai change for the better is at hand. This is the first step toward a happier state oi affairs. As the chief magistrate would say. it is the psychology of an advanc- ing market. The minds of men must first be frightened their hearts must be cheered, their hopes and imagination must be stirred, they must be reused from the deadly lethargy which the dull times have thrown about them. In other words, fl you can take away the wet blanket thai now expresses them they will get up and do something.

DRINK MORE WATER
# KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take Salts for Back
ache or Bladder trouble
NeutraliZes acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful
in q glass of water before breakfast
for 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 clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

comes extinct. For six years it has
been known that this lone pigeon, a
female, thirty years old, was the
last one of her race. Now that she
is gone another black chapter in the
natural history of this country closes
Eleven species of North American
wild birds have been wiped out of eX
istence by man. TWenty-three other
species are rapidly diminishing and
some are approaching the vanishing
point. Bird conservation may prevent
the determination of other species
