the soundest available basis for en-
enlargement. One good authority
estimates that our agricultural prod
ucts this year, including animals, will
probably reach IL or IL billion dol
lars, compared with 10 billions last
year.
Next to the crops. the best support
ing influence is cheap money. Funds
are abundant for all sound purposes.
There may be some closer scrutiny of
commercial credit resulting from the
Claflin failure, but trade conditions
generally are sound. and good borrow
ers will find no difficulty in securing
all the accommodation which they
may need. Further assurance regard
, ing the money market has been guar
anteed by Secretary McAdoo's prudent
offer to give such assistance through
the release OF treasury funds for NOV
| ing of the crops as may be necessary.
1t is quite probable that the new re-
serve system will not be in working
order in time to meet financial re-
uuirements this autumn. Hence the
timeliness of the secretary's action.
Moreover, it will be some months and
possibly a year before the new bank
ing system is in thorough workins
order. Gold exports have about end
ed. and soon we shall be exporting
wheat and cotton instead. In spite OF
| the recent large exports of gold. our
banks are well supplied with the pre-
cious metal.

SENATOR WEST ON
JOB At WASHINGTON

Atlanta, Ca, March 5.-Hon. w. 5.
West Of Valdosta, newly appointed
senator, will arrive in Washington to-
day and be sworn in before the United
states Senate sometime tomorrow. His
commission was signed late Tuesday
and mailed at s1lcS-sssssessssaasssaasp
ton to Senator Hoke Smith, who will
Introduce his new colleague and be his
sponsor at the ceremony.
Senator West will announce his po-
litical plans very shortly after assum-
ing his seat. Governor Slaton will not
announce his intentions as to candidacy
for the senate until after Senator
Vests announcement. 1t is believed
by his friends that Governor Slaton
will declare his candidacy for the
the United States senate within a
short time.
1t is believed that the governor and
his appointee will by no means oppose
each other, and should Governor SIa-
ton decide to offer for the unexpired
term, Senator West will not make the
race for reelection.

Mel Trotter is a rough neck" in
the usually accepted sense. of that
term, so far as language and manners
are concerned, but he has the most
wonderful conviction of his own peC-
sonal salvation, of any man at the
whole conference. He was a prach-
cally hopeless drunkard, and was
headed from the gutter to suicide
grave, when he stumbled into rescue
mission. He was literally saved, y
and that's why he believes so wildly
in the power of salvation. He is talk
ing to packed auditorium every day,

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of SaItS to Flush Kid
ReyS, If Bladder BOthers
You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble In some form
or other, says a we'll known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become oVerwork-
ed; get sluggish; clog up and cause
all sorts of distress, particularly
backache and misery in the kidney
region; rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder
and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
.neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces %
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them TO normal
activity; also to neutralize the acide
il the urine so it no longer lrritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The tennis courts on the high
school grounds will be fixed up this
week so that by next Monday they
will be in shape for playing.
Report cards will be given out next
Monday and this week is proving a
big one for teachers as well as pupils.
The weather of last week was
splendid fer the track men who are
getting in shape for the pentathlon
between classes that is being arranged
for in the near future. Since Russell
Starkes' address there has been more
interest manifested among the high
! school students.
Practically only four more weeks of
| school remain as the last or sixth
week consists only of examinations.
AS representatives of the high
school, Frank Rowley, Albert Mohr
and the Misses Connie Jawort and
Agnes Laut will go to Grand Rapids
next Friday to participate in the
league contest on that evening. All
are hoping for the best and from re-
ports We believe that our orators and
DISCLAIMERS will come out at the top.

Easily Made At Home

The neY beads that are popular may be made easily at home in the following manner: Into a clean granite kettle put one cup of salt, moistened with cold wa ter. Bring to boil, add half cup of corn starch, mixed smooth, and stir when it is thoroughly cooked Lift the kettle from the fire and turn the mixture into a dish containing about tablespoonful or olive oil. Have the hands well oiled with it. knead the mixture as you would bread dough. When it is smooth, color small quantity of the dough with or dinary dyes or water color paints If you use the former, mix a small quantity of the dye with cold water and work the color into the dough with the fingers. Perfume or oil of roses may be added at the same time. If you wish, after the dough has been colored, wrap it first in a dry cloth, then in a wet one. This will insure It's keeping in good condition for at least week, in case you are not ready to make the beads at once As you mold the beads make hole through the cen ters with steel pin, After molding. let them stand overnight. In the morning they will be all ready to string. In case you do not care to do the holding bv hand you may get mold at any hard ware store. If you wish to use the beads Tor evening wear most attractive effect may be gained by alternating the eolored With cut steel beads, or with small cut glass beads that look like crystal.
