venient, light and entirely satisfactory
structure for Wisconsin conditions. II
possible, it should occupy an elevation
with a southern or southeastern ex.
posture because poultry more than any
other class of live stock require an
abundance of fresh air and sunlight
and must have dry quarters. Good
drainage is very essential to a salts
factory site for a poultry house.
The floor area in this and every
good poultry house is determined by
the size of the flock and the proper
ton of the year during which the
fowls are confined. In flock of 10C
or more hens, each bird should have
four square feet of floor space. In
smaller fiocks the amount of fool
space required by each hen is relative
ly much greater.

STOP EATING MEAT IF
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
neys If Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery In the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sieeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a 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, 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 acids In
the urine SO it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia.

women take now and then to keep the

this defect. Originating as it does
in the head of the rail and away from
the surface, it grows to dangerous
size before it reaches the surface to
reveal itself in a visible crack. But
long before it reaches that proportion
1t usually has done it's work, when the
rail collapses under some severe
strain.
There is nothing in the appearance
of an affected rail to reveal such a
flaw at any stage before it reaches
the surface. Strike it and it has the
same sound as a rail that Is f1awless.
Even the most delicate experiments
with electrical currents have failed to
reveal the presence Of these assures.
What causes these assures is al
most as great mystery as the fact
Of their existence. Exhaustive investi-
cations of hundreds of affected rails
have shed but little light upon this dis
puted subject. The railroad author
tiles blame the steel makers. The
foundrymen lay it to speed and weight
of trains. The railroad authorities be-
lieve that hidden defects in the COM
position of the rails themselves are
responsible for the flaws that develop
in the service. The steel men insist
that their rails are perfect, and point
to the fact that no such flaws have
yet been discovered in unused rails
and that they have been found in all
portions of rails in actual use no mat
ter how perfect their chemical and
mechanical position.-Chicago Elk

Railroad In Iceland.

Plans are now complete for the
first railroad in Iceland, Reykjavik,
over the Thingvalla plain to the Oh
fusa bridge, a distance of about fifty
eight miles, and will be continued
ultimately to Thorsjaa, and from there
one branch will lead to the geysers
and the other to Oerbak.
The present methods of travelling
are extremely primitive, the roads be-
ing few and poorly maintained and
with few bridges over rivers. In gen
eral, island journeys are made on
horseback, over bride paths or trails
and the streams have to be forded.

POULTRY CORNER
FOR THE BOYS
About Thin-SheIled Eggs.
BY j. n. REED.


Have you any hens which are lay
ing soft-shelled eggs? Do you know
why? Well, it is because they aren't
getting any lime to make egg shells
out Of.
You couldn't expect a mason to
build silo without cement. So you
can't expect hens to put shells around
their eggs without lime. They must
have the materials to work with be-
fore they can build eggs. And the
better materials they are furnished,
the better eggs they manufacture.
Speaking about masons, common
plaster makes fairly good source of
lime for hens. Crush 1t up and put it
in hopper, where they can get it
when they need it. They will make
very good shells from 1t.
But the best materials for hens to
get their lime from are shells. These
can be gathered along some lake or
river shore and crushed by putting
them in bag and breaking them up
with hammer. If you desire, any
feeding company will supply you
with crushed oyster shell at nominal
price.
A soft-shelled egg is worthless, be-
cause it can't be shipped. Put hop
per in your poultry house and keep
It filled with crr shed shell. 1t will not
cost much. Aid you will not be both
cred any more wfsh softshelled eggs.

AID is DENIED TO SIX SCHOOLS
Stearns County Will Lose Nearly S4,-
500 Because Sisters Are Employ
ed as Teachers.

Because sisters are employed as
instructors in the schools, six = dis
Itricts in Stearns county have been de-
MED all state aid meaning an annual
loss of about $4,389 to the six dis
tricts affected, says Wednesday even
ing's St. Cloud Journal-Press.
Some months ago an order was is
sued prohibiting the employment of
sisters in the schools, when the garb
was worn. 1t was believed then that
some compromise could be effected
and six of the districts in this county
re-employed the sisters. The Motif
cation, however, received today from
the state superintendent of schools
says that the districts have been cut
off from the aid.
The affected districts are: No. 20
at Richmond with 234 pupils; No. %
at New Munich with 1913 pupils; No
"a at St. Augusta with IS pupils; No
SO at Luxembourg with 103 pupils; No
1O2 at Freeport with 1876 pupils and
No. 131 at Lake Henry with 48 pupils
The average yearly aid received fol
each pupil is about $3.50 making to-
tai loss to the six districts of about
$4,389. ...~
AS result the number of pupils
in the county receiving aid has been
reduced. The figures now show that
there are 9,685 entitled to the aid
1926 in high and graded schools and
$3.50 in semi-graded and rural
schools.

Schmitt made hard fight to land on

Like Minnesota, our sister state,
North Dakota, has a United States
senatorial fight on it's hands and the
fact is evident in frequent confer
ences of the North Dakota kingmak-
ers at the Merchants Hotel in St. Paul
United States Senator McCumber's
scalp is the prize and hard on it's
trail are Governor Hanna and Con-
gresham Helgesen. But above them
all, however, looms former Governor
Burke, now United States treasurer.
Burke was some man when executive
of North Dakota and the fear is that
he may come back. AS of old, the
Merchants hotel as the halfway house
of every North Dakota politician and
it is there that much of it's political
history is made.

ton commissioner. A meeting is now
under consideration to decide the
