ONE ON SECRETARY DANIELS
Head of the Navy Evidently Not an
Expert as to the Odor Of
Alcoholic Liquors.

A story is going the rounds in
Washington about Secretary of the
Navy Daniels which may or may not
reflect credit on that official, accord.
ing to the point OF view. According
to this story the secretary was one
morning comforting with an officer
and in the middle OF his conference
interrupted the proceedings to say:
This is the second morning that I
have smelled whisky on your breath,
slr!"
To which the officer is said to have
replied: Il beg your pardon, Mr.. Sec.
rotary, it was whisky yesterday, but
1t is gin this morning"
No name has been allowed to leak
out in connection with this story, and
1t may be that there is more fiction
than fact in it.-Boston Transcript.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
tralize Irritating Acids-SpIendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there Is
difficulty in avoiding 1t.
Bladder weakness, most plks call
it, because they can't control urlna-
ton. While 1t is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu'
tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves'
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

KNOW NOW
And Will Never Forget the Experience

The coffee drinker who has suffered
and then been completely relieved by
changing from coffee to Postum knows
something valuable. There's no doubt
about it.
Il learned the truth about coffee in a
peculiar way" says a California wom-
an. My husband who has, for years,
been of bilious temperament decided
to leave off coffee and give Postum a
trial, and as did not want the trouble
of making two beverages for meals
concluded to try Postum, too. The re-
suits have been that while my husband
has been greatly benefited, have my
sell received even greater benefit.

I'VE have learned our little lesson
about coffee and we know something
about Postum, too, for we have used
Postum now steadily for the last three
years and we shall continue to do so.

Don't forget that you may at some
time want to open the top sash of the

are not particular as to through which
sash they enter; therefore have the
screen run from top to bottom OF the
window; to do this, side springs will
be necessary in the screen frames, but
they will cost little more than a screen
which can be used only from the bot
ON sash and which is little better
than no screen at all.
Don't forget that there will never be.

emit; materials of all kinds are cheap
er than they have been for several
years, and as soon as the European
war is owe there is sure to be a sharp
advance in prices.

PROPER CARE OF THE LAWN
Grass Plat Must Never Be Neglected
" Home Is to Have a Proper
Appearance.

One Of the most important duties
on the home place during the summer
is the care of the lawn. There is
nothing about a place that makes SO
much for general attractiveness as a
well cared for lawn.
Many people make the mistake OF
keeping the lawn cut too close. In
that case the grass roots are exposed
to hot sun and drying winds during
the summer Cut the lawn frequently.
but do not set the machine too close.
To keep the lawn looking clean at all
times have a grass-catcher attachment
on the mower A careful watch for
weeds on the lawn should be kept
Cut them out we'll below the surface
with an old knife as soon as they are
large enough to be seen.
A roller on the lawn is advisable,
but it should be used with care.
Lawns that have been rolled for a long
time are likely to become over-rolled;
there is surface cohesion or close
packing of the top soil, which prevents
the admission of air and healthy root
development. The remedy is the use
of the spiked tamper. A homemade
one may be made by taking a piece Of
two-inch plank, some 12x12-inch tim
Der and inserting four-inch spikes an
inch and a half or two inches apart
Bore holes a little smaller than the
spikes before driving them in, to pre-
vent splitting the wood. Perforate
the whole surface thoroughly with
this, give a top dressing, lightly rake
it in and water the whole thoroughly
late in the afternoon.

Red Fox

a merely skunk through the heather
investigating the food supply. Now
he curled himself up snugly in his
earth and prepared to sleep until
nightfall.
Red Fox was a bachelor. He was a
monster fox, and one of the Oldest OF
the county. His splendid fur was
known to every huntsman over a ra-
dius of leagues. He had pitted his
wits against the hounds time and
again, and always won.
Life was nothing without the spice
of adventure. They say a fox loves
the hunt as much as the men, the
hounds, and tho horses. Red Fox was
hunted three times a week, and he
knew every trick of his trade. Some
day, when his strength and speed be-
gan to fail him, the inevitable end
would come. The hounds would tear
his slim body, his mask and pads and
brush would be cut off to adorn some
hall. But of that Red Fox knew moth
ing. He thought that he was immor-
tai.
When night came he skunk out and
was soon going at full gallop across
the fields. The house that he had in
spected had a new chicken yard. 1t

Fox to leap from a bough to the coop

Vaguely uneasy, Red Fox shifted
about the place, and then, warned by
his anne instinct, he trotted about half
a mile away, into a gorse patch,
where he lay down and devoured the
cockerel. Afterward he went to sleep,
with one ear dropping and the other
alert for possible enemies.
The sun had been up some time
when Red Fox lazily stretched his
limbs and prepared to stir. But as he
did so he scented a peculiar and hated
odor, SO like his own that he showed
his teeth in fury. 1t was not that of
a rival fox. however, but of the sniff
ing hounds that surrounded the gorse
covert.
They had scented him and were on
his trail. Behind them rode the mas

gathered for the hunting.
Suddenly, with a bay, the Oldest
hound dashed forward toward the spot
Where Red Fox lay. And instantly Red
Fox had leaped from the covert and
was racing along the ditch.

The huntsmen strung out in a long

speed was greater than theirs. it could
not last. Red Fox. looking back. saw
the hounds two fields away. and the
horses leaping the hedges.
Red Fox had been hunted Rany

now he began to be vaguely distressed.
