Nok Considered Important Enough For
 Newspapers First Page.
 In regard to the proclamation and publication of the Declaration of lnde- pendence Cmeaning the document itselp it must be noted that 1t was intended for the world at large rather than the colonists. The Declaration of Inde- pendence-that IS, the formal resolu- tion of the Continental congress or severance of allegiance from the moth- sr eountry-Was adopted July 2 after having been much debated principally iu committee of the whole, Benjamin Harrison in the chair) from June T. when it was offered by Richard Henry Lea. The fact that 1t was passed was published in the Pennsylvania Gazette of July 8. Few things show the diher snce in temperament of newspapers and public as regards "news" as does the fact that this great Declaration, which initiated the most profound po- littcal change in the country and made all the members of the congress traitors in the eye of British law, was not an- nounced on the front page, but was printed on an inside page, without comment or special display, except that a portion of the resolution was put ID capitals.
 The first publication of the text of the Declaration was in Towne's Penn Eylvania Evening Post of July 8, and' as has often been remarked, on the page facing the statement that all men are endowed with liberty" is an ad- ! vertisement of a negro boy for sale four or i've years old, who "has had smallpox and measles" It fig also worth noting that in the engrossed Declaration the spelling is united states," not Limited States"

MANY CASES OF
RHEUMATISM
NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid
Exposure and Eat Less Meat,


Stay off the damp ground, avoid
exposure, keep feet dry. eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
rheumatism Is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which IL gene
rated In the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urnie. The
pores of the skin are also a means OF
freeing the blood Of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed. thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to elm
mate this uric acid which keeps ac-
cumulatihg and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
NAL action. thus Kidding the blood Of
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes

atively poor showing. Only TIA per
cent of the vegetables consumed by
the family were raised on the farm.
instead of Sc per cent In North Caro-
lima and 80 per cent In Georgia. In
both of these states. which had. OF
course. the advantage of a longer
growing season, vegetables formed a
more important part of the family
fare than in. Kansas.
Eat Animal Products.
"A little more trouble in this respect
would probably have enabled the
farmers IN the Kansas area to inn
prove their living and lessen their ex-
penses. Where food is produced as
we'll as consumed at home it is usu-
ally both better and more abundant
than when it has to be purchased
with cash. Eating money" takes the
edge off ones appetite. Additional
evidence of this is offered by the COM
paratively free consumption in the
Kansas area of the animal products
raised on the farm. In the course OF
the year the average person had 43
dozen eggs. in Vermont he had only
IT; in Kansas he had $7.42 worth of
poultry and $2.16 In Vermont. Alto
gether he consumed $99.91 in food,
an amount equaled in no other area
except Iowa. where the conditions are
quite similar.

COMBINATION SCHOOLS.
Agricultural College Has Five Short
Course Institutions Booked.


Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 14.-Five
combination schools of agriculture
and home economics will, in this
month and February. reach more than
500 men and women With a week of
definite class instruction. These
schools. which are held under the d.
rection of the extension division of
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
will each be taught by four men and
two women. The subjects to be taken
up are stock feeding. dairying, soils
and crops. and cooking and sewing,
and in one case horticulture. There
will also be additional lectures by COL
lege experts.
The school at Coffeyville will begin
January %; at Mulva.le. February 1 !:
at Lovewell. February 8: at Fort
Scott. February Is: and at Leaven-
worth. February %.
For each school, q minimum enroll
ment OF 60 men end go women is re-
quired. Because OF limited funds,
only two more of those schools can
be arranged for this spring, but with

that such schools may in the future be
held throughout the college year.
Several special schools are also be-
ing planned in such subjects as or
