A Queer Mother.

Downy Back was a wee yellow
chicken. He was so yellow he looked
like a spot of sunshine on the floor
When he was hardly out of his
shell, his mother went away and
left him to take care of himself
Little cared he. All day he would
scratch in the earth. finding the most
ridiculous worms for himself. 1t
was only when night came that he
missed his mothers warm. soft
feathers.
But one night he found a feather
duster standing in the corner of the
barn. feather end down. Downy
Back must have thought that it had
been put there especially for him.
And after that each night. when 1t
came bedtime. he would run and cud
die beneath the feathers and sleep
as snug as could be until morning.

LESS MEAT # BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take q glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
If Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro.
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says q well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, 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 Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in 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
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine 80 it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

Peter, who had saved him from
drowning and had crawled all the
way home, tired and wet, to tell
mother that Toby was in trouble
and needed her.
Toby cried, too, and thought with
shame how he had treated the dog.
He begged to see Peter, but mother
told him to go to sleep for a little
while and that she would bring Peter
in by and by.
But Toby couldn't sleep AS soon
as mother had left the room he crept
softly out Of bed and into the kitch-
en- where Peter lay weak and shak-
ing behind the stove. Toby drop

his arms around the dogs shaggy

To Iaunder Chintx

The housewife whose house is filled
with dainty chintz draperies and COW
ers finds that each time her chintz
is washed its designs become a bit
lighter, until they are so faint as to
be almost indistinguishable.
This fading is due to the wov the
chintzes are Numbered. The chintz
should be soaked in cold water, made
briny with plenty Of salt and vinegar.
When the brine has thoroughly pen
etrated through the goods little hot
water should be run into the tub. not
enough to make the tub full of warm
water, just enough to make it tepid.
The washing should not be done
with very strong acid soap-in fact,
a soft, soap is preferable.
When the chintz is hung up to dry
care should be taken that it is hung
in the shade.
When not quite dry It should be TAX
en- down and ironed from the wrong
side.
The great thing in preserving the
colors of chintz is not to let heat
come in contact with the right side of
the goods. ....
or course the irons will have to be
fairly hot in order that the chintZ
may look fresh and without wrinkles,
but this heat should be applied to the
wrong side Of the goods.

OUR BOYS 5 +;
and GIRLS ; !;
BOW-LEGGED PETER.

Take Peter with you to grand
mas, son." mother called to Toby as
he went down the road. See! He
Is wagging his tail almost off in the
hope that you will ask him to go
along"
Toby turned toward the scrubby-
coated, ugly dog who was hopping
eagerly on his short bow legs be-
hind the fence.
II don't want to take him." he
said sulkily Hes such an ugly old
thing. ! just hate him with his old
bow legs. All the boys make fun of
me and ask where l got the ki-yi.
He's too ugly to live"
why. Toby. what wicked thing
to say! Peter can't help it, He is
a good, kind dog and loves you. l
am ashamed of you!"
Whenever mother told Toby that
she was ashamed of him, 1t meant
that she was feeling very much hurt
about something he had done, so
rather than have her feel badly, he
opened the gate and whistled to
Peter who rushed out and frantical-
ly licked Toby's hand.
That's good boy. Give grand
ma my love-" Mother went into the
house while Toby and Peter walked
down the dusky road. the dog gam
boiling happily.
Toby didn't feel a bit like gamboi-
along.
IF 1t wasn't for mother I'd give
you to the pound or throw you in the
water to drown" he said to the dog.
You are nothing but an ugly old
Charlevoix county herald., 1915-10-16

mongrel anyway. You can't even be
taught trick because your legs are
so crooked. You're just no good for
anything"
He threw stick at Peter. Peter
ran and brought 1t back.
AS they passed Mr.. Bishops farm
the Bishop boys ran to the fence
and shouted:
There goes Toby and old Peter
Bow-legs! Bow-legs; Bow-legs! Old
Peter Bow legs! Why don't you get
a dog with straight legs?"
That made Toby crosser than ever.
Although the boys shouted at him
every time he took Peter out. it
seemed to make him angrier to-day
than ever before. He wanted to
run away and lose Peter, but he re-
membered mother and didn't dare.
Toby turned down the road beside
the river so that he would be sure
not to meet, any Of the boys. He
walked along sulkily. hating Peter
with all his might.
When they reached the bridge
that spanned the deepest part of the
river. Toby spied something that
made him open his eyes wide. The
little wild rose tree that grew down
on the slanting bank had three love-
l.; pink blossoms on 1.-THE first
flowers of the season!
Grandma loved wild roses better
than any other kind of flower. She
always told Toby that they were the
paint pots from which the fairies
got the pretty pink that they painted
on good children's cheeks. She told
Toby all sorts of pretty stories about
the flowers, but the incest were
about the wild roses.
So Toby made up his mind to get
those three little blossoms for grand
ma He crawled down between the
bridge and the bank on his stomach,
while Peter danced uneasily around
him, whining and begging him to be
careful. But Toby didn't listen. He
hung on by his left hand to the
post In the bridge and reached as far
as he could with his other arm.
His arms were so short that they
could not quite grasp the flowers.
so he wriggled down just little bit
further and tried again. Then
something happened-Toby never
knew what.
All he felt was a swift slide, a
drop, and then ice-cold water closing
over his head. He had fallen into
the river. And he could not swim
a strokel
He struggled and beat the water
with his hands. After a long time
he came to the top of the water. He
shouted and waved his arms, look
ing wildly toward the bank Of the
stream.
No one was there except old Peter,
his mouth wide open, his yellow
body gathered on his bow legs, and
his eyes eagerly searching for a sight
Of Toby.
The moment he caught sight of
the boys head he gave q short, en-

is capable of breathing through the
mouth II the nostrils are obstructed,
and many from habit or debility con-
tinually do so-a practice, whether by
day or by night, attended with many
evils, whereas every breath of air a
man inhales through his nostrils Is
a breath of life.
One exercise, repeated fifty or a
hundred times a day, requiring no
more than ten minutes all together,
is of the greatest advantage, and can
be done out-of-doors as well as in, at
almost any season of the year. 1t con-
sists of inhaling through the nostrils
a deep breath, retaining it a few sec
onds, and then, with the lips adjusted
as If one intended to whistle, expelling
it slowly through the contracted orr
fee. There is no physiological objec-
ton to exhaling through the mouth;
there are no muscles whereby the
course of the breath can be restrained
through the nostrils; but the lips con-
tain sufficient muscular strength for
this purpose. If students would rise
from their studies, bookkeepers from
their desks, women from their sewing
or reading, two or three times a day,
and take from fifteen to thirty such
breaths, the result would surprise
them.

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by CIV
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions of humanity, or by filling it's
columns with the echoes of the strug-
giles Of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
It has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds Of new
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
in the roadstead Of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter
ests of the farmers by applying it's
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. Il
The Benson signal., 1915-10-30

must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it a thousand
boys and girls per day. It has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. It's
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
fciency and mold the intellectual life
Of the country, placing before the pub
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
islative, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within it's respective community.

Wednesday was apparently crazy
mans day in Benson. A deputy
sheriff was here between trains
with two individuals committed to
the asylum at Phoenix, and in the
forenoon an individual with an un-
balanced mine drifted into the
Mansion pool hall and was taken in
charge by Constable Profit, and
Thursday he was taken to the coun-
ty seat to appear before alienist
specialists. One Of the men being
taken to Phoenix was evidently
not very crazy, for, while here, he
telegraphed to his mother in the
east that he was being railroaded
TO the asylum.
j. E. Mertaugh came in from
Johnson Thursday to visit with his
family here. Mr.. Mertaugh has a
