JOHNSON PRAISES FARM LIFE
Star TwlrIer Of Washington Team At
tributes His Success TO Hard
Work on Kansas Ranch.

There is no pitcher better qualified
TO tell his fellow craftsman how to
succeed in their profession than Wal
ter Johnson, the star of the Washing
ton American league club Johnson
attributes his success to the follow
ing program of living.
Il was born on farm and love the
life. A good many ball players don't,
but do. When the baseball season is
over go back to our farm out in Kan
sas and work on the place right
through the winter, just like any OF
the men. I get enough Of the big
towns and the bright lights during the
summer, and am glad to get back to
the farm and do farm work just as
soon as | can. And | always hate to
come back East every spring to begin
playing baseball again.
Il have often said, and no one has
disputed me, that | work harder every
winter than any other ball player. The
result is that in the spring am just
as lard as was in the autumn In
stead of hanging around hotels and
poolrooms in some big city / am out
on the farm, getting up every morn
Ing before daylight and going out to

help feed the stock. Then / como
back to the house for breakfast, have
good healthy appetite and eat ac-
cordingly.
After that there is lot more work
to be done around the place. put in
good day every day in the week, and
by the time night comes am ready to
turn in early, for know that the next
morning must get up just as early
and start out again, lantern in hand,
sometimes with the thermometer way
down below zero, for we have 1t cold
out our way lots of time during the
winter. I don't do it so much
because have to, but because
/ like to, and haven't yet run
across any ball players with whom I
would swap places during the off sea-

A foreign government made it pos
sible for a lot more Kenosha men tC
get back to work today when the JEFF.
fiery company called in a lot of the
former employees on the receipt of 6
cable order from Europe for sever
hundred and fifty three-quarter tor
trucks for immediate delivery to New
York City The details of the order
will reach the factory some time dur.
ing the day and it is not known just
what these trucks will be, but it is Ger.
tain that the total of the order will run
far over the million dollar mark
The coming of the big order had been
expected at the Jeffery plant. TT. G.
Hill, the foreign salesman of the Jeffery
company, has been in England and
France for months and he has been in
close touch with all demands of the al.
lied armies. President Charles T. JET.
ferry of the company is also in Europe
giving his personal supervision to the
making of these big contracts for the
company. E. S. Jordan sales manager
of the company, is in New York tax
ing care of the order at this end.
The order calls for the delivery of the
seven hundred and fifty trucks in sixty
days and this will mean that the com
pany must turn out from twenty to
thirty trucks daily in addition to the
large output of the pleasure cars. The
former truck order to the Jeffrey com
pany has just been cleaned up and at
the plant the decks are being cleared
for action in order to take care of the
coming order. Just as soon as the
specifications for the trucks arrive
big force of men will be added to the
present force. 1t is expected that the
Jeffrey company will then have more
than normal force at work The re-
port that the big order had been
awarded to the Kenosha company
spread like wild fire about the city to-
day and there was rejoicing everywhere.
Jeffrey trucks have been in use with
the soldiers of the allied armies for the
past three months and it is declared
that they are making good better than
any of the other domestic or foreign
made trucks. It is not improbable that
following the shipment of the present
big order that the Jeffrey company will
have other orders for immediate ship
ment and that the truck business alone
will keep the company buster this yea
than the pleasure car business.
AS with other big orders purchased
by the foreign governments in America
the order provides for the delivery of
the cars to the foreign purchaeing
agents in New York.

In vetoing the Immigration Bill Pres
ident Wilson said Z" If the people OF
this country have made up their minds
to limit the number of immi ,rants by
arbitrary tests, and so reverse the poll
cy of all generations of Americans that
have gone before them, it is their right
to do SO; but do not believe they have
[ respectfully submit thai no one can
quote heir mandate to that effect"
Three ongresses-whieh are pre-
sumed by political license to repre-
the will OF the nation-have enacted
laws to restrict immigration by a liter,
acy Test. Three presidents also pre-
sumed b. by political license to repre-
soEt the will Of the nation-have We.
toed those laws on the ground that the
people did not want them; and whether
a majority of the electorate does or
does not favor restricting immigration
by literacy test is as debatabIe as
ever.
The president observes that no party
has gone to the country ON this issue;
but even if restricting immigration bv
literacy test were put in 6 party's
platform aid that party won at he
polls il would by no means follow that
a majority o. the electorate favored re-
stricting immigration, because other is
sues would probabaly overshadow the
immigration question.
Unless sentiment became so pro
nounced that congress overrode a pres
idential veto, congress might 90 on
adopting literacy tests and presidents
go on vetoing them to the end of time
each claiming to express the will of the
people. So with a hundred a,1d one oues-
tons that are important, but not Of par
amount importance; yet it would not
be difficult to obtain direct expression
of opinion on many of these questions.

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY:
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those subject
to rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water. :
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. It is the func-
ton. of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating 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
of Jad Salts; put tablespoonful in a
fast each morning for week. This
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made: from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with I1ithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism.1 Here you have a pleasant, ef-
fervescent 1ithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to
your kidneys as well. g ss...gs~ -. =
