Backbone of the Indian Army

In several respects the Sillhs, who are with the Indian forces at the front, form unique fighting force, says Lon don Tit-Bits In the first place they fill fully third of the rank and file of our native armies in India. Un- like the Gurkhas, however, they do not belong to a single race. There are several types of Sikhs, the force Deina divided into clans There Is what is known as the "Khattaries," or "i>sha- triyas" clan, consisting of representa- tives of the old military caste of the Hindus. They are not such big men as the "Jats," another Sikh elan, con sisting of tall, stalwart fellows who are a distinct contrast to the Mazbis. who are short, rather inclined to be stout, and have very dark skin and irregular features.
 All the clans. however, are noted for their great powers of endurance fighting qualities. and skill in handling gun and bayonet. Indeed it has often been said by military experts that there Is no more cool and effective soldier in the world than the Sikh who takes to our drill like duck takes to water, soon becomes sharpshooter and masters the use of the bayonet probably better than the soldiers of any other nationality
 So cold blooded and invincible, in deed, are they in a bayonet charge that It frightens even the most fearless fighters, who lose their nerve when confronted by the merciless steel in the hands of the dauntless and determined Indian troops.
 Although. however. there are various racial differences between the clans of the Silhs, there is one link which binds them together, and that is their relig- lon, which Is called "Sikhism." With out going into details, says the Navy and Army Illustrated it may be said that the faith disdains idolatry in- culcates the worship of God the Father end breaches the doctrne of the broth erhood of man. The religion of the Sikh makes him proof against "caste preJudices' s'-that is to say, unlike the Hindu. he is not required by his creed to refuse to break bread with anyone outside his own little clique, or ie- cline to eat food cooked by foreigners A tenet of their faith to which they strictly adhere is not to use tobacco In any form. Few of them partake of liquor to excess
 The Sfllhs make equally good cavalry and infantry men. In pioneer work that Is to say, in clearing forests, cut ting roads, making bridges. sinking wells to provide water for the army laying and neutralizng mines, etc. they cannot be beaten for the courage they display in facing difficulties which would daunt the stoutest hearts And since the Indian mutiny. when they fought so gallantly for us against the rebellious sepoys, their services being gratefully acknowledged and richly re- warded by this country, they have fought on our side and have always battled valiantly.

MEAT INJURIOUS ID THE KIDNEYS Take a Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder
 B0thers

We are nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a we'll known authority. who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get slug gish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus
 the waste is retained in the blood to poi
 son the enire system.
 When your kidneys ache and feel like
 Jumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irri- table, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe head aches. nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless- ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts: take a table spoonful in a glass of water before break fast each morning and in few days your kidneys will 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 and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutral ize the acids in urine so 1t is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot in- jure; makes delightful effervescent Whitewater drink, and nobody can make mistake by taking little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active

1 by those who have hitherto for the most part been left to suffer alone the na- tional industrial disasters of peace The difference between the two experi- ences lies precisely at the point thus in dicated. It is in the presnce or absence of national consciousness and resource fulness in meeting national industrial emergencies. In peace we have not yet become conscious that unemployment is national emergency, to be met only by the concern and the resources of the whole nation. In America the emergency is still thoughtlessly and unjustly left to the in dividual, the family, the locality and the class suffering most from it, to grapple with. Even they delay so late to do so that they can have recourse only to char ity, seldom to justice; only to relief, never to prevention; only to recovery from dis astrous effects, not to dealing with causes of disaster.
 This has been and now is the experience Of every industrial community hit hard est by the present paralysis of trade and labor. Private employment agencies fail to find work for their applicants, who are often their victims. Public employment agencies are so narrowly localized and disconnected, so politically exploited and therefore ineffective, that they are no better than private organizations, if as good, in bringing the demand and supply together. Employers are besought for jobs that they do not have. Their char ity is appealed to for part time work when there is no demand for the product of the workers already employed Pub iic authorities are turned to as a last resort to provide relief work" which generally proves to be only another form of public dole to the unemployable and inefficient.
 Great constructive public work to en- ploy the employable is the last resource to be thought of in peace, although the first to be resorted to in war Should it not be resorted to, not at the very end of everything else, but when private em- ployment is stacking up, and as an al- ternate with seasonal work? On the other hand, should not great private interests, which demand reserve labor for work un- avoidably seasonal, be expected to tide their own reserves over periods of slack work or unemployment? If both public and private employers deem it not waste but economy to sustain their reserve sol

Rest For Fur Bearers
om the New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
 Geneseo, N. Y.-Livingston county fur bearers will this winter have an almost complete rest from pursuit, thanks to the collapse of the market for raw furs. The depreciation in the value of trappers' products is due almost entirely to the European war. which has shut off ex- portation to the points of greatest de- mand.
 Most of the furs this fall bring less than half of what they did last year. A prime coonsSin. worth last year $4, with difficulty brings $1.50 this season. Musk rat skins or 'rats<ins," as they are better known here, are next to worthless.
 Fur buyers do not believe the depres- sion will continue for more than season and predict that letting them alone this winter will result in a substantial in- crease among these animals
 Most of the fur bearers are nocturnal providers and are not as easily extermi- hated as birds or squirrels, but high prices for furs in recent years have caused systematic inroads until just such an off season as this is badly needed.
