READY FOR STERN WAR
WEST INDIAN ISLANDS ARM FOR

In the European Conflict Very

A cargo Of war tales has arrived

Cancer are throwing up towering earth.
works and barefooted natives, yester'
days nobodies, are today generals;
roustabouts are soldiers; every town
has guard; every island distrusts
every other island. Ten thousand rusty
fintlook muskets rule the land, and
from the sea come tales OF strange
men-of-war threading in and out
among the islands, always seeking and
never finding one another.
Every native on the island OF St
Lucia is happy these days, for he

AT Barbadoes, every negro and Chi.

they are afraid OF l don't know, but
heard that they have been told the
kaiser was planning to send his feet
over to capture the possession.
THAT was enough for those natives

AT Dominica, near ST. Thomas, the
natives have built little fort just to
fight the German navy when It does
come over. There are not enough white
men in Dominica to hold a meeting

center OF their fort they have planted

HORNS NOT NEEDED
BY DAIRY ANIMALS
Best and Least Cruel Method Of
Removal Is by Use Of
CauStic Potash.

Except in the case OF cattle that are
to be used for exhibition purposes all
dairy animals should be dehorned. In
the wild state cattle needed horns for
protection, but in the present state of
domestication horns serve no useful
purpose and are n source of consider
able annoyance,
On the adult animal the horns may
be removed by the use of the saw or
clipper In either case the cut should
be close enough to the head to leave
a ring of hair on the part that is re-
moved. otherwise there is likely to be
a stubby growth of horn appear in the
course of year or two
The best and least cruel method of
removing horns is by means of an ap-
plication of caustic potash to the horn
buttons while the calf is from one 20
four days old. The hair is carefully
clipped from the button and the
moistened end of stick of caustlc
potash is then rubbed on the spot un-
til the skin bleeds slightly. Care
should be taken to prevent the liquid
caustic from running OF the button
but IL only small amount is rubbed
on there will be no danger from this
source, II the caustic has been prop
erly applied there will be dent IN
the skull where the button appeared
and no horns will develop.

HEAVENLY CONDITIONS.

A country clergyman in Russia
writing OF the improved conditions in
that country under prohibition, says:
THE old women in the villages can
hardly believe their own eyes and
ears. so changed are their men folk.
Not hard word. not a row, but every
where peace. kindness and industry.
War is said to be hell. but this is like
a foretaste OF heaven"

Roleau was past them. beyond tho
door, and in the hall before their scat
tered senses had time to realize what
had happened.
AS he fed, Roleau had no plan be-
yond that OF mere fight. But 1t
chanced that he reached the outer cor
ridor Just as Kittys guards were
bringing her into 1t. He fell likewise
upon Kitty's guards with such des-
perate valor that before long they. too,
were scattered and helpless. A mo-
ment later Kitty and Roleau fed seek
ing some exit from the palace walls!
The hue and cry followed them now
Almost they had escaped, but not
quite. Even nt the great door OF the
palace itself they were apprehended
by yet other armed men. Once more
they were brought before the king.
80 1t seems we have two incor-
rigibles," commented that monarch
coldly as he faced Roleau and Kitty,
still painting. This man, as you
know, Sachio, is far more dangerous
than his accomplice here. She is dan
gerous, yes, in a way, but this man
has hesitated at nothing-not even
murder What shall we do with him?"
Sachio stood also regarding the two.
"I'll tell you, your majesty" said he
at length, slowly. 'if you ask me my
own feeling in the matter. Let us
send them out of the country to-
gether They have way of gravitat-
ing together-let them go together to
that America of which they talk so
much. Let them find the protection
Of that Uncle Sam of whom they
prate"

Sachio tAerefore now had his task.
But how to achieve it was his ques-
ticn. He knew we'll enough he could
not oblige either Kitty or Roleau to
book passage across the ocean unless
they so desired

He fastened now as rapidly as he
might to the water front. where at the
somewhat restricted docks of Grahof-
fen an occasional ocean liner touched.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-
forts to expel it from the blood They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a 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 and stimulate sluggish kidneys.

so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes delightful efIeryescent
lithia-water drink.

He knew of such an instance nova
vessel of sorts was lying loaded and
almost ready to sail. Perhaps chance
would favor him.
He made his way across the crowded
docks to the gangway of the steamer;
but he sought no converse with the
captain or the purser of the ship. In
stead he beckoned to him one or two
deck stewards, whom he selected after
a quick look as countrymen of land
he knew.
See here, my good men," said he
when he had them aside. "As fancy,
we are all interested in making money

A grin made the answer of the two
sailors, who stood expecting some gra-
tuity.
The gratuity came-it fell into their
hands-in gold-and in large pieces!
They stood dumfounded and speech,
less for the moment, but Sachio went
on:
Listen, men," said he. "There are.
two spies here in the city. a man and
a young woman. They are dangerous,
to our country. They are our pris-I

"That is right. We know them

Now. we must get these spies out of
