STREET CLEANING A
COMMUNITY PROBLEM.
Good Condition Of Streets Depends
1-eJ Upon Civic Spirit. :" :: r

Efficient street cleaning is not merely
a process Of collection and removal of
dust and waste, says Carol Aronovici
in the Town Improvement Magazine
The cleanliness of our streets depends
upon conditions inherent III the spirit
OF the people, the character and plan
ming scheme upon which the commune
ty has bsen developed and the method
of administering the laws and ,ordi-
nances at the command of the govern
mental agencies in charge of their en-
forcement. "A street cleaning budget is
therefore false index Of the character
and amount of cleaning that is being
done In the community and completely
fails to convey true conception of the
actual cleanliness that prevails in such
q community.
:, American methods of street cleaning
have long been the subject Of the most
frequent and caustic criticism, which,
however, has seldom resulted in con-
structive advice and efficient service.
A chaotic multiplicity Of experiments
have been made in recent years. but

WHY ARE FARMS ABANDONED?

Investigation Shows That Fault Lies In
size Not In Quality Of Soil.
An empty farmhouse and farm
buildings, neglected and decaying, do
not always mean that the farm itself
has been abandoned, say specialists in
the United States department Of agri-
culture, who have been investigating
the so called abandoned farms Of New
England. The title to the land Of
these abandoned farms is rarely if
ever released. Instead, the land is sold,
leased or rented to some neighboring
farmer, who, by adding it to his own
land, can work it to advantage. IN
der present conditions it is the larger
farms in the north Atlantic states
which can best survive.
Until the last few decades the farm
family could live comfortably on a
moderate sized farm with a very small
amount Of crop land, raising most Of
their food and even a part Of the raw
material for their clothing These
farms produced comparatively little
for the market and were frequently
rather small, ranging from 30 to 100
acres. Conditions. however, are now
so changed that the family buys a
larger proportion of it's necessities than
it used to. In consequence it must
have more to sell. Since much Of the
land in the regions where these "aban-
doned farms" abound has compare
lively low producing capacity, it must
be used for some extensive type Of
farming. even though the returns per
acre from such farming are small.
From 400 to 500 acres of this class Of
land are~very often required to support
adequately farm family.

YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grand
mothers recipe Of Sage Tea and

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever
her hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded Or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle of

evenly that nobody can tell it has been

Or soft brush with it and draw this

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this itnpurity. 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 the uric acid
which keeps accumulating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventually Set
Ting in the joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-
matism
AT the first tw inge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
tul IN glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac-
ton, thus Kidding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
IS made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands OF folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have pleasant
eHervescent lithia water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as we'll.

A New Method of Growing Corn.

A report recently received by the de-
partment Of agriculture described Il
method of planting corn that has been
successfully tried out in western dry
land conditions in western Kansas. BY
this method the corn is planted in rows
twice the usual distance apart while
the plants are twice as thick in the
rows. The stand is therefore the same.
but as this method seems to preserve
the moisture midway between the rows
the supply is often sufficient to main
tain the corn in a Furnishing condition
during temporary periods of drought.
while occasionally it may complete the
development Of the crop: It was found
that by this method the yields were
around thirty bushels per acre. while
adjoining fields III which the row. were
three and one half feet apart the Yields,
were only ten TO twelve bushels DIR
acre. 8
