JUNEAU VETS

THINK THEY HAVE AT LEAST THOUSAND OF ALL THE
 VOTES TAKEN.

JUNEAU, May I5.-The rcgistra- ton by the cnumerators appointed by the court show one thousand nine hundred and thirty-uine qualified yot- CTS on liquor question in this locality. It is admitted to be probable that some of those entitled to vote have been missed but number overlooked cannot be very large The chief i'm portance of overlooking anyone Is due to the fact that the court holds that majority of all the voters must vote one way or another or that the cleo tion will not be conclusive The cleo ton takes place on May 2l The "Wets" have set marks after the names of a full thousand of those voting as an expression of the beIies that those so marked will vote in favor of licenses and. therefore they are confident that the "Drys" will lose out. The vote is creating tremendous interest which is due in 8 great meas

SOME VARIETIES OF APPLES
Interesting Statistics Prepared by
Federal Bureau of Crop Estimates
Baldwin Is Leader.

Some very interesting statistics
have been compiled by the federal
bureau of crop estimates, showing the
percentage of different varieties of
apples grown in different states. The
figures which are published in farm
ers' bulletin GAL, need to be studied in
detail by prospective planters. Vari-
cites that are largely grown in some
sections are practically unknown in
others.
Taking the county as a whole, Bald
win is the leading variety, and COM
prises 1874 per cent of bearing trees.
Ben Davis is a close second with 1873
per cent; Northern Spy third, 81 per
cent; Winesap, 81 per cent; Rhode
Island Greening, AT per cent; Jona-
than, So per cent; Rome Beauty, 81
per cent.
In New England and the northeast
ern states Baldwin comprises more
than 80 per cent Of the bearing trees
lin New Hampshire, SIG per cent?
while Ben Davis totals less than 20
per cent On the other hand the fig
ures for these varieties are reversed
in the middle West.

QUIT MEAT If KIDNEYS
BOTHER AND USE SALTS
Take a Glass of Salts Before Break
fast If Your Back Is Hurting or
Bladder Is irritated.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells US that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and

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 times 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 phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

Germany's Dead Letter Mail.

The German post Office is to spare
the feelings, so far as possible, of the
families of soldiers who have fallen
in battle, when mail matter, nondeliv-
cradle for that reason, is returned to
the sender. Hitherto it was the GUS
tom to stamp on the letter or package
merely the word fallen" or dead"
and send it back home to shock the
relatives with this harsh brevity. Now
the military authorities have been di-
rected to use the words fallen for the
fatherland," or fallen on the field of
honor"
In still another way the authorities
are trying to soften the blow of death
notices from the front. Hitherto this
was attempted only in country dis
tricts, where the returned mail of the
fallen soldiers was handed over to the
local authorities or the clergyman,
who then undertook to break the fatal
news gently to the family. Something
like this is now to be done also in the
towns and cities. The local authori-
ties will now be asked to select some
person suitable for bearing the mes
sage of death.

BROTHERS In MISERY
COMRADESHIP OF WOUNDED ON
THE BATTLEFIELD.
Letter Written to His Fiancee by
Dying French Officer Reveals
Triumph of the Finer Feel
lngs of Humanity.

A letter. which is among the most
moving documents written since the
beginning of the war, has been re-
ceived by young American woman in
Paris. 1t was written by her fance,
French cavalry officer, as he lay
dying il Flanders, and with the letter
she received the news of his death.
After narrating how he was wound
ed in the chest during cavalry
charge and temporarily lost conscious
ness, the writer goes on:
There are two other men lying
near me and l do not think there is
much hope for them, either. One is
an officer Of Scottish regiment and
the other a private in the uhlans.
They were struck down after me
and when I came to myself I found
them bending over me, rendering first
aid. The Britisher was pouring water
down my throat from his flask, while
the German was endeavorinC to
stanch my wound with an antiseptic
preparation served out by their med
ical corps.
THE Highlander had one of his legs
shattered and the German had several
pieces of shrapne1 buried in his side.
In spite of their own sufferings they
were trying to help me, and when |
was fully conscious again the German
gave me a morphia injection and took
one himself. His medical corps had
also provided him with the injection
and the needle, together with printed
instructions for its use.
After the injection, feeling wonder
fully at ease, we spoke of the lives we
had lived before the war. We all
spoke English, and we talked of the
women we had left at home. Both the
German and the Britisher had only
been married year.
81 wondered, and I suppose the 9th
ers did, why we had fought each other
at all. | looked at the Highlander,
who was falling to sleep exhausted.
and in spite of his drawn face and
mud-stained uniform, he looked the
embodiment of freedom. Then
thought of the tricolSr of France and
all that France had done for liberty.
Then l watched the German, who
had ceased to speak. He had taken
prayer book from his knapsack and
was trying to read a service for sol
diers wounded in battle
The letter ends with reference TO
the falling light and the roar of guns.
1t was found at the dead officers siGe
by a Red Cross file and forwarded to
his fiancee.

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Caused by Coffee.

Physicians know that drugs will not
correct the evils caused by coffee and
that the only remedy is to stop drink
ing it.
An Arkansas doctor says:
Il was a coffee drinker for many
years and often thought that I could
not do without 1t, but after years of
suffering with our national malady,
dyspepsia, attributed it to the drink
ing of coffee, and after some thought,
determined to use Postum for my
morning drink.

according to directions on the pkg. and
found it just suited my taste.
AT first used it only for breakfast,
but I found myself getting so much
better, that had it at all meals. and I

Defined as "BuraIarY."

The supreme court of Washington
in State VS.. Corcoran holds that a
clerk in a store who enters with a key
furnished by his employer and takes
away goods is guilty of burglary and
larceny, since his act of entering I'M
der such circumstances constitutes a
breaking" The court said:
IF the appellant had the right to
enter the store by the use of his key
at any time in the Gay or night, that
is, had an unrestricted and unlimited
right of entrance, he could not be
guilty of the crime of burglary, even
though he carried away the goods
from the store. In such event the
crime would be larceny, and not
burglary. But IL his right to enter
was limited to the usual hours Of en-
ployment, and after hours of employ
ment he used the key for the purpose
of entering the store with intent I'M
lawfully to take articles therefrom,
be was clearly guilty of burglary"

AGE OF HEIFER AT CALVING
Such Breeds as Jersey May Be Per-
mitted to CaIve at 20 Months
Good Care Is Essential.

The ordinary heifer of the smaller
dairy breeds, such as the Jersey, may
be permitted to calve at the age Of
larger breeds, such as the Holsteins,
from twentyfour tc thirty months. No
great damage will result, however, if
the heifers caive at an earlier date
than this, and there is no reason to
fear that this young heifer will be
ruined. 1t will, of course, not be the
best thing for her to calve too young.
but with proper attention and care
full feeding, it is not at all likely that
calving at an early age will have any
appreciate effect on her usefulness.
