Milk and beer have the same in
gradients"
That's what learned doctor told
the American Chemical society.
Shocking! Even the COWS are lis
honest. Here "old Boss" has been
brewery deceitfUl thing.
The doc says:
Beer is a fermented carbOnaceOUs
infusion with or without flavoring
substances.
Milk is a hydrolzed carbOnaceoUs
infusion, also with or without"
But the doc comes down to earth
and says that fermentation and by
drOlisis are the same thing. Under
stand? All right, proceed:
Both milk and beer are the pro-
ducts of the same raw materials. The
materials in beer are alcohol, carbon.
acids, proteids, carbohydrates and
mineral ash. In milk are the same
things, and both liquids contain about
IS per cent water.
Alcohol AMI carbon acids are
found in milk in the form of fat, the
chemical change in the formation Of
milk not having gone quite so far"
But so far we have never heard of
anyone getting drunk on milk!

DRIVING THEIR OWN BUSINESS
AWAY The traction companies are
yelling their heads off for regulation
of the jitneys. What the traction
companies really want is not regula-
ton, but prohibition, of the jitneys.
In some cities business men have
been going to the front with the trac-
ton companies demands. Of course,
the traction companies figure that
they are not popular enough with the
people to be successful advocates of
their own cause, so, through banking
and other influences, they get bust
ness men to pull their chestnuts out
of the fire for them.
Here is a bit of information that
ought to be of special interest to bust
ness men. In a southern city, big
business interests drove the jitneys
off of the main street, and limited
them to side streets. The result is
that business on the side streets has
enormo sly increased, and business
on the main street has shown a cor
responding decline. One cigar stand
at the Jtney terminal has shown an
increase in business of over 100 per
cent. Real estate near the new Itney
terminal is booming.

STOP EATING MEAT IF
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
neys If Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.--Adv.

TOLL OF 1900 A DAY.

According to Doctor Demme, who
studied ten temperate families" and
ten Incorporate families" for IL years
in the same class of society, the deaths
of children under five in the latter
group were five times as many as in
the former group--25 against five.
Since the deaths below the age of five
comprise 30 per cent. of all the deaths,
1t Is evidently more than conservative
to take the comparison of adult males
given above as measure of the raw.
ages of alcohol for the total popula.
ton, says Richmond P. Hobson, in "Al.
cohol and the Government. If we
were nation OF total abstainers we
would die off at the rate of $50 per
$1,000 of the population. whereas we
are actually dying of at a rate of
1000 per $1,000. In other words, alco-
hol causes the premature death Of
440 citizens out of every $1,000 of the
population every year, which means
that alcohol kills about 1000 Ameri-
can citizens every year, about 1000 0

Arran is still the haunt of the walk

On the outskirts of Whiting bay
they rested by the wayside; then, d.
vesting themselves of jackets and
waistcoats, they crawled up the steep
incline of Dippin, and then on to Kill

their waistcoats and jackets, one OF
the men discovered that his waistcoat
had been left behind at the place
where they had rested. He reluctant

TWO SCENES.

TWO SCENES.
Excerpt from one Of Mrs. L. M. N.
Stevens Annual Addresses.)
A young society woman, a total abb
stainer, remarked that it was very
hard to make strong argument in
favor of total abstinence when there
were SO many moderate drinkers in
her circle who were successful in
business and happy in their home
life. To this we say, in your circle
you see but one section at one stage
of action. Let us shift the scene a
little.
A temperance specialist was per-
mitted to sit in the Office of a certain
sanitarium while the patients came
filing in with barred arms to take their
semi-daily treatment. When the last
one had passed out the doctor said,
In that line were representatives Of
many business enterprises, of educa-
tional institutions, of every profess
sion; men who are still possessors of
large wealth, and others who have
wasted their fortunes and are now
trying to get we'll that they may be

His Endorsement

"Oh, all right" grumbled the mes

handome Miss Pluto coquettishly,
Twill you love me when I grow old

captain CALAMITY, you may grow old

And he wondered why their friend
ship ceased SO suddenly.
Very Likely He Could.
A man walked into barber shop
and removed his hat and coat. He
was evidently in a hurry.
Can you shave me II ! do not re-
move my collar?" he asked impa-
tiently.
Eyes, sir" said the obliging barber.
The man took his seat in the chair,
and the barber prepared for business.
AS he surveyed his customer he noted
that the hair had all gone from the
top of his head and that his hirsute
adornment was limited to a fringe Of
hair above the neck. Then the bar
Der spoke, as he drew the cloth around
his customers neck and fastened 1t
at the back:

If you did not remove your hat.

to go round the course with as few

the least strokes wins the game. A

him.

came up to him, "can you count?"
Yes, sir" said the boy.
Can you add up?"
