The indoor life of winter, with lack of outdoor exercise, puts a heavy load on the kidneys. Nearly everybody suffers from rheumatism, backache, pain in sides and back, kidney and bladder ailments. A backache may not mean anything serious, but it certainly does not mean anything good.

Death of Lon Davis.

Hon. A. E. Davis died at his home in Pasadena, California, last Tuesday, at the age of 76 years.
 Lon Davis, as he was familiarly known, was born in the city of Roches- ter, N. Y., and emigrated to California when but boy. At the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted in the First Cal. volunteers. This company was afterward sent to Arizona and station ed at Fort Mohave. After the close of the war MT. Davis was mustered out of the service and at once took up the study of law, being admitted to the bar shortly afterward, For a number of years he practiced his profession in this county, and also engaged in merchan- dising and mining, When the writer first came to Mohave county he was District Attorney. In 1878 he was candidate for congress as an independ- ent, party lines not having been drawn in the state.
 In the early eighties he removed to Los Angeles county and soon thereafter was elected supervisor, which office he filled for two terms.
 Lon Davis was warm friend, lov- ing, generous father and a citizen in whom any community would feel a pride. In Mohave county he numbers his friends of other days by the score. He leaves wife and four chileren to mourn his loss.
 The funeral was held in Los Angeles yesterday, many of the old Mohaveites living there attending the funeral. May his last rest be peaceful one.
 Hugh L. Dickson, who at one time was District Attorney of this county and later District Attorney of San Bernardino county, is a candidate for the Supreme Court bench of the United States. MT. Dickson is a remarkable man. With no hands he has acquired proficiency on the typewriter, can write better hand than most business men, drives an automobile and does many other things that requires the use of one or both hands. When he lost his hands he at once began to qualify him. self for a profession where brains counted, and today he is one of the brightest lawyers practicing at the legal bars of the country. For many years he has been chief counsel of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and is now holding that position. His many friends here wish him success.

They have entered into a con tract for 300 tons of this material monthly, to be delivered in Los An geles. The gentlemen also have con- tracted a large tonnage of manganese ores from the country east of Parker, shipments to be made to San Pedro and on to New York by water. They re- port having located large deposit of the manganese ore and expect to be able to make the delivery within the next few months.

FOR WINTER EGGS
{ Is Never Advisable to Feed Heavily

Keep the Hens Scratching.

In feeding poultry, it is never advis
able to feed heavily during the early
hours Of the day. A hen gorged with
food early in the morning, will have
no incentive to exercise-wil lay
around the roosting quarters and take
on fat. In feeding for winter eggs
the appetites of the hens should never
be fully satisfied until just before
they go to roost at night.
During the winter months I always
feed the first food of the day in deep
litter, says a writer in an exchange
The scratch grain is composed of equal
parts whole wheat and cracked corn.
A mash food is never fed early in the

Strange, gulping down his drink.
He had been thinking extremely
hard. He had been thinking over his
past. At the age of thirty-five, four
years ago, he had suddenly found him
self transformed, through mixture
OF luck and ability, from a hard-work
ing clerk in the war office to manager
of the Ginever powder factory, at a
salary of fifteen thousand. The pow
der factory was in intimate touch with
the government at Washington and
was the only maker of the famous new
thermolite powder.
AS clerk, Mortimer Strange had
lived contentedly with his wife, who
was couple of years older than him
self, in their pretty cottage outside
Washington. Doris had worked hard
for him; at thirty-seven her beauty
was :. little faded. But they had cared
sincerely for each other.
Then had come the removal to
Clos, and Strange found himself in
an entirely new atmosphere. For the
first time in his life he realized that
evening clothes were an indispensable
item In a mans wardrobe. Then there
was the social life, and the country
club and, in short, he had come into
