Fire AVERAGES.

Following Is an extract from an ar
ticle In Farm and Fireside on prevent
ing and fighting fires:
Fires In our homes are 30 frequent
that the insurance companies tell US
that we have about one chance In sixty
Of being burnt out some time In the
course Of a lifetime. But In the same
breath they tell rs that more than half
the fires could be prevented II people
understood the commonest causes Of
them and knew Just what to do when q
fire starts Smokers are responsible for
thousands Of fires. and rats and mice
cause many others by nibbling at sui
phur tipped matches Fires which start
IN closets are often caused By matches
being left In clothes or by oily cloths
which have been stored away. Many
Of the floor polishing mixtures contain
highly explosive oils, and spontaneous
combustion may start from q nest Of
these cleaning cloths II placed In q
closet near tine chimney.

The Stronger Hand.

II you are right handed, then the
right hand Is stronger than the left. II
you are left handed the left hand will
be stronger. II you are truly ambIdex-
trous the strength Of both hands viii
be equal The advantage OF one hand
over the other Is due to the greater ex-
ercise 1t may receive. All the muscles
Of our arms and legs are developed by
exercise, and their respective strength
win be in accordance with their use
That the right hand is stronger than
the left can be proved by discontinue
ing the use Of the right arm for sew
eral weeks by tying 1t to the side Of
your body. When you release the arm
you win find that much Of its strength
IS gone and that now the left hand
is stronger. This applies to a right
handed person, and the test would
work the other way with left handed
person. This goes to show that the
strength OF hands and arms is uncon-
sciously affected by the amount Of IA
tonal exercise.-Exchange.

Our Mineral Wealth.

The United States Is not only the
worlds greatest producer OF mineral
wealth, but 1t possesses by far the
greatest known reserve OF any nation
in most Of the important minerals.
This is one Of the things that has
made rs great and which is destined
to make us far greater as measured by
world standards. In some instances,
such as coal and oil and phosphate
rock and radium ore, the United States
possesses more than all the other
known deposits OF the world, and the
only essential minerals Of the first rank
of which the United States has no
known supply at all commensurate
with its needs are nitrates, potash
salts, tin, nickel and platinum. But as
It stands today no other nation In the
world so nearly approaches absolute
independence In respect to mineral re-
sources, Notwithstanding the vast mag
nitude Of our home consumption.-Re-

pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue

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 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 aclds of grapes aad 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.

Hughes of West Virginia the other
evening when reference at a dinner
was made to the misunderstanding
of married life. He said that he was

Smith on calling at his sons home
found his daughter-in-law in tears, and
on asking why was told the usual
story.

Smith some time later. why are you
