JOHNNY WAS RIGHT

This is how Johnny wrote his compo-
sition in the public school class:
"The COW is a good animal. She has
two horns and two eyes and gives milk,
which is good to drink. She has four
legs and eats grass and hay. Some of
them are red, and they have long
tails.'
And this is how the teacher says he
ought to have written it:
"The female of the bovine genus is
a beneficent mammal This ruminant
quadruped is possessed of corneous pro-
tuberances, projecting from the occiput.
Her vision is binocular and she yields
an edible and nutritious lacteal exuda-
tion. She is quadrupedal and herbiv'
orous, assimilating her food in both the
succulent and exiccated states. Some
of them automatically correspond to the
seventh color of the spectrum, and they
are endowed with caudal appendanges
of exaggerated longitudinality. ~

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Glenwood Springs People Know
How to Save 1t.

Many Glenwood Springs people take
their lives in their own hands by me-
glecting the kidneys when they know
these organs need help. Weak kidneys
are responsible for vast amount of
suffering and i'll health, but there is no
need to suffer nor to remain in danger.
Use Doan's Kidney Pills-a remedy
that has helped thousands of kidney
sufferers.
The following statement leaves no
ground for doubt.
Mrs. Michael Keller, 531 Pitkin Ave.
Grand Junction, Colo, says: &c. A mis-
step, little jar or a sudden turn,
caused me to suffer acutely from pain
across the small of my back and in my
hips. If took cold, it settled on my
kidneys and made me great deal
worse. was told that the trouble was
caused by weak kidneys and believe
it was due to the impure drinking
water here. Less than one box of
Doan's Kidney Pills drove away the
pains, and I haven't suffered since"

we English people is in patriotism. l
was there three weeks in January and
February and every man, woman and
child is willing, not only to give their
life for their country, but they are
willing to give their fortunes, their
ease, their comfort, their all, for the
Fatherland. The male population is
doing all it can to go to the front while
poor England has much trouble to
"drum up" volunteers. We of the
English race do not know the meaning
of the word "partiotism when COM
pared to the Germans. France, I think,
is really patriotic, but Italy, England
and Russia, I fear, are sadly lacking
| in this Characteristic and their soldiers
are only in the armies because they
can't help themselves. 1t looks back
ward to say volunteers have less en-
thusiasm than conscripts, but such is
the case, however.
"I hope our country will wake up
and put itself in shape so at least we
can make it hard for an enemy to ia
wade us and if Wilson can get the sup
port of his party it will be done, and [
hope well done. We are joke in Eu-
rope from military standpoint and
Switzerland really thinks they can
whip us. 1t is not good for foreign
nations to get to thinking this way as
we have much wealth which they want
and as no nation is honest (some indi-
viduals are) some of them may get the
notion to "tap our till" unless we put
something visible in front of it as
scare-crow. Anyway most boys of
eighteen to twenty years old would be

would be knocking around town as
most of them now do. A well organ

no doubt will offer opportunities to
young men to continue their studies
while in the the camps and if so the
two years would be well spent by boys
of eighteen to twenty years of age and
teach them discipline and love of
country. We have not had to pay
enough for the privilege of being citi-
zens of the United States and most Of
us think very little of something which
has cost nothing, so l think slight toll
from us all of money or time would
make us thing more of our country. -

A SLAM ON FATHER

Gertrude was home for the Christ
mas holidays, and in her honor the old
folks were holding reception. And
in their honor Gertie brought forth her
new garments.
Picking up beautiful creation, she
held it up before the admiring crowd
and said, "Isn't this perfectly scrump-
tuous? Just think, all this silk came
from the little Insignificant worm.'
Her hard-working father looked a
moment, his brow furrowed.

PATRIOTISM UNKNOWN
EXCEPT IN GERMANY

The Grand Junction Sentinel, under
the above head, prints the following
letter from southern traveller concern.
ing the situation as he sees it in the
European war zone, after visit to
that sectiin:
Ellis G. Slack has just received
through his father and mother letter
written few weeks ago by A. B..
Slack, wealthy cotton dealer of Hous-
ton, Texas, who had at that time just
returned from a trip through all the
belligerent nations of Europe. His
comment on war conditions and the way
they will affect the United States are
interesting:
GAS it looks to me, Germany can
never be invaded and about all the
allies can hope to do against them is
to drive them back to their own FROM
tier and there make compromise peace.
On the other hand if the allies do not
wake up and develop more ''punch' -
Judu lHtN HaNG suOWI W uobS,
will whip them all and take England IS
place, and, hope, do better than Eng
land ever has as the dominating world
power.
"From self interest standpoint, |
think it would be better for the United
States for Germany to win, regardless
of how our personal sympathy may be,
as if this happens they will get so much
territory from England that, as / see it,
they will be kept busy many years de-
veloping it and will not be menace
to our Monroe Doctrine in South Amer
lea. On the other hand, if the allies
win, / have no fear from any of the
ition of Japan would be so muchsibl
European nations involved, but the
position of Japan would be so much
strengthened that I fear our war to be,
with them, would be showed up in date
many years.
"Japan, you know, is small and has
population of 70,0O0,000 of active,
smart, Industrious people who are really
suffering for chance to expand and
Mexico and South America sure look
good to a Jap.
"My personal sympathy, of course,
is with England and France, but be-
cause of this I think my judgment as
to what would follow is all the better.
Those countries are gloomy places TO
be in today for everyone you meet has
brother, father, or son at the front
and a report of their deaths may como
any minute.
"I have many persona friends in all
the armies except Russian and several
of the boys have already been killed
or hurt and of course more will 60 thu

"German writers may be correct
when they say war is necessary.
hope not, but anyway hope and be.
lieve Europe will get enough of this war
to keep them from "going soft" for
some years to come. Personally
want to ego soft.''
"Our business is badly hurt by the
war as France, Germany and Austria
are all big users Of cotton and they
cannot buy at present so we are having
trouble to do business and make cx'
penses. If it goes on three years more
we southerners will all be broke. You

WHAT Is A SIKH.

One of the unfamiliar words that
crops UP in the European news in these
war times is the word sikh" Nearly
every one has learned to pronounce it
seek" and not sick" but the exact
meaning is being diligently looked up
in many a town library.
Nowhere can be found better de-
scription of the Sikhs, Gourkhas, So
wars and the various other soldiers
from India who have shown their loy-
atty to the British Empire by coming
to Europe to fight alongside of the
British and French than the one in
The London Times History of the
War" Several of the large pages Of
this work are devoted to explaining
the difference, racial and social bee
tween these dark-skinned soldiers
Among the hundreds of illustrations
in this elaborate current history of the
war that the London Times is produc-
ing. are pictures of these native Indian
soldiers, who are celebrated as among
the greatest fighting units in the world.
1t was in order to visit these faithful
Indian soldiers that Lord Roberts.
"Bobs." in the eighty-third year of his
age. journeyed recently 10 France.
where he died from an attack of ppeu-
monia within hearing of the roaring
cannon and rifles. As Kipling says in
his latest poem:
"He passed to the very sound of the
guns.
But before his eve grew dim
He had seen the faces of the sons :
whose sires had served with him"

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 a 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
aclI 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 impurity. 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 accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles, caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL acton, thus riddng 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 i9 uSed with excellent results by
thousands OF folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here YOU have a pleas
ant. eneryescent lithia-water drink
which helps overcome uric acid and Is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.-
