Nothing more diScouraging than a constant baclsache. Lame when you awake Pains pierce you when you bend or lift. It's hard to work. or to rest.
 You sleep poorly and next day is the same old story.
 That backache indicates bad kid neys and calls for some good kidney remedy.

Revision Of Charter For Richmond.
A movement has been started among
the citizens Of Richmond. Va. and the
members Of the city council for q re-
vision of the present charter.
The city now has three bodies-the
board Of aldermen. the common coun-
ell and the administrative board. The
nrst acts as i legislative body. the Sec
ond outlines the city's improvements
and the third has them carried out.
There has been considerable dissatis-
faction because Of the inemciency Of
tllis form Of management Of the city'a
affairs. and the citizens are asking the
council to draw up new charter under
which Richmond may be run on more
businesslike basis. Meetings to arouse
interest In this matter have been held
81 nearly every organized body in the
city. including the chamber Of COM
merce. Business Mems club. Rotary
club. Engineers society. Architects as
sociation and a large number Of civic
organizations. The result seems likely
to be that the question will be put to q
vote Mt the coming fall election.

Scout Camp In Oklahoma.

Arrangements are about completed
for the establishment of camp for the
Boy Scouts of America in the foothills
of the Ozarks. in Oklahoma. Forty
five acres of land have been given for
the purposes Of the scouts. and 1t Is
planned to put in equipment to accom-
modate about 400 boys. The estimates
call for an expenditure Of about ST.
600. The camp will be open for pc
riod Of two weeks to boy scouts from
outside Of the state. 1t is planned to
fill the camp with boys from Musko-

Horsepower Of a Rainfall.

Few people realize the energy in a
fall Of rain. On the evening Of Oct. 8.
1914, there fell at Kansas City, Mo-, In
two hours 1.79 inches Of rain. Assum-
ing that this rain covered an area four
miles square. or sixteen square miles.
and that 1t fell from an altitude of
1000 feet. the energy represented was
about 100000 horsepower hours.
Were this converted into electrical en-.
ergy without the usual losses it would
amount to nearly 100000 kilowatt
hours. At 10 cents Per kilowatt hour
this energy would cost 347O.OOO.-

p.f,ectioo Auto Headlights.

The only light that is useful in auto
mobile driving at night is that which is
thrown on the roadway. This effect
may be obtained by painting the lower
segment Of the conical reflector and
letting the rays that strike the upper
part and are directed downward do all
the lighting, says Automobile Dealer.
A simple method Of avoiding the OBJ
jectionable glare is to direct the light
downward by bending the lamp sup
ports so that the principal rays will
strike the roadway about fifty feet
ahead of the car.

Hint to Boy Swimmers.

Just as you must not seize any one
about the neck, so when you go to the
assistance Of any one in the water you
must make certain that he does not
seize you. Approach him from behind
If possible, so that there is no chance
of this. Your task will be much easier
If the person you are trying to rescue
will help you. If you can persuade
him to turn upon his back you will be
able to push him to shore without diff
ficulty; If you must carry him 1t will
be harder. Remember that, at all
events. you must keep out of his grasp
If he is struggling madly in the water.
If he does seize you you must break
his grip at any cost. as neither Of you
will be able to swim IL he puts his
arms about you.

Hints For Campers.


When boy scouts go to camp they
should be sure to go prepared. Don't
go of half equipped and then suffer
for it through the whole outing.
In the enthusiasm Of departure in
the heat Of the day the boy scout is
prone to pay little heed to warm clothes
and bedding. 1t can get mighty cold
at night in the middle of the season.
Plenty Of blankets sure. A sweater
probably will prove comfortable.
Don't forget cake Of soap-and on
second thought take another. The gen.
erous use Of soap has seldom injured
any boys hands, and often it will help
lot to prevent ivy poisoning and
nettle rash.
Then there are the can opener, the
salt and towels and really water
tight matchbox, all items that are like
ly to be overlooked. 1t is good thing
to inventory the tackle box before
starting off fishing too.

When a cylinder fails to hold COM
preston it is not always easy to tell
whether leakage is taking place past
the valves or past the piston rings,
says the Automobile Dealer. IL the
breather, or crank case compression re-
lease pipe, is examined when the en-
gine is pulled over compression when
hot it will be found that at each COM
preston stroke oily gas will be blown
out of the breather pipe if the leak is
past the piston. 1t is obviously of no
use making this test when the engine

Seat all the players save three in a

each player and whispers in his ear
some sentence descriptive of where he
is supposed to be, the second player fol-
lows with sentence telling what he is
supposed to be doing and the third tells
him whom he is supposed to be with.
The first of the three then calls the
name of some player and that player
must give in one long sentence the
three given him. If he laughs he pays
a forfeit. As the three leaders are
each ignorant of what the other gives
the results are apt to be ludicrous.

What It Means To Be a Jew.

In the June American Magazine a Jew writes highly interesting article entitled, What It Means to Be Jew" He says that there is today, in this country, a stronger antagonism to Jews socially and commercially than at any time within his recollection, covering easily the last two decades. He relates many personal experiences one of which is reproduced as follows from the article:
 "One evening, while being enter tained at the home of people who claim to be our sincere friends, the subject of golf was preached. There were no links within this particular city except those at the Country Club. There were about ten of the most prominent members of the leading clubs present, with all of whom l was on terms of intimacy. One said to me: You, MT. Weiss, were the first man in this city who ever played golf and 1 agreed with him. Said he, emphatically, It is shame that you can't play now! 1 replied, I am very glad you introduced that sub ject. Now let me tell all of you some thing Do you know why can't play golf? You all profess sincere friend ship and admiration for us. You break bread at my table and invite me to do the same at yours; you say you like us and that we are most desir- able in every way and want us to join your club; but not one of you have had the manhood or moral courage to precipitate the fight Are you then as sincere as you profess?'
 "Was there any answer to the sug gestion? None that was audible then or since."

! COOPERATION IN ARKAN-

Washington, D. C., June 14-The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station will cooperate this season with the United States Department of Ag- ricultural in the soil survey of Yell County which was begun last year One man from the Station and one man from the Federal Department will take part in the work. Under the cooperatiove arrangement adopted for these soil surveys, each pays the sal aries and expenses of its own men while the Federal Government bears the expense of inspecting the work and publishing the report for each county.
 This report will be accompanied by a large map showing in colors the To- cation of the various kinds of soils with reference to roads, schools, churches, watercourses and other fea- lures of the county. The nature of the soils, their adaptability for var ious crops and suggestions for the most advantageous use of fertilizers will also be discussed in detail, toge- ther with full information on existing agricultural conditions. Severa months will be required to prepare the report and map after the survey has been completed.

GAS MAIN BROKEN.
 PRESSURE VERY LOW
From Arkansas Gazette.

From Arkansas Gazette.
 Gas will last until about noon today. according to officials of the Arkansas Natural Gas Company, but for another week and possibly two weeks there after, Little Rock residents will have to resort to the temporary cooking ar engagements which have been in use so much in the last month. Twenty pounds pressure was registered at the receiving station last night.
 From six to eight feet of water cov- CTS the pipe at the point where it is broken near Garland City, according to Il. L. Snyder, general superinten- dent of the Arkansas Natural Gas Company. The water in Red River is practically at standstill, but sev- eral days must elapse before the water will recede sufficiently to permit re- pairs.
 The third break was caused by the immense weight of water upon it. MT. Snyder, who just returned yesterday from Garland City, said there apears to be two river channels below the break in the levee. This break is about quarter of mile wide and the water rushing through it causes cur rent in the overflow almost as swift as that in the river.
 The pipe line is broken in the over flowed section, three miles north of the Red river crossing, and not in Red river itself, as many believe. Be- cause of the rapid rise in the river, fol- lowing the previous flood, only two days were allowed in which to make the repairs. The line was tied with cables to resist the current and weighted down as much as possible, but because of the short time allowed, could not be made strong enough to hold.
