Eoruot an Essential.

Milton Balzac was a struggling
author. OF course he was starving
ard living in bare garnet. No self
respecting authorsever struggled with
out a bare garnet.
But now the end was at hand. He
had had no food for two days. and his
masterpiece had been returned from
the forty nth publisher.
SO at midnight he carefully stopped
up every crevice in window and door,
turned on the gas and lay down on
his plank bed to die.
But in the morning-su an irony
of fate--there arrived letter from

MECHANIC TRAINING
INCREASE IN RANCE

PARIS, May 1.-THE movement in
favor of mechanical training in
France is assuming large proportions.
Wherever trials have been made with
traction ploughs they have been con-
elusive and cooperative societies of
farmers have been formed to put them
into use. A gerat many have been
delivered during he past few months
and a great many more have been
ordered
The General Agricultural society is
making census of different agricul-
tural regions to determine in what
localities it is possible to secure large
tracts of land which the society will
undertake to plough in the autumn,
also to ascertain in what localities
sufficient acreage of harvest can be
lcCmbined to justify the sending of
traction harvestors. The machines
that the society sends for this work
il is intended to leave in the hands of
the farmers individually or organized
in cooperative societies. The prospect
for the development of this kind of
farming is such that it is proposed to
organize a school for the training of
farm traction drives. Thus far all the
machines come from the United
States. French industry will probably
be unable to meet any considerable
part of the demand for few years to
come.

DRINK HOT WATER
IF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMPLEXION
says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning 70 flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
lions and poisonous toxins before it is
abshorbed into the blood. Just as
coal, when it burns, leaves behind a
certain amount of incombustible ma
terial in the form of ashes, so the
food and drink taken each day leave
in the alimentary organs a certain
amount of indigestible material, which
if not eliminated, form toxins and
pcisons which are then sucked into
the blood through the very ducts
which are intended to suck in only
rourishment to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow OF
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clear and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it which is harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
tract, before putting more food into
the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins
liver spots, pimples or pallid com
pleXion, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches. bilious spells, acid stom-
ach or constipation should begin this
phosphated hot water drinking and
are assured of very pronounced re-
suits in one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, os hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider
that internal sanitation is vastly more
important than outside cleanliness,
because the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

TRADE AT HOME.

The Columbus Ledger is on decl
with few lines of doggerel that are
both pertinent and timely. They
read:
When you want to help your town,
Buy at home!
When you want clothes, shoes OF
gown,
Buy at home!
Ne'er mind what tbs you need,
Canned goods, collars, chicken feed;
Frame this phrase up for your creed:
Buy at home!
Other folks may buy by mail,
You buy at home
Help the home store to sale,
Buy at home

Means dollar less to pay
Which is owed right here today,

Are you for your town or not?

Home store qualities are true,
Home store merchants work for YOU,
This much then you ought to do:

chant, but there is always a small
contingent in every community that
thlnk things purchased away from

PLANT LEGUMES.

In this day of scientific agriculture
and diversified farming too much at
tention cannot be paid to the growing
of Iegumes, such as the soy bean, vel
vet bean and the old fashioned COW
pea. The power of these plants to
gather nitrogen from the air and the
very large amount of organic matter
they furnish make them very valuable
as enrichers of the soil, and especial
ly are they recommended for heavy
soils, to say nothing as to their value
as feedstuffs.
Experts tell us that the soy bean is
by far the more valuable and has
greater possibilities as summer le-
gdme. The soy bean makes splendid
hay, said to be richer than alfalfa, and
just as palatable when properly cur
ed. They may be planted between
corn and or sown with other legumes
broadcast. Another good way to plant
them is in rows on rich land so they
can be cultivated For hogs, cows,
sheep, horses and mules, soy beans
make fine feed, as hay or ground and
mixed with other feeds. Try soy
beans.

SALTS fine FOR
ACHING kidneys
We Eat Too Much eMat, Which Clogs
Kidneys, Then Back Hurts and
and Bladder BOthers You,

Most folks forget that the kidneys
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally
else we have backache and dull mis-
cry in the kidneys region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twings, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts Of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter beofre breakfast for a 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 is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious com
plications
A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

full things it was going to 90 LOT lhe
business men of the country. And tho
White House statisticians put down a
