SOY BEANS FOR FOOD AND
PAINT.

The soy bean produces hay little
higher in food value than alfalfa hay,
and the beans are nearly as high in
food value as oil meal The beans con-
tain oil that is the best substitute for
linseed oil in the manufacture Of paint
that can be produced on a large scale.
A bushel Of the beans will make gal
lon of oil and the residue is higher in
food value than either oil meal or cot
ton seed meal.
The soy bean is also legume and
so adds nitrogen to the soil. The soy
bean will do better than many crops
on poor, sandy SOIL
Trials are being made at the North
Dakota Experiment Station in produc-
ing early maturing varieties that will
be better adapted for growing in the
state than the varieties now being

dation of the character which the child acquires.
 Habits of courteous speech, for ex- ample, may be mere limitations of other peoples speech. and very different from what the child would Use if neg lected in this regard. Yet es it be- comes a habit it constitutes a distinc- tive part of the persons character It is through the little tricks of deference and politene,fs that q child learns re- speet and it is from this that he de- gelops an appreciation for the quail ties that We wish him to look up to.
 And that suggests the second ele- ment that enters into the character" that can be trained or cultivated. The comparison between young children and adults shows us that another diff ference in their characters lies in the comparative instability of the childs likes or dislikes, and Of his standards of right and wrong Beginning with nearly direct imitation of what he sees his parents do, he comes in a few years to imagine himself doing things that he hears of others doing. When he begins to read about the exploits of great heroes he projects himself into the characters of history or legend, and for the time being he lives in the character that Is upper most in his interest. In this way he absorbs from his immediate surround ings and from his reading and asso- ciates the ideals and principles that will give stability and color to his con duct-that is, his character.

A Mystery of the Sea.

Tfiefsh are again being caught in sufficient numbers to become a staple article af food in America. They are handsomely coiored fish, and very good to eat. but thirty years ago millions of them eied in mysterious way, and it was thought that they thus became extinct. h the beginning of lSsZ fsl- ermen and others made amazing fe- ports of having sailed through miies of dead and dying tilefish by the coast of the United States. The whole area covered by dead fish was reckoned V be ITO miles long and 9 miles wide. More than 1.400,000000 fish had died The actual reason WAS never proved, But from temperature tests il was as suined that sudden chill in the water accounted for the blight.

~HERE is no doubt that some chil-
 dren are much brighter than
 others. And, of course, the
 2 brighter children are easier to reach than are the others. But many bright child absorbs the teachings offered him and develops d character that is very far from satisfactory, while among the less gifted children are evolved useful and loyable spirits thaf amply compensate for the rela- lively feeble intelleets. This is all common knowledge: yet We continue te be puzzled about it without making any effort to clear up our understand ing. Or we continue to think and to ar5 as thought the development of the intellect were of itself sufficient to in sure suitable training of the character.
 The fact is that while knowledge may be converted into power it is in itself very far from being a substitute for wisdom And still more remote is if from character. We know that chil- tiren can learn knowledge; the impor- tant question for us is, can they ac- quire character?
 When we compare an infant with an older child and with an adult We may see that the lack of character on the part of the infant means that the child has not yet developed fixed habits in regard to certain things, whereas the older person has. You dc not know just what the child will do under given circumstances, while you do know what the grown-up will do. It is the mass of habits that make up the foun.

You simply dampen sponge or soft

WASHINGTON state Items.

The value of cold storage in the
handling of the fruit crop is demon
strated by a report made by the hor-
ticultural union, North Yakima, which
shows that growers who marketed
through the union this year and held
their pears in storage profited to the
extent Of $4,000 on Is carloads.
R. D. Jarboe, state grain inspector,
states that profits derived by farmers
from the sale of grain during the
present year promise to surpass those
of 1915, when the bumper crop Of the
state was harvested.
The total production for the state
this year is estimated at 41,528,061
bushels, or 80 per cent Of the produc-
ton of 1915, which was 52,335,345
bushels. This includes grain privately
handled and stock kept for Seed
1T is evident that the farmers held
back large part Of the 1915 crop
in expectation Of better prices" Mr.
Jarboe states. with receipts o.
81, 628,O61 bushels up to date for 1916
plus carry over Of 9,389,309 bushels
and 100000 bushels more represent
ed by deliveries yet to come and ship
ments through private warehouses
we can duplicate last years grail
shipments and still have surplus Of
G, O0O,O 900 bushels AS the wheat has
been selling this year at the highest
average prices known in Washington
ranging up to $1.60 at interior points
the money value of the 1916 business
surpasses anything in the previous
history Of the state"

# BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally il
You Eat Meat
Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part Of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizz1-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or II
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular Of passage or at
tended by sensation Of scalding, get
about four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be
fore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for gen
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu
traliZe the acids in urine so 1t nc
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.
