COUNTY
ORGANIZATION MEETS

Before large and enthusiastic au-
dience, c. E. Brown, chicken expert
of the Crookston Experimental sta
tion, gave an address last evening at
the Junior high school assembly hall
on "Hatching and Raising Young
Chickens A full attendance of the
Beltrami County Poultry association
and of the agricultural classes of the
high school, in addition to numerous
other enthusiasts formed Mr.. Browns
audience.
Begins With Coop.
After an introduction by John
Harris, president of the poultry as
sociation, in which he stated that
Mr.. Brown having judged at the last
two fairs and the December poultry
show, hardly needed an introduction
to his audience, Mr.. Brown began his
address with the construction of a
chicken coop. He later spoke of the
Matching, brooding, feeding and ex-
ercise of chickens.
Through hand sketched illustra-
tions, he enumerated the various
points essential to the chickens COM
fort, in the construction of the chick
en- coop. The use of straw thrown
loosely on the rafters to absorb the
moisture and aid in ventilation was
his most Importance suggestion of
house construction.
Must Be Comfortable.
. In speaking of the points of advan-
tage in building coops he cited the
fact that heat and comfort was neces-
sary to make good egg records dur
ing winter months. "There are sew
eral things that are necessary to
make good egg records in WINTER"
said Mr.. Brown. "The chickens
must be comfortable, they must be
good laying breeds and must be
Matched in the early spring.
eff a chicken is Matched after Ap-
ril it is an absolute impossibility for
it to lay. A chicken for good lay
ing purposes should be matured by
August, although such breeds as Min
orcas, Leghorns and such breeds do
not need as much help and nourish-
ment, ranging, etc., as others.
Too Much Food.
'There is one point on which many
chicken raisers make great mis-
take A chicken can be given the
right amount of food and still be
given too much, or it can be given
the right amount of food and not be
given enough. This is determined
by the amount of work or scratching
must be done to get it's feed. It is
always we'll to have hay, sand, straw
or excelsior on the floor of the coop
in which the chicken must scratch
to get it's food.
Feed Milk.
'In feeding a goodly amount. of
~limmed milk is of great advantage,
still if this cannot be obtained rab-
bit, fish or some such meat is a good
substitution. However, it is not of
good principals to feed them musk
rat or skunk, as such flesh might fla
vor the eggs. Grain such as wheat
screenings, oats, barley, etc. ARE al
so very essential in the feeding. If
only one grain can be secured add
plants such as cabbage, carrots, beets,
boiled potatoes or the like for green
feed.

ELECTEDSECRETARY
OF COMMERCIAL CLUB
Board of Directors Choose Present
Secretary of Merchants
Association.
COMMITTEE TO SECURE
SOCIAL MEMBERSHIPS
Rooms to Be Remodeled; Lumber
Company Donates Magazine
Rack.

E. M. Sathre was elected secretary
Of the Bemidji Commercial club at a
meeting of the board of directors held
Thursday evening at the Commercial
club rooms. Mr. Sathre was hired
for period of two months at a SAL
ary of $25 per month and a commis-
sion of 20 per cent on all new busi-
ness secured during that period
Mr.. Sathre is also secretary of the
Bemidji Merchants association.
Social Members.
The directors voted to create a So
cial membership to the club for the
payment of dues at one dollar a
month, the initiation fee to be re-
bated to such memberships. The So
cial member will enjoy all privileges
of the club, but will not participate
in the equity of the clubs property.
A committee consisting of G.. w.
Harnwell, Attorney NJ. j. Brown, A.
M. Bagley and E. M. Sathre will can
vass the membership of the club and
curing both active and social men,
berships. Inasmuch as the club in
structed the board to raise the dues
to 50 a month, it is believed that
the securing of social memberships
will be an easy matter. Many of the
business and professional men have
already agreed to take additional
memberships, provided the dues re-
main at 81 per month.
Committee to Canvass.
Practically all members would be
willing to pay the two-dollar fee if
it meant the life of the club, and be-
cause it is necessary to increase the
revenue, the majority have con-
cluded that they would rather take
additional social memberships at 81
than to pay the So for single mem
bership. The committee will COM
mence work at once. A fifteen min
utes' canvass by one of the members
Thursday resulted in securing twen-
ty-seven social memberships. The
aim of the committee is to secure
membership of not less than three
hundred.
Rooms Improved.
Work of rearranging the club
rooms and adding new features will
be taken up at once. The tables will
be repaired, buffet modernized and
other entertainment provided. The
club will meet regularly every first
and third Tuesday evening of the
month.
A committee on committees con-
sisting of H. E. Reynolds, M. J..
Brown, Charles Cominsky, George T.
Baker and w. z. Robinson was ap-
pointed who will complete the work
during the next week and report at
special meeting of the board
A new magazine rack has been in
stalled, which is the gift of the St..
Hilaire Retail Lumber company, and
which can be used to splendid ad-
vantage in the club rooms

to demonstrate that just as soap and
hot water cleanses, sweetens and

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu.
tralize Irritating Acids-Splendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting UP an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
It, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is source Of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.--Adv.

It comes in salve form and is APP
