WHY "ANURIC"

Sufferers from Backsrhs rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will

your kidneys get sluggish and clog,

UNCLE SAM SHOWS DELAWARE
FARMERS HOW TO GROW RICH

DOVER, Del, Feb. 14.-During the
spring of 1915 farm analysis records
were taken of fifty-fve Delaware farms,
principally fruit growing lands, by the
United States Department of Agicul-
ture and the Agricultural Department Of
Delaware College, cooperating for the
purpose of assisting farmers to reor-
ganize their farms 10 make them pro-
duce larger labor incomes and to demon
strate the Importance of certain factors
governing the profits of farming
The active work was done upon fifty
five farms in Kent county, in the vicinity
of Camden, by L. $. Agricultural County
Agents Cooch. of New Castle county;
Pence, of Kent county. and Pelton, of
Sussex county, assisted by IL. +. keyes
and +. A. Brown, farm management
demonstrators. a complete report of
this analysis has been compiled and sub
mitted to the government department of
agriculture, and Delaware College, and
the result will also be sent to the own
ers of the farms that were analyzed.
Il is believed that the figures will
prove of great value not only to these
farmers but others throughout the coun-
fruit growing as a business and whose
conditions are similar TO the ones ana
lyzed.
1t is pointed out that the season of
1914, the year that is taken for the
basis of the figures contained in the re-

these conditions affected the labor in.

interesting as it shows the farm organi
zation of this area has made a labor in
come despite the unfavorablc seasonsblC
conditions.
The report, as compiled shows among
other things the following statistics de
rived from the analysis of the farms:
The business of fruit growing in thi,

was made for an increased inventory fo

of the trees nearing profitable bearing
because no one is able TO say how mucl

the kind of fruit, the variety and thl
care and attention gwen, and in somi
neglected orchards there will be de
creased instead of an increased invcn
tory. For the above and other reason
it viii be necessary TO get records in thi

Farm Profits.
The profits of a farm may best be-
measured by what the operator gets for
his Own labor, or his labor income -
This is obtained by taking the total eN
penses from the total receipts and from
this sum subtracting the interest on the
capital invested. Since the money in
vested i'm the farm business would easily
bring 5eo if invested elsewhere it is only
fair, from a business point of view, TO
charge the farm SO interest on the in
vested capital What remains is what
the farm actually pays the farmer for
his labor and his ability as a manager.
Many farms do not return SO net on
the capital invested and the operators of
such farms received minus labor incomes.
I'm case of a large Investment of capital
it is possible for a farmer TO live with a
very small labor income as the interest
on his investment provides enough for
him and his family. He has in addition
his house rent free and such meat, milk,
butter. eggs and farm produce as the
family consumes This, according to
government figures, averages 500 for each
adult in the family.

Factors Governing Farm Profits.
II has been found by studying large
number of farm records in all parts of
the county that there are three factors
very largely governing farm profits.
These are factors are: Size of Business; ;
Quality Of Business, and Diversity Of
Business.
Size of Business
The size of business may be measured

TIPPING is ANCIENT HABIT
Custom Dates Back to 1885 and Was
Subject of Much Criticism Even
at That Early Time.

If the efforts that are now being
made by the London Hairdressers' as
ISOLATION for the abolition Of tipping
meet with success, there will be much
jubilation among the many long-suffer-
ing victims of the system, and no doubt
an equal amount of regret among those
who have profited by its continuance,
says the Dundee Advertiser.
The habit of giving gratuities would
appear to be very old one, for as far
back as 1885 it prevailed. At that date
we find worthy man bitterly COM
planning of the tips expected by all
and sundry when putting up horse
at an inn. Over and above the ordi-
nary bill he must give a shilling to
the waiter, to the chambermaid six
pence, to the hostler sixpence, and six
pence to the bootjack, making two
shillings and sixpence In all. The next
morning at breakfast it was necessary
to give sixpence between the waiter
and the hostler. That was for one
nights stay only. But If the traveller
merely put up for refreshment, be-
sides paying boy to mind the horses,
the hostler expected threepence, at din
ner the waiter looked for sixpence and
the hostler again made threepence; at
tea, waiter and hostler shared sixpence.
Thus the oldtime traveller gave away
two shillings and sixpence a day In
tips, which, added to the two shillings
and sixpence overnight, made total
Of five shillings day.

Freedom of Press In India.

In India no newspaper can be pub
lished and no press can be established
unless it's proprietor or publisher gives
bonds in the sum of 5000 rupees as a
guarantee of loyalty to the British gov
eminent. Therefore no paper can pro-
mulgate the true aspects Of British
rule in India, or publish war news in
any way contrary to the interests Of
the British government; otherwise the
bonds and press will be confscated,
the paper will be suppressed and the
editor will be sent to jail. Even WELL
known persons of literary and scien-
tific attainments, not connected with
the press, have been prosecuted for
mere sympathy with midas cause. The
private house of the world-famed sc1en-
fist, Prof. ]. C. Bose, was searched by

Important Russian successes against
the Austro-Germans, in which 400 Of
ficers and 10000 men were captured,
are announced by Petroprad. Fifty
guns were taken. Brody, the key to
the defence of Lemberg is in Russiaa
hands, and the Teutons have been
driven back along the whole front in
this section. Another victory Is re-
ported near Stanislau, south of the
Dniester, while the additional an.
nouncement is made that Brzezany,
south of Tarnopol, has fallen.
An army Of 10000 Turks is report.
ed to have reached Hungary, to aid
Austria fight against the Russians.
On the Somme front in France the
British have advanced in the vicinity
of Pozieres and High wood and have
repulsed German efforts to recapture
Delville wood. In the fighting for the
latter position two to three regiments
of German troops apparently were an
initiated, says the London war office
statement.
