The short courses to be given this winter by the College of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas are ar ranged in what is believed to be bet ter way than anything that has here tofore been attempted in the state. First comes farmers week, which opens January and continues five days. The subject matter will be both technical and practical. There will also be lectures by prominent men on subjects not purely agricultural. but of vital interest to men engaged in agricultural pursuits.
 During the same week the depart ment of home economies will give spe- cial lectures and demonstrations in cooking, sewing, home sanitation, home decoration, etc. for farmers wives.
 The following week, commencing January 8, begins the annual short course. The short course this year lasts four weeks, and while it is con neeted whole yet it is made up of var rious parts which are in themselves units. Thus, from January to Jan uary 20 there will be work In cotton chasing and cotton production This work will be thorough and complete. At the same time there will be courses in field crops, soils, fertilizers, crop in- sect enemies and diseases, etc.
 From January 22 to January 27 the time will be given over to work in live stock and dairy farming
 The week beginning January 29 will be devoted to fruit production, in- cluding pruning, spraying, fertilizing, picking, grading, marketing, etc.
 Thus there are seven different units in the farmers short course, and these units are arranged to follow one an- other in such order that persons en- gagged in the different kinds of farming can usually secure the courses they wish in succession, without having to stay the entire time of the short course if they do not so desire.
 Throughout the length of the short course the entire resources of the Col lege of Agriculture and Agricultural Experiment Station will be available for the use of short course students. The entire corps of college and station specialists will take part in the teach ing and the demonstrations, with the exception of few men who will dur ing the greater part of the time be engaged in the campaign for better farming which will be carried on from January to the end of the month by the agricultural extension division in cooperation with many other organt- zations and individuals in all parts of the state that are interested in safe and profitable farming.

 The bungalow has done great deal to promote home construction during recent years in this country. The ap- peal of a neat little bungalow is strong to the man who has always wanted a home of his own, but who has allowed himself to get into the habit of rent ing, more for the reason that he has feared the cost than for any other. A low type would be built if every man who has a firm desire for a home would go to an architect or contractor and get the information which will en- able him to figure the proposition out in logical manner.
 The cost of a cozy little bungalow Is not great and the comfort and sat isfaction derived from it more than pay for the inconvenience of slight increase in interest over what would be paid In rent, If the funds are not available to pay the entire amount at the time of construction. Almost any man can enjoy himself in keeping up

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for a While If Your
Bladder Is Troubling You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
headache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours. tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged TO seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for 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 has been used
for generations to clea and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is life saver for regular
meat eaters. II Is inexpensive. can
not injure and makes delightful, ef-
feryescent Whitewater drink.--Adv.

portance for fertilization on the At
lantic coast, and commanding, as II
does the entrance to the Hampton
! Roads which in times Of Var woulc
be a naval base, it is included in al
calculations of naval coast defenses
That "Block Island" is regarded
highly also as a strategic point is
shown by the Providence Journal
which says:
According to Rear Admiral Grant
instructing the House Naval Commit
tee, in the matter of submarine de-
tense, Block Island is the natura
Helgoland of the Atlantic Coast The
comparison, in strategical geography
is manifestly close, though Germanys
Helgoland is a much smaller rock
than our, so leng useless for mill
tary purposes.
"Should naval base be created IN
Newport harbor, such as the Ger
mans have at Welhelmshaven, and
the British at Portsmouth, Block Is
land could be made an impregnable
outpost. With submarines bases at
New London-an arrangement a.
ready being developed-the island
would be stepping-stone and adj
varced station enabling them the
more widely to extend their opera
tions out on the ocean.
"Narrow waters have become i'm
mensely helpful for coast defense,
with the development of mines and
submarines, as has been demonstrat-
cd at the Dardanelles and in the Bal
tic, the Strait of Dover, the Eng
lish Channel and the Irish Sea. Great
Britain and France are exposed for
the greater part of their coasts, but
Germany, with her Baltic front Sc
cured by the tortuous Scandinavian
entrance ways, has buffer for her
shore line on the expansive North
Sea, staked out by the Island Of Hell
goland, So miles distant"
