THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE. RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently. and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains. heaviness, drowsiness. irritar
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-

IN FORMING A COOPERATION
Include All Of Products Of Neighbor-
hood and Admit All Interested
Persons to Membership.

In building a cooperation in any
community it may be necessary to
take the most important product as
a cornerstone, but why not eventually
include all of the products Of that
neighborhood. and admit to member
ship any man having an interest in
those products? The strongest men
in any neighborhood can organize
creamery or a grain elevator. Why
not include both where both are
needed? If you include any man in
the neighborhood who is willing to
live up to the rules. you are no better
than the system which you are trying
to supplant.

its first stop at q little town chiefly

One May Decide for Himself BY Pc
ruslns Figures Gathered by Mis-
souri, Agricultural College.

We often accuse the tenant Of being
a soil miner, lacking in public spirit
and deficient in many ways. but there
is another side to the picture, accord
ing to o. R. Johnson of the University
of Missouri college of agriculture.
Whatever shortcomings may generally
be correctly charged to the tenant are
the fault of the system and not OF the
individual. In some ways, the tenant
seems to be more efficient than the
owner who farms beside him, II we
can take a northwestern Missouri
county as a typical example. In the
part of that county which was most
completely studied by Mr.. Johnson,
the tenant farms 1927 acres Of land
for every workman he employs, in
GLIDING himself, as compared with
only about 934 acres farmed by the
owners and part owners in the same
region. The tenant farms 20 acres
for every horse that he keeps, while
the owner farms only about twenty
five and a half acres per horse. These
facts may be interpreted in various
ways. The land owner is often an
older man, or he Is in easier circum-
stances. financially, and does less
work himself, and consequently the
average number of acres per workman
may be expected to be lower. He is
more likely to raise colts as well as
simply to work the horses; so he finds
it better to keep more horses to work
The tenant farms 70 acres with 500
worth of equipment, and the owner
farms only about flfty-five acres. show
ing a greater apparent difference in
efficiency here than elsewhere, but
there are probably more reasons to
doubt whether these figures correctly
show the real difference in efficiency.
While the tenant farms more than
one and a third times as much land
with 500 worth of equipment, 1t is
probable that he does this because he
borrows a part of the equipment OF
a neighboring land-owning farmer.
The figures on work obtained from the
horses and men employed are not
open to this criticism as such help Dor
rowed is usually repaid. Wherever
there is an exchange Of tools which
enables each to use the others prop.
erty and avoid buying for himself,
cooperation has resulted in more ef
ficient use of the funds of both, but
Mr. Johnson feels sure, from his OBJ
servations during the survey, that the
tenant in the region studied was very
badly under-equipped and would moi
have got greater results with low
er expenditure for machinery If he
had not obtained an advantage by Dor
rowing.
The crops grown must also be con
sidered in connection with these fig
ures on the number of acres farmed
per horse, and per man used. The
| average tenant had about one-thirt
of the farm in corn as compared witt
one-fifth of the owners. and one-sev
enth in wheat as compared with one
twelfth of the owners, and the own
er had almost half Of his farm in gras!
- compared with only one-fourth o
the tenants farm.

ONE MAY BEAT A DONKEY
"It 10 the viii Of God" says an East
ern Legend, Reported BY
Traveller.

In his article on his journey to Baby
lon, in Harper's, William Warfield told
a legend prevailing among the natives
by which they justify beating Of DON
keys but not horses.
I'VE stopped to change our mules.
In the roadway before the khan sat q
group of Arabs. A servant supplied
them with little cups of tea from a
rude samovar. We saluted them, and,
taking our places in the circle, we
were served in turn. Someone in the
dark doorway was humping away on
a drum. A boy came out of the khan
beating a poor lame donkey covered
with fly-infested sores. / turned to
one of my neighbors:
els it not cruel for that boy to beat
q lame ass in that way?'
'Effendim, it is the will of God!'
"'But you do not allow horses or
camels to be beaten thus
'Effendim, the donkey is not like
the horse, nor yet is he like the camel.
The reason is this: Upon a certain day
the donkeys went before Allah and
complained that they were grievously
beaten by men, so that life was a
greater burden than they could bear.
Then said Allah: Il cannot make men
cease from beating you. 1t is no sin,
neither does it cause them any great
loss. But I will help you. will give
you so thick hide that however much
you are beaten you shall not suffer"
$50 said my informant, 1t is of no
consequence II men beat an ass. So
thick a skin did Allah give him that
after he dies men use it in the making
Of drums, and the donkey continues to
be beaten after DEATH"
