Natura AlMaya ACTIVE.

It is known that every particle OF
the earth is in state Of constant &C
tivity. Nature abhors stagnstion a.
It abhors vacuum. Even the stag.
nant, smelly pool of water generates
myriad forms of life. Every particle
Of what we call stone has q chem
istry that is ever changing form. No
matter how infinitesimal the infinite
atoms of the combined elements Of
our sphere not one is in the same
place today that 1t knew yesterday
Every hour, every moment experiences
change.

PREPAREDNESS.

Some one remarked recently thai
The Democrat was the only paper
n tbe United States that had not
t,d an article on Preparedness, -
n to be in style, and because we
believe that if our plan was fol-
lowed the Uuited States would be
inpreguab'e, we submit the fol-
loving: If the United States would
build very large feet of subma-
ins and great number of aero
planes, the latter to scout for the
Enemy ships and the former to sink
them before they could land, We
HouId be safe from any or all
foreign country or countries. Not
atransport could be brought Into
"a Amef.Sai port-the enemy be-
Ing drowned before landing. This
being true, we would not mead a
large army or navy and the money
savedhy not building dredgnaughts
battleshlps, and in ammunition for
SAME, would build as many air sh ps
aud submarines as we would nee |.
Besides, We would not lose a .aige
humber Of soldiers in war and the
people living inland would hardly
Know there was a war in progress.
We would simply drown the SOL
llers OF the enemy-a merciful
lealh compared with shooting--and
lot.lose our men fighting with guns
% cannons, Then we could live
nome until snch time as peace
'as declared. 1t is all very sim ple
at least on payer.

To Hanu Pictures,

Pictures hung by single wire have
an annoying way OF getting uneven
on account of the slipping Of the wire
on the picture hook. This can some
picture face TO the wall. and then
turning it around. The single turn
this makes in the wire near the hook
prevents slipping.

Work Worth CultivatIno.

The art Of selling is a very impor-
tant one, and should not be neglected
by any young man who intends to go
into business. even If he does not ex-
pect to be q salesman. He will GER
tainly have to sell his own services,
and that is one OF the hardest tasks
that any young man can undertake.

pie, Claiming Justice Erred.

Suit has been brought by Walter
Hulen against Paul Hulen, Roy Hulen,
Floyd Hulen and Blanche Hulen, the
last three of whom are minors, to re-
form deed to fifty-two acres of land
in Boone County. The defendants are
the children of the plaintiff
Mr. Hulen alleges that when he OBJ
tained the land, March 2, 1895, from
Annie f. and John A. TOalson, the
deed conveyed life estate in the land
to him "and his bodily heirs" This
form Of deed being known as a fee
tail title, Hulen claims that an abso-
Lutte, or fee simple, title should have
been conveyed.
The mistake, he claims, was due to
an error of the justice of the peace,
who drew the deed He is now suing
to have the court strike out the phrase,
land his bodily heirs" The case will
be heard at the April term of the Cir
cult Court.

MAY ORGANIZE HIGH SCHOOLS
Attempt VIII Be Made at State Meet
Here IN NAV.

The desirability of a high school
basketball tournament was discussed
at the last meeting of the Committee
on intercollegiate Athletics. Many
Of the high schools in the state
are anxious to promote such a tour
nament.
The committee decided that it was
not advisable to attempt such tour
nament this year but to await the out
come of High School Day next May,
when state high school organization
probably will be perfected. This or
ganizatiOn would have charge of
eligibility rules and arrange all state
high school athletic events.
Director c. l.. Brewer said that it
would be practically impossible to en-
tertain every high school basketball
team in the state at one time and that
it would be necessary to divide the
state into classes and districts. Then
the winners in the divisions could play
here for the championship.

Uric Acid In meat excites Kidneys

We are a nation of meat eaters and

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
they get sluggish; the eliminative tis-

tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps OF lead, and YOU have

you have severe headaches. nervous

four ounces of Jad Salts take a

the acid of grapes and lemon juice
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys. to neutral
