credit the inventor because he does
things out of the conventional, or be-
cause we do not see the value of the
tinkering. When he happens to make
something that the rest of US can use
we are likely to assume that he did
the useful thing because he wanted
US to reward him for it. But the facts
are probably inverted by US. We re-
ward the useful results, and thus en-
couraged him to try again.
We should do all we can to preserve
the child's spontaneous impulses-not

Kidney Disorder
(BY DIR. v. NJ. PIERCE.1


The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder of the human
system. The mere drinkin a cup
OF hot water each morning, plenty
OF pure water all day, and little
Anuric before every meal has been
found the most effective means of
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur if the kidneys did not
work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backaehe,
depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsi-
ness, frrftability, headaches, chilli
ness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
Joints or govt.
Since it is such a simple matter to
step into your favorite drug store and
obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly
desires to regain health and new life
will waste no time in beginning this
treatment.

eerinS OF the University of Nevada,
and F. L. Bixby, federal expert work
ing with the university engineers.
This flow of water was developed
from what is known as a water
mound. In this vicinity are many
mounds or knobs averaging 10 feet
in height. From some of them in
dications of water are apparent. The
knobs or mounds have probably been
built up by dust and sand carried
by the wind into the vegetation sur
rounding the springs, and held there
by moisture Ordinarily the accu-
mutation continues until it becomes
high enough to stop the flow of the
springs.
The normal flow of the springs
at the beginning of the investigation
was six and one half gallons per min
uet. After 100 cubic yards of mater
ial had been removed from the
mound steady flow of 1926 gallons
minute was developed.
Great difficulty in pumping was ex-
perienced. The pump had to be re-
moved many times to clear out bones
of animals. Authorities say that
these are skeletons of animals which
in years gone by, went to the springs
and lost their lives in quicksand.
w. s. Park, on whose property
one of these springs is now flowing,
estimates that he can do extensive
development work as the result.
The University engineers are
greatly pleased as the result of their
work. The work accomplished by
them at Las Vegas is of economic
Importance, inasmuch as the knoll
springs may develop an appreciate
