There Is perhaps NO region in the
world where 70 much time and mon
ey has been spent In agricultural de-
velopment. with ensuing failure. u in
the Great Plains area under the 90
called dry farming system. For the
last forty years or more people have

Most Of this soil IL - fertile and pro-

reason for the failure has been that
many people followed the theory
that II was necessary 70 cultivate
large areas and often had far more
CROPS In the ground than they could
handle successfully and conserve
the moisture properly. This has
been due largely to the officious In

Street Railroad Comedy.

The uncertainty of travel on the
cable cars in Edinburgh was respon-
sible for a little comedy the other
night, in which the principal actor was
an indignant and disappointed passen-
ger. The passenger had just paid his
penny fare, when the vehicle came to
a stop. It was an unofficial stop,
and when it was seen that there was
no immediate prospect of resump-
ton of the journey, the passenger con-
cerned demanded his money back. The
conductor, on the ground that he
had punched the ticket, refused to
comply with the demand. Eventually
the passenger, in his indignation, lift
ed the spare driving wheel which was
lying at the rear end of the car and
threatened to retain it as a tangible
substance for his lost journey. The
man was told that he would be given
in charge to the police. He threatened
to charge the conductor with the theft
of the penny. The carman called in
the policeman, and the parties pro-
ceeded to the police station, where
the passenger was charged with the
appropriation of the tramway com
pany's property. The police are pre-
paring a report upon it for the crown
prosecutor. The complaining passen-
ger was not detained. The stoppage
on the route concerned in this tram
way episode lasted for about an hour.

whose home is in Columbus, Ind, tells
this story of Jim Cooper, a former fell
low townsman:
Pence worked in a bank. Cooper
appeared at the teller's window one
day, beckoned mysteriously to Pence
and, when he approached, whispered
that he would like private conference
in the back room of the bank.
Mr.. Pence hurried to the back room
and let Cooper in, closing the door
very carefully.
Cooper, grasping Pence by the coat
sleeve, moved to a far and dark cor
ner of the room. Then he whispered
in Fences all-too-curious ear:

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

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 a well-knoWn
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
oyerworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come 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
backache, 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 Oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi

ner by episodes of other campaigns
related in the Scientific American:
That winter adds greatly to the diff
culties and hardships of the warning
European nations cannot be doubted.
1t is true that improvements In mili.
fary methods and equipment have
made impossible such colossal horrors
as those attending Napoleon's retreat
from Moscow, or even those incidental
to the operations of the allied armies
in the Crimean war; yet the rigors Of
winter are still factor to be reckoned
with in both the strategical and the hui
manitarian aspects of the war.
AS to the sufferings entailed upon
the soldiers, a few illustrations will
show that these are still inevitable.
Of the fighting in Manchuria in Jan.
uary, 1905, during the Russo-Jap-
anese war, Sir Ian Hamilton says:
"Horsemen galloped about the field
with the foam and dripping sweat of
the horses changing into a crust like
snow and long dangling icicles. The
Fifth division-only 20 yards distant
from the Russians, near Heikoutai-
had the choice tetween frost and fire.
When they stamped their feet to keep
life in them, the Russians, expecting
an advance, fired on them. When the
Japanese remained quiet they lost
their toes. Tour hundred of them
were TO- I'd to be suffering from tosho
