Undoubtedly the conditions for
Delaware farmers today are far su-
perior to those Of a few years ago.
Where, some years ago. many farmers
simply plowed their fields and sowed
the same kind of grain or planted the
same crops year after year, the cam
paign of agricultural education that
has been recently made throughout
the State has wrought a wonderful
change. and today the up-to-dste
farmer plants the crop which he knows
is best adapted to the soil on his farm.
and which will pay him the best
profit for energy expended
"While the county agents of the
three respective counties Co great
good the entire year around. their
services being available to the farm
ers at all times. yet the most con-
centrated method Of educating the
farmers of the State is through the
farmers Institutes, which recently
came to a close in Kent and Sussex
counties. These institutes. which
consist of a series Of meetings held
in various towns throughout the coun-
ties, are of immense value to the
farmer. as the speakers at each meet
ing consist of men who are experts
in the work upon which they lecture. "

"Should any farmer in Delaware fail
to make his crops return him a hand
some profit on capital invested and
labor expended. through his lack of
knowledge Of agricultural work. he
can certainly blame nobody but him
self" says the Wilmington Sunday
Star. During the past year or two
every opportunity has been afforded
farmers and fruit growers to become
thoroughly familiar with the lire Of
agricultural work in which they are
engaged, through the medium Of fruit
growers schools. corn shows. the coun-
ty agents, Delaware College experts
and the farmers institutes.

Rehuildinn Johns Hopkins.

What the Johns Hopkins Of the past
has been is an old story. AS small
university it has ever stood for the
best in higher learning. Intensive
work has always been it's aim. That
the expansion sure to follow the re-
moval to Homewood will work no
change in the ideals vigorously ad-
hered to in the past is made plain by
the present plans of the authorities.
Hopkins will never be large univer-
sity, provision being made for not
more than 1000 students. The class
rooms are to be small, accommodating
not more than thirty students each,
with the understanding that the size
of the classes is to remain constant,
even if the university reaches the
maximum enrolment. The line of
demarcation between undergraduate
and graduate work is to be sharply
drawn in all departments, and the
dormitories, which will follow the
quad" system, will not provide room
for more than 200 students each. Five
years ago Homewood was virtually a
wilderness; today it has been laid out
according to the best landscape archi-
tectural ideas of the day. In another
five years, if the money is forthcom-
ing, the new university will probably
be completed.

DOCUMENT IN AMERICA
HARRISBURG HAS a COFY OF
PENN'S CHARTER.
Claim Is That Only Three Were Made
and One, as Is Proper, Is in Penn
syIvania's State
Capital.

Arguments pro and con are being
heard for the determination of the
location of the genuine, dyed-in-the-
wool, original charter which conveyed
as a gift to William Penn the lands
which since have become known as
the state of Pennsylvania. The city
Of Brotherly Love has heard that
there is on exhibition in the city of
Father Knickerbocker, along with
some other relics of the Quaker foun-
der whose name was latiniciZed into
that of the third state in the Union,
what purports to be that original
charter And the Investigators de-
clare that what is shown is not the
charter, nor a copy of the charter, but
merely a copy of proclamation to
the inhabitants and planters of the
province of Pennsylvania. which was
dated April 2, 1851.
OF each of the official papers con-
nected with the gift of "Penn's
Woods" to William Penn there are
said to have been three copies made.
One copy of each paper:was deposited
in the Public Record Office, in London;
one was kept by the Penn fa11ily in
England, and the third was brought
to America. =
The consequence is that in the state
archives of Pennsylvania at Harris
burg there is copy of the proclama-
ton. In Harrisburg it is said also
that the owner of the collection on
show in New York is mistaken in
thinking that the original charter is
sued by Charles II for the province
is not in that city, for as matter of
fact it is in Harrisburg, and more
over it was copied in facsimile and
published by the state in connection
with a copy of the Duke Of York S
laws for his territory, the lands that
now constitute the state of Delaware,
and which later were decided to Penn
There is copy of the charter in the
London Office as a mater of course.

BIG EATERS HAVE BAD
KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE
Take Glass Of Salts at Once If Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and
Bladder Trouble You.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
oyerwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
II When your kidneys feel like Jumps
Of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer is q source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure, makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.-Ady.

Deadly Cotton.

1t takes 400 pounds of cotton to
make the powder for one shot from
the Queen Elizabeth's guns, or from
one of the German 17-inch guns The
same quantity of cotton would provide
ammunition for 400 shots from field
gun, or $4,000 rounds from a rifle.
Some idea of the consumption of
cotton in the war may be had from the
fact that 1000 tons a day are required
to supply the German and Austrian
armies with powder
The British cordite consists of two
thirds guncotton. The raw material
is dipped into nitric acid, washed and
dried, and the material thus supplied
becomes the base of the explosive.
Guncotton can only be made from
raw cotton. Woven cotton is of no
use, and any attempt to use it would
be dangerous.-Tid Bits.

EonueS' Gallery Movies.

The police department has decided
to try the use of moving pictures for
the Identification of criminals, says
the New York Times. Second Deputy
Commissioner Lord has been making
plans for the installation of moving
picture room at police headquarters.
Most policemen agree that the ordi-
nary photograph used in the Identified
ton of criminals serves but a poor
purpose. Unless the original has some
pronounced facial characteristic it is
almost impossible to identify him by
a photograph.
By taking moving pictures of crimi-
nails the police will be enabled to re-
produce on the screen all of the crimi-
nails physical characteristics. They
will be photographed front view and
side view, standing and walking. In
this way the police will be able to
note the criminals popularity of gait.

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. irrita-
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-
tism, govt or sciatica- This is the time
