Scarcity of Tungsten.

Those who are owners OF tungsten
properties in these parts or who ex-
pect to be, will be interested to know
that London letter in this New
York Tribune states that foreign ex-
perts think that the navy building of
the United States cannot be carried
on because of inability to procure
tungsten, which is necessary to the
manufacture OF the best grade of ar
NOR plate and guns. The greater
part of the worlds supply of mineral
from which tungsten comes is
from the allied countries or has been
contracted by them. There are only
about 1000 tons year available for
the United States, which would be
totally inadequate for any extensive
naval construction.

FROM THOSE HIGH UP.

Let those who have been successful
advise you as to the kind of an edu-
cation you should have. Men at the
head of the affairs of our state and
nation.
Following are extracts from letters
from some of Americas greatest men
on the value of a business education
Hon. Champ Clark, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Washing.
ton, D. c., says: "Since I have been
elected Speaker I have had it more
thoroughly impressed on me than ev.
er before that a thorough business
college training is of exceeding i'm.
portance." o. M. Dickinson, former
Secretary of War, Washington, D
G., "Contemporaneously with taking
my general education, too a course
IN business college and found it OF
value to me, not only generally, but in
the practice of law" R. B. Glen, Elk.
Governor Of North Carolina: 81
cheerfully recommend to every one 9
practical business education for Their
children" Oswald West, Ex-Gover-
nor of Oregon: "The modern business
school plays large part in fitting
young men and women for their en-.
trance into the business world" T
y. Pickett, Representative from Iowa
Inc value-even necessity of prac.
t7lcal education to young people today
is SO obvious that no argument should
eb required in support of it, E. F
Noel, Ex-Governor Of Mississippi: "a
take pleasure in testifying to the i'm

perry conducted business education

You keep the chicken house clean
to keep the parasites off the chick

what do you do to get the germs and

Should slOan's Liniment Go AlOng?

Of course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit an
application of Sloan's Liniment will
take the soreness and stiffness away
and get you in fine shape for the
morrow. You should also use it for
a sudden attack of toothache, stiff
neck, backache, stings, bites and the
many accidents that are incidental to
a vacation. eve would as soon leave
our baggage as go on vacation or
camp out without Sloan's Liniment. /"
Writes one yacationist: "We use it
for everything. from cramps to tooth
ache" Put bottle in your bag, be
prepared and have no regrets.

ARRESTED GROWTH.

"A boy who is not SO tall as he wants
to be, n who has not grown for three
years, although he is only 80 years old.
wants to know If there is any posi-
bility that he will or can grow taller,
and, if there is, what he can do to help
on the process.
Osborne and Mendel have recently
studied the possibilities of causing a re-
sumption OF arrested growth. They took
young white rats and stopped their
growth by changing their food. In some
growth was stopped by feeding nsuf-
fcient food. In others the food given
"a not a quality which promotes
growth. After these animals had been
thoroughly runted and had been kept
there for a long time-that is, a long
time in the growing life of a rat
feeding them properly caused them to
grow to full size. A rat usually attains
its growth within the first 300 days OF
Ire. one of their stunted rats resumed
growth n grew until he was $40 days
sid.
Some Of their conclusions are as FOL
lows:
1T is reasonable to ask whether the
capacity to grow can ever be lost unless
1t Is exercised" They found tha ami
mails in whom growth had been arrested
when fed right and given q chance to
grow grew rapidly until they reached
their growth. This was true regardless
OF the size and age of the animals when
Growth was stopped or how long it had
been stopped. In some cases the re-
heWed growth was more rapid than the
normal growth. They concluded that
the stunning from insufficient food or
improper food a be wholly overcome.
n FOODS best suited to produce
growth were good fresh milk, bu ter,
eggs, meat and bread. vegetables and
ifult. THESE foods rank in value in the
order named Funk and MacCallum saw
that protelns, carbohydrates, fats, and
salts are necessary for growth, and that
IN ADDITION, certain accessory sub
stances, one water soluble and one fat
soluble, are necessary. Years and out
ter on bread, meat, and sugars will
stimulate growth, but good fresh milk
is best Of all.
Now, does this mean? 1t means
that when growth has been stopped be-
proper food will cause it to resume. And
that is all that 1t means. If a bow has
stopped growing 6nom any other cause.
change in food. in quality or in quaint
ity, viii not cause him to begin growing
again. II a boy stops growing at five
feet 1--WE inches because some ancestor
was snort. he cannot change his food
and thereby increase his stature, And
II Is inheritance that determines stature
In most cases. The ancestor that the
boy X after may not be his father
or mother. 1t may be a ~grandparent or
perhaps even a greatgrandparent. There
IS not much that a boy can do to in
crease his height who stops growing
because 1t is in his stock for him to
stop. He should get plenty Of exercise
IN the open air and eat a~bundsntly. He
should eat plenty Of good fresh milk
and butter and plenty OF meat. Per-
haps he should eat some dried yeast.
This policy may help some, but the
chance is against it.

sVec so many parcels to send out from

IN which he always wrapped them a
rather expensive item.
One days while he was walking in his
garden he came across a wasps's nest,
md he noticed how wonderfully it was
nade-how the clever wasps had used
Iome kind Of wood, softened it into a
Thin paste with their Jaws, and, after
carefully shaping it. had left it to dry.

Although the acreage Of small grains
and corn in South Dakota, Nebraska
and Iowa has decreased this season q
greater number of men will ne required

the yield will be far in excess of any

Figures compiled by M. King, Of the
BOARD of trade. show thai from reports
FROM 296 towns the acreage of spring
wheat has decreased 2.3 per cent;
winter wheat has decreased in acreage

Harvesting late.
Harvesting operations in South Da-
kota are from 10 days to two weeks
late and work will begin probably in
three weeks. Wheat is heading out and
IS said to be in perfect condition
throughout the state. Careful estimates
say that at least $4,000 men will be re-
quired to handla the crop of that state.
Corn, which is becoming one OF the
chief crops of the state, is gaining the
lost ground due to wet and cold weather

New Cure For Nervousness.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
There must have been merit In the
''birch e OF childhood for the same
remedy Is prescribed n sanitariums
nowadays for invalids. In other words,
it Is considered that a healthy reaction
may be gained from a spanking"
In the mechano therap departments
of up-tosdate institutions, the whip
ping post" a mechanical device TOR
therapeutic padding, is an accredited
healing machine.
You are whipped by straps Of heavy
cloth or leather attached to two rap
idly revolving posts. When you tnke
the treatment you step backward into
the flying whips and receive their
blows upon your legs, back, abdomen or
chest, depending upon the malady from
which you are suffering. The impact
of the straps is just sufficient to set the
blood in circulation. There Is no
smarting, singing sensation because
the straps are broad enough to elimin-
ate any possibility Of a cutting blow.
You are padded rather than dashed.
The whipping post" is valuable in
many type OF nervousness. It ts also
valuable in increasing blood circulation
and relieving numbness. Certain forms
of paralysis, though not responsive to
other treatment, are benefited.

Seals Can Drown.

1t is a curious fuct that the fur seal
was once n land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid Of water;
they would drown If thrown into tt,
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however. they soon
forget to walk.
There are In existence only two TIM
Portant herds of fur seals, ol.e of
which has it's breeding ground in the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus
STA, the other in the Pribilof islands,
belonging to the United States. OF
hese the latter is much the larger.
The pribilof islands are government
property, and thus it happens TIA. the
United States government finds itself
the owner OF by far the most valuable
herd of fur seals In the world.
