 Two of these I especially noticed, ono, because he was so painstakingly working over the new steps. He didn't look particularly graceful and he kept getting out of time, because he hadn't quite gotten the hang of them yet. but it was plain that he wouldn' give in until he learned to do the new steps as smoothly and gracefully as he had always done the old
 The other man l noticed, because he looked so graceful and seemed to be getting along so nicely. I looked more closely and found out why-he was doing the old steps that he already knew

 She Knew She Needed it to Round

 A working woman I know has re- gently been moved from one apart, mont to another. The new work in- wolves meeting and mixing with peo4 pie 'Sorry?' I asked. l knew she was a very quiet person. No,' she said. "Nery glad. l always hated to try to mix with people and this will round me out"
 That is d woman who will go far, and for that matter already has.
 The desire to keep on doing the things We already know how to do and do reasonably well is part of the normal human instinct to follow the line of least resistance. But alas! the line of least resistance is almost in- variably the line of least accomplish ment, too. 1t never leads to the heights It is those who have the will-power and the wisdom to turn their backs steadfastly on the line of least resistance who reach the heights of attainment.

"UNDER FIRE AND
 "MAWRUSS" AT PARSON

"Under Fire" is play of the world conflict-not merely a pano- ramic staging of the mass movement of contending armies-and it's dOmi- nant theme is a compelling and original love story, which the fortunes "f war now hinder, and now help, and ultimately bring to logical and satisfactory continuation. It is war drama without noise and has proved the greatest success of any war play since 'Secret ScrVice.' "Under Fire is at Parsons theater, Hartford, this week and SelWyn & Co. have sent to Hartford the original company headed by William Courtenay and mum bering close to 100. In the com rany arc fifty German reservists and their goose step" marching is most Impressive. The play is by Roi Cooper Megrue, author of Under Ccver'' and Tt Pays to Advertise." It is the only war play out of a score or more written since the war began which has proved real success. There will be a matinee tomorrow
 The return of "POtash & PearI- nlutter' to the Parsons theater will st cm to hundreds of playgOers like the return of two cherished friends after a long absence. Their uncon- sciOus humor, their keen knowledge of human nature, their philosophy and their kindness under their crude business exteriors have endeared them to millions in this country and in England.

One day last summer I happened to be sitting on the bank of a river in the company of an expert swimmer, while a group of boys were disport- ing themselves in the water
 l asked him who the best swim mers were and he pointed out two or three whom he considered promising performers.
 "But what about Roger?" I asked, surprised that the one who had won the little contest which they had just finished. should not have been includ- ed.
 "I don't think he'll ever amount to anything as a swimmer"
 why? He won the race" He Likes to Do What He Knows How
 to Do Well.
 "Because he's too fond of doing what ne already knows how to do. Did you notice that he used the breast stroke entirely? I've tried to teacn him the speed strokes, but they are pretty hard to get at first so after ne made one or two tries he went back to the thing he could do well and did that. People like that never get any where. There were two or three chaps in that race that can do the breast stroke as well as he and they might have beaten him if they had kept to the breast stroke, but they were try ing to get the speed strokes. They weren't satisfied to tamely do what they already knew now to do, they want to learn to do bigger things. They're the kind of chaps that will make good in swimming-and other things, too'.
 The other night in very different surroundings I was reminded of this scene. It was at dancing class. The dancing master had been trying to teach some new steps to a group of

Miss Anna Blaylock, of the Register
office, is in receipt of a letter from her
father, who lives near Ogden, telling
her of the heavy freeze there. HIS
states that on last Tuesday night the
temperature dropped below all previous
records for this time of the year and
froze everything, the most wholesale
killing in his 333 years experience
there, not leaving hatful to the acre
of all varieties; apricots as large as
marbles, black through and through,
with water oozing from them, also
nearly killing the trees, fully leaved

Uric ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you-Drink
more water.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then yor
suffer with "a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sicl
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts. from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys 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 sluggish kidneys,
also to neutrallze the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; canuot in
jure, and makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink.

AN EYE OPENER

There are a few occupations in
Wisconsin which we should all like
to see abolished for want of patron
age. Among these are the sale Of
glass eyes. Few of us would object
to seeing the asylums for the blind
closed for the same reason.
Prevention is always better than
cure. In blindness prevention offers
almost the only hope, because the
condition is almost never curable.
Such general considerations have
lead the Extension Division of the
University of Wisconsin to issue a
bulletin on The Eye in Industrial
Accidents" which should be widely
read. While it is just Off the press,
we expect the demand for it will be
great. So long as copies are avail
able, however, they will be mailed
free of cost to citizens who send
request to this bureau.
While written primarily for PEG
pie engaged in industrial plants the
bulletin has great value for all be-
cause eye injuries are too common
everywhere. This very morning

quaintances who have been danger

duce liability. Just how carelessness;
