HOW TO PROLONG LIFE

By adopting simple diet men like
Conaro have lived to be 100 years of age
but with our complex diets of today
the vitality of the aged is taxed to its
utmost endurance. A simple diet
therefore, is conducive to long life
and if the vitality becomes impaired
and weakness seems apparent, our To-
cal druggists, Hooks Pharmacy, have
in Vinol non-secret remedy which
contains just the elements needed to
restore strength to weak, feeble old
people, and prolong a healthy, happy
life. advt

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take Glass of Salts to Flush Kid,
neys ii Bladder BOthers You
Drink Lots of Water.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked:
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
scrts of Distress particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a 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 genera
lions to flush clogged kidneys and slim
uiate them to normal activity; also to
neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone,
makes a delightful effervescent iithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

Heat Wave Is
A Killer Too

BUENOS AIRES, April 5.-The Arg,
entine is experiencing a phenomenal
heat wave that has caused an enorm-

Province of Santa Fe, alone, from five
to six thousand head of cattle have
succumbed, involving loss of nearly
million dollars to the ranch owners
The wheat yield, however, is remark
ably large, and the corn crop also
promises to be good.

NEARING The END
Long Dispute Between Santa
Fe and Employees
Is Approaching the Point of
Final Adjustment.

The demands for a REIMBURSEMENT of
the schedule of wages and hours of
work that were made nearly year
ago by locomotive firemen and en-
gineers of SO western railroads and
that were prevented from developing
into a general strike by the interven-
ton of a board of arbitration appear
to be at least temporarily ironed out
as far as the Santa Fe is concerned.
1t was said this morning, that as a re-
suit of the six weeks conference that
has been held in Topeka between Of
ficials of the Santa F'e and firemen
and engineers of the road most of the
differences have been adjusted and as
soon as a clearer Interpretation of
two points, still in dispute, is received
from members of the board in Chi
cago, the men will sign new contracts.
The award of the arbitration board
which became effective May 10, 1915,
and is binding for one year only, was
thoroughly unsatisfactory to them,
members of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Engineers de-
clared, Immediately after it was
handed down and they frankly de-
twelve months the actual settlement
of the differences involved. 1t is
highly probable, therefore, that the
results of the local conference will not
be in effect after next May.
The essential requests of the men
that the arbitration board considered
were:
l. One hundred miles or less, five
hours or less, to constitute a days
work in passenger service Overtime
pre- rata. One hundred miles or less,
ten hours or less to constitute a days
work in all service except passenger
or switching, with time and half for
overtime.
2. Varying advances in rate of pay,
according to the rate of the engine
driven, with a bonus of 10 per cent
additional on grades of s. per cent or
more. A five per cent increase over
present rates on narrow gage roads.
Engineers and firemen to have rights
to positions as motormen and helpers
when steam power is displaced by
electricity without loss of seniority
rights.
g. Enginemen on way freights to
receive 10 per cent more than on
through freights. with. overtime addi-
tional when switching work causes
the overtime.
4. An advance in rate of pay in
switching service, ten hours to consti-
tute a days work, with time and a
half for overtime, and guarantee of
time to eat after ten hours work.
5. Pay for time spent in preparing
engine for days run.
6. Pay for time delayed at initial or
final terminal in addition to all mile
age or time made on trip.
Z. Automatic release when arrive at
terminal. If used again, run to be
considered new day.
s. Pay for continuous time after
fifteen hours rest, while held away
from home terminal, at rate of last
service performed.
8. Enginemen deadheading shall be
paid the same rate as the men haul
! ing them.
| 10. Holsters to be employed where
there are six or more engines handled
per day, engineers and firemen to have
right to these positions, with wages
approximately the same as men in
| switching servicce.
The requests were all based on a
general request that the weight of an

ORIGIN OF SONGS
National Anthems Written on
Spur of the Moment.
"America" in Doubt; Russia's
Song Made to Order.

New York, Jan. 22-From data just
gathered by the Metropolitan Opera
company, these facts are learned
about patriotic songs familiar to near
~ everyone:
The national song of the French, the
"Marseillaise, was composed by
Rouget de Isle, a captain of en-
gineers quartered at Strasburg when
the volunteers of the Bas Rhin re-
They had no music, but at the sug-
gestion of Dietrich, the mayor of
Strasburg, De Lisle composed this
song on the night of April "a, 1892. 1t
was subsequently sung in Marseilles
with immense success, hence its name.
The song as it stands is the greatest
revolutionary hymn in the world. The
French government recently transfer
red the body of Rouget de Isle, who
suffered Imprisonment for his revolu
tionary opinions during his lifetime, to
the Palace des Invalides with great
pomp and ceremony.
The music of Deutschland uber
allies" was written by Haydn in 1897.
The present words We're not written
until 1871, by Hoffman Won Fall
lers1eben. At that time Germany was
not united into an empire as it is to-
day.
The 'Wacht am Rhein" was written
by Max Scheckenberger, an obscure
was by Carl Wilhelm. The song be-
came popular during the Franco-Ger
man war.
The national hymn of Austria was
composed by Haydn and is known as
the "Emperor's Hymn"
The words of the Star Spang1ed
Banner" were written by Francis Scott
Key, an American prisoner on Brit
ish man of war during the lombard
ment of Fort McHenry in 1914. The
melody is an old English drinking
song.
The words of yankee Doodle" were
probably written by a DR.. Shuckburgh,
a surgeon in the French and Indian
wars Halliday, the antiquarian, as
serts the melody is derived from
chant used in the italian churches of
the twelfth century. 1t is well known
that the song was a vintage song in
France and Spain, and a song of the
reapers in Holland. 1t is also said to
be founded on a jig of 1745, known as
kitty Fishers Jig" The Cavaliers
are said to have used it in ridicule of
Cromwell just as the British used it
against the Americans.
The origin of "America"-the tune
of God Save the King in England
and ''Heil dir i'm Sieges Kranz' in Ger
many-is in doubt, though it is often
ascribed to DR.. John Bull, an English
man. 1t is also ascribed to Henry
Carey.
The Russian national anthem, "God
Protect the Gar" is one of the most
majestic of hymns. 1t was composed
by Colonel Alexis, an officer in the
Russian army, in 1882, to words by
the poet Jonkowsky. 1t is probably
the only inspired national song ever
written to order"
