MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
HAVE APPENDICITIS

Surgeons state men are slightly more
subject to appendicitis than women.
Mineral Point people should know that
few doses of simple buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i- ka,
often relieve or prevent appendicitis.
This mixture removes such surprising
foul matter that ONE SPOONFUL re-
lieves almost ANY CASE constipation,
sour stomach or gas. The INSTANT,
EASY action of Adler-i ka is surprising

PRIEST RAPIDS
NITRATE PLANT
A POSSIBILITY
Chance to Land Big Government
Enterprise for the Columbia
River Valley
CONGRESS is CONSIDERING 1T
Senator Poindexter Says Northwest
Should Unite i'm Efforts to Boost
r ~.. for This Location

To board to consist of an officer
representing the army engineers, an
officer representing the ordnance de-
partment of the army and represen-
tative of agriculture will be delegated
the duty of making a recommendation
for locating the government nitrate
plant, for which $20,O00,0O0 has been
appropriated. .
One of the first questions to be con-
sidered will be that of methods Of
producing nitrates.
Whether it is cheaper, all elements,
including freight rates, being taken
into consideration, to make nitrates
by hydro-electric power or as by
product from coal.
Priest Rapids Plan is Urged
Senator Poindcxter, who is urging
the selection of site in the Spokane
region, said today:
81 find on inquiry at the Office of
the army engineers that in the tenta-
tive list of possible sites for hydro
electric plant, in the event that that
process is chosen, is Priest Rapids,
and that Col. Cavanaugh, district en-
gineer at Seattle, has been called on
for report on all other available
sites in the district. My Judgment is
that it might be we'll for the Spokane
people to concentrate their efforts on
the Priest Rapids plan.
aIndications are now that one of the
determining factors in the selection
will be the ability to market the sur
plus nitrates for agricultural fertiliz-
er purposes. Here comes in the ele-
ment of freight rates; which is an i'm
portant one.
81 believe that, however, the mill
tary considerations might very well be
emphasized. 1t is proposed to spend
half million dollars in constructing
powder factory, and such factory
should be adjacent to the nitrate plant.
There is government powder fac
tory adjacent to the Atlantic sea-
board, but none adjacent to the Pa
cifc seaboard, seaboard of equal
strategic Importance. have urged
this idea on the army engineers"

Measured in terms of enthusiasm,
pep and ginger, the little farmers in
stitute which was held here last Fri
day was one of the livest affairs Ken
newick has seen for some time. It
wasn't little institute but an insti-
tue Of little farmers which was at

the county.
aAltho the days. program was di-
rected by County Club Leader Fred
iGennmell the youngsters did the work
and when once they got started they
could have given many of their elders
some lessons in parliamentary prac-
tice.
The institute organized by electing
Fred Krug, of the Highlands, presi-
dent and Eula Toothaker, of Hover,
secretary. The forenoon was devoted
to section meetings. Lee M. Lampson
had charge of the corn division, Grin
Beinhart talked to the young pig
raisers, George Sellick took the poul-
try raisers in hand and Prof. F. C.
Audrian directed the canning section.
Mrs. Jones, of the state college, gave
an interesting talk and contributed
materially to the success Of the days
program.
At noon the instituters enjoyed a
picnic dinner on the lawn at the Lamp
son home. In the afternoon the coun-
ty agriculturalist gave practical dem
onstrations in corn growing in near

done it was rapidly spreading and had

would have resulted.
The ceiling and walk and the COW

Congressman LaFo1lette for re-elec-
tlon. - gs g.s
There are now five candidates in
the contest, S. ]. Harrison, of Benton
City, VIM. H. Fouts, of Dayton, Mr..
Hale, Congressman LaFollette and
Ed. Parker, of North Yakima, who
was an also-ran in the campaign of
two years ago. This number Of candi-
dates makes operative the second
choice provision of the primary law
and mixes things up until it is impos-
sible to tell who is who.
Mr.. Harrison is making an active
campaign in all parts of the district
and from the many assurances of sup
port feels greatly encouraged as to
his chances for success. His candidacy
is developing unexpected strength in
Whitman county, Congressman LaFol-
lette's own home, while the Yakima
Valley is standing, almost solidly,
back Of him.

turned last week from an extended
trip thru southeastern Washington,

of Next Week

A meeting is to be held in the Com
mercial club rooms at two o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon of next week for the
purpose of organizing the Benton
County Good Roads association. The

will be not only to work with the coun-
ty commissioners to secure the best
results in county road building but to

Some men show lack of backbone, when in
trying to reach the goal of their desires and amb-
tions, they happen to fail and therefor surrender
to the first failure. Because of this failure they
take it for granted that another try might (D re-
suit in failure also
But how DO they know?
Does their lack of backbone give them pre-
monition of again failing or do they, perchance,
skeptically regard sincere endeavor as bankrupt
unable to repay9
If so, it is only their fault that they accom-
psh nothing. Giving in to fear that failure will
result at every try is not helping to win the
goal.
Gritting the teeth and stiffening the backbone
with snap of real determination will win over
failure, even tho it bob up again and again.
Only tireess battle to win over all obstacles
will eventually reward you as conqueror over that
'bogie,'' the first failure.
