Irregular, painful bladder action
Is another convincing evidence Of

e concentrated. causing great irrita-

at night, causing loss Of rest and

added danger Of chilling the body, a
condition to be very carefully avoided

situation promptly and effectively.

Few States Without Primaries.

All of the states in the Union have
some form OF primary except Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Delaware, New
Mexico and Utah. North Carolina has
no direct primary, but has a presiden-

Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas
and Texas the Democrats nominate by
direct primary, but the statutes make
no provision for other parties. A full
primary law, passed In Vermont re-
Gently, was approved by a majority Of
3,70O, and will be in effect for the Sc

Cheese, butter and other butterfats

in our export trade after long period
OF comparative inactivity. England
has become our largest foreign mar
ket for butter, cheese and condensed
milk, having last year taken 3.333.OOO
pounds of butter, out of total ex-
port of 100000 pounds; lS,500,0O0

a total of 100000 pounds. Canada,
Cuba, Panama, Australia and Venezu-
ella also take considerable quantities
of American butter; Panama and the
West Indies are important markets for
our cheese; while Cuba, the Neither
lands, China, Japan, Hongkong.

amounts of American condensed milk.

OF the sun. Observations of the sun
are depended upon by vessels at sea.
The first thing to do is to ascertain
what is known as your true north
south line. To do this you must know
your longitude and have the correct
time. Next, measure the altitude of
the sun at apparent noon-that is,
when its shadow is north. Place a
curved piece of cardboard in the win
dow, with the blind drawn down to the
wood o. the upper window. The angle
made by the window will then indicate
the altitude OF the sun with sufficient
accuracy.
Next. consult what is known as the
"Analemma" (see diagram). If you
live 4 the northern hemisphere you
must subtract from the declination of
the sun (Which the analemma gives
you) the suns declination. Subtract
this result from so degrees, and the
remainder is your latitude Popular

An interesting experiment that

Now place an ordinary darning needle

NO Ass NEEDED
Simple Method of Determining
Latitude.
Point Is to Be Sure of Location of the
North Star, Which Is Really All
the Astronomy Necessary
to Know.

There is a very simple way by
means of which the novice, unframed
in astronomical observation, can de-
termine his latitude, without the aid
of complicated and expensive appa-
ratus.
If you were situated on the equator,
the North star would be directly north
OF you. This star must be learned and
identified, so that it can be picked out
anywhere at moments notice. This
is all the astronomy you need know
as the location of this star will give
the latitude.
When half way to the North pole
the North star is midway between the
zenith and the northern horizon At
the pole it is directly overhead. In
ing, for example. 80 degrees at New
Orleans, 40 degrees at Philadelphia.
and SO on. The altitude of the North
star is the latitude of a place north of
the equator. All that is necessary
then, to determine the latitude, is to
LuedSuIe the angie Oh the NOTtQ star
and thus determine the altitude of the
celestial pole. This will give the lati-
tude.
Take pair of ordinary compasses.
Open them, and place one point in a
level window sill, holding the arm
upright. Now point the other arm OF
the compass at the North Polar star.
The angle thus formed by the pair of
compasses will be fairly accurate, pro
vided the pointing has been done care
fully and the other arm is held at
right angles to the sill.
When the compasses have been ad-
justed as explained, proceed TO meas
ure the angle formed by the arm of
the compass. This will indicate your
latitude. For every degree OF curva-
ture OF the earth the North star rises
on degree from the horizon. IL is
thus an easy matter to see your lati-
tude from the number of degrees made
by the angle of your compass.
Another way to discover the latitude
of any given place-and a method
much more often used-is by means

"A curious result of the experiment
Is that a person standing near by can
