Commission Right Confirmed.

The Wisconsin supreme court al
firmed the decision OF the cir
cult court for Dane county, sustain
ing the order for the railroad commits
sion requiring the Wisconsin Tele
phone company and the La crosse
Telephone company to estaohsn
physical connection between their re-
spective lines and local exchanges in
the city of La Crosse The Wisconsin
Telephone company brought an action
in the circuit court to set aside an or
der of the commission on the grounds
the order was not authorized by stat
ute and violated the constitutional
rights of Wisconsin company.
The supreme court holds that the
statute is plainly a valid exercise OF the
police power and that there was ample
evidence from which the commission
might find that physical connection
was required by public convenience
and necessity.
In this connection the court said
that the word necessity" as used in
this law, does not mean an absolute
necessity. but a strong or urgent need
The court points out that the claim
of the Wisconsin company that it
would suffer irreparable injury upon
the physical connection order in the
loss of local exchange subscribers is
supported only by opinion testimony
in advance of any actual experience
under the order. The court said, how
ever, that if the company can show
from actual operation under the order
that it has suffered actual loss, it can
apply to the commission for relief in
the form of a modified order or a re-
scinding order, and said further that
the order of the commission upon such
an application would be renewable in
court.
The judgment appealed from is af-
firmed without prejudice to the right
Of the plaintiff to make subsequent
application to set the order aside if it
shows desire

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS

Drink Lots of Water.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys
The moment you feel dull ache IN
the kidneys or your back hurts or il
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular OF passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in a few days
your kidneys will act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure. thereby avoiding serious kidney

PHEAsANTs PROVE UNsOCIABLE.
Western Fanciers Report Tngra titude A and ack-biting as Actual
 Characteristics. @
Seattle Post-IntelIigencer).

According to those who raise them, a pheasant has the pleasant manners of a wildcat and about the same amount of affection for his owner. Pheasant farming is popular and in some instances, at least, a profitable business in and about Seattle. The farmers have just formed an associa- tion to develop new markets.
 Edgar J. Wright, president of the newly organized Western Washington Pheasant Breeders Association, which numbers fifteen local breeders, says he has a silver pheasant cock that exhibits all the sweetness of a Kadiak bear cub and an ingratitude that Is sharper than the serpents tooth.
 A. J. Park, who owns one of the largest private pheasant farms about Seattle, tells of one cock that delights to run up from behind him and bite him in the leg, and the bite or peck of an angry pheasant Is not at all soothing, says MT. Park.
 Notwithstanding these adverse re- ports on the manners of pheasants, pheasant farmers in western Wash ington seem fairly numerous. Mir. Wright says that at least thirty per sons seriously are trying to breed birds for marketing in Eastern states.
 A considerable shipment of Wash ington pheasants was sent last year to Honolulu, where they are reported :. to be hardier and finer birds than the : island has ever seen before. Other birds have been sold in Pennsylvania and only a few days ago members of the Western Washington Association were asked to bid on an order of 5000 pheasants wanted in Pennsylvania. ;

Trying to Snip the President.
 (NeW Haven JTniOn.)

'"The question is often asked wheth- CT our boys at the front have been trapped there to prevent them from voting at the next presidential cleo tion,' says the Hartford COurant, edtOrially, in it's edition of last We'd nesday. Let us take this matter fair ly and sQl1arely and say that if we are not misnformed Governor Fo1- comb has full over to call a spe- cial session of the legislature. If correctly informed and we think we are, the Hartford Courant has inside influence enough with the governor to cause the calling of such special legislative session to provide legal machinery so the mlitiamen could vote. Why doesn't the Courant use it's influence? Nobody would object to the expense, nobody would protest.
 There are more Wilson votes in the National Guard ranks than there are republican votes, probably. Certainly the democrats would not object.
 The question which the Courant reports as "often asked" is only re- peated by political snipers who are trying to turn every thought, no mat ter HOW 1nane, to the disadvantage of tie president of the Unted States.

ner circles of the allies, the big meaS of the entente powers who are in con-ss trol of events so far as they can be $ controlled from one side, and who have all the facts and bases of calcu- latlon at their fingers ends, are ng- ur1ng on a formal cessation Of nos < tlltles in the spring of 1917. On pre- E clseIy what circumstances, conditions or events they predicate this belief It is not possible to know, but there is no great doubt that they entertain Il |. and are making calculations on soma such basis.
 It may be that they have figured out the effects of attrition upon the central powers as operating to com- pei the Teutons to seek peace at tke expiration of another nine or ters months; that they have means of knowing that beyond sucR. @ period 1t will not be possible for Germany, and Austria to continue the war OEs they may not know that their own Ft powers to make successful war will be exhausted by that time and that there may be an understanding that, next spring, the entente will move for peace on the best terms Obtainable.
 So that there seems to be cause for
 
 war will never see the third anniver- sary of it's beginning And with or without cause it has come to be SD strong a general belief as to be termed @ conviction. 2
 Yet all the expecta tions of the en- tente statesmen and soldiers, all the profound confidence of the neutral world, that the war is rapidly waning toward it's end. may prove to be lily based There is no doubt that the struggle is going badly for the Teu- tons; there seems to be small reasonh~ to anticipate any improvement in their condition or their prospects in the inn mediately future. The tide seems to have turned and continued allied vic tories to be the probability. But it f must be borne in mind that Germany is still on foreign soil on both her ! fronts and that even if she is driven therefrom there is the possibility that an entirely new phase of the war must . be fought out, that of the defense~ of her own territory.
 If Germany is beaten back to her frontiers, with the manifest impossi- # bility of regaining the enemy ground, she has held heretofore, she may be ready for a peace; but she may at the same time be wholly unready for a peace dictated by the commercial in terests of England. She may continue the war with her back to the wallsS of her own cities, in a grim deter imitation to get better terms than of fered to her, perhaps for an indefinite period. At bay, no one yet knows what the possibilities of the German . empire might prove to be; 1t is futile to estimate how long the nation might continue to maintain a state of war : under such conditions of pure defen- siveness, with shortened lines, with " her national existence at stake.
 Our expectancy of peace within the year may find Justification in the years events. But it may not.

BARRIERS, ATTENTION.

Those who conduct barber shops in custom of closing their doors at one o'clock Monday afternoon. In prob ably no other city in the country does such a practice prevail. Usually, the tonsorial shops keep their doors open longer on this day than on any other except Saturday. There is a reason: After an interval between Saturday night and Monday morning, mere man needs the gentle administrations of his favorite Knight of the Razor. If he is away from home he naturally needs a shave, sometimes a shampoo and a massag ge. If fortune places him in New Britain on that day he gets neither of these treatments from a regulation barber, unless there is sought out al shop somewhere off the main thoroughfare or one violating the rule of the trade.
 Native New Britainers may not have occasion to complain at the practice of the barbers in closing their shops 
 on Monday afternoon at the unbecOm- ing hour of one o'clock. But there are hundreds of travelling men, yea, even thousands, who have set this town down as a freak along the route because it's barbers close the front door, put away the brush and lather, and go for an afternoon in the country while customers pound in vain for ad- mittance to the shop. Men have been known to stand outside barber shops in New Britain on Monday afternoon and swear vengeance on every man, woman and child in the town. Murder has been prevented on numerous oc casiOns only by the suave persuasiOnS of kindly tempered and good natured officers of the law. For, when a man is disappointed in his Monday after noon visit to the barber shop, crime is liable to be committed. After the great disappointments suffered by out of-town folk on this plaint we humbly suggest that the barbers get together in svnopathetic council and ferret out another day upon which to enjoy their half-holiday during the week.

An Editors Work.
Oakley, Kan, Graphic.) )


 This newspaper business is a great game. Just in the midst of an obit- uary of a dear friend and when hot tears threaten to flow down and blot out the words you write, there breaks through the door the radiant face or the daddy of a new boy. Tears and joy mingle In the same breath. and the giving and taking away of life are recorded on the same page.
 Before you have finished the obit- uary the breezy advance man for a comedy show pops in and asks you to write a scream for his Forty Fat. Frolicsome Fairies and how jealous they are. Before you have done with the kind words about your departed friend, the joy over the new baby and finished the showmans ad a fellow sneaks in to ask you to suppress the story of the fight that he was mixed up in. Then, after putting all the lace and trimmings on the brides wedding gown, dressing the groom in the conventional black and starting them off with congratulations and best wishes, you turn again to the tear side of life and write. But the stately ship moves on, to the haven under the hill; and, oh! for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that Is still"
 Then comes lulI and the old tvne- writer is content to record the conn monplace facts, knowing that just around the corner and each awaiting his turn stand Joy, Grief, Sorrow. Mirth, Sarcasm, Wit and Laughter.

 If there is anybody in the world DO deserves sympathy on a hot day is fat man. There is no reason the world why he should not be lowed to roll up his sleeves and len appear in company without his lllar. Why should he be coffined heavy black coat and stiff bosom irt, with cuffs attached, when a

 Tt is about time someone started

The king of the hard-rock men in this country is said to be Pat O'Neil of Seattle, whose gang has driven a railroad tunnel through Alaskan granite at the rate of foot an hour for months at a stretch. This is his explanation as to what the scholars call methOdOlOgy:
 I'm an American and I've worked in hard rock most all over America. So far as this making a record at the ideal rock to work in.

HWhen MT.

Then he was finally winded, after #ne thirty minutes of this exercise, #d started out on the European Aestion, he had a different proposi- n to handle. When harping on #sxico it is all right to tell where aesident Wilson has erred and to antion the names of those he should aye brought into subjection.- zerta, Villa, Carranza, ct al. When sP overseas policy looms up, how Yer, it is not well to mention Ger Rny, or England, or Kaiser Wilhelm, King George. Too many votes may sacrificed by telling what President #lson should have done in certain of Sese instances.

 For one hour and thirty minutes E. Hughes atta c4<ed the Wilson ad- Inistration. Any other administra- |n would have fallen long before |der such fire. Yet, during all that he, the Republican nominee ad- |nced no thought that has not been listed before the American public on
 yssaeeSf occasion. With the ssibIe exception of his definition of Dominant Americanism," and mewhat radical Republican ad- cacy of woman suffrage, there is thing new in the Hughes speech. Tery Republican politician from aine to California and back again lew almost to a word what MT. lghes was going to say days and aeks before he uttered a syllable of speech last night. This despite the ct that it was not given out one day
 advance. Every word, every sen- nee, every paragraph had been gone fer and polished Vp since the Chicago
 invention. Indeed, it is doubtful if .nator Harding did not give out the ivance notice of the whole argument hen he, as chairman, opened the |remonies in Chicago two months To. There is a familiar strain in the .tire product. It is the old Repub- Ian policy of "Blow a Man Down." matter how the job is done. To
