Took His Conceit Away.

In a candy store on Fulton street
the other day young man said many
annoying sentimental things to one
of the pretty saleswomen. She tried
to appear not to notice his imperti-
nence, since her duty there is to sell
candy, but when she had made the.
sale and he still continued his OBJ
jectionable advances she turned her
big, round, innocent looking eyes up
to him and, in her most winsome way,
said:
II wonder if you know why you re-
mind me of our candies?"
The young man was evidently en-
couraged. He smiled his most fetch
ing smile, twisted his little mustache
and said:
well, you remind me of candy be-
cause you are so sweet. Now, why
do remind you of candy?"
For an answer she merely pointed
to the sign in the window, which
said: Fresh every hour
By the time he had seen the point
she was too busily engaged with an
other customer to pay any further
attention to him,-Brooklyn Eagle.

OUR POTASH LAKE.
The Greatest Deposit in the World
is i'm California.

At last the bill permitting devel-
opment of what has been called by
chemists "the greatest known deposit
of potash in the world has been
passed by both the senate and the
house. This deposit is in the briny
waters of Searles Lake, California,
and, as the lake and surrounding land
had been withdrawn by the govern
ment from the operation of mining
laws, new legislation was required be-
fore it could be taken out. During
the last three years and before the
present session the needed bill had
been passed twice in the house, but
action by the senate was prevented.
In years preceding the war our sup
ply of potash came from Germany.
Imports in 1913 were $4,000 tons;
last year only 10000 tons we're re-
ceived, and there has been an extra
ordinary advance of price. Search
for deposits in our own country has
not been fruitful, if Searles Lake be
excepted. Small quantities have been
taken from feldspar, alunite, and sea-
weed, but our output in the first half
of the present year was only $4,000
tons. Volcanic rocks in Wyoming
contain much potash. The Geological
Surveys estimate is that nearly 2OO,-
100000 tons lie there, but it was
said in the house debate that no work
able process for extracting the min
eral had been found.
In the California lake, whose area
is $4,000 acres, there is a great sup
ply. and it can be made ready for the
market at reasonable cost. The Geo.
logical Survey and the Bureau of
Mines say that the lakes waters hold
in solution 2O,O00,000 tons. In let
ter to the house committee on public
lands a few days ago, George Otis
Smith, director of the Survey, said:
Il see no way to increase this out
put (of $4,000 tons in six months)
on anything like the scale needed,
and especially from a source that
may be expected to permit competl-
tion with the German potash, except
by opening up the Searles Lake under
the best possible conditions, which l
think are provided in the measure
which the committee has reported.
Secretary Lane, in letter to the
same committee, showed how agricul-
tural yield per acre was increased by
potash fertilizer, and said he regard
ed the bill as an important war
measure" 1t was supported by the
Council of National Defense. Two
companies that have reduction plants
near at hand will now acquire by

N. E. CHURCH'S PASTOR
PRAISES IRON REMEDY.

DAUGHTER UP 70 DIE.-NO

COULD LIVE.

Through Use of Acid Iron Mineral;
Daughter was Restored to
Health, Says Rev. O.
b. Newton.

The following tribute to a medi-
cine from Reverend Doctor o. B..
Newton, pastor M. E. church, speaks
volumes for the medicinal value of
natural iron as it is now concentrat-
ed, tested, and bottled by the Ferro-
dine Chemical Corp, under the name
of Acid Iron Mineral. He said:
My little girl suffered from gas
tritis, acute Bright's disease and de-
veloped symptoms of pellagra. For
several months she was an Invalid
and reduced almost to skeleton. No
one who saw her thought she could
possibly live. The best medical skill
available was applied but with no re-
suits. She only grew worse until
physicians told us not to be surprls-
ed at her death at any time. Our at
tention was first called to kidney
and bladder pill and we gave her
part of one fifty-cent bottle, after
which we gave her Acid Iron Mineral
regularly. She is now we'll and has
all her faculties we'll developed again
and you would not guess she had ev-
er had a sick day in her life by her
appearance. We have recommended
AIM to several parties and do most
heartily recommend it to any one suf-
fering from any trouble which it
claims to relieve. Respectfully,
(Signed) 20. B. NEWTON,

Unlike many prepared remedies
containing iron, Acid Iron Mineral
does not act as laxative, but the
necessity of keeping the liver and
bowels working normally being so
apparent, the Ferrodine Chemical
Corp. puts up an AIM Liver Pill in
25c boxes, which are recommended
as part of the treatment when using
Acid Iron Mineral These little pills
are the best we can recommend and
are very inexpensive,
Note.-Acid Iron Mineral is just
a highly concentrated form OF natur-
al medicinal iron, non-alcoholic and
very economical. Whole families
should take it. 1t never Injuries the
teeth, goes from two to six times as
far and is many times more powerful
and efficient than other inferior prep
arations. A half teaspoonful in a
tumbler of water after meals makes
a delightful, invigorating and most
unusual tonic, stomach, kidney and

A Proper Distinction.

Here is a story of John Fiske,
which illustrates his frankness:
1t seems that one day his wife had
to report to him that their son had
been guilty of calling Mrs. Jones, a
neighbor, a fool, and Mr.. Jones a
much worse fool.
Professor Fiske sent for the young
ster and when he appeared in the IL
brary said to him sternly: My son,
is it true that you said Mrs. Jones
was a fool?"
Hanging his head, the boy replied:
Yes, father, l did
And did you call Mr.. Jones a
worse fool?"
Yes, father"
After a moments reflection, the
famous historian said slowly, We'll,
my son, that is just about the distinc-
ton l should make. boston Record.
