NOTED LECTURER SPEAKS

Mrs. Francis Drake, noted temper
ance lecturer was in Kimberly under
the auspices of the local w. c. T. u,
Wednesday. She lectured in the after
noon at the Christian church and in
the evening at the Methodist church.
Mrs. Drake is a great student of So
cial conditions and home life, and
while she is temperance educator
and prohibition champion, she is also
devoting much of her time to social
and moral uplift along other lines, and
in improving the moral conditions of
the home Mrs. Drake recognizes the
home as the base and foundation of
orderly government and society and
believes that moral uplift and social
education should by all means begin
there with the parents as the teach
ers and molders of individual charac-
ter The morals of society depend
greatly upon the individuals concep-
ton of what is right and what is
wrong. The proper cultivation of this
conception rests ordinarily with the
teachers of childhood days.

BASIS OF MODERN STATUTES
Common Law Grew Up Gradually
From Old Maxims and Customs
Antedating Art Of Printing.

Common law is the basis upon which
our modern statutes are built. Com
mon lay generally is based upon the
English common law which was used
by the early settlers. This English
common law grew up gradually from
old maxims and customs which were
practiced previous to the time of print
ing, or, to use the quaint legal phrase,
time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary"
Many of these customs originated in
the old feudal days, and concern the
relationships between lords and vas
sails. The more powerful a lord was
the better able he was to see that
those customs were enforced which
best suited his purposes, and in this
way the law became established. AS
the social order changed, the common
law changed with it. With the ad-
vance in civilization these changes
were preserved in written form, and
the unwritten or common law, COM
bined with the changes and additions
made in it by the various acts of par
lament, became the law of the land.

Kidney Diseases.

Nearly all diseases Of the kidneys
are due to salt. If you are suffering
with" or from" your kidneys, the
first thing to do is to smash all your
medicine bottles; cut out salt and
sugar from your meals and go on the
fruit-cereal diet. Steamed asparagus
is the best thing in the world for your
kidneys and bladder. Parsley is good
for victims of kidney diseases; so also
is water cress in the form of salad
but no saltl One should not eat too
freely of parsley. Parsley will aid the
eyesight by restoring the kidneys to
their proper function; but overdoses
of parsley damage the vision. Pears
are the very best of fruit for victims
of kidney disease. But no matter the
nature or the name of your kidney
disease, you can get over it by follow
ing the instructiOns.-Los Angeles

ISLAND CAPITAL IS PRETTY
Under French Regime Antananarivo Is
Becoming One of Most Beautiful
of African Cities.

Antananarivo, which is the capital
Of the Island Of Madagascar, off the
coast of Africa, has a splendid situa-
ton and under the French regime bids
fair to become one Of the most beautl-
full of African cities. 1t is located
in one of the upland plains which are
the granaries Of Madagascar, at an ele-
walton of more than 5000 feet above
sea level. The city occupies a high,
narrow, rocky ridge, rising sharply
about GOO feet above the pale green
spread of the rice fields. It's splendid
stone churches, government buildings,
schools and colleges are finely set Off
by this situation. Excellent streets
connect all parts of the town that are
accessible to vehicles, and stone stair
ways scale the sleeper hills. There is
a beautiful public square, terraced and
filled with trees and flowers.
Long before the French came to
Madagascar Antananarivo was the
principal village of the HOva chiefs
The Hovas were the strongest tribe
of the native Malagasy race and they
slowly conquered the greater part Of
Madagascar, forming it into a native
kingdom, which was rapidly advancing
toward a sort of civilization. Antan-
anarivo became a city of $4,000 people
built Of rushes and wood, with a great
wooden palace upon its highest hill.
A unique civilization might have
been developed by the Hovas had not
France invaded Madagascar. She con
Quered the natives in the war of 1882
and finally took over the entire island
as a colony. 1t was regarded as a
high-handed proceeding and for time
it worked great hardship on the ma
tives, but in the long run their lot has
been greatly improved.

Little Puffer Escapes From Danger by

1t is doubtless true that there are

there are in many ways equally as

the hungry soup attacked at once. In

Fiscal Years.

Fiscal year means the treasury year
or period for which government ap-
preparations and reports are made, and
accounts are rendered. The govern
ment fiscal year in Great Britain and
in Germany ends March 81; in the
United States on June 30, and in
France on December 80. AS it always
relates to government finances, 1t might
be called the financial year. The word
fiscal is derived from the Latin fiscus,
a basket, and may relate to some re-
mote period of primitive simplicity
when a money basket served as gov
eminent treasury. Since the organiza-
ton of the United States government
the term fiscal year has meant from
June 80 of one year to July 1 of the
next year.

Of the yacht.
The cabin was built on the
stage at the Lasky Studio on
huge rockers to initiate the roll
of the boat. When it was ex-
planned to her that it was the ac-
lion for the boat she refused to be
convinced that anyone could get
seasick undergoing such a delight

A few minutes later it was no
ticed that the Huff complexion
was beginning to take on a faint

she dashed from the stage in the
direction of her dressing room.
Mr.. Lou Tellegen, the director,
and the rest of the company knew
that she was convinced.

LaFOllette Has Eight Items to Add to Government War Tax
 Bill
(By Associated Press Dispateh)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Senator LaFolettte introduced to day eight amendments to the war tax bill pro- viding for levies on war profits, rang ing from 76 to As per cent.
 Senator LaFollettte is determined in his stand to force payment for the war as much as possible on this gen eration and to make those who stand to profit most, on account of the war demands, pay most of the cost.
 During the discussion this morning the Senate by a vote of 39 to 20, struck out the provision of the war tax measure levying one-cent tax on all letters and postcards, which was designed to raise S50,OOO,OO0. The Senate later eliminated the entire sec tion levying taxes on first-class mail, but retained that section which gives American soldiers abroad the privilege of mailing letters without postage.
