THE AMERICAN GIRL.
Distinctive Points That Mark Her

Distinctive Points That Mark Her
 Racial Type.
 We may be asked, Well, what Is an American girl?" She is just this: A vital person, with a combination of health, vigor, wholesomeness and beau- ty, The fact that many American girls bavein some instances a certain amount of hereditary foreign blood makes them, as a class, a delightful combina- tion of personalities. The typical Amer ican girl Is usually described as being A tall. slender person, with free and graceful carriage, plenty of pOise and q face that bespeaks a well balanced mind. One is apt to visualize her as person who can adapt herself to any and all circumstances and be an inter- ested and interesting cOnverSationaiist in groups of young and old. Taking her all in all, she is a person who is delightful companion.
 The American girl is generally consid- cred beautiful. If technically analyz- ed. the main charm of her beauty lies In the fact that her features are chisel- ed. while many of her contemporaries are beautiful from the standpoint that their features are nodded. There is a subtle difference. It would be difficult to state authentically just what the coloring of the American girl is, for she is invariably q blending of nation alities and thus is q variation of type

Painted Flooro.

No floor is so bad but that it can be made presentable by painting. Two coats are usually necessary and after that one or two of varnish or shellac.- If the cracks are very wide they may be filled prior to painting. So many women feel that their floors are too bad to permit the use of rugs, but paint will work wonders.

 Philippine Fruits.
 There have been found in the Philip pines two fruits entirely unknown to Europe and even 10 America. One of these is the durian, which grows on a lofty tree somewhat resembling an elm is about as large as a cocoanut, has a shiny shell and contains a creamy pulp which combines some of the flavors of delicious custard with those of a fine cheese. American sol diers in the Philippines have dubbed the durian tLc vegetable limburger." The other rare fruit Is the mangosteen; but the cyQuisitCly favored liquid 1t contains has not yet been successfully preserved for shipping abroad.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is o Sign You Have
Been Eating too Much Neat, Which
Forms Uric Acid.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region II
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys In their effort
&c filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore. water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. ~ -
Either consult good reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharm@
acist about four ounces OF Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass Of water
before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This

grapes and lemon juice. combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to clean and stimulate sluggish
Kidneys. also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent nthia-water drink. advt-

LOOK LIKE VESTS
NAME TO Be LUCKY

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan 12.-Jonn l.
West, of Thomson. McDufae county,
will be the next United States judge In
the southern distcirt of Georgia, sue
ceeding the late Judge W. w. Lambdin'
unless all political signs and indica-
lions go astray.
His generally expected appointment
to this office by President Wilson Is a
raatter of more than usual interest be-
cause Of the various political angles
involved. .a,.s.,..
In the first place, Mr.. West Is an
ancient and inveterate enemy OF
Thomas E. Watson, whose vicious pers-
onal attack on President Wilson during
the presidential campaign was PROB
ably without precedent In American
history. Mr.. West has always fought
Watson in McDuf1e county and has
usually won, it being a well-knoWn
rule of Georgia politics that Watson's
home county always goes against him
In the next place, the card-writings
by Ex-Governor Joseph NJ. Brown and
G. Rufus Hutchens, in which they have
contended that the appointment OF the
federal Judge in the southern district
should be made without regard to
"factional lines" are generally con-
strued as thrusts at West, and by the
enemies of Watson are regarded as
factional utterances in themselves, In
view of the fact that Ex-Governor
Brown went to Augusta and testified
to Watson's good character when the
latter was recently on trial on the
charge of sending obscene literature
through the mails, and the further fact
that G. Rufus Hutchens ran as an IN
dependent Watson candidate for theU.
S. senate in 1914.

ATLANTA, Ca. Jan. 12.-Twenty-
rer cent net earnings is going some.
even for prosperous times, but the
trick has been turned by the Fourth
National Bank of this city, and affords
another striking evidence OF the wide
sperad prosperity Astounding In the
south, as the bank has extensive con
nections in this territory.
The Fourth Nationals net earnings
for 1916. in exact figures, were 2L1d
per cent on capital stock of $4,000
The stockholders were paid $4,000 In
dividends, $4,000 was added to undl-
vided profits, and the balance was sci
aside for interest and taxes. In COM
mon with other Atlanta banks. the
Fourth Nationals deposits showed an
enormous increase, the figure being
$3.S32.7S from December 30. 1915, to
the same date in 1916.

KENTUCKY PROFITS
BY TOBACCO CROP
DURING PAST YEAR

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 1z.-ken-
lucky farmers who raise approximate.
iy one third of the tobacco produced In
the United States, and about one-tenth
of the crop produced in the world, are
enjoying the unusual position of mark
citing for record-breaking prices
crop of almost record-breaking size.
In addition to being one OF the larg-
est crops ever produced in this state,
Kentucky's output this year is of I'M
Usual quality. Leaf, Tugs and trash, as
they are called in the Technology OF
be tobacco trade, are of the finest
haracter. The leaf tobacco Is long
lear leaf which comes from the mid
te of the plant; Tugs are the heavy
leaves, possibly spotted by the SOIL
which has been splashed on them by
rain, which grow at the bottom; while
trash is made up of small immature
teaf at the top of the plant.
So good has the quality been that
farmers are becoming accustomed to
receiving proportionately higher prices
fer the poorer grades that they do for
the best. The poorer grades are es-
sential to the production of certain
brands of manufactured tobacco and
the bidding for them has been keen.
Even frosted tobacco, which In former
years sold for one or two cents
pound. and was used only for the
making Of an extract shipped abroad
+. to be used In terrifying certain SORES
of foreign tobaccos, are bringing
prices farmers would have been glad
to obtain for trash Of the first grade
last year. f@lFt
Within recent years Kentucky farm
ers have received an average price for
all qualities of white hurley, the back
bone If the tobacco crop in this state
OF about $40 a hundred pounds. Sales
on the various markets this year
lake been at an average price of $l6
to $3.50 hundred pounds. The crop
of white hurley this year will run. well
over 200,OOO,OOO pounds.
Tobacco produced in the Black
Patch" or the dark tobacco region or
western and southern Kentucky has
experienced an advance in price even
more remarkable than that secured by
tie hurley Of the Blue Grass" section.
Pryor leaf" for which the farmers
within recent years was glad to get
an average price of five to six cents
pound, is now selling at approximately
twelve cents q pound. ....
Within the last few days. one farm
er sold his crop on the Greensboro
market at an average price thirty
cents a pound, breaking all previous
records, it is said, for prices paid for
this character of tobacco.
AS result of these conditions mil
lions of pounds of tobacco are being
rushed to market by the farmers of the
state each week, and it is estimated by
tobacco men that farmers have now
released greater portion of their
crop than has been out of their hands
at this season for many years.
Much Of this tobacco is sold on the
floors of small loose leaf" warehous'
es in the smaller towns, where the
weed is sorted as to quality and dis
played in open baskets for the inspec-
ton of buyers.
About 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds of tobacco
is sold each year on the Louisville
breaks" in hogsheads. This tobacco
is. sold on the basis of sample drawn
