Rats and Fires.

At q time when everyone Is COM
planning Of the high cost Of living 1t
might be well to see If we cannot elm
inate two great sources Of waste-fires
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago a study Of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion that the rodents of that
city ate more than million dollars
worth Of food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $100,000,000 per year
to the whole country. This is pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
ionship Of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded Of
all diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out In premiums for fire
insurance $419,361, 346. OF this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing in England, France
or Germany; and even in our time and
nation S300,000,000 per year is a saw
ing worth noting, and one which
would have perceptible effect on the
cost Of living.

on Looks (?
BY DIR. L. II. sMITD

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the sys, EN- frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation Is Of the
simplest: Drink copiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as 1t is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
tects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt, due to uric acid In the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anuric.

Urge Job.Hunters to Enlist.

When Governor Gardner returns to
the capital the advisability of open
ing up a temporary recruiting station
at the capital will be suggested to
him as fine means of thinning out
large number of able-bodied can
didate who are ever on his heels
looking for job. 1t is believed that
IL these 1ob-hunters knew they would
be invited to enlist and show their
loyalty to the country that most of
them would stay at home
There are two recruiting stations
here now, one conducted by the gov
eminent and the other by Company
L of the Second Missouri, but third
one at the capitol where the candi-
dates could not dodge it while under
the observation of the governor, might
tend to reduce the number of patriots
who are willing to serve the state

Governor Gardner vetoed .appropria-
tons for $2,30O, 900 made by the Forty

biennial period. The appropriation
for every state educational, eleemosy-

every state department was reduced.
The looping off was necessary, the
governor said, to bring the appropria-
tons within the income which was a

made by Warden William R. Painter
the convicts will work 80 minutes

all work will cease at noon Saturday.
The rule in the past has been for

 Upon millions of acres of land in Western Texas bear grass grows pro fusely. it being possible to obtain two CT three tons per acre Of the plant in some localities It has long been known that the long slender blades of this species of wild vegetation con tain a strong fibre, but owing to the difficulty of decorticating them the plants have been utilized for the pur. pose comparatively little
 In Mexico, where bear grass also is indigenous, the natives obtain the fibre by crude means and it enters into the manufacture Of mating and bagging there to a considerable extent. In view of the extraordinary high price of sisaI fibre, fom which binder twine is made, the experiments which are 10 be conducted with the bear grass may prove Of great importance to the farmers and commercial interests gen. orally it is said.
 Considerable quantities Of bear grass have also been used during the past few years in the manufacture Of paper. Shipments aggregatiag several hund- red tons of the plant have been made from points in West Texas and Eastern

All experience and experiments have
shown that cows will give more milk
and keep in better condition il fed
grain when on pasture. Some expert
mcnts show that there is no imme-
date profit from feeding grain, the COW
merely paying for the feed at good
market prices, but only the short sight
ed man would fail to feed because OF
this, for it is the after effects that give
the profit.
The one who looks ahead realizes
that winter will come before his cows
freshen again and If they have been
allowed to decrease in milk flow during
the summer when milk is cheap. thew
cannot be induced to give large yield
when milk is high. In fact, there Is
but one conclusion to draw and one an,
swer to the question as to whether It
pays to feed cows grain on pasture or
ut any other time. If in order to keep
cows milking -persistently and at their
best it Is necessary to feed grain, then
it is advisable and profitable to do so,
provided good cows are kept under
comfortable conditions, for none other
than large, persistent milk and butter

approach the colt from sthe> side or

place the hands right OH his face to
start with. When one has gained; the
acquaintance nnd confidence he can
teach the colt through reward and cor
rection. If the.ealt does anything wrong
hesshoulds be corrected Immediately.
He should also be rewarded for acts
