more than mere lamp of earth; the
clouds, the rain, the wind. all possess
new meaning to him who has studied
the forces that create them. And with
this new meaning comes added interest
and zeal that tighten labor.
What is more wonderful than the
matter of inoculatlng legumest Up
until less than fifty years ago. while
we knew that iegumes enriched land,
we did not know how and why. But
the investigators were not satisfied.
They kept on, and finally gave to the
world the fact that tiny organisms
called bacteria live on the legume roots
in vast numbers, taking nitrogen from
the ayr that is IN the soil and convert
ing it into form IN which plants can
use 1t.
Different kinds of ,legumes require
different kinds of bacteria. and unless
these~are present they aust be added
before the particular legume needing
them can succeed.
Oh what is more wonderfully inter

PAPER MILK BOTTLES
Wood Pulp Bottle Used Once; Machine
Made 5000 an Hour.

In many of the cities Of the country
there has been much complaint Of tho
unsanitary l:ondition OF the bottles in
which milk Is delivered to the consum-
er. Some cities have gone so far as to
condemn them and forbid their use.
That has brought about the manufac-
ture OF a paper bottle that cannto be
used the second time and must be cast
aside or destroyed. A machine has
been invented that cost SIS, 600 and is
81 feet long, is operated by three men
and turns out bottles at the rate of five
thousand an hour.
1T is radical departure from pre-
vious contrivances in that it manufac-
lures the new bottles direct from
wood pulp rather than from a finished
paper, as is the case Of practically all
the containers on the market today.
This feature enables 1t to turn out the
completed product at very low cost
milk dealer. 1t is claimed that the
new paper bottle is cheaper in the
long run than the common glass bottle
in use at the present time.
From beginning to end the milk
bottle Is handled only by steel fingers
so that the apparatus meets all sanl-
tary requirements. The pulp used is
what is known as mechanical pulp, but
the process does not require exclusive
ly the high-prlced paper pupil. In fact,
it IS said that any tibrOus wood will
work as well as the customary spruce.
which is fast becoming scarce on ac-
count of the tremendous amount of it
consumed in this country tor the man
ufacture of paper. Less than halt an
ounce of wood-pulp is required to make
one of the new sanitary bottles and
one ton of pulp will produce 60, 900 con-
tainers.
1.-THE process OF manufacture is
simple. A steel core is dlpt into a
tank of raw pulp. and, by means of
four clamps, the pulp is prest around

much as sculptor would press soft
clay into shape with his hands. Dur
ing this operation the bottle revolves
three complete times, the clamps
pressing at every one-thlrd turn. Thus
the paper and the bottle are formed in
one and the same operation. The bot
tie next passes through powerful
urier and over stencil cut, which
prints on 1t the name of the milk-deal-
err, the capacity of the bottle, etc. 1t
is then removed from the core by
steel hand and deposited on a betl-con-
veyor which delivers it to machine
that crlmps on the bottom and top.
The bottle IS then given q paraflin bath
that renders It impervious ollquid or
acid and is automatically packed IN
lust proof cartons Tor delivery 10 the
lealer. The operation IS continuous
md It taxes about eight minutes to
the raw pulp into the COM
)leted bottle. The Literary Digest.

FROM OKLAHOMA.
Wheat Prospects Poor and Rain Badly
Needed for all Crops.

Lone Volt. Okla, Route 4, Box 90,
April 10, 1917 $50.
Dear Editor:
This leaves Oklahoma dry and
windy. We have had the driest and
windiest winter and spring Of any in
the nine years | have been here. =
We had big rain last fall, Oct.
10Th, and that was all until April 10th,
when we had about one.halt inch of
rain. 1t did the wheat quite bit of
good, but we will have to have more
ram pretty soon If there IS any wheat
made.
/ went to Memphis, Texas, last week
In car. That is about lone hundred
and ten miles west of here, and they
had poorer prospects for wheat than
this part of Oklahoma.
But very few people have put cut
any garden and what has been planted
end come up, has nearly all died, but
everything is looking some better since
the rain.
/ have sixty acres of wheat and
about eighty acres to cultivate in corn,
cotton, kaffir corn and water melons.
1 own an eighty acre farm one mile
south and two miles west of Lone
Wolf, and like this country fine, If we
could get little more ram.
Tell all the peopie3in Crossvile Hello
for me. Tell them if we could get
about weeks rain like they have
there some times, that every farmer in
the state of Oklshoma would be as
proud of 1T, as young rooster Is Of his
first pair Of spurs.

MEAT CAUSE OF
LAME BACK AND
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid

Noted Authority Says Uric Acid From
Meat Initiates the
Bladder.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headaGse, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment: the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you to get up two or there times dur
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous
waste get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine and
bladder disorders disappear. This ia

CHANGE IN POS tai
RATES IN EFFECT

Washington, D. c., Oct. 31.-The
rying the letter in his pocket that his
wife gave him to mail several weeks
ago should not fail to drop it in the
box today, for tomorrow it will cost
him so per cent more for postage.
Most persons, doubtless, regard the
increased letter mail rates as "some"
increase, to use popular slang
phrase. But these persons belong to
the younger generation, who have
never had experience with any other
rate than the two-cents per half-ounce
rate which ends today. The older
generation can easily recall the day
when the three-cent rate prevailed,
while many persons still living can
look back to the time when they
hailed with delight the establishment
of three-cent postage as a big reduc-
ton over the rates they had been
paying.
Three-cent postage was first intro
duced in 1851. four, years after post
age stamps first came into general
use in the United States. When first
introduced the there-cent rate was
limited to distances of less than 5000
miles, and the prepayment of the
postage was optional. The three-cent
rate prevailed until 1883, when, by
act of Congress, the postage on first
class mail matter was reduced to two
cents per half ounce.
While the increase in the letter
mail postage is in reality only re-
turn to the rates which prevailed up
to 1888, the increase in the postal
card rate to two cents is an entire
novelty. Since postal cards were first
provided for by act of Congress in
1872 they have always sold for one
cent.
