Died Of Premature Old Age!

Died of Premature Old Age !
How many times we hear Of compara-
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 20 or 80 years
Of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys
degenerate, it causes auto-intoxication.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the quicker will those
noble organs be degenerated, and the
sooner they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long life,
to tighten the work Of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty of pure
water all day long, and occasionally taxi
Ing q little Anuric before meals. This
can be obtained at almost any drug store.
You will find Anuric more potent than
ithia for it dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.

Our Sauer Kraut Feed.

Our Sauer hraut FeeQ.
I consider Horticulture one of the
most interesting and practical sub
jects taken in the agricultural line.
Everything taken under it is of use
to the student. At this time it is
especially important that everyone
should put special emphasis on raising
crops and vegetables. There is such
a shortage of fod on account TO the
war, that even girls can help in in
creasing the supply.
With the knowledge we have OBJ
tanned in studying vegetable garden
ing, fruit growing and soil, l think
any of US could raise small garden
successfully and with comparatively
little work.
We have taken walks to various
gardens and studied the vegetables
grown in them. These trips are en-
pertaining as we'll as educational. The
stunt I consider the most entertain
ing though, was our Sauer Kraut feed
AS we all know, sauer kraut is a
form of cabbage and as cabbage is a
garden vegetable, that was the start
of our feed. We studied sauer kraut
making under cabbage. Trying a
thing is worth more than just reading
it so we decided to make some sauer
kraut.
So we made sauer kraut. Each girl
bringing a head Of cabbage. We made
it at the usual class period, half Of the
other half sailing and stamping it.
Mr.. Stephl was foreman of the crew
We made it in a large stone jar and
packed it we'll and put weights on il
and waited for results. They were
fine. Then we planned what to dc
with it and the only thing was to have
a feed. We obtained Mr.. Aygarn's
permission to have it in the Domestic
Science department.
needn't tell what we had with
the sauer kraut for that can be guess
ed when I say the class is German.
Everyone present at our feed said thu
sauer kraut was tip-top. And it GER
tainly was. The whole crowd wa!
well satisfied with the results of ou
feed. So you see what we Learned

option forces and has established
headquarters at Virginia. Inasmuch
as Duluth, the largest city on the
Iron Range, is dry, the prohibition
forces believe that they can extend
the dry zone so as to take in the en-
tire territory. That the mine oper-
ators favor the wlping out of the
saloon is generally known and if such
is the case the '41or dealc.', will
have hard time getting by. If
liquor consumption could be con-
fined to beer and light wines the mine

ditions are menace both to life and
property.
Accepting at thai.. face value the
statements of the metropolitan press
divulging that the railroads of the
Northwest are making enormous
earnings, it is quite clear that the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commissioners were on the right track
when they went to Washington to
oppose the demand of the railroads
of the country for level increase Of
Is per cent in freight rates. The
railroads made formidable showing
in Washington, there is no doubt of
that, and they also had some good
campaign material with the high and
growing cost of coal. the tremendous
increase in the cost Of locomotives and
rolling stock, the universal. increase
of wages and then the Adamson law.
The southern and eastern state COM
missions were not represented at the
hearing and apparently had conclud-
ed that the contemplated raise in
rates was foregone and that it was
useless to resist. An analysis of the

the railroads will ever again, while
the war is on, have an opportunity to
make such a poor showing as during
the winter of 1861.
The controversy between the state
high school board and the governor,
relative to the latter's proposition to
pay the state school deficit out of the
regular fund appropriated by the last
legislature, has taken a new turn. 1t
will be remembered that the deficit
was provided for but that the amount,
better than 100000, was vetoed by
the governor. The new feature is a

Why Some Men Make Better Execu-
tives Than Others.
AS we look at the large. manufac-
turing plants scattered over our
country, we see the difference in their
management. Some seem to be getting
the best results from their employees,
others have employees who are in
different and dissatisfied. And as we
study conditions more closely, we find
that the executives having control of
the various departments are largely
responsible for the standing of the
mandatory.
There are two classes of executives.
Those that are natural leaders of
men and those thar have been educat-
ed to fill the position of leader.
In each case, the executive must be
educated but the man who is a natural
leader of men gets alnng the best in
his work. Of course, he must learn
about his work; but after that is
dneo, the rest is easy, because he
knows the way to treat the people
under him. He knows their needs, he
knows whe nthey are dissatisfied, and
which ones Are dissatisfied. He
knows which ones are DONG their best
and which ones are sinking. And as
a result, he knows how to treat each
problem that comes before him so
that his department runs like a we'll
oiled machine.
Then take the man who has esrer-
tally educated himself to be the execu-
tive of some branch. He knows the
need of the department but he DIES
not know how to deal with the diff
ferent classes of men under him. He
does not know when the men are
dissatisfied. He knows the work IS
not up to the standard but he can in
no way raise it. If thsre is trouble,
he discharges the supposed leader bot
another leader springs up and the
controversy goes on. He cannot keep
the work up to the standard, AID the
condition grows worse. He says des-
pairingly 81 am not natural leader,
I do not understand men.

sary is to herd cattle, enjoy the
scenery, take cross counery rides,
"bust bronchos" and fight coytes.
These western fiction stories also
show this life as extremely perilous
and romatic. They are generally very
sentimental and full OF narrow
escapes.
But how would the west progress II
it's people didn't work? Young peo-
pie generally want to go west, they
think they can get great deal OF pay
for a little work; they also think they
can herd cattle and horses and lead a
wild western life similar to that of
Buffalo Bill. But that is impossible
in as late time as this. Twenty or
thirty years ago when the land west
of the Mississippi was one vast
range, upon which thousands of cat
tie and horses fed, that idea might
have been permissible. Now most OF
the country is divided up into farms.
If you stop and think about it, life
in the west can't possibly be as nice
as the stories try to make out. For
work stands in the path of success no
matter where you are.

Camden. l imagined that ne was

The day arrived on which the game
was to be played. l was one of the
first to be at the station when their
team arrived. A bunch of huskies
Jumped off. 1 noticed they all were
large. One small fellow umped of
the last one. I asked Camden man
if the little fellow was their mascot.
He looked painfully surprised and
said "why no that fellow is Bert
Smith our greatest player" l was
dumfounded but took more notice OF
him as he went to the gym. He was
perhaps five feet eight tall and not
very heavy set.
That afternoon in the game he more
than held up his reputation when ne
tore through our team every time ne
was given the ball. l went home sat

A Fine Oak Tree.

{ It is a fine oak tree; and l never
see it without thinking of king or
some royal person.
There is something about this tree
that seems so different from the 9TH
ers. It is very tall, straight and dig
nifed looking. 1t stands apart from
the rest, as though it thinks it is too
grand and stately to mingle with the
more common trees. Its golden brown
leaves have covered the ground, MAX
ing it look as if it were covered by a
golden carpet the symbol of royalty
When the wind blews, it losses Its
magnificent head and then bows to
this and that side just like a king
bowling haughtily to his subjects.
This tree seems to be very vain ano
proud and strives to appear the all
est and most beautiful tree in that
forest, and l really think it is.

does not propose to put his fingers
in the wringer.

One of the school officials opposing
the governor is C. G. Schultz, state
superintendent of instruction. His
prominence in the controversy has
brought him to the attention of the
king makers and in consequence he IS
mentioned as republican gubernator-
ial possibility. Mr.. Schultz is strong
in educational circles and is well
known in every school district in the
state. If he did get into the game
the fight would be pretty one.
