M ake-Shift Remedies Are
 Absolutely Worthless

Don't think lightly of Ca tarrh. Do not make the mls- take of believing that it is mere ly an aggravated bad cold. True; this trouble usually starts with what is apparently a cold in the head, but beware of any cold that "hangs on" You may as we'll realize at the outset that Catarrh IS a serious disease and fne that should not be trifled Mwith. In fact, in many in stances it is a forerunner of the most dreaded of all diseases consumption.
 Catarrh has become almost a universal ailment among the A m rican people. Almost everywhere, in theatres, cars and on the streets there is a constant sniffling and hawking, for there is bound to be some one in almost every place who is afflicted with catarrh. And everyone is a possible victim, for the germs of the disease are easily communicated from one person to another.
 So many people afflicted with this disease have been unable to find cure, although they have taken many different kinds of treatment for years, until now they are almost willing to \. relieve the disease is incurable. Like Nverything else, to find relief from this \ x Yease. the proper treatment must be N esorted to. No other kind can be ex- pected to do any good.

PIG IRON MAKES ADVANCE
 TO A MINIMUM OF S26

ruary, while the increase to $26 became effective yesterday with some interests.
 Those in touch with the market predict that by midsummer pig iron will attain the $50 mark. In- asmuch as virtually all of the To- cal producers have sold heavily into the last half of 1917, 1t seems not improbable that another ad- vance of at least $1 ton will he made within the next 10 days.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL Ii F A R N c IN MARCH
ms Is One of the Most Important Matters Ever Before Commission. -~ Judge Pelham Said to Have
 Fighting Chance
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, February 2S-(Special.) ) negotiations have been concluded between HuFefnor Henderson and the National Fark bank of New York whereby that institution will finance the state during the 10 months beginning March 1. A great majority of the states warrants during ehe summer months will bear a blue slip, Nthlch will make them New York ex- enange, and will cause them to be de- hvered promptly to the National Park bank, which will hold them until Jan- uary l, 1918. No information has been gwen out about the rate of interest which VIII De paid by the state. but it is greater oy a small amount than the rate ob- tanned last year. This is because of the bad international condition, the banks de- siring to hold their money in order that they may be of assistance to the na- ton in the event it is needed.

The railroads propose to change entirely the system of rate mak- ing. They desire rates on the long and short haul principle, which has received the approval of the interstate commerce commission and which has been at issue in Georgia for many months. Hearings in that state have been practically com- peted but the commission has not reached a decision. The commission Wednesday announced that it had ac- cepted an invitation of the joint com mttee on tariff and accounting officers of the railroads for a conference March G. The invitation was rendered through C. T. Airey, freight traffic manager of the Central of Georgia railroad. The gen eral petition of the railroads for the aban- donment of the present rates and the substitution of the long and short haul principle was filed May 13, 1916, but was postponed at the request of the railroads, which desired to complete the hearings in Georgia before entering into the Alabama case.

The Real Remedy

The Treasury Department is said
to be feeling some disquietude over
the continued large shipments of gold
from this country to Japan; and steps
have been taken to discourage the
movement. These steps consist in
instructing the sub-treasury at San
Francisco not to redeem gold certifi-
Gates, upon the ground that they are
legally redeemable only at Washing
ton. This means that shipments of
gold from Pacific ports to Japan must
be subject to the additional charge
for transportation from Washington
to the Coast and puts gold at a prem
ium everywhere except at Washing
ton; and is indicative of an inflated
currency.
No restraint of this kind can check
the flow of American gold to Japan.
1t is sent there in settlement of a
trade balance which is increasingly
to our detriment because of the con-
stantly charging amount of our pur-
chases from japanese manufacturers
an producers. The real remedy fol-
the loss of gold to Japan is to raise q
Tariff on articles which Japan is sell
ling to US and which find a reader
entrance to our market since the
Democratic reduction in the produc-
ton which Republican Tariff. laws
gave to American industries. -Au.

From the Prisons to the Army and
NAVY

The increase of Juvenile crime, or
what appears to be a tendency there
to in warning countries, has in some
instances offset in the Improvement
of adult INSIDERS. This is noticed
in England, where inmates of prisons
have been drafted into the Army with
surprising results. The idea of util-
izing these restrained citizens for ser
vice at the front encountered objec-
ton when it was first preached, says
Mr.. Edwin Pugh, the well known Eng
lish novelist, writing in the London
Daily Mail. Against the argument
that allowing them to fight for their
king and country would be given
them chance to redeem their past
and regain their self-respect, it was
urged that soldiers of the new Army
would "most strongly and quite rea-
sonably object to having consort with
criminals" So the idea was apparent
ly dropped. But a little while ago
it was officially announced that over
1000 out of Is, 200 cOnvicts and 9TH
ed minor misdemeanants had been
permitted to volunteer for active ser
vice, and that the vast majority of
them had made good. The authori-
ties felt justified in enlisting mature
convicts from experience with youths
taken from reformatories and indus
trial schools, of whom some four
thousand were first enrolled in the
Army and Navy A careful record
OF these so-called ne'er do wells pre-
sents both dark and bright side:
To take the darker side first: $50
were killed in action, 40 died of
wounds, Is die dof sickness, and
1880 were more or less seriously
wounded. From this it will be seen
that more than half of them gave their
lives or suffered Some grievous hurt in
their country's cause.
Now to take the brighter side of
record: 20 were mentioned in dis
patches, 25 received the D. c. NJ, 8
were given commissions, and 8 re-
ceived the V. G..

cent, of these lads achieved some
high distinction-a truly marvellous
result, unexcelled, if not unparallel-
ed, by the record of any other regi-
ment engaged in this war.
Now let US set beside these facts
and figures the current statistics
which would seem to prove that there
has been a great increasae in juve-
nile crime lately. Does it mean that
there is a new spirit of lawlessness
abroad which has so infected the
younger generation that they are
more wicked than they used to be?
! think not I think that if we call
this new spirit a spirit of adventure
rather than a spirit of lawlessness we
shall get nearer the truth. I think
that it is more often this higher spirit
born of misguided courage and mis-
taken enterprise. Digest.

Not only does this cool the milk
but some of the bad flavor of fresh
milk may be eliminated by exposure
to pure air. The temperature of the
milk will depend upon the GOODNESS of
the water used. If the milk is to be
sold it should be kept cool by allow
ing the cans to stand in a tank of

If only cream is sold from the farm
the milk should be separated imme-
diately after milking and the cream
cooled at once. The keeping quality
of the butter made from this cream
will depend upon the way the cream
IS handled at the farm Creamery men
are coming to realize that in order
to produce a good quality of butter
they must have good cream to start
with and in many places they are pay
ing q permium to the farmers who
deliver the cream of good quality.
Cream must be cooled Immediately
after being separated, and any other
cream that is separated later should
be cooled before being added to the
first cream The cream, If delivered
three times week during the summer
should reach the creamery in first

The cheapest and most simple ar

The time when an author may do
his best work is a much-disputed ques-
ton and an interesting one. It de-
ponds, of course. largely upon the

upon his habits. The common belief

that their best work is done at night.

Manhattan, Kans. Aug. Cit is
best to leave potatoes in the ground
as long as possible after the vines
have matured, provided the weather
remains dry and hot, according to NJ
F. Agearn, associate professor of
horticulture in the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
If this method is followed the
weeds should be permitted to grow
for the purpose of shading the ground
and preventing sunburn and also to
take up the moisture in case of rain
IN August Rains followed by hot
days and nights will cause the pota-
toes to start a second growth or to
rot. Potatoes left in the ground ill
late fall should be hilled if the weeds
are not present in sufficient quanti-
ties to shade the ground.
There are many ways of storing po-
tatoes in the winter A small acre
age may be stored in pits, dugouts
and cellars. The tubers kept best at
a temperature of from 81 to So de-
grees. A higher temperature when
the potatoes are first stored viii not
hurt them. When stored in the eel
lar the potatoes should be placed in
bins to the depth of about one foot,
or better IN boxes raised a few inch
eS from the HOOr.
Parsnlps, carrots, turnips and beets
will KEEP fresh, and whole and will not
shrlvel up if they are stored in, boxes
tllled with sand. They should not be
packed too close together, but some
of the sand should be allowed to get
in around the roots.
Celery may be stored in the same
manner. The plants just as they are
pulled from the ground should be
placed IN the boxes. The plants
should be stood up, and sand should
be packed IN around them
