SURVIVAL OF THE FLEETEST
Ability Of Hog TO outrun Darky Gets

ern Swine Exhibit.

An ex-governor Of Georgia, and ex
ofiicio an expert on hogs, was invited
to Judge the swine at an Indiana cOun-
ty fair. He looked over the pens, and
the choice narrowed down to two hogs,
one magnificent animal Of the Indi-
ana corn-fed variety, Of tremendous
weight, and the other lean and rangy
specimen, whose pedigree must have
embraced a large number of razor
backs. The governor, after an appro-
pirate judicial interval, pinned the blue
ribbon on the rangy one. A friend
nudged his elbow.
Governor" he said, there's been
some mistake. Look at the weight OF

"Son," returned the governor, down

The author of Children of the Dead

without honor save in his own coun-

The villagers, with all of whom he

written bad book, he was told, and
it followed. therefore, that he must
be bad man.

How is it that the place of descent is

100000 homes wastes on average
the country is throwing away daily
over 14,000,000 ounces of flour-over

there would be a waste of over

WHAT YOU CAN'T CAN
10y Mary Elizabeth Rodhouse)

When you have canned and picked
and preserved all the fruit and veg
etables your family can use and your
cans and bottles and jars will hold !,
when you have offered to give some
TO your neighbors, and found that
they, too. have a superfluity, and
when you can't even sell what you
have because everyone in your little
town is raising the same, what are
you going to do about it?
| wish there could be a plan some
thing like this:
Have a committee in each unit as
determined upon, the township for
instance, make house to house can
vass to find out just who has or will
have extra fruit and vegetables and
on what condition they would be will
ing to, dispose of them. Then have
the local committees cooperate with
a committee in the nearest center
where the food could be used, and
have donated automobiles and volun-
teers go out after it-then dispose Of
1t in the best way.
| believe If some plan like this
could be carried out Systematically
all over the country, great deal of
food would be saved which otherwise
would be wasted. Now is the time
to do 1t.
But in the absence of an organized
plan don't let your garden and orch.
ard stuff waste. If you can't use ii
all yourself make it point of pa
triotism to see that someone else
has it. Don't let your apples rot on
the ground even If you have to do
the work yourself and then pay to
get them to someone else. Make it
not a question Of dollars but of
service. Think of the boys in the
trenches and their sacrifice, and
don't waste ammunition.

SALTS # KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
Ee irritating acids-Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and infame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck Of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary Or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

Jacketed Shrapnei.

The much discussed steel trench hel.
NETS used by the allied troops as a
protection against shrapnel may be
rendered useless through the invention
of a Canadian. The use of helmets
and breastplates TO resist shrapnel
has been possible on account of the
comparatively low velocity of these
leaden balls which are sprayed out
when the shell bursts over the
trenches; the soft lead of the bullets
fiattens against the steel with little eff
feet. The Canadian inventor, as told
in the Scientific American, has de-
vised jackets for shrapnel bullets, Ell
Their of steel or copper nickel, which
give them greater penetrating power.

BOBBS' WITS WERE NIMBLE
But So Was His Money and He Had
to Do Some Quick Thinking to
Get Out of a Bad Fix.

Bobbs was quick-witted chap.
Only one other possession of his was
as nimble as that wit of his, and that
was his money. He was always broke,
and always reckless withal. He took
a cab once, being bit unsteady, to
convey him from the club to his dwell
ing, the latter some distance. The cool
night air blowing through the open
windows sobered him enough to per-
nit of his realizing that he had not
money to pay the claimants fare, says
London Tit-Bits.
Just at that moment the driver made
that very usual inquiry:
"What address did you say, sir?'
And Bobbs said, promptly, doctor
So-and-So," such street and number,
the same being round the corner from
his own abode. The house reached,
BObbs dashed up the steps, rang the
bell furiously, implored the doctor to
go at once with his instruments to
such and such house, the lady being
In dying condition from an accident.
A cab was at the door, and would
the doctor take the cab? The doctor
would. Bobbs huddled him In, gave
the driver an address. and then started
off to telegraph to the lady's brother.
OF course Bobbs went home round the
corner, and Of course the cabman
searched in vain for the number, and
Of course the doctor-well, what could
he do?

from a necrosis of the fibula was, for
drunkard, until finally the dead bone
was removed and the wound was
healed, and he stopped all use of
alcohol and lived for many years a
total abstainer
"A prominent banker drank at in-
tervals and could abstain only for a
brief time, notwithstanding his vari-
Gus efforts. He finally gave up,
and went to Colorado and lived out
Of doors, and made complete re-
covery. Here unknown causes were
at work, not climatic or any one thing
but something had taken place, and
the drink craze died out.
Another prominent club man who
drank to intoxication nearly every
night, changed his business and
moved to neighboring city, and
stopped all use of alcohol Every eff
fort before this had failed, and this
last effort he ascribed to some in
significant cause, but it was evident
hat other causes existed, unknown
to himself, and the removal of these
was followed by the subsistence OF
the drink craze.

is a scientific one and cannot be
studied from a moral or sociological
point of view 1t is one of acts and
their meanings, and a Foundation
with expert examiners and appliances

WHAT MAKES A DRUNkARD2
Literary Digest)

The answer to this question may
seem to be a simple one. Without
alcohol we could have no drunkards.
put II is not so much the alcohol
as the craving for it that causes the
trouble. Hundreds of drugs exist
that would be far more injurious
than alcohol if man were infatuated
with them, but he is not. And the
craving for alcohol seems to be
brought about sometimes by condi-
tions whose connection with it would
seem remote indeed. That a blow
IN the head can make one man a
drunkard. or that another could be
cured of the drink mania simply by
leading an outdoor life, seems sur
nrising: but such facts only go to
show that the moral theory of the
cause of drinking once widely held
must be revised, If it is not to be
discarded altogether. If so, medical
efforts based wholly on moral suasion
will also have to give place to med,
ical treatment We quote from an
article contributed by DR.. T. d.
Crothers of Hartford, Conn, to the
Nashville Journal of Medicine and
Surgery (uJne). Says this authority
when individual histories of al
coholics and inebriates are studied
carefully, and the physiological and
psychological causes which dominate
life are determined, new range of
forces appear What was supposed
to be the principle cause is often
only a symptom of other conditions
unknown When these conditions are
removed the desire for alcohol dis
appears. The CHEMICAL evidence sup
porting this fact is very extensive.
"A few examples will illustrate
this:
"A most exemplary clergyman. a
total abstainer, after a blow on the
head form a fall, became a most
inveterate inebriate. drinking con-
tinually and to great excess. After
two or three years of the most
wretched existence he died and a

and a bone pressure on the brain.
