Farm Made to Pay.

For ten years a 5OO-acre farm in Gen.
trail Michigan failed to pay interest on
the capital invested. One year after
the owners had been induced to make
certain radical changes the farm paid
all expenses Of operation and returned
them per cent on an Investment Of
10000. These changes were:
Substitution Of four-horse for two
horse machinery; substitution of bet
ter stock for improbable cows in the
dairy herd adoption of the silo plan !;
allowance to the foreman, in addition
to his salary. of 10 per cent of the net
income from the farm.
Expenses of operating the farm, but
not the interest on the capital. were
deducted from the income before the
foreman received his percentage. The
owners yielded to the plan when they
found that for every dollar the fore
man got under such an arrangement
they would receive nine.

$4,000 HUNS THERE
Germany Continues to Concentrate
Troops on Western Front.
BY HENRY WOOD.

With the French Armies in the
Field, Feb. 1.-THE Germans are now
believed to have at least 2,340,000 men
concentrated On the western front.
To date ITS German division~have
been identified in this theater, includ-
ing twenty-three recently transported
from Russia.
q German division is supposed to
comprise 1900 men. On this basis
the units of 100000 men have been
identified.
Presumably, an additional twenty
divisions have been transferred from
Russia in the past week, making to-
tai of 1876 divisions.
Bulgars Replace Germans.
AT the moment the separate peace
with Ukraine was signed, the Germans
still had sixty-three divisions on the
Russian front, the Austrians had
thirty-three and the Turks and Bull
gars two each; while the Italian front
was held by forty-two Austrian and
three German divisions.
Indications are that all German di-
visions on the Salonika front are now
being replaced by Bulgars from the
Rumanian front.
The Turkish army in Asia Minor
numbers forty-seven divisions.

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and
neutralize irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritatc and inflame. causing a burn.
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again. there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it. becaus. they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from NyoU- pharmacist
and take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two Or three days. This will neu-
tra1ize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is g source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and iemcn juice, com bined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject t. urinary dis orders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splerdid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Hthia water drink, which quickly
relieves BLADDER trouble.-Adv.

Germany Admittedly Puzzled
by Russian "Peace" Plot.
Anxious to Resume NegOtia-

Amsterdam. Feb. 14.=Judging from
the latest indications in the German
press, much dissatisfaction and sus-
picion has been aroused by the latest
move of Foreign Minister Trotzky.
Important political and military
leaders are said to be comforting busily
to find the best solution to the puzzle
The Kreuz Zeitung of Berlin on
TUESDAY declared, ION reliable in
formation" that Trotzky's proposal is
in no circumstances to be regarded as
a peace offer, while It is pointed out
by other papers that the Russian war
theatcr was mentioned especially in
the official army report of Tuesday.
Demand Treaty of Russia.
A Berlin telegram to the Koelnische
Voikzeitung of Berlin says:
THE government is not willing to
continue relations with Russia on any
basis whatever unless the present Rus
sian government signs regular peace
treaty. as, however, it must be reckon
ed for the present at any rate that
Trotzky does not think of signing any
formulated peace declaration. a situa-
ton is created which makes necessary
a thoro discussion between the gov
ernment and theeupreme army COM
mand"
The correspondent in an apparently
inspired passage adds:
1.-The chancellor is resolved under
circumstances TO cOn0uct IuftneF
negotiations in any neutral center and
it will be the affair of the central
powers to determine where such nego-
tiations may best be held. The recall
of the economic commission from Pc
trograd is under consideration.
''On the other hand, it is evidently
realized that the question of the big
army of Austro-German prisoners of
war in Russian territory still con-
trolled by Petrograd cannot be over
looked"
a telegram from Vienna to the
Taglische Rundschau says:

Must Break Militarism.
. There must be no armistice with the
German military party-a peace that
would allow it to prepare. merely for

Germany must yield to democratiza-

As for details of the other bases for
peace the president is willing to be
shown his views are the most prac-

The German controlled Austrian
government today is under two fires
the demands of the people for peace
and the demands of the German
Junkers for continuation of the war.
That the people, in the end will win,
is the conviction of the president.
The German militarists must even
tua1ly break under the destruction of
their false promises. They ridiculed
the American army-but that was be-
fore they saw that this country as pre-
