Killed by POisOns

All scientists agree that poisonou,
products in the blood are eliminated By
the kidneys and liver. The kidneys ac,
as kind of filter for these products.
When the kidneys are changed or de.
generated, by disease or old age, then
these poisons are retained in the BODY.
Ii we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for long life, DR.. Pierce OF
the lnvalids' Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals to flush the kidneys.
Then procure at your nearest drug store
Anuric. This Anuric drives the uric acid
out. Scientific men have learned that in
govt, also rheumatism, poisonous uric
acid crystals are deposited in or about
the joints, in the muscles where in
summation is set up.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet of milk and vege-
tables. with only little meat once a dav, is
the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric three times a day for
q month. An-u-ric is many times more
potent than lithia and dissolyes uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
You can obtain trial pkg. of, Anuric
for l0c. by writing Doctor v. NJ. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y. Large package 60 cents.

After this there were few entries
in the book. The last item was in the
summer of 1889, in which Augustine
writes that he is about to move to
Suffolk county.
Mr.. Moore, within the past few
days, has shown the book to several
people. In it Augustine speaks of his
wife as Mary and there are many
indubitable proofs that this Angus
tine Washington, the compiler, was
the father of the Father of His Coun-
try.
Hereafter, if historic facts are to
be respected, Washington's youthful
truthfulness will be symbolized by a
plum tree and hand saw, instead of
by a cherry and a hatchet.

WHALE MEAT IS The
LATEST WAR Dish
IT HAS BEEN TESTED IN NEW
YORK, AND DECLARED PAL
ATABLE IF WELL COOKED.

1t seems only the other day that
the tilefish was introduced to Amer
lean households by the United States
fishery service, says the New York
Sun. It's lines were not graceful and
it did not vie with the rainbow trout
in color effects, but the tile proved
to be palatable, something like stur-
geon, with suggestion of halibut.
Unfortunately, the new fish became
so popular or the trust was so quick
to regulate the supply that prices of
tile scared. And it was to abundant
and cheap! Now the whale, the
humpback variety, Cmagaptera long
imana) is commended as candidate
for the poor mans table. DR.. Henry
Fairfield Osborn's luncheon at the
American Museum of Natural His
tory to selected epicures, explorers,
biologists and notables should estab-
llsh the claim of humpback to be
toothsome morsel, well endowed with
protein. Whale pot au feu and plank
ed whale steak with trimmings sound
appetizing, but perhaps it depends
upon the chef. Whether Bridget
could make whale edible from roast
to picked-up dishes, eliminating in
hash, the American housekeeper must
be shown. These set feasts of strange
viands, kangaroo, giraffe, lions-and
now whale-never fail of approval
by guests who are summoned into
the limelight and expected to display
a sporting spirit.
Nevertheless, if humpback can be
offered at IL II cents a pound, and is
as good as or better than horse,
which has become war meat in Eng
land, DR.. Osborn should be regarded
as a benefactor. But could Mr.. Hoo
yer keep the price within bounds?
When Senator Smoot threatens us
with fast days once a week whale to
the rescue should be welcome. Ad-
miral Peary's commentator is not
conclusive. He has consumed whale
IN higher attitudes, but in circum-
stances beyond his control And as
a good sportsman he could not make
a wry face over DR.. Osborn's menu.
DR.. Hornaday has supped on mystic
rious provender in Borneo and else
where in Asia. He was estopped
from not smacking his lips over
whale soup. AS Director Townsend
of the Aquarium holds that every
swimming fish is wholesome, though
one fish may tempt the appetite more
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1918-04-02

than another, he could not draw the
line at humpback.
But these gentlemen are not the
pioneers. There was the Ichthya-
phagus club, a generation ago, form
ed to promote the eating of edible
fishes. The bureau of fisheries began
to boom whale meat last summer, and
it seems to be fact that whale meat
has been sold in the fish markets of
Seattle and Portland at 10 cents a
pound to hotels, restaurants and pri-
vate consumers. In bulletin on the
subject the bureau says:
Whales (and porpoises) are man.
mails, like cattle and sheep, and their
flesh is meat and not fish, In text
ure and appearance it resembles beef,
though the color is darker red. 1t is
devoid of all fishy taste. It is likely
that it will soon be obtainable fresh,
corned and canned, and it is recon-
mended to those who have the op-
portunity to purchase it."
Dr. 0sborn's diners testified that
whale had rich venison taste, which
suggests an accompaniment of full
fruited burgundy. There seems to be
no reason then, to reject magptera
longimana as an addition to the war
larder One can have too much of
any good thing. So it will not be nee
essary to treat humpback as the
thrifty do the Thanksgiving turkey,
serving it up in ingenious forms, with
warmed-up mince pie, until the fami-
ly revolts. A little whale will prob
ably go long way until its merits
are appreciated.

sad Senator New, discussing the air
pare situation, "but this is no more

What Baker Said.
Senator New called attention to a
statement accredited to Secretary
Baker on February 21, quoting him
as saying the first American airplanes
were being sent to Europe five
months ahead of schedule and prais-
ing the progress being made on the
liberty motor.
We have not a single combat
plane in France today, unless some
have been landed within the last few
days." he declared.
Senator Lodge delivered a denun-
citation of the delays which have pre-
vented greater forces from the Unit
ed States being placed besides those
OF the allies in the critical hour.
He characterized the situation con-
fronting this country as "terrible. %
and urged that the American people
he told the truth.
The fate of this war is trembling
IN the balance" he declared. "In this
dark hour it is a crime to keen from
the people the facts that Germany
herself knows"
1t has been known for weeks he
said, that we have no fighting planes
in France.
Our front is undefended in the
air" he continued eve have no
guns in France, except a few old
coast guns. That is the hard fact.
Waster Year Behind Us.
"a wasted year" is behind us, the
senator exclaimed in a passionate
speech. "Our sector of the front in
France is undefended from the air.
There is not single American com
bat plane in France-though we've
spent $840,000,000 in the past year"
This fact is well known, he said,
to the Germans.
Our gallant allies are holding
back the Germans advance at terri
Bile cost. In this dark hour it is a
crime to keep from the American
people facts we'll known to the enc
N.Y."
ct is to the last degree painful
to say these things, but they are the
truth. They are there to be dealt
WITHHOLD, hard facts. The truth
tell it to the American people. They
should no longer be mislead about
what we are about to do. Tell them
facts. That will arouse the genuine
grim American spirit.
"The time has gone by when it is
right to keep silent. l for one Ameri-
can want my people to know what
the true situation is"

1t Wasn't a Cherry Tree
Neither Did Washington Hew 1t Plum,
Tree He Found in Old Trunk

1t wasn't a cherry tree, after all,
that Washington cut down with his
little Ratchet. Thus goes another
fine romance along with Pocahontas,
Jonah and the rest. 1t was a plum
tree, and he cut it with saw. How
ever, Georges veracity is safe. The
plum tree story corroborates in ev-
cry respect the cherry tree episode,
Ratchet, truth-telling and all, and it
really makes very little difference
whether it was plum or cherry.
This plum tree version has just
been dug up out of an old trunk in
an attic near Penn Yam, N. Y. The
discovery was made by Ormond Law
renee Moore among the relics of his
forbear, John Lawrence, who settled
in the town of Milo, Yates county,
New York, in the year 1889, the year
in which George Washington was in
augurated for his first term as pres
ident of the United States.
Long before the birth of the i'm
mortal first president the Lawrence
and Washington families were con-
nected by marital bonds. Lawrence
was a family name in the Washing
ton genealogy as far back as the time
of the great grandfather of George,
and his grandfather's name was Law
renee Washington.
John Lawrence, of Yates county,
was relative of Commodore James
Lawrence, who nobly distinguished
himself in the naval annals of the
American revolution. Soon after the
war and before he started out for
his future Yates county home he
visited the Washington family, who
were distantly related and friends,
at Mount Vernon. When there, he
must have been presented with the
journal of the doings of Augustine,
the father then dead.
Ever since the present residence of
Mr.. Moore was built in a corner of
the attac has rested little old, leath-
er trunk containing the papers of
John Lawrence. Following a family
tradition the trunk has been domi-
ciled for the past hundred years or
more by his oldest direct descendant.
For several years before Mr.. Moore
CdAl6 lIIJO pOSSSSo1OH VI Tic u uiAh
it had been in the custody of an old
er brother of his father.
A short time ago Mr. Moore f.lv-
ing leisure time on his hands, deter
mined to look over the contents of
the trunk. He found many interest
ing letters and documents and upon
operirg an cid record book he found
on the fly leaf this inscription: aug
--stpe Washington, Westmoreland,
Virginia, His Journal, March, 1892"
The book is about IA inches long
by IL wide, bound in leather, and
contains several hundred pages of
paper of blush white color. The
writing is in ink, somewhat faded in
the pages near the outside of tic
book, but for most part very black
and clear.
At first Mr.. Moore did not connect
Augustine Washington with his fam
Gus son, but reading few pages
from the front he was struck by this
entry, under date of April 5, 1892:
My son, George Washington, bap-
tized this day, Mr.. Beverly Whiteing
and CAPTAIN Christofer Brooks were
his Godfathers. His Godmother was
Mrs. Mildred Gregory"
Further on he found unimportant
references to the son George, but the

Encouragement to the farmers of
Oklahoma in the growing of Spanish
peanuts is given in the record of Min
ME Coon, the Bryan county girl who
won the state championship as a pea
nut grower this year, says the Daily
Oklahoman, of Oklahoma City. Miss
Coon planted two acres in corn and
peanuts, in alternating rows, raised
fifty-eight bushels of corn and 1884,
bushels of peanuts, besides harvest
ing two tons of good peanut hay.
The corn was worth $3.50 a bushel,
or about S87. The peanuts brought
about SLIGO bushel, or S221.50. The
peanut hay was worth about $50 a
ton, or $40 for the whole amount.
This gave her a productive value of
S26l.61 for the acre of peanuts. The
land on which they were grown is
valued at $50 an acre. The corn at
$87 lacked only So of bringing three
times the value of the land for the
acre on which it grew, while the acre
Of peanuts brought little more than
eight and one-half times the value of
the land on which it was produced.
