urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irri,ated. obliging
you to get up two or three times dur
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids

U. S. Agent Talked
Disloyalist Into
Giving Up Prisone,

GRANITE CITY. Ills, Jan. 5.-The
arrest Of Mississippi River house
boat dweller, who is alleged to have
made seditious utterances was accom-
plished by Byron Haynes. United
States agent, after many difficulties.
Haynes, who after delivering his pris-
oner at Chester, Ills. came here today
to visit relatives.
Accompanied by guide in motor
boat, Haynes made difficult passage
through the ice-clogged river to the
island on which lived Harry Meetzen,
81 years of age. Meetzen submitted
to arrest but the guide refused to
make the return journey, declaring the
engine was broken. The boat was not
fitted with oars and the three settled
down to wait for passing craft to
tow them back to shore
Two days of waiting found the three
huddled in Metzen's houseboat, and
with the supply of firewood running
low, Haynes started out to procure
fuel leaving Metzen in charge of the
guide who was armed. When Haynes
returned an hour later, he was met at
the point of revolver by MetZen, who
had overpowered the guide, bound
him with ropes and thrown him in a
corner. Haynes proved an effective
talwer and induced Metzen to sur
render his revolver
Next day rude oars we're fashioned
from saplings and the return trip
started. After foundering in the foat
ing ice for several hours another boat
was sighted and the three men were
rescued but not before they suffered
frozen ears and frost bitten feet.

great work is being accomplished to keep the

Crasping An Idea

Many weeks elapse before an idea is fully un-
derstood and grasped by one hundred million peo-
pie. If you doubt this, stop fifty persons on the
street and ask them about the principles of food
conservation, coal economy, and the selective
draft.
These questions have been before the Ameri-
can public for weeks. Thousands upon thousands
of articles treating of various phases of these is
sues have been printed in the newspapers and
magazines Hundreds Of experts and lecturers
have delivered speeches on these topics. Assured
y their intent and scope ought to be understood
And yet, the real reason for these campaigns
the urgent necessity of universal cooperation are
not understood by millions of our people.
Why?
Because the average person takes little inter-
est in matters that do not directly concern him.
If we had to go without food. without warm
clothing, without fuel, without light for month,
our personal experience would soon force an ap-
probation of the principles involved, but since
these ordeals are lacking our interest is luke
warm.
Men who come into direct contact with the
people understand how long it takes for an idea
to trickle through our population. Men who sell
nationally advertised goods have learned through
tests made in communities where they have spent
thousands of dollars that very small percentage
of the population actually become acquainted with
the merits Of their goods, impelling them to con-
tnue their publicity work.
This is the reason back of the persistent pro-
paganda of the government on food conservation.
The people of the United States as yet have not
fully grasped the idea. Let the government drop
it's work for three weeks, and we will be back in
o,1r old rut IF food wa stin0
The value of an ounce of butter, scrap of
meat, spoonful of oil, and small quantity of
sugar is insignificant in minds We do not
multiply the little we waste by the thousands who
do the same thing. If we did, we would hesitate
before indulging in the practice.
It is difficult for people who have been
prodigal and wasteful spenders believe that the
fate of the nation depends upon our food econ
omies. We cannot force ourselves to understand
the crisis. We read the appeals of our govern
ment, are temporarily impressed by the earnest
ness of the plea, and promise to conform with the
request, but let few weeks pass, and most Of us
have forgotten the pledge and slipped back into
our old habits.
If we want to win this war, each individual
