Most people die eventually OF

alkaline, the longer we live.
With regular hours, six to eight
glasses of water between meals,

to get the poisons out of the
system, man will live to be a

our highly nervous way of living
brings increased storage Of uric

poison, and consequently we suf-

Get rid of this uric acid poison
by taking a harmless medicine,
called Anuric, which throws out
the uric acid by stimulating the

increased six times. If no expenses
except the cost of feed are considered,
the cow that produced $50 pounds of
butterfat was as profitable as ~ cows
of the first group, whose average pro-
duction was 100 pounds. If labor and
miscellaneous expenses also could be
taken into consideration the results
would be much more striking.
A further study Of the records
showed that the cost Of roughage was
about the Same for all groups, but that
the total cost of feed was somewhat
greater for the more productive cows.
The increased profit should therefore
be credited in part to better feeding,
but apparently it was more largely
due to better cows. The present high
cost of feed will eliminate the low
producing COW, or it must eventually
eliminate the dairyman who keeps
such cows. More cows are needed,
but better cows are needed more. Ger
tainly it pays to keep good cows and

Screw Bores Its Own Hole

Evidently Charles D. Woodward, of
Providence, r. l., has often had CON
siderable trouble in driving the con
ventional wood screw into hard wood.
for he has developed a screw which
bores its own hole as it proceeds. Ac-
cording to his patent claims, says the
Scientific American, he has devised a
countersinking gimlet-pointed screw
having at the root of its point bulge
constituting the largest diameter of
the shank, and having across Its
thread a spiral groove, one end of
which forms a cutter at the bulge.
The groove goes once around the
screw and terminates at the slant of
the head and at the root of the gimlet
point.
