LUMBER MILLS SHOW
DROP IN PRODUCTION
Effects of Labor Troubles
Shown in Reports.

Production by Montana and Idaho
lumber mills fell off more than leo.-
060.oe board feet last year. according
TO a~report just issued by the U. S.
forest service. The report shows that
II Montana mills produced in 1917.
50,s47.0o0 board feet less than in 1916.
Strikes through the affected regions
were probably responsible for the de-
crease. though the report does not at
tempt to show causes.
Not all of the mills in the two states
have reported, says the forest service.
and not until the remaining reports
are received can figures be compiled
which will show accurately 1917 and
1873 conditions"
The IL Montana mills reporting
produced as2,7s0.oeo board feet of lum-
Der in 1917 and 81, 900 in lsls.

Home Town Feeling.
(North Adams Herald.

The home town means lot more to
some people than to others. Some PEG
pie do not feel close ties to any place
They move around without feeling OF
regret or loss. They do not feel badly
to part with the friends they make, be
cause they do not create intimate ties
They do not acknowledge obligation
to work in cooperation with their fel
low citizens, and no one feels any oh,
legation to help them along. They play
a lone hand All their days, and neve!
get far.
Other people have an intense feel
ing of loyalty binding them to the home
soil. II is partly sentimental affec
tion, partly n keen sense Of the advan-
tagcs of business unity and corpora
ton. They feel united by common
tie to all the people who live in the
place. They feel keen interest il
every person or thing that was ever
connected with the city, and any
project tending to work for its benefit
has their hearty and enthusiastic sup
port When a city fully acquires that
unity of spirit and purpose and feel
ing, the possibilities Of its progress
are enormous. 1t advances as a com
pact mass of people devoted to one end
not as a lot Of separate individuals al
working for diverse purposes.

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat If you feel Backachy
or Bladder troubles you-Salts
is fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their eff
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters Of meat must flush the kid
.neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the acids, waste and poison,
else you feel dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
! twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment; the channels often get irri-
tated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body S urinous waste
| get about four ounces OF Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take tablespoon
full in a glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys
will then act fine and bladder disorders
disappear. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations TO clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop
bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpen-
sive; harmless and make a delightful
Iefferveseent lithia water drink which
millions of men and women take now
and then, thus avoiding serious kidney
and bladder diseases.-Advt.

FARMS FOR SOLDIERS UNNEcEs
SARY.

Several objections to the proposal OF
the secretary Of labor Mr.. Wilson,
To establish and equip farms in large
numbers for returning soldier, suggest
themselves. They are unnecessary. The
country is short Of labor, especially
farmers, and there will be work
fer every returning soldier who
desires ii. There has been no increase
in the supply Of laborcrs since this
country went TO war and it is expected
many Europeans in this country Will
return to their homeland as soon as
peace is established and travel is OPP
cned All labor was fully employed he
fore this country went to war and the
, industries of the country arc ready to
| rush the manufacture of peace goods
as soon as the materials and workmcn
can be secured.
The establishment of large num-
Der of farms on waste lands would be
very expensive and call for many mil
lions OF. government money. The gov
crnmcnt is in no condition to author.
i1e such expenditures at present. See.

that from five to five and a half bill

bc issued TO care for the government

lPriations until the war debt is financed.
The lack of employment, if there
J is any, will be Of short duration.
Secretary of Labor Wilson told tire
house rules committee on The day

! lcvcd the government would have to
supply labor for only short period
and added From the time we re-

Secretary MeAdoo says he wants to
keep the railroads of this country out
of politics, but recommends they be
kept under government control until
1924 the year a presidential campaign
is in progress and government owner,

ther says that if government
control is continued there will be
no reduction in wages to railroad
employees, statement that is likely to
have great political effect upon the
thousands of voters who have held
the government up on two occasions
