4 MISPLACED KINDNESS

Every time we read some touching appeal to
be kind to the dear brides, and beseeching us to
scatter crumbs for them upon the encrllsted win

OWL
He first visited us one cold morning when the
air was full Of snow. He stayed an hour or SO and
watched us chop wood, and then went on about
his business.
He appeared to have business to attend to, and
to be able to mind it in the daytime as we'll
Every once in a while he would drop into the
woodshed and loaf, until we fixed up box for
him, scattered table scraps every once in while,
and held long monologues with him while he sat
hunched up and solemn, and occasionally snapped
his sharp beak by way of polite assent
We were getting to have a real affection for
the thing, and had about decided that their char
acter had been much maligned by the ignorant
and squawking outside.
We hurried forth and found big excited hen

We attended to his case first, and then we
back-tracked and found where he had attacked the

to where our fat hens had been going to. -.

SHE KNOWS-NOT ONLY HERSELF BUl
HER HUSBAND

Maybe the reader will recall our editorial OF
some six weeks ago on the prospects OF the ne"
republic of Brunswick, whereof Herr Metges' a
tailor, was serving as president and Frau Fass-
hauer, a washerwoman, as minister of education.
We intirnated that whereas President Metges was
collecting his salary in advance and Minister Fass-
hauer putting social caste through her good old
clotheswringer, the odds were that the republic
would be a go.
We are pleased to be able to announce that God
reigns and the republic Of Brunswick still lives.
Other parts of central Europe are torn to shreds
by rioters assassinS and other sorts Of BolsheVlk
but Metges the tailor still presides and the good
right arm of Mrs. Fasshauer still educates the OBJ
fuse Brunswickan.
However, there's worm in our apple, as is fire.
quently the case, and, conscientious chronclers,
we feel bound to also announce that our odds on
the Brunswick status quo are weakening. We've
heard from Mrs. Metges.
Will the reader kindly follow our line Of rea-
soning for a moment?
When Metges became president did his Mrs
buy necklace of mock pearls, a suit OF brilliant
satin and pair Of No. French-heeled Shoes
throw a fur cape over her broad shoulders and
rush down to the capitol to harvest the social crop
that was ripe for her as first lady Of the land?
She did not. She still holds her job as usher in
theater. lF Jl tot.n tG.,'[ II .,aE.
Now, there is some gap between the presidency
of self-determined republic and the ushership at
MOVIE and the elite Of Brunswick recently prod
ded Frau Metges as to her lack Of appreciation of
her opportunity for social elevation. The lady
replied in the following words, which surely ought
to have place in the records Of great sayings in
= these troublous times: ...}t;.., ...a t.,I.,
"None Of my husbands plans ever lasted very
long, and it will be the same with this one, 50 am
keeping my job
: She knows her man, and keeps her anchor to
windward fast in good holding ground. What
splendid conservatism! What marital GRANDEUR
What philosophy for keeping butter ones
bread, though forms of government rise and fall
on every hand! Indeed, if the reader is a fair man.
he will charge us with no iota of cowardice for
pulling down all our bets on the republic of Bruns-
wick. Amidst all the turmoil of central Europe
Brunswick is radiant as an exception thus far but
the lady Of President Metges sticks to- her plebeian
job. know thyself"' says a great philosopher
Mrs Metges goes him one better by knowing both
herself and Metges. A wife to be greatly priced.
Ell, fellows?

HOG RAISING IN
GEORGIA GIVEN BOOST
STATE ONCE BOUGHT FORTY
MILLION POUNDS MORE THAN
1T PRODUCED ON FARMS.

An important result of hog cholera
control work, begun by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
1913. and which has resulted in a
steady decline of the disease, has
been the stimulus given the develop
ment of swine raising in the South.
With other activities of the depart
ment in this line, the assurance given
to southern farmers that hogs can
| be produced without fear OF losses
from cholera has encouraged grow
ing not only larger numbers FAM
mails but also better types. This has
been noticeable particularly in Geor-
ga. A few years ago this state pur-
chased about 40,000000 pounds of
pork more than it produced annuallyfi
But efforts for the control of hog
cholera have gradually extended over
the entire state, with resulting con
fdcnce in hog raising. BY 1918 Geor-
gia was producing pork enough to
make shipments to outside points be-
sides supplying a large number OF
hogs to local Strengthening establish
ments. Similar progress has been
made in Mississippi. Alabama and

MANY CASES OF
RHEUMAT |SN NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posurc, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots, of water and above all take
spoonful Of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoonful
IN a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have a pleasant,
ctfervescent Whitewater drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as. well.
