AIDING INDUSTRY

The Manufactures Record reports
concrete evidence that building ac-
tvltles In the south and southwest
SHOW marked increase for January
and February. The Records bulletin
service finds that in these months
almost twice as many building pro-
Jects were undertaken as in Novem-
Der and December. These figures
warrant the Record in saying that
the south has realized the import
ance of setting TO work to make good
the construction deficiency resulting
from war.
In an interview published in the
same issue of the Record, Roger W.
Babson urges state, county and CITY
officials to start campaign of ad-

people. In cities, Mr.. Babson suggests
the municipal officials should find

and what it will cost to build them

| FLUEMzA WIPES OUT SPIT
BORNE DISEASES OF CHILDREN

Figures based on reports to the
State Board Of Health show that
the. precautions used against. the
spread of influenza almost wiped
out whooping cough, measles, Giph-
liberia, and other spi.- borne diseases
OF children. The Beard Of Health
states that during June, July, Au-
gust and September, preceding the
epidemic of influenza, there was an
average Of 2, ,499 cases a month. In
October during the height of the
lnfiuenZa, sudie.i drop in the
other diseases occurred, and from
October to February 1st, the period
IN which the greatest number of
cases Of Chi dfen usually occur.
there was an average of only S4S
cases month. 1t is also noted
that AS the influenza subsidies the
other diseases increase. During
February there were more than
twice as many cases OF whooping
cough, measles, dipththeria. etc., as
in November. following the height
of the influenza epidemic.
This sudden drop in the occurrence
OF diseases of children was due to
the fact that the fatality of inf1uen-
"a and the rapidity of its spread,
pu; into the hearts of the people
fear, which made them exercise
personal precaution more than ever
before. They coughed and sneezed
into their handkerchiefs and used
their own towels, drinking cups, etc
Children were kept from school
when unwell and unnecessary ex-
posure avoided. These precautions
not only retarded the development
Of influenza, but prevented thou
sands of cases of other diseases.
We must conclude from the
above that the number of cases of
the diseases OF children can be ma
terlalIy decrease BY proper pre-
; cautions. Knowing this fact, it be-
comes the duty Of everybody to
learn about the spread of diseases
and to make as great an effort to
protect the children against diseases
all the time as were. made during
! the great epidemic Of influenza.

Timely HINTS FOR
SHEEP RAISERS

See that the ewes are in GOOD
neSh and health. See that they
are not crowded through narrow
openings, such as narrow Gates
doors, etc., as this will result in
lambs Getting turned or killed be-
lore birth and will give lots of trcu-
ble at lambing time. This often
causes the death of both eve and
lamb.
After lambs are born see that
they nurse, and see that the ewes
have plenty of milk for them. A
little attention at this time is where
the success lies in sheep raising for
profit.
Ii the eve does not have much
milk give the lamb cows milk. but
do not dilute it. and do not give in
large quantities; give in small
amounts and often. Do not feed
the eve large amounts of grain just
after lambins. but give fresh clear
water and hay the first day. then
feed grain the following day. but in
small amounts, and all the hay she
Will eat up. and plenty of water.
The following are some good grain
mixtures:
40 lbs. of corn and cob meal,
Is lbs. of cottonseed meal,
Is lbs. of oats. -
10 lbs, of bran.
Feed IL to 1 pound per head
daily of this mixture and 2 to 4
pounds of hay daily. Corn silage |
to pounds per head per day.
Another grain ration is made as
follows:
70 lbs. cern and cob meal or
cracked meal,
or per animal per day:
23 Id. cracked corn,
1-3 Id. cottonseed meal,
For lambs the following mixture
is good
40 lbs. cracked corn.
80 lbs. of oats,
2O lbs. of linseed meal or cot
tonseed meal,
10 lbs. of bran.
A good daily ration for a eve
sucking lamb is 1-2 to / pound Of
any of the following grain mixtures.
3 pounds of corn silage, one pound
of hay. If silage is not available,
4 pounds of hay.
Make small pen, or lamb creep,
close to where the old sheep are
kept. This creep should be IL feet
square, with openings 7inches wide
In three or four places around
the pen for the lambs to 90 in, and
not the mothers. Put small trough
i'll this and feel a small amount of
gain, just what the lambs will
clean up, increasing the amount as
the lambs grow and increase. Make
the ere ,p larger as fast as necessa-
ry SO that the lambs will not be
crowded. By all means keep. the
creep clean.-George Evans. Sheep

PAYING THE TEACHER

We may talk as we like about
progress in education. but if we fail
to spend money for teachers there
will be 10 progress. School boards
who take complaisant attit ude
about teachers pay should read the
National Education Association re-
port on teachers salaries. They. will
find there solemn words about the
Threatened collapse of the teaching
profession" sensational words used
by men accustomed to weigh their
utterances carefully.
In the new world of freedom and
democracy that is emerging, inte'li-
gence. knowledge. and skill will count
for more than in the old. Education
becomes the chief business of leeis-
lature and congresses representing
the people.

precise way to escape what has been
called the vicious circle of high prices
and high wages? Labor says it cannot
accept wage reduction while prices re-

cannot reduce prices while wages remain

tension or new enterprises say they can
not begin construction while both prices
and wages maintain prohibitive levels
Manifestly, someone must make be-

If those corporations and firms that can
reduce prices without sacrificing rea

cepting for the time being a lower rate

process of defation will be set in motion
Labor will not object to reduction in
pay if the purchasing power of the dol

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat and Take Glass of Salts
to Flush Out Kidneys-Drink
Plenty Water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is ir-
ritated, and you may be obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night. When the kidneys clog you must
help them flush off the bodys urinous
waste or you'll be real sick person
shortly. At first you feel a dull misery
in the kidney region, you suffer from
baekache, sick headache, dizziness, stom-
aeh gets sour, tongue coated and you
feel rheumatic twinges when the weather
is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
Of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys viii then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
Of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity, also to neutral
ize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a
source Of irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble

Majors and Minors Continue
to Dispute Over
Control
LATTER WANT TO GET
ON NATIONAL COMM.
Tremendous Profit Made on
Sale of the New York
Giants

New York, Jan. l5.-The Craftsmanship
of the national commission was the lead
ing topic discussed at the meetings of
the National and American baseball
leagues here to-day, while the session of
the minor leagues was devoted to the
discussion of their demand that the
smaller circuits be relieved of the draft
rule When the minors went into ses-
sion the members still were firm in their
declaration that the big leagues must
grant their request
August Hermann of Cincinnati said
he was opposed to the demands of the
minors for representation on the national
commission and for a voice in the affairs
Of the major leagues. He pointed out
that the minors now had an organization
of their own and said that the national
commission should simply be a court Of
appeal for cases their own organization
could not settle.
The sale yesterday Of the controlling
interest in the New York Nationals ia
John McGraw, G. A. Stoneham and Judge
Francis X McQuade still was a topic Of
great interest among the baseball mag
mates. The stock which sold yesterday
for a sum reported to be 81, 100000, they
said, was bought by John r. Brush from
Andrew Freedman in 1903 for 100000,
The profit of 81 100000 on the stock was
approached only once in the history Of
baseball, it was pointed out. The Chica.
60 club Of the National league was pur-
chased in 1906 by Charles w, Murphy
and his associates for 100000 and when
the club was sold in 1914, it was said
the price was more than 81 100000
