the oxen, but he was short-tempered and said
the jitney was better sprinter. At the end of
the third week somebody flooded the road and
the jitney mired down. while the oxen waded
thru holding their tails aloft. Being in contest
the man of the goad declined to pull the jitney-
driver out so he told his jitney goodbye and
went to work in the warehouse
The wife of the expermenter asked him
that night if he wasn't going to stop the loss on
the tney, but he said the jitney was already ahead
of the game eight holidays, fftytwo Sundays and
279 working days. Each day she repeated her
question, and as time went on he deducted from
his reply, according to how the oxen gained on
the jitney, and at the end of the year when the
jitney had been stuck in the mud 341 days the
oxen had just caught up with the achievements
of the jitney, and the man working in the ware
house those other 284 days had earned $I116
net, being more than twice what the cattle and
wagon were worth. On digging the jitney out
of the ground, he discovered that it was in very
good condition and needed only to be cranked
few times, you've guessed the kind of cary
and it was ready for service, or for sale at almost
as much as he had paid for it.

Many Disabled Men
Take Commercial Or
Farming Courses

Washington, March 13.-Out of 1877
cases Of disabled soldiers approved for
retraining by the federal board for
vocational education, agriculture in
its various branches is not first in
numerical order, as is generally sup
posed. One hundred sixty-five cases
have beef awarded courses in COM
imercial colleges. fitting them for Of
flee work and business careers gener-
ally. Agriculture does come next
with 1877 cases which are divided up
into the following: Agronomy, L: ami
NAL husbandry, 10; dairying. 3; farm
ing ia; poultry raising. 6; truck
gardening. 8.
The majority Of those who tool
the agricultural courses are not, as
popularity supposed, men who have
suddenly become converted to the
beauty of agriculture by reason of ex-
ercise in trench digging in France, but
are farm boys who have realized the
benefit of a more scientific knowledge.
and who are DESTROYS Of returning to
their old home places and apply the
management.
In addition to the agricultural
courses. four are taking horticulture,
three landscape gardening, and one
bee culture. In the main. this educa-
ton is given in the land grant colleges
Of various states. The student is al
lowed SOS a month support fund while
undergoing training, and allowance
for his dependents r made during
that time. The federal board now has
under consideration q broadening Of

An American, returning home a
this time from a stay in England and
France, finds himself looking at his
country through new eyes. He Has q
different perspective, a clearer vision,
after coming to understand the spirit
of u crusaders overseas, and putting
himself into sympathetic touch with
the people OF France and England,
whose lives have been affected far
nor by the war than have ours.
The returning American, whether
soldier of civilian, must feel a love
of country. a pride in his nation and
his flag, that he knew before
he left. At the same time, If he is
given to thinking, he must experience
also a great desire that his country

sordid ways.
How fine it is. when our liner
steamed up New York bay a morning
or two ago. to have our returning SOL

cigarettes and apples, and daily news
papers to toss aboard to the dough-
boys! 1t was a typical American

Let me tell you briefly what we left
behind us: First. an America army
that had won the admiration and
gratitude Of our Allies by courage on

relief and welfare work among the
poor and suffering that had set up
new standards and ideals of Ameri-

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
Better Be Careful About
Your Kidneys
BY N. B. COOK. M. D.

Foods taken into the stomach go
through various chemical changes.
and some of these changes are poisons
that must be sifted out and disposed
Of. It is the duty of the kidneys to do
this. When the kidneys do not fully
perform their vital work, death may
be only a few hours away. Happily,
Nature has provided warning alarms
telling people when their kidneys are
not we'll. These warnings come in the
form of dragging pains in the small of
the back, weak stomach, low spirits,
chtlls, nausea, headache, scanty urine
and frequent desire to pass it, short
breath, numbness. cramps. coated
tongue, bad breath. pufrs under the
eyes,. thin blood. dry skin, ringing in
the ears, spot before the eyes and
many other symptoms. All come
from the one cause of kidneys that are
not altering the poisons out 0f the
system. To overcome these troubles,
Dr.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, COM
pounded what he calls Anuric Tablets.
No other kidney medicine is it's equal
in giving relief and re-establishing
healthful work in the kidneys. The
treatment is very simple, as you need
nothing except water when taking
Anuric Tablets glass of water with
each tablet. This washes and f1ushes
the kidneys while the medicine itself
is dissolving the uric acid poisons and
driving them out. Anuric Tablets are
made double strength, so that they
dissolve uric acid the same as hot
water dissolves salt or sugar. Most
people need Anuric Tablets because
most people have uric acid. Better
get that poison out of your body for
safety's sake. and better begin today.
To gently and agreeably coax the
bowels back into normal activity, take
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
are just as good for. c~ostiveness as his
Anuric Tablets are good for kidney
disorders, and that is saying a great
deal.

The fact that a new campaign /,
brewing is the underlying cause OF
the dismal spectacle we have been
witnessing. All the more honor, in
the circumstances. to men like Taft
n Burton, and to Republican news
papers that have refused to allow
their party to be committed to the
policy Of abandoning our Allies: such
newspapers as the Philadelphia
Ledger and the Inquirer, the Boston
Herald, and the Springfield Republic
can.
When we drew our declaration OF
independence we protested a decent
respect for the opinions of mankind.
Now, while England and France look
on sadly. some of our best-advertised
politicians make a football Of the
League of Nations project, on which
hang the hopes of mankind. If they
succeed, they will have spited Mr..
Wilson and evened up some old
scores; what matters it whether our
country shall have lost the faith and
trust and admiration of the world?
Philip Bibbs, recognized as one OF
the greatest of the English war cor
respondents because of qualities of
heart as well as Of mind, is now pay
ing our country a visit. He likes us,
and has written. some very pleasant
things about us. Like other high
type Britons, he will not speak in
criticism Of us. but If he would. he
could tell lie how we fail to under
stand the international situation
through lack of knowledge. We fail
to realize hat our nation is the
strongest, and that it cannot really be
ondQ n porod INV 1on1fr- a hnI~i~- l--l
to all the others. V
I have dwelt at some length on our
chief national failing, which is a dis
position to sacrifice intellectual nom
esty in times of partisan turmoil.
Now for the other side Of the picture.
The best thing about our country
is the big-hearted generosity Of our
people. Americans are quick to re-
spond in emergencies. We may be
uncharitable and wrong-headed in
politics sometimes, and some of our
views as to foreign relations may be
based on scanty information or lack
to give in the same big way that we
build. Belgium and France will
never forget what America did
through relief commissions and the
Red Gross. American and Allied
armies received and are still receiving
great benefits from welfare organiza-
ions kept going by money from
America. Our givings have amount
ed to approximately a billion dollars.
The big-hearted country that help
ed to save civilization surely will not
condemn it to anarchy now by selfish
ly drawing back its hand.
Our faults and our qualities are
those of a young nation. We can
learn Of courtesy and federation
and clear-thinking Observation-Disclosures
from u British cousins. They, I
think, would not be harmed by learn
ing some of our warm-hearted, i'm
pulsive friendliness. and by losing
some of their quiet reserve. Our two
peoples are very much alike, when all
is said, and the better we come to
know and understand each other and
profit by each others qualities, the
better it will be for all. \
