The whimsical suggestion that Hell
Gate be removed to the Mississippi
River ana there be deepened, or that
members of Congress from the Missis-

an appropriation for improving the
navigation of He'll Gate where it is, is
well enough as wheeze. but the mat

the shipping in the greatest port in the
country and as a help to the operation
of the navy TO be treated seriously
For example. how would it do to have
members of Congress from these parts

Registration Is "Encouraging'Sfor
= - TAM many.

:. In the opinion of the Erening Post,
according to that newspapers edito-
rial declaration of October s, "regis-
tration figures for the first two days
are encouraging" They are encour-
aging, encouraging to Tammany. The
Erenits Post is misled by its news,
which, on the day it recorded Its salts
faction with the registration, con-
tanned these statements:
- Two days of registration have re-
eisulted in nearly 100000 more voters
qualifying to cast their ballots in the
November election than registered in
1.-the first two days of registration
week of 1917, when a Mayoralty
campaign was on. and nearly $1,000
moro than registered in the corre-
spending period of 1918, when, be-
cause of the choosing OF Representa-
tives in Congress, the election took
lon a national aspect.
~ Politicians expressed surprise at
the large registration figures for the
.ffst two days Of registration week in
"a political campaign in which only
city and borough officers and mem.
bers OF Assembly are to be elected
Politicians who expressed surprise
at the large registration figures" in
comparison with 1918 and 1917 must
have forgotten their history.
In 1917 the right of suffrage had
not been given to women. At the
election in November of that year
the voters approved the amendment
10 the Constitution under which
women may now vote on terms of
qualify with men. The expansion of
the New York electorate accomplished
By this amendment should have
brought in 1918 and this year a ire
fnendous increase in the number
Of registered citizens.
But the country was at war in 1917
and 1918, and thousands Of new voters
and young voters were in the military
service In this country and abroad.
The men thus engaged who did reg.
sster and vote did so at army camps.
Many Of them were too occupied with
soldierly duties to devote time and
thought to politics. The women were
doing war work with all their might
and domestic politics was of small i'm
portance In their lives
Because Of these facts comparison
oft the registration figures of 1919
with those Of 1917 and 1918 sheds lit.
tie light on the present situation. The
number of registrations this year,
with hostilities over, the army demo.
hillzed; thousands of former soldiers
most. of them young men who should
make the most enthusiastic and capa.
Vie political workers, at home, ought
10 be far In excess of the number in
r917 or 1913. 1t should be so much
IN excess of the number of reglstra-
lions in either of those years as to
throw those totals completely in the
nhade.
Unless there is a great improve

BETTER FITTED FOR WORK
Testimony Shows That Service in the
Army Has Made the Average Man
More Efficient.

Evidence that returned soldiers, par
tlcularly those who saw service over
seas, are going back into civil pursuits
more efficient and better fitted for
their work is furnished by one of the
largest employers Of labor in the coun-
Try, a firm which has requested that
lts name be not disclosed.
OF more than six hundred returned
soldiers who have been employed by
this corporation 43 per cent have
proved more efficient than they were
before their military experience. So
per cent are put down as lust about
the same as before in efficiency and
the remaining per cent are rated rs
having less efficiency.
According to the letter giving thasa
hgures: ''The analysis indicates tbot
the men are more orderly in their
routine work, more punctual and y.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Ais Diamond 4 BARGAIN.

An amusing story is told in connec-
ton with the early days of Sir J. B.
Robinson, the South African million
aire, who has been figuring prominent
ly in the London law courts.
He was crossing the Yaal river in
1869, looking for diamonds. He asked
the natives il they had seen any ''pret-
ty stones" and Mt last he found man
who had diamond. 1t was small
stone, and the prospector offered 500
for it, but he refused to part with it.
He increased his offer to $50, but still
the man refused.
''What win you take for it?" he was
asked.
Twenty goats" was the firm reply;
nothing less"
Il sent off to the nearest farm says
Sir ]. b. Robinson, in telling the story,
''and bought 20 goats for $3.50, and so
got possession of my first diamond

Screen your dairy rooms against
flies.
Wheat bran is eaten readily by
young calves.
Clean milk is impossible If cows are
not kept clean.
Perfect circulation Of air in the sta
BILE means more milk.
The dairyman who is too saving Of
feed cheats himself as well as the herd.
Cleanliness is the beginning and the
end of the gospel Of pure milk produc-
ton.
Much attention should be given to
feeding calves If they are to become
good dairy animals.
The darkened stable by day and pas
ture by night for the dairy cows help
boost me cream check.

buy pint each time. The foreman
stated that since the drinking of milk
has become SO popular with the men
net only is their efficiency improved
but they are more contented and even
tempered.
Specialists are giving lectures In
many large department stores, and ex-
plain that glass OF cool milk Is not
only refreshing on a hot day but also
furnishes definite amount of nour-
lshment.
In New Haven, Conn, the manager
~ one department store had posters
made entitled. "Why We Should Drink

- cents 20 the employees, no attempt
being made TO show profit on the
sales. Half.pint bottles Of milk were
distributed to the clerks In the middle
Of forenoon and afternoon. Straws

bles in good condition. Place a board
or piece of tin over the hay at the
apex of the cone and weight it down
to keep it in place. If the earth over
the entire surface of the mound is
firmed down with the back of the
shovel and a shallow trench dug
around the base of the mound with an
outlet so that the water will drain
away, the vegetables may be kept
practically dry for any length of time.
AS the weather becomes colder, it will
be necessary TO put on more earth, in
creasing the thickness of the earth
covering to six or eight inches. In
very cold weather it is advisable to
put on an additional covering of straw,
fodder, manure, or other litter.
Earth Mound Is Best.
For cabbages and turnips the earth
mound is better storage place than
the cellar. Both turnips and eabbages
give off odors that, if stored i'm the
cellar, will permeate the house and
become very disagreeable. The meth
cd of storing cabbages may vary some
what from the regular pit or mound.
A very satisfactory method is to pull
the plants, roots and all, and place
them in a long pitt either on their
sides or with the heads down, then
cover lightly with straw and layer
of EARTH. A few heads. may be re-
moved from time to, time without dis
turbing the remainder of the pit. An
other good method is to pull the heads,
roots and all, and set them side by
side, with the roots down, in shallow
trenches, making a bed of whatever
size may be necessary. Around the
bed erect frame of rails, boards, or
poles, or by driving down row of
stakes so that an Enclosure about two
feet in height is formed. Bank the
outside Of this frame with dirt and
place poles across the top, covering
them with straw, hay, corn fodder, or
pine boughs. Make provision for cut
ting off the cabbage heads from one
end of the pit as needed. When the
heads are cut, leave the roots in DO
sition, and in the spring these roots
will sprout and supply an abundance
of greens.
