THE PEOPLES FORUM
A New Years Reckoning
By r. Q. Williams

In the commercial world inven-
tories. computations and reckon
ings are positively necessary. With
the larger firms this is a frequent
necessity With the concerns of
lesser responsibility the work Is
less frequent. But all OF appreci-
able Importance take stock, make
computations and compare ledgers
at least once u year. Should any
commercial enterprise permanent
~ neglect this necessity bankrupt
ey would inevitably follow.
The same principle applies 10
moral concerns. as TO individual
assets and liabilities. Moral com
putasions must be made. Stock
must be taken. The ledger of life
must be compared. Since a big
firm is represented and a business
of eternal magnitude is involved
the computation and comparison
should be made frequently. Ay,
at the close of each day a general
note Of the ledger should be made
Many there are who make this a
daily practice. It's safe custom.
The book is closed each day in
diyidually with the uncertainty of
its ever being re-opened in this
world. II is well TO personally
ascertain the account in the con.
seriousness Of this uncertainty.
But many do not make this a prac-
tice. Other matters are too press
ing. The time of each day is so
occupied with the common de-.
mands as that little thought is
given to the most sacred matter.
If little time is afforded at the
close of day for leisure, a social
exercise or some incidental duty
is performed much as a means Of
relaxation from the previous
strain and pressure of the day,
and finally physical fatigue force
TO retirement. But since a daily
practice of this matter is really
imperative, is il not more than ia
tai to postpone the matter for a
longer period than one Year,
Shall we. ii tho light il reason,
and against the voice of warning,
coming to us from every quarter
Of the globe, aye, from every local
district and sphere OF human in
terests, issuing from conditions Of
despair and irrevocable mistakes,
shall we continue TO hold this all
important matter in reserve for a
more convenient time Nay rather
let us in the quiet with our con.
sciences, ere the new year shall
dawn, open reyerenily the ledger
and give it thoughtful and prac-
teal survey. We need to know
how our moral liabilities and as
sets compare.
One or the other, or both, have
been accommodating for years.
Soon the eternal accountant will
request the book to be closed and
forwarded, to be reserved until
the final day Of reckoning. There
it will appear as we shall have left
it. Could it be placed with the
mortal remains in the casket, it
would not be of such vital mat
ter. But while the accommodations
may be neglected, the account re-
mains. Let us, then, pause at this
most logical point to ascertain
our moral standing. First, as to
our

WHY NOT COLD STORAGE
PLANT IN SNYDER.

Ii some enterprising man or
association Of men would establish
cold storage warehouse in Snyder
It would save thousands of dollars
to our people. In that way fruit,
vegetables, butter, eggs and many
other products could be cared for
and marketed without loss. With
out such an institution a few pounds
If butter and a few dozen eggs will
glut the market, and as for veget-
ables, which are now abundant,
there is practically no market. With
cold storage facilities a manager
could keep in touch with the outside
world who could find market for
everything we grow. We hope the
commercial club will take up a
along that line and pro-
vide ways for the people to realize
on the extra efforts made to produce
crops.

Weekly Health Talks
q HoRp ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
by DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and we'll they
(, ray be; but few people understand
the dangers Of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty Of vital Importance
to perform, and ii they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify il. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one OF these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form OF urate
Fllts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
hack - often forming bags under the
cycs. Sometimes the resulting trouble
Is called hcrmatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backacLe. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that a certain com
bination OF remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination TO be harmless,
SO that he made it. up in tablets,
of double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system rs hot coffee
dissolves sugar. II you have uric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too and he will tell you what TO eat
and how 10 live so that more uric acid
will not form in your system. DR.. Pierce
wiz not charge for this advice.

HELIX WHEAT LOOKS
LIKE CROP OF 1918

Wheat yield this year in the Helix
region Is expected to be about the
kame as last year or slightly lower. ac-
rording to estimates made today. The
region last year produced an average
OF 81 bushels to the acre, some going
as high as As.
The hot weather about three weeks
ago scorched the grain some in the
Helix country but little damage re-
suited from the frost previously. Near
Waterman the yield promises 10 be
exceptionally good. Harvest will not
begin before July II. The acreage
this year is practically the same as
that OF last year
Threshing has begun near Echo and
good quality of grain is being pro-
duced. Just how heavy it is yielding
10 the acre has not been reported
here. Harvest will be general in the
west end of the wheat belt by Mon
day
Samples OF turkey red wheat from
Morrow county. near lone, have been
received here. The wheat tests so
pounds to the bushel and Is of excel
lent grade. The lack of rainfall in
that country has tended to keey the
bushel per acre ratio down.
