SAYS BEES HAVE LANGUAGE
University Professor Asserts That They Also Have Some Sort of
 Photographic System.

Bees have a language and system of telegraphy, according to Profes- sor Francis Jager, chief of the divi- sion of bee culture at the University of Minnesota farm. Wonderful prog rcss has been made in bee culture, but their means of communication still re- main a mystery, according to Profes- sor Jager.
 Professor Jager has conducted many experiments In an effort to learn some thing of the bees mysterious form or communication. In one of them he took the queen bee out of hive, which was four or five feet high. As soon as the working bees discovered their leader was missing they began crying.
 The crying was audible four or five feet from the hive. Within "6 sec onds after the queen bee had been re- placed at the bottom of the hive the crying subsided at the top of the hive. and they showed their joy by standing on their heads. according to Professor JaCer.-St. Paul Daily News.

KEEP YOUNG

People with bad backs and Weak kidneys ara apt to feel old at sixty, Many old folks say; Deans Kidney P.lls help them keep young. Here S convincing case:
 J. P. Howe, Prop. of general store 152 Water St., Santa Cruz, Calif., says: q haven't needed a kidney medicine for the past two Years, as I have had no trouble since last using Deans Kdney Pills. It was oYerlifting that affected my kidneys. I had severs pain in the lower part of my back, but the main trouble was with my hdneys. They didn't vtt properly. The secretions burn ed and there was inflammation in my bladder. II had tried all Known kidney medicines; but they did me no good. Doan's Mdney Pills how eyer did the work for me. l have been entirely free from kidney and bladder trouble for the past two Years" (statement given February 19, 1916).
 On December 4, 1919, Mir. Howe said: 'E neVer miss a chance to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to anyone hear speak of kidney trou- bic. know from experience; there is nothing better for this trouble"
 Price COG; at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-ge Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mir. Howe had. Foster Milburn Co.,. Mfrs, Buffalo; N. Y,

NOW WAREHOUSES ON WATER
Japanese Said to Have Evolved Scheme That Is Ingenious and
 Profitable as We'll.

The time may probably come when the land is OyerCrOwded and people begin to live on water. 'Then we shall be building floating skysCrapers and aquatic parks At any rate, cOngenial Japanese have already launched a scheme which In the opinion of the projectors hits many birds by one stone. The scheme Is the creation of what Is called floating warehouses. During the war Japan built many gOOd-sized wooden ships to aid in the transportation of the allies goods. After the war these ships were dis missed from the service, and since then lay idle in harbors unable to ob- tain cargoes due to postwar slumps in shipping.
 Taking advantage of this circum- stance, a group of men organized a concern called the Marine Warehouse company, with a capital of 10,OOO,OOO yen; bought the wooden ships and started floating warehouse business. The company is now engaged in es- tablishlng eight floating warehouses of 1000 tons leach In the harbor of Kobe. The ships are to be attended by three launches of 1000 tons capacity each. The aquatic warehouses, being exempt ed from extortlonate rent and taxes, md largely free from the danger of fire. in addition tc many peculiar ad- vantages consequential to their nova ble character shall be able, it is claimed, to carry on the business at a much lower rate with greater facility, providing a formidable enemy, in the future, of their terrestrial couSins.- East and West News.

WAS MASTER OF PROFANITY
Intimate of Great Editor Declares Swearing Was More Than Bad
 Habit With Him.

Joseph Pulitzer, the famous blind founder of the New York World, was not always a puriSt in language. At least so writes Charles Chapin, who was for 20 years city editor of the Evening World, in his autobiography, called Charles Chapin's Story"
 "ScmetimeS when l was reading to him he would become eXplOsively pro- fane." writes Chapin. And how shockingly that blind man could swear With him profanity was more of an art than a vice. Once when I had read something to him that made him angry with the writer's stupidity he swore so paSsionatcly and so loud and grew so Choleric and red in the face that l feared something inside of him might snap.
 Suddenly he checked himself md pricked up his ears. There were angry voices In an adjoining room. One of his young sons was having a run-in with his tutor and was forCibly telling what he thought of him. A peculiar expression. mixture of annoyance and amusement came over my employ CTS CountenGrCe.
 "Dcar me he said, T wonder where that boy learned to swear He didn't utter another oath during the remain der of my visit"
