Sediment I'm Urine

@. Can you tell me what causes
a sediment like cornmeal in a
child's urine that has set over
night?
A. There are various causes for
formation of sediment in the urine
in standing. In fact, the formation
of such sediment is the usual thing.
In summer the sediment is often the
result of decomposition of the urine
because of the hot weather. Under
these circumstances, sediment con-
sists largely of alkaline phosphates.
In cold weather the sediment may
form readily without any decompo-
sition of the urine, and is due to
the precipitation of urates. In this
case, the sediment disappears on
warming the urine. Unless your
child is not well, you are proba bly,
worrying unnecessarily about the
sediment which appears in the urine
when this has set over night.

There are 1854 systems" for
beating the races. Many of them are
complicated and some of them are
costly. Most of them depend on an
elaborate method of handicapping.
In our 35 years of playing the po-
MES we have tried most of these
systems without success. But at last
we have run into a system that is
a winner. We might charge you
fifty bucks for this system, but we
won't. Well give it to you free.
We were at the Latonia track Tues
day and our old friend Doc Wine
land showed us the system. You
take your program beginning with
the first race and you say this: MY
Mother told me to play this
horse" Count one horse for each
word beginning with the top horse.
This would make the top horse
MY" the next horse would be
Mother" the next would be told"
and so on. The horse that the last
word horse" lands on is the horse
you must play. There being eight
words, the horse would be number
eight, II there are eight or a dozen
horses in the race. If there are less
than eight horses, keep on counting
until you get to the word HORSE"
Then play that horse. Thus in five
horse race you would count down
to five. start from the top again and
you would play the eighth horse
or the third from the top. In
this system You play $40 to win
and $40 place on each horse. Doc
tried the new system last Tuesday
while we were with him, and he lost
$50 and won 1852. This system
picked winners like Lucky B. Re-
gallo and Applejack II. 1t may sound
crazy, but 1t gets the kali.

had a long and distinguished career in

guished himself in the South African
war, being several times mentioned in

for gallantry in battle. During the

Greenfield Recorder

It is a hard task for a state to con
Wet an ex governor Of a crime, and the
result in the Graham case shows that
Vermont intends that justice shall be
done whether the culprit be of high or
low estate. Graham was one of the
most popular figures in his state and
it is highly probable that if he had not
made the misstep for which he has just
been tried, he would have represented
Vermont in the halls Of Congress. The
public attitude toward him was ex-
tremely friendly even after the indict-
ment was returned, and it has been diff
cult for many people to believe that
the case was not one of political per.
secutiOn.
But the jury, although it doubtless
would have preferred to return a differ
ent verdict, did its manifest duty by
bringing finding of guilty after 3
brief elaboration. BY this action Yer
mont s slate is wiped clean, it has tazcI
none of the responsibility for tire cx
governors offense Had there been Z
tendency to palliate or cover up tn,
Graham irregularities, or if the jury
had returned verdict of not guilty
against the weight of the evidence, ther
Vermont would have something to re
greet. AS it is, an unfortunate affai
has been given a fortunate ending.

We do not imagine that anyone finds
any particular pleasure in the Graham
verdict aside from its vindication of the

its further vindication Of the rock bot

that Mr.. Graham would never be con
victed and it was intimated chat his

Vermont in a Snow Storm.

It is amusing for ''us countrymen" to
read in the city papers of the fuss they
make in the great cities over snow
storm New York has more trouble
yer a ten inch fall of snow than Vermont
villages would with three feet The
single track Rutland railroad can run
trains and do business under snow condi-
tions that would put the great New York
Central and Pennsylvania systems out
of business for two weeks. In time of
winter storms it is always noticeable
that the trains from the south are much
more delayed and more often cancelled
than those from the north. Six inches Of
snow stops traffic in New York streets
while it takes at least four to six feet
to keep Vermont doctor from getting
to a patient in time of urgent need.

was usually grandfather who had offered
the prize, and the argument-a vain one
went to the effect that youth who
reached the age of 81 would know enough
then not to fall victim to the lure
of the pernicious weed. Whether any
of the boys ever copied one of those
