WATER ExECAvATEs RESERVOIR

Directed by man, water is digging
large reservoir in Kansas City, and be-
sides is carrying away the earth excavated
and with it. filling small lake that is
considered undesirable. The site of the
reservoir is in municipal park near the
edge of high cliff, at the base of which
is the lake. Streams from two 3-inch fire
hose are played, "a hours day, on the
area set aside for the reservoir, and the
material lossened in this manner is carried
suspended in the water to the lake by
6-inch pipe. BY using this method, the
contractor doing the work avoids damag-
ing the improved roads in the vicinity by
heavy hauling, which would be necessary
if the excavated dirt were taken away in
wagons.-Ex.

AFTERMATH

The boatswain does not pipe us now, the
coxswain does not call;
We do not stir at reveille and rise to
curse it all.
Gone are the watches, ships and crew;
the danger, toll and strife;
The war is over now and we are back
in civil life.
Yet shall we, shall we soon forget that
life of yesterday,
The ships, the men, the ports, the stars,
the seas, the open way?
In future years amid the joys of friends
and home again.
Will dreams not come like rising tides to
haunt US now and then?
Will dreams not come like channel dawns
to tow us from the room?
Will ships not rise before our eyes and
beckon in the gloom?
Shall we not hear as through fog some
lonely bellbuoy ring
And yearn again for ships and men and
high adventuring?
Aye, memories shall come again like mists
above the sea-
And all the years ahead shall know and
breathe the used-to-be.
The used-to-be of ships, of men, blue
water, wind and skies
And who, shipmates, among us now
would have it otherwise?

TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME"

TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME"
Yesterday is gone, today is here,
So finish the task that's begun;
Be the task big or small, have no fear
For the morrow that never may come.
Yes, yesterday is gone, today is here,
Be you far from the ones that you
love,
Don't say, "Well, tomorrow I'll 60 to
them sure;"
Tomorrow may never come.
Now that yesterdays is gone, and today is
here,
Let's not leave a thing undone;
Nor wait for the morrow to spread our
good cheer
For tomorrow may never come.

MOTION PICTURE. SHOW

The weekly motion picture show was
five reel Goldwyn production, "A Perfect
36," with Mabel Norman and a capable
supporting cast. This comedy was an ex-
cellent one for Miss Normand to show her
ability as a comedienne and she kept
every one in a tempest of irrepressible
laughter. Her failure in taking up the
trade of her deceased father as a paper
hanger was ridiculous and she was not
any more successful when she went on the
road as sales lady for a waist company.
But her failure in these adventures and her
trip on the pullman" only created the
proper spirit of mirth and we imagine
everything ended we'll even if the operator
had some difficulty in showing the last
part of the reel.

MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if Back Hurts or Bladder
 BOthers.

If you must have your meat every day eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irri- tatcd, 0bliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take table
 poonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate
 luggish kidneys, also to neutralize he acids in urine, so it no longer ir- 'itates, thus ending bladder weak less.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot njure, and makes a delightful ef- ervescent Whitewater drink. Adv

Chicago Grain.

Chicago. H., Feb. 13.--Com devel- oped fresh strength today largely as q result of farmers persistent refus- al to sell. The market closed ner- vous. 5-8 cent to 2 3-8 cent net higher, with May 132 7-8 to 33, and July 29 3-4 to 1.30. Oats gained half to 5-S to 1 IS cent. Provisions ranged from 12 cent decline to five cents advance.
 Prices in the corn market showed an upward slant as soon as trading began, but the bulls were tempor- ariy routed by speculative selling based on depression in New York stocks. Reports that there had been big purchasing of rye for the sea board tended further to lift the corn market, and so did New York stock market rallies and a belief which became prevalent that there would be no rail strike.
 Independent strength was shown by the oats market.
 Provisions averaged lower with hogs, although it was said cash de mand for meats improved.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Feb. 13.--Advances that approached the spectacular oc cured in the price of cotton today, heavy buying appearing soon after the opening and continuing for some time. Much of the demand was for short account, over confident shorts becoming very nervous after having djgcsted the optimistic statement from Secretary Houston regarding financial problems generally. Toward the end of the session early buyers turned sellers to realize profits. Last prices were at net advances of 66 to 101 points.
 Something of better demand for spots was reported at a few interior points and spots here were marked up 50 points to 39 cents for middling.
 Around the opening prices were higher in response to higher Liver pool than expected but after first buying orders were filled the market turned into a quiet and sagging af-- fair, but on the soft spot the real trading movement of the day com- menced. Unfavorable weather over the whole belt and the rise in ster- ling contributed to the markets etraupfh

Helene's Married Life By May Christie Copyright by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

"Oh, please don't worry yourself! I daresay I'll find ways!"
 She exited, leaving much -snubbed guest behind her!
 Breakfast was prolonged affair at Thorny Grange. The guests de- scended at what hour they chose. Our host himself rose early. It was his custom to take brisk walk before the morning meal.
 Ugh! Isn't it chilly?" shivered Alice, warming her pretty, much ringed hands at the cracking wood fire in the breakfast-room. q hate to appear before the day is proper ly warmed!"
 She flung coquettish glance at Tony, who was helping himself to kidneys and bacon. That young man made some absurd rejoinder, to the effect that Alice's presence was all the sunlight he required!
 Then, catching sight of me, he flushed.
 "Oh, I didn't see you, Helene.' He seemed quite disconcerted. Indeed, the dual role of swain in gay young spinster and to coy married woman must be difficult to maintain! You look wonderfully fresh this morning."
 curtsied, laughing.
 "If Alice is the sun, then let me be the morning dew!" For some un- known reason, the weight of my heart was lighter today. Alice turned her eyes on both of us. They held that innocent baby stare which is so often the forerun- ner of storms. Don't forget that the sun dispcls the morning dew!" she observed pouting little. . Tony. laughed outright. "Brayo, Alice! really didn't give you credit for such repartee!"
 Alice bit her lip. Tony's remark was not entirely tactful. But personally, credit Alice with more brains than do her friends. For in. stance, am sure that Alice could be dangerous. Stupid people may be annoying, but they are seldom dan gclous.

THE DAILY GRAPHIC
COTTON IN SHARP
 ADVANCE; S6 UP
 TTRADING CLOSE

New York. Feb. l3.-There was a very sharp advance in the cotton mar ket today with old crop months sell ing about $6 bale above the closing figures of Wednesday. The general list closed firm at Il net advance of 95 to 14o points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance owing to the firm showing of both Liverpool and New Orleans over the local holiday This initial advance met good deal of realizing and renewal of local and Wall street selling but the offerings were absorbed on reactions with Liverpool particularly heavy buyer. There was also some buying by domestic trade interests and the market later became sensationally active and strong on covering by Wall street shorts owing to the improvement in the stock market and easier call money rates. The activity of this demand evidently alarmed other shorts and the buying movement be- came more general on the advance. New crop months were relatively quiet. The volume of business tap cred off during the last hour and there was considerable realizing but last prices were within a few points of the best. The firmer ruling of sterling exchange was factor on the advance and private cables said the strength in Liverpool was due largely to the demand from Man chester.

With an air of complete nonchal- ance which indeed she must have been very far from feeling, Alice slipped down from her perch
 Helene, you couldn't possibly lend me 50 pounds
 I drew back startled. I had ai- ways looked on Alice as wealthy woman, from the day of her marriage with the well-to-do MT. Anstruther of Anstruther Lodge, up to the pres ent time.
 "Oh, don't look so startled!" she said cooly, "the house if Anstruth- CT isn't going bankrupt yet! But my husband will make no end of fuss if he finds out about my card debts Tony and lost 30 pounds last night. Besides, I owe 40 to that horrid lit tie spinster, Mary Higgins. She's been pestering me to death for ages. saying she's hard up, and must have the money. I invited her down to the weekend, hoping to stave off the evil day. But she's quite adam ant! Unless pay her quickly she'll go and tell my husband. And then the fat will be in the fire!"
 "But, Alice, why associate with such people? Your husbands worth 50 of that crowd. Why not go to him and make clean breast, and let him settle up, and"
 She interrupted me with a shrill laugh that wasn't pretty.
 "And then he'd make me swear I'd never touch a card again! No, Hell enc, don't preach to me! I asked you down here for your own best inter est. I wanted to give you a fair chance with Travis Lloyd. And this is all the thanks get, lecture!"
 I felt hugely uncomfortable. II seemed to me as tho were here on false pretenses! I had come down tc Jim St. Aubyns-and here was I, al ready involved in all manner of un- pleasing situations!
 "Please don't say another word about Mr. Travis Lloyd" My voice was cold. "As for lending you 5( pounds, Alice, I haven't got the mon ey. If 20 would be of any use, you can have it."
 Alice tossed her head. She evident ly believed that I was stingy.

CHAPTER XII.
 Altho I thought Alice rather fool ish, I didn't contradict her. There certainly was mystery about Travis Lloyd But I didn't care to discuss our kindly host with Alice. And contradiction is to Alice much as d red rag is to bull.
 "I wonder how the poor fellow of yesterdays accident is getting along?" I forced myself to remark, fair face.
 She didn't even blush. To my as- tonishment and indignation, she even gave tiny yawn.
 "The tiresome man.! Why did you insist on bringing him to our place, Helene? Why didn't you insist on bringing him to the nearest hos pital?"
 This was too much!
 V only obeyed the doctors orders" I said stiffly. "You- surely didn't wish the man to die"
 "Now don't get angry. Anger is so ageing. That's the worst of Ti- tianheaded things like you, Helene! You ffire up at nothing. Thank heav- en, blondes of my type are much more placid"
 I had to smile. Alice is so com placent. And yet her remarks are often in atrocious taste. She was acting we'll, too, in calling my Jim tiresome. Perhaps she was wondering, inwardly, if suspected anything.
 I screwed my courage up, and took the. plunge.
 Have you no idea who he is, the injured man? Does he not live in the neighborhood ?" Alice yawned again.
 "Oh, you do love the doldrums No I never saw the fellow in my life before! Of course we com municated with the police at once My husband and the doctor went thru the contents of his pockets, too. But they couldn't find letter or card to give them any clue"
 "And-and what are you going tt i do about it?" l stammered, trying not 1 to look self-conscious. If they fail I suppose we'll have to advertise"

 Trying Accused Germans by Default

Paris, Feb. 13.-Premier Millcrand of France, who is attending the meet ing of the supreme allied council in London, is energetically insisting up- on the execution of the cxtradition clause of the Versailles treaty and urging if the Germans refuse to sur render men accused of war crimes that they be tried by default, says the Echo de Paris.
 ''Germany's proposal that she try the alleged culprits is no more like ly to be adopted at London than in Paris" says the Petit Parisien, which adds the council will establish the culpability of former. Emperor Will liam and again demand his cxtradi- tion from Holland. On the other hand, the Matin says, 1t is informed that altho . firm note will be sent to Germany, the door will be left open for further discussions, con- alterations being taken of Premier Lloyd Georges suggestions and the political situation in England.
