The alacrity with which members of
the Windham County Fish and Game
club rallied around County Warden Met
calf in the face of an apparent attempt
to get his job away from him is the
best sort of evidence of how he stands
among the sportsmen of the county. In
fact, it is no exaggccation to say that
he is the most cfficieTt officer the state
fish and game department ever had in
this county. Commissioner Leavens's
opinion of him has been recently cx-
pressed thus; Il have considered County
Warden Metcalf a very valuable man,
fair toward all classe4 of sportsmen, an
expert in estimating damage to farm
crops and intensely loyal to the depart
ment. If he will accept a reappoint-
ment I certainly believe it would be for
the best interests of the state to retain
him"

all the heroism that there is in the

Fame and acclaim, after all, amount
to very little. The world moves and
grows from the summed-up product of
its average good man.
And SO to those Of whom I write,
let there be attention paid-and hon

them ever become discouraged or dis
appointed because great crowds do
not come to sing praises at their door.
For in the infinite heavens there is al
ways an orchestra playing to their

from the standpoint of the national welfare, con-
tinues, in part as follows:
"The farming interest is not comprised en-
tirely, however, of those who actually live on the
farms. Something like 40 per cent of our farms
are rented and great many of the owners live
in cities and villages. This means that among
the merchants, lawyers, doctors, real estate OPP
orators, bankers and insurance men of our cities,
and especially the cities and villages in agricul-
tural sections, there will be found owners of
farms or men whose business is directly depend
ent on or connected with farming.
"The amount of capital invested in farming
is large and constantly increasing. In 1910 the
value of all farm property was approximately
Sal ZOO, 900, more than the capital of all
the manufacturing establishments, railways,
mines, and quarries in the United States. The
value of farm property in 1919 is conservatively
estimated at more than SOL 900, 100000 From
1860 to 1890 this value increased steadily but
during the decade beginning with 1900 the in
crease in the value of farm property was greater
than the entire accumulation CT farm property

ERNESTINE

Ernestine has an origin Of lofty
dignity. She is one of the Eagle
names. Like many of the feminine
names connected with mythology, the
Eagle occupied a position Of great re-
spect and even alteration among the
ancients, and has name with various
suffixes and prefixes furnished many
Of the cognomens then in vogue.
In Scotland the word for eagle was
"erne" and the name was found in all
countries where there were mountains,
the homeland of the king of birds.
Arnridur, or Arneidur, was the first of
the eagle ladies. She was said to be
the daughter of Asbiorn, of the
Gebrides, who was sold to an Iceland
er named Katell Thymr. This lady
had the good fortune to find quantity
of silver sufficient for her ransom be-
meath the roots of tree. but she de-
cided to remain the wife of Thymr
and goes down in history as one of the
famous women of Iceland.
The next step in the evolution of
Ernestine was Arnthora, and later

Why, do You know, I have already
gained 10 pounds in weight and have
just finished my third bottle. Not
only that, have gotten rid of a case
of stomach trouble that kept me mis-
cradle for two years, as well as all
the after effects of a case of Flu
that came near putting me out OF
business.
When the Flu epidemic struck us
about a year ago, was in such an
awful rundown condition on account
of indigestion that I was an easy vic

stomach, which had bothered me for
two years, troubled me worse than
ever. Besides, that my head ached
continually and l was so nervous l
simply thought l would go distracted.
I tried to work, but couldn't make it
to save my life. / was bilious mos

had the backache and felt tired and
worn-out all the time.
But, as I said, since l began taking

l feel like an entirely different man
| can eat just anything set before me
and l never feel pain or a sign of
| indigestion any more. Neither my
kidneys or liver bother me and my

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a tablespoonful of Salts if
Back hurts or Bladder
bOtherS.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the
entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy. full of sediment, or the bladder
is irritable, obliging you to seek relief
during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces Of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source Of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure: makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-waterdrink, and nobody can
make mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.-Advertisem

so EASY! LIKE
ROLLING OFF LOG
Sore, touchy corns stop hurt
ing, then lift right out
with fingers

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says the
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops Of freezone applied directly On a
tender, aching corn stops soreness at
once and soon the corn loosens SO it
can be lifted out, root and all, without
pain.
A quarter ounce of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but is sui
ficient to take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as 1t is inexpensive and is said not to
inflame or even irritate the surround,
ing tissue or skin. After you lift
away the troublesome corn or callus
the skin underneath is pink, firm and
healthy as the palm of your hand. -

CARRANZA MEN
CALLED MENACE
Mining Engineer Says They Are
Disorderly and Run Away
When Bandits Approach

Washington, Feb. 3.-Carranza Gar
risons are a menace rather than a
protection because the soldiers are
disorderly and run away when bandits
approach, Henry H. Knox, New York
mining engineer, who said he had
twenty years experience in Mexico,
today told the senate committee in
vestigating the Mexican situation.
He said as a result of the United
States policy, .eMexicans now call
Americans white Cinnamon meaning
they are white Hvered eowards-
Because Francisco villa, reserves
all rights to robbery and loot for him~
SELF" his operations are looked upon
with favor by the population, Knox
said.
.eVil1a establishes a certain rough
Justice" Mr.. Knox said, whenever he
regains control of an area. His first
act is to close the saloons.
"Io one else is allowed to rob, and
Villa contents himself with making a
levy on classes of the population able
to pay, saying the money is to go to
his cause and giving receipt. The
levy stands for a certain period"
eHow does that compare with the
Carranza governments methods z! ne
was asked.
.eWe1, Villas system has a certain
finality about it. During the per1od
for which his levy is made, no more
demands are formulated. The Car
rama government makes its levy to-
day. and comes forward with demands
for more tomorrow and on the next
day."
Munitions for the outlaw leader,
the witness said, are captured from
Carranza government supply trains,
or smuggled across the border.
