THE COUNTRY DOCTOR

Newspaper work has its troubles
and tribulations, but after having for
weeks now watched the work OF To-
cal doctors, the writer has no hank
ering to change his occupation, even
If it could be done. Talk about long
hours. A country doctor during an
epidemic puts in every one OF the "a
hours in the day. It's safe bet that
some days they don't even get out of
their clothes, and only snatch some
minutes sleep off and on while on a
particularly good stretch of roa.:,
where the horses can look cut fer
themselves. The grit and endurance
shown by a country doctor is simply
heroic. They are entitled to the az
probation and gratitude Of the peo-
pie, and the most practical way OF
showing it is by paying the doctor
bills promptly. AS a rule the doctor
is too busy thinking of the physical
welfare of others to give thought
to his own financial welfare. Pay
your doctor promptly-in every case
he has really earned more thar he
asks-Ex.

BREAKS HEART OF MAN
WHO SCORNED HER AT FIRST

When Pendleton Gray met Mavis
Hawn, the Kentucky mountain girl,
he was constrained to scoff at her.
He didn't realize that ten years later
the same Mavis shining under the
brilliancy of education would break
his heart. This is one of the situations
in Heart o. The Hills" adapted from
the story by John Fox, Jr., and in
which Mary Pickford makes her latest
appearance at The Princess theatre,
River Falls, March 1926.
AS Mavis Hawn, Miss Pickford
takes the role Of girl whose father
has been killed by an unidentified
mountaineer and whose mother is on
the verge of re-marrying. Mavis OPP
poses the marriage for she believes
that the sutton merely wants to wed
her mother in order to get possess
ion of valuable coal lands owned by
the Hawns.
Oddly, Mavis is in love with the son
of the widower who is counting her
mother. Both Mavis and young ia
son Honeycutt are displeased with the
life they have been leading and they
plan to marry when they are sufficient
age. Other influences enter their lives
however, and they separate in going
to diffrent schools.
They return to their mountain
homes in time to find that their
parents marriage has been a terrible
mistake. Widow Hawn is frail and
weak under the cruel treatment of the
rough Steve Honeycutt and she sorely
regrets the marriage. Mavis and ia
son arrive at the home of their I'M
happy parents to hear the Widow
Hawn threaten to disclose the fact
that Steve Honeycutt killed Mavis,
father.
Enraged the elder Honeycutt makes
ready to choke Widow Hawn to death
when the rifles of Mavis and Jason
are brought into action. Then most
pleasing incident in the story takes
place.-adv.

BARBS TO BE MET BY
 MACHINE GUNS
Explorer Will Also Use Mustard Gas to Fight
 White Cannibals -

New York, Jan. 1e-Mustard gas and machine guns are to be used by Captain Harry de Windt, an English explorer, against the poisoned arrows of a tribe described as white canni- bals' on Tiburon Island, on the Paci- fc coast. he announced here today. Captain de Wtndt said he would leave New York in a few days to lead an expedition of six civilians and three score Mexican soldiers to the island. Tiburon is said to have rich deposits of pitchblende from which radium is made.
 The island is about 40 miles from Guaymas, Mexico, which, in turn, is only about 48 hours by rail from Go ronada Beach. Cal. The inhabitants are said to be descendants of Dutch, Swedish and German prisoners who escaped from Mexican prisons se7- l centuries ago. Of sixteen pc A known to have visited the islam. -4l the past few years, in parties of two and three, only nine are said to have returned alive, the others falling vic tims to the faXen-haired, blue-eyed, white Indians as the Mexican peons call them.
 -Four miles from the Mexican
 coast" said MT. de Windt, "Tiburon
 is easily accessible. Yaqut Indians. who live on the mainland, call IT.
 buron the Island of Death for the reason that any person who lands on
 it Is shot by poisoned darts and then
 eaten by the natives. The cannibals,
 in addition to bows and arrows, use
 an ancient blunderbuss. They are
 supposed. to number from 500 to D. 900 persons.
 'Besides myself, the expedition I will lead will consist of Mackenzie Grieve, the companion of Harry Hawker when he fell during his at tempted transatlantic flight; an ex- pert radium mining engineer, an ex- pert copper mining engineer Anton Gibbon, nephew of President Car ranza of Mexico, in whose name the concession permitting the exploration of the island was issued, 8 man ser want and sixty Mexican soldiers. as- signed to the party by the Mexican government. imagine the search ings on the island will consume about three or four months" --

POPULATION OF
 ITALY GREATER THAN BEFORE WAR

Rome, Jan. 19.-Ita1y has emerged from the war with a greater popula- ton than she had before, though with a considerably leasened number of men. This is due to the addition of 2,0oo,oo0 by the restoration of Italian territory heretofore under Austrian rule and to the high birth which, 1t is estimated, kept the popu- lation up to its normal of 6,000,0O0, despite the loss of 5o0,000 by war.
 The trend of the population toward the cities Is great but perhaps not greater than in other European coun- tries. Munition works and war i1,- dustries of all sorts attracted 1abc- to the farms and villages. Many families which became rich during the war have moved to the important cities and are spending their money lavishly for luxuries. One newly-rich family in Rome hung an entire apart ment, including the servants quar- ters, with elaborate tapestries, and purchased seven pianos.
 The population of Milan has grown from 5S9,000 in 1914 to 75O,OO0. Genoa has increased from 25O,0o0 to 30o,0O0. Naples had 66s, s,0OO at the opening of the war and now has S00,000. Venice was in danger dur ing so much of the fighting that 1t was deserted temporarily by much of it's population and is no larger now than it was before the struggle began. Florence grew but little during the war and was less affected by the world crisis than any other large Italian city.
 Taranto and spezia, the two great folf lfov ' markedly. Taranto had about TO- 900 inhabitants in 1914 and it now has 1s0,000. All the Allied fleets center there and its shipyards, arsen- als and naval supply works have been greatly increased. Ten years ago Spezia had only 1000 or 5000 in- habitants. It is now a city of 1OO,- 900.
 Terni, an industrial city located sixty miles from Rome, has grown In ten years from a city of $500 inhabi- tants to 54,000. It has greater water power than any other industrial city Of Italy.

Hartford, Jan. 19-When the East ern League moguls gather in New Haven Wednesday afternoon, they will have plenty of business ahead of them. Although the schedule com mittee was appointed at the annual meeting of the league, held in Pitts field, Mass. last October, the clubs that will make up the league during the coming campaign are not yet cer- tain and the schedule committee has been unable to do anything towards making up the slate. The Leagues roster will undoubtedly be definitely decided at the Wednesday session and it is very likely that one man, who has made it a business Of compiling schedules, will be given the job this year.

 After carefully considering the ad- visibility of opening the Stratford bowling alleys on Sunday Martin Knapp, prourietor of the alleys has after announcing that the alleys would be opened for business Sun days reconsidered the announcement of last week and decided to keep his place of business closed on the Sab bath day. MT. Knapp arrived at his latest decision during the latter part of last week after consulting some of the local resid ents and officials who did not agree with him relative to the law covering the opening of bowling alleys on Sunday. MT. Knapp stated that while he did not think that he would be violating any laws by opening his place of business on Sunday yet he did not care to antag- onize any of the local residents, and for that reason the place was not opened yesterday as was announced.

 Excellent work on the part of the members of the Stratford fire depart ment prevented a bad fire Saturday afternoon when they were called to the residence of Theodore Blackert on Johnson avenue where a. workshop in the rear of his home had caught fire and was burning quite freely when the department arrived. The fire was materially assisted by a strong north west wind which endangered 8, num- Der of houses close by which were probably saved by the record time made by the local fire lalddies who ex- tinguished the blaze with small dam

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and Ioggy. When your kidneys get them. like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache. sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours. tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic +winges The urine is cloudy, full of ,ssufment channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then 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 clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
