BUT--SWAT FEM

, In a recent photoplay, Douglas Fairbanks, with the aid of camera rickery, walks on the ceiling, just like a fly.
 The feat recalled a former long discussion as to what really enabled flies to walk on a ceiling. It used to be the theory that they owed their ability to perform the feat to each of their feet being a small air-pump.
 Then someone came along and knocked his theory gaIIey-west and folk said it was by means of a vis- cious substance which came from the hairs of their feet.
 Then a Dr. Rombouts proved that they hang on by the aid of capillary adhesion-that attraction between solid and liquid bodies. In fact, 1t was proved the attraction was so great that a fly could hang if it were nearly ffve-tenths again as heavy as it is
 As each fly is supposed to have from 5000 to Il, 900 foothairs. so it is fair to assume each hair is very minute.
 Flies find it difficult to mount a glass surface that is damp, because of the repulsion between the watery a fly makes it's toilet, it is not doing so to look nice for leap year or any thing like that, but really that it might adhere more easily.
 That's the best time to swat 'em.

EMU GAN KICK
 LIKE A STEER

f'The emu is a large bird, half the size of an ostrich,'' says Lee s. Gran dau, Curator of Birds in the New York Geological. Park, writing of ''The Troubles of Father Emu in Boys Life for March. "1t is found only in Australia, where there is also a closely related bird, the cassowary. The wings are rudimentary, so that the bird is unable to fly. But it does not suffer from this lack, for it's strong legs enable it to run with great speed and agility. In fact, the emu is hard to catch and a dangerous opponent when cornered, for it is as elusive as an eel and can kick with tremendous force When engaged in combat it leaps high in the air. and launches a trip hammer blow strong enough to send a heavy man head over heels.
 '"The feathers are loose and hair like, with much the same consistency as dried sea-weed. Each feather ap- pears to be double, for the after shaft, a, small feather which accom- panies the main feather in some birds, here reaches an unusual size. In spite of its apparent inefficiency, however, the plunage is quite water proof, and the. emu can endure al most unlimited amounts of rain, snow and cold without discomfort

BIC EATERS GET KIDNEY TROUBLE: Take Salts at first sign of Bladder irritation or
 Backache.

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and filled with uric acid which the kid neys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmac about four ounces of lad Salts; take table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Hthia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, make a delightful efervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a, mistake by having a good kidney flushing any tine.-Adv.

| A cold is simply an infamma- tion of some part of the air pas sages-throat, 1arynx or bronchial tubes-just like a sore is an in farnmation of the skin. A long continued cold means constant inflammation and this constant inflammation frequently weakens the air passages so that they become an easy point of attack for invading germs of more serious diseases. A "co1d that hangs on" therefore, is simply natures "red flag indicating that there is trouble below" and this warning should never be neglected.
 Nightly applications of Vick's VapoRub will aid nature to clear up that inflammation. Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation attract the blood away from the congested spots

Europe Is Coming Back
 Fast Says New Yorker

again in contact with rational peoples who could supply their needs for many of the necessities of life in ex- change for their wealth of raw ma terials. Austria and Hungary have always been the dark side to the European picture; today their con dition is only aggravated.
 In passing it might be interesting to note why the export foodstum bust ness, especially in dairy products, fell off so badly last winter. While we in America were having the worst wint- CT in many years, Europe was haw- ing summer. Practically no snow fell and as result the cows were in the fields nearly all winter. Fresh milk was plentiful and as a, result all our calculations went wrong for the de- mand of this class of merchandise. This winter was a God send to Flu rope, for if they had experienced our winter they would have suffered badly.
 About eight months ago, on my re- turn from Europe, I expressed the opinion that our export of manu- factured goods would decline, and I see no reason to change that opinion. The day of easy times for the Ameri- can exporter catering to Europe is fast passing, and if he would continue in these markets he must reverse the operation and act as importer. Our own manufactures are not sufficient for 115 900, 900 people, and the Euro pean manufacturer can make up the difference without in any way hurt ing our trade. Copper is practically out of stock with most European manufacturers, and an active demand will undoubtedly enSue.

LINEN MARKETS FTRMER
 SEVERAL BUYERS ABROAD.
Fantastic Prices Being Paid in Bel
 fast Markets.

Many of the large linen buyers from this country are abroad trying to hasten deliveries and to pick up any odd lots of linens that may be available for the fall trade. Business in this market has been quiet as most traders are at home busy with the present Easter trade.
 Recent reports show that fantastic prices prevail at Belfast. Buyers will bid any figure to get goods. The mills are running only twenty-five hours a week because of the dearth of flax and warns, and there has been a wild scramble to pay anything that will induce a manufacturer to guarantee a delivery. Many of the largest manu- fa.cturers are out of the market and will not undertake any further busi- ness until they know they can get flax. It is not a question of price of goods for buyers are more than will ing to pay well.
 During the week a tow yarn that sold month ago for 6z shll1ngs brought so shi1lings and it has been no uncommon thing to hear of prices ten times normal being offered for very ordinary grades of lines It Is reported that the Cambric Combine will advance its December list so per cent. This is the base list for hand kerchief cloths. Substitutes of many kinds are being bought, but many United States buyers want all linen goods and do not care to handle the substitutes if they can avoid it. Some Scotch weavers are offering very handsome samples of cotton danasks and mixtures of flax and hemp But to the buyer who wants all linens and under choice brands these things have only passing interest,
 The January imports of linens amounted to 4,4z0,s6s square yards ocmpared with 647, ,o51 a year ago The seven months receipts of hnenes reached 17,sSs,6 6ss yards. compared
