Sewage Disposal Plant May Not be
Completed This Year

Geo. W. Kemper, who IS in charge
Of the building of Minot's 1885 ,NOO.0
sewage disposal plant, will be unable
to proceed with the work this season
unless the additional S135, 100000 bonds
are sold. The state University de-
partment bargained for the bonds and
has already advanced s15O,O0O.0O, but
at present seems unable to furnish the
additional money. Mr.. kemper could
easily have the plant working by fall
could he keep on with the work. He
has advanced considerable of his own
money already, but naturally there
is a limit.
In the meantime, the farmers down
the river can continue to hold their
noses at certain seasons of the year.

st Augustine, Fla, Feb. 11,-While

known that In the very near future
he would begin a series OF conferences

MINIATURE STORMS IN CITY
Movements Of Air Currents, pevel.
oped by High Buildings, Make
Study That Is interesting.

You may learn many interesting
things about air currents. and the way
storms develop by watching the move
mcnt Of pieces of paper, or perhaps
your hat, as 1t Is whirled about the
street.
A variety Of miniature windstorms
are developed by the high buildings
Of our cities or the forms of streets,
which viii repay careful study. On
hot day even. when the air Is per-
fectiy quiet, the atmosphere, as 1t be-
comes heated tends to rise against the
sides OF rocks or buildings, aud II it
travels far enough win develop In a
strong wind, which descends on the
opposite side and plays queer pranks.
A small whirlwind Is often prOdnced
by the action of wind agalnst a cor
uer formed by several buildings. As
the wind travels down a street espe-
cially narrow one, 1t rapidly in
creases in velocity A little will spill
into the side streets, but the main
stream will flow on, gathering mo-
mentum.
Watch the wind strike against the
side Of high building and notice
how 1t mushrooms out on all sides,
splitting into many air currents and
trace these till they come to rest, but
be sure TO hold tightly to your hat in
the meantime.-Boys' Life.

by the Vivian Players at the Opera
House Friday evening under the aus
plces OF the Bennington High school,

The first act was weak and amateur
ish the second was strong, intensely
interest ng, effect We and we'll done.
The third was not so poor as the first
or so good as the second. The cast,
with one exception, was very good
indeed, particularly May True as Nay

India Ink Really chinese Ink.

The intensely black inks have vari.
Gus sorts OF finely divided carbon as
their pigment, and the vehicle in most
instances is some type of oil or var
nish. India ink Is the name often ap-
piled to what Is in reality Chinese
Ink. The best of this variety comes
from the Anhui province and is made
from the lamp black produced when
wood oil is slowly burned In one earth.
enware vessel and the SCOT or lamp
black produced Is collected on the
sides of second jar placed above the
first. A paste is made with varnish
and pork fat and this Is then mixed
with glue. Some ink is made from
the SCOT Of sesame or rapeseed oil,
but in any case the paste Is pressed
into molds. There are, of course,
many grades of this Ink, the lower
being made from the coarser SCOT and
glue. In 1918 the Chinese exported
127000 pounds of this lnk.-Sclentiflc

GOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

II you are troubled with back aches,
Il Is a bet that they are caused by weak
kidneys; they don't perform their du-
ties, and you should look out, as there
IS trouble brewing.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, head
ache. dizzy spells, and It Is more than
likely TO bring on rheumatism.
The urine is often cloudy, full of
sediment, your sleep disturbed by be-
ing compelled to arise, one or more
times during the night, because Of the
pain, irritation and abnormal condition
! of the kidneys and bladder.
If you will take from 10 to 20 drops
Of SEVEN BARKS in little water
after meals, you viii correct the alka-
Unity OF your secretions, thus giving
you undisturbed sleep and peaceful
rest Preparing you for your next days
duties.
When the kidneys are not doing their
duty they allow impurities to accounts
late and be converted into uric acid
and other poisons, which will cause
serious trouble unless they are driven
from your system.
If ypn eat meat regularly, you should
Hush the kidneys occasionally with
SEVEN BARKS, as meat forms uric
acid which clogs the pores, 60 they
can not throw off the poisons.
Don't neglect your kidney trouble

sorry it you do. Get SEVEN BApKS

given the subject llitte serious
thought?

thousand chiropractors who are prac'
ticing their profession in the country
at the present time and that still the
supply is not equal to the demand?

MOST SIXTY THOUSAND patients
have been adjusted at the clinic Of the
Palmer Sshool of Chiropractic, Davon-
port. Iowa?
DO you know that in the recent'Flu
epidemic chiropractors only lost one
case out of $50, or oneninth of one per
cent?
Do YOU know that it has been pro.
ven beyond reasonable doubt that as
a prophylactlc (preventive) method,
Chiropractlc stands head and shoulders
