Educational Tests.

Six tests of knowing whether you
are educated were put forward by
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia university, when he adj
dressed the students from all the
schools Of the Morningside institution
at the first college assembly Of the
term. BY these six tests, said Doc
tor Butler, one may determine wheth-
er he Is being educated, or whether he
Is accomplishing In the university
what he set out to do, or whether the
university is doing what is expected
of 1t.
"Ask yourselves, am / gaining In

PITY THE POOR.

TIL ecourts have allowed the wild
ow of the late Horatio Dodge, au-
tomobile manufacturer, $500,OOC
cut of the estate for her living ex-
penses. 1t was brought out at the
court proceedings that the family
expenses during the last seven
years of Dodge's life was over a
million dollars year. Mrs. Dodge
probably feels that she is facing
a very difficult problem, in being
forced to cut the family expenses
in half.
When the germ of extravaganza
gets into the blood it is just as
hard to eradicate, and in it's way
is just as dangerous as the dead
Hest disease germ. 1t it is the
same whether millions a year OF
hundreds year are involved. This
is noticeable all around us all the
time. People cultivate this germ
of extravaganza during prosperous
times when money is easy, and
when reverses come, like Mrs
Dodge, feel that they are facing a
very difficult problem when they
are forced to discharge their SER
wants, live on less, and, maybe
sell their car to make both ends
meet. It's pitiable.-Ex.

GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast each morning for few
DAYS and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a source OF irr1-
fation. thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure; makes o delightf6 efervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys- clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became Of
your kidney trouble and backache.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Here is another "feeler" fol-
your consideration.
A story has been sent out from
Washington to the effect that ar
alliance has been suggested be-
tween the United States, England
and Japan. Apparently the admins
istration would like to know what
the American people think of such
a proposition.
No doubt such an alliance coulo
readily be formed if our govern.
ment would indicate it's willing
ness to become a signatory.
But much would depend upor
the conditions imposed.
AS matters stand now we ate
constantly facing the possibility
of war with Japan. If there is ne
change in international relations
we must inevitably fight them al
some future time. The whole
world is practically unit in this
belief.
An alliance between the three
countries, based upon terms &C
ceptable to each, would undoubt
eddy prevent such "a war. Futher
more, such an alliance woule
serve to prevent any other country
attacking either England, Japal
or us.
But would terms acceptable tt
us prove equally so to Japan? l
is doubtful. Our interest are tot
widely divergent. And yet al
things are possible when nations
make a sincere effort to live IL
peace and harmony.
Before expressing decided Q
pinion for or against such pro
position we would want to know
more of the details. The fellow
who leaps in the dark never
knows where he will light.
You, as citizen of this com
munity are as vitality interested
in this suggestion as any othel
person in the United States.
What do you think?

SOME GUN.

Some day people are going to
laugh at the fear Germany's big
Bertha, created in the heart OF
Parisians when that city was
startled by the falling proJec-
tiles hurled from machine eighty
miles away. The centuries to come
will know of guns shooting five to
ten toms of death dealing lead and
steel, over mountain ranges, rivers
and plains, to a city three hundred
miles away.
Lets suppose that the United
States should have such a gun
during the next war.
Standing a hundred and fifty
miles off the coast, enemy ships
can lombard our capital Washing
ton, D. C. And if they succeed in
occupying New York harbor they
can subdue our cities as far off the
coast as Buffalo.
If they are of the disposition
which made the Entente powers
throw bombs into the Allied hos
pitfalls, during the early war, the
wonderful hospitals in Rochester,
N. Y. can be destroyed by one
she'll.
OR, suppose Los Angeles and
San Francisco should let their in-
creasing pride go to blows, the
L. AS can subdue the S. F's at one
throw if they hurl projectile
from the mouth of this big gun
from Hollywood into the Golden
Gate.
The new gun is the invention OF
John Temple, a British subject
now living in this country. DR..
Miller R. Hutchinson, noted
American inventor after watching
Temple demonstrate his invention
declared that it will make war
too terrible for nations to en-
gage in.,,
The invention is yet in infant
form; that is to say, it is in the
form of small riviting gun. Be-
fore group of distinguished
scientist, inventors and members
of the United States Ordinance
department of experts, Temple
,fhowed how the small riviting
gun actually can fire steel into
steel plate. 1t is smokeless and
almost noiseless. With the new
riviting' gun, it will be possible
to rivit bolts into a ships hull
without dry-docking the vessel
as the riviting can be dome by a
diver under water.
The proposed giant counter
part of the small riviting gun
will employ the same principal.
If the power can be increased in
proportion to the size, it is said
that the giant gun will be able to
hurl five tons over mountain
ranges distance of from two
hundred to three hundred miles.

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.

''They don't understand" de-
clare university professors when
legislatures provide scant funds,
They don't understand" teachers
declare concerning boards of edu-
cation who increase salaries GIN
gerly. They don't understand, J"
say members of school boards a.
bout taxpayers who vote down
bonds for necessary school houses
or who refuse to sanction living
and saving salaries for teachers.
Why don't they understand? These
are the public's schools. The pub
lie must be made to understand.
The teachers-the public's human
engineering experts-must present
the facts. Once educational facts
are presented with the frequency
and persistency of soap or tobac-
co advertisements, the public,
which has poured out it's substance
for soap and tobacco, will capitu-
late completely to it's own highest
interests in education.
We expend millions of dollars
annually for chewing gum, pleas
ure cars, cigarettes, face powders
and prize fights, and never think
of complaining. Once the advant-
ages of education are tucked in the
public's consciousness as snugly as
are the merits of these pleasure
and vanity thrillers, the public
will clamor for the higher thrills
which come from investing large
sums of money in it's citizenship

THE BONUS AND SALARIES.

J Luxora, Ark. Aug 16, 1921
AS | read so oftenthat so many of
the so-called higher ups are SO Bit
terly against thesoldier bonus bill,
| want to say that | for one am ask
ing the government for any bonus
and | believe there are manyother
that do not ask the government for
anything and they are men who
went through the mud and rain
and the battlefields of France not
only for their own sake but for
thesake of their home and country.
1t seems to me that the so-called
higher ups are raising more howl
about the bonus than the men who
fought their battlesfor them.
Please name just one of them who
would have left their homes and
families and gone in one of these
mems places. Just one name,
please. But the soldier left their
homes and went and fought their
battles for them while they staid
at home, had their good times and
the most prosperous years they
ever saw in their lievs. Now they
are afraid they will have to let
loose some of that easy money and
it is about to break their hearts.
| would like to ask them what
battles they fought in to help win
the war. | have never seen one of
their names on the overseas list
and how many miles did one of
them hike with full field equip
ment with bleeding feet and
nearly starved; with wet clothes
and nearly frozen? How many
days and nights did they stand in
muddy trenches to their knees?
And how many of them who are
opposed to the bonus know what
the soldiers life was in France.
While they staid at home and en-
joyed life and good times, while
we boys left home and good jobs
for a dollar a day a dollar-just
think.
Well, what have they to kick
about now. When they did not
kick when the government paid
to the railroad employees big back
pay, of which was no benefit at
all to the government? 1t looks
to me that it would be better to
give this money to the ex-soldiers
than to waste it as they are doing.
! / see where some big senator said
something about trying to keep
down government expenses. II
they would cut off some of the
government high priced help that
would save millions for the govern
ment. / believe that the fellow
who kicks against the soldier is a
worse Stacker than the one who
| lodged the draft.
I may be wrong, but that IS
the way / feel, for it sure looks
foolish to me for someone who
has a good job to be against the
fellow who defended the country
with his life and only got dollar
a day. just think dollar day
while every one else drew from
So to $40 a day.
From an ex-soldier.
