\ plan for converting the Arctic and
South-Arctic regions of Canada into a
great wool milk and meat producing area
was presented to the Canadian govern
ment by Nilhialmur StefanSson, the Nor
wegian explorer of the Canadian Arctic,
more than two years ago.
His project involved the introduction
into the Canadian north of large herds of
reindeer and also the domcstication and
development Of great herds Of musk OK.
He estimated that there were from 1000
coo t. 2.OO0.000 square miles of land
available for grazing in n climate too Sc
we're for cattle but where reindeer and
musk OK exist all the year round. In proof
Of his argument, he cited the Introduction
by the American government of reindeer
herds into Alaska. The explorer declared
that the growth of these animals in the
far north would help to solve the food
shortage then existing.
The Canadian government appointed n
committee to investigate his project. 1t
was represented that there Is an abundant
growth of vegetation in the Arctic regions
of Canada lin the summer and that the
musk OK and reindeer could Craze on it
throughout the entire year.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for a while if your BLADDER
troubles you

When YOU wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-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 loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving 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 twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
Get sore, water scalds and you are Obliged
TO seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
. tablespoonful in a glass OF water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneye will then act fine. This famous
ealts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hthia,
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.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes 9 delightful eneIs

SENATOR'S SAMPLES
WIN APPROPRIATION
ASHURST, WITH BOX OF FIGS
AND DATES, GETS MONEY
FOR EXPERIMENTS.

WASHINGTON, D. CA box of
figs and a box of dates caused the SEN
ate today to add $4,000 to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill. Senator
Henry Fountain Ashurst, of Arizona,
was the originator of the successful
'lobby" by appealing to the stomachs
of his colleagues.
Senator Ashurst brought into the
chamber and passed around the figs
and dates. Senators on both sides soon
were munching them. The Arizona
senator explained they were Smyrna
dates and figs grown in California.
They grow them to an extent in his
own state.
The $51, 900 carried in the agricul-
tural bill for carrying on further tests
with fruits was insufficient, Senator
Ashurst said. Work was now in prog
ress, for instance, Sin crossing a tan
gerine orange with a grape fruit and
it looked good" Senator Ashurst said
he might pass around some California
wine for testing-and there was no
objection.
Finally the senate made the appro-
priation sol 900, which is for the study
of crop plants and the testing and
breeding of varieties thereof.

PARKING OF CORSETS
is DENIED BY WOMEN
MEN AND WOMEN OF SOCIAL
PROMINENCE ARE DISTRESS
ED BY THE REPORT.

STAMFORD, Conn. - Stamford
men and women of social prominence
who are interested in the Babies Aid
Society, a charitable organization, and
in the Stamford Women's club, were
distressed on Saturday by the publica-
ton of a story that women and girls
who attended dance given under the
auspices of these organizations here
recentlyhad parked" their corsets in
an anteroom and had partaken more
or less freely of Intoxicating liquors.
Mrs. G. A. Stafford, wife of a New
York business man and vice president
of the women's club, said her maid
was in the anteroom from the time the
dance started until it ended and that
the maid asserted no girl or woman
removed her corset.
Mrs. Stafford was in and out of the
room from the beginning to the end
of the dance, she said, and saw moth
ing of the kind. 81 can say that none
of the girls or women who attended
the dance drank intoxicating liquor"
she continued. These stories about
parking corsets and drinking liquor
are all base lies and gossip"

Wants $4,000 For
Two Drinks of Water

LINCOLN, Neb.-The day was
hot; it was i'll the middle of July,
1919, and two men who were
mending the roads of the state out
of Polk county thirsted. The two
young men slaked that thirst, not
with moonshine, but with pure
water, and for that drink the State
is now asked to pay the sum CT
$23,l00, all of which indicates that
in certain cases even a drink of
water comes high. A bill introduc-
ed into the legislature today by
Representative Douglas, of Polk
county, asks that $23,1 be paid
to six brothers, all farmers in Polk
county, because as a result of these
two members of roads shaking their
thirst the farmers lost ffty-three
head of registered Hereford cattle
worth, they say, nearly $500
head. The cattle were in a pasture
of which the water supply came
from a windmill To this windmill
went the road men to get their
drink, and according to the story
of the farmers they carelessly clos
ed the water pipe, shutting off the
water. When the brothers went to
the pasture a few days afterward
they found their herd of cattle
dead of thirst.
