HOLSTEINS AVERAGE 100
POUNDS BUTTER YEARLY
Record Holders in AZ States Produce
Total of 52,111 Pounds.

The total yearly production of lead
ing Holstein cows Of the United
States-the record holder for each
state-is 4l689 pounds butterfat,
equivalent to SILL pounds of butter,
according to the advanced register
records of the Holstein- Friesian Asso-
citation of America, recently announced.
This production is sufficient to supply
each family with one pound OF butter
in cities the size of Rochester, N. Y,
and Portland, Ore.
The average production of each cow
is LOO pounds of butter in one year,
which is more than the yearly butter
yield of five average dairy cows in the
United States, the records show. How
ever. it is explained, the production is
but 1.3 times that of the average of the
1924 pure bred Holstein cows which
have completed yearly records under
supervision OF the state agricultural
colleges and admitted to the advanced
register Of the national breeders asso-
citation.

Drugs Excite
the Kidneys,
Drink Water
Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble
because we often eat too much rich food.
Our blood is filled with acids which the
kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish, the
eliminative tissues clog and the result
a general decline in health.
0Whcn 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 if you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts. Take "a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for q
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys. to neutralize the acids in the
system so they no longer are a source
Of irritation, thus often relieving"blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
lure, makes a delightful effervescent
iithia-water drink and belongs in every
home, because nobody can make a mis-
take by having a good kidney flushing
any time. By all means have your ply
sician examine your kidneys at least
twice a year.

WOMEN NOW WANT EQUAL

Ell of New Orleans yesterday demand

WAS A PRISONER
F0RTY-FIVE YEARS
MAN SENTENCED FOR MUIR.
DER FREED AS INNOCENT.
SCIENCE TO RESCUE.

Il didn't kill my wife! l didn't kill
my wife!" For As years Louis Danval,
convict in one of the prisons of Paris,
France, told that to his jailers, to his
fellow convicts.
Jailers laughed at him. His fellow
convicts laughed at him. But Danval
insisted that he didn't kill his wife"
Made Fun of Him.
Jailers and convicts made fun OF
Danval on another score. In the dim
light OF his cell at night Danval would
pore over medical journals and read
every line Danval had passion for
reading medicine. After As years of
reading he became somewhat of doc
tor.
What good will that do your"
his fellow convicts asked. You're in
for life Are you going to be doctor
in the after life.
But Danval knew perfectly well
what he was about He had been a
druggist One day-it was in 1873
his wife was discovered dead. The
doctors found arsenic in her stomach.
There was but one conclusion-Dan-
val being d druggist, had poisoned
his wife
Then the trial. Danval protested We
hemently that he hadn't killed his
wife. But the inevitable day came
when Danval heard the Judge sentence
him to prison for life.
Starts His Refrain
That was As years ago. Danval be
gan from the first day to tell his jailers
and the other convicts that he didn't
kill his wife He also began to read
medicine.
Twenty years ago-he read in one
medical journal that every healthy hu-
man body contains a quantity OF ar
senic. Triumphantly he showed that
to his iai1ers and demanded new trial.
They laughed at him. Danval was one
to be laughed at A queer sort, read
ing medical journals in his cell at night.
Medical science advanced. Again
Danval read that it takes so much ar
senic to kill a person; that different
quantities are found in different bodies;
that arsenic is present in every body.
Danval showed the journal to his
jailers. He protested that the amount
of arsenic found in the stomach of his
wife was not sufficient to kill. At first
the jailers laughed. Then one thought
it high time they stopped laughing at
Danval.
His case was brought to the atten-
ton of the court. The proceedings OF
his trial reviewed Danval was re-
leased from prison the other day and
granted an income the equivalent of a
thousand dollars year by the govern
ment.

 Of pity have none for the weak or
 the old IF
 And all the little people hearing that knew it to be true. Rough Brother North Wind is pitiless. He always has been pitiless. He always will be pitt less. Pity is something of which she knows not the meaning. He comes from land where only the stout of heart and the strong can live. To these he gives freely of his own strength, but from those who are weak he takes what little strength they have. So it is not to be wondered at that he had no thought for the little people who were really prison CTS, his prisoners, in their own homes. For two days and a night they had no chance to get out to look for food and some of them were getting very, very faint with hunger. To add to their misery they were having hard work to keep from freezing. You know, the warmest coat of fur or feathers will not keep out the cold if there is no heat from within, and it is food that makes heat within.
 Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel had nuts stored away and so they were not hun gry. Whitefoot the Wood Mouse had seeds where he could get them so he didn't mind. But Tommy Tit and Drum mer the Woodpecker and Sammy Jay and Mrs. Grouse and other little feath- cred folks shivered and shook, for their stomachs were empty and they knew that if they could not get out soon to get food they would die. Even Granny and Reddy Fox were getting desperate. And all the time rough Brother North Wind roared and howled and knew no pity.

They had almost reached the building when Ivan darted past them and muttered some threat as he glared at Avril. At his unexpected appearance Judy grasped Avrils arm. That's the man I saw in the hall this morning. Who is he"
 By this time Ivan was lost in the crowd and the girls hastened towards their office. "Oh, it's only some crank, suppose" replied Avril, but her lips were pale and glance of terror lin gered in her eyes. Then fearing lest Judy might notice her agitation, she laughed as she said, You'll make me as scared as you if you grab my arm again like that"
 Judy slowly relaxed her hold of Avril's arm but she had a strange feel ing that Avril knew the wild-eyed man; as she had seized her arm she felt sudden tremor pass over Avril.

Many Boys Seek Boss Instead of An
 Opportunity, Writer Says
 With the increasing complexity of life there are necessarily fewer business and more jobs. Most well-bred Amer ican boys come out of school with no idea except to get a respectable white collar position. They have been under direction for twenty years or more and they look not so much for an opportu- nity as for a boss. The sons of our Jewish and Italian and Greek friends, having no opportunities" and no standards" plan differently. They will shine shoes or sell papers just long enough to purchase shoe shining stand or a paper route, and with that small beginning they are on their way to in- dependence. To a considerable extent the old American ideal of every man his own employer" has passed from us to them.
 This does not imply, of course, that every American lad ought to be at the head of his own enterprise. Rather, would suggest this-that in all educa- tional experience there is nothing which quite takes the place of a sense of per sonal responsibility, and that sense is never so keen as when profit and loss are involved. So at some time in their upbringing I would have boys engage in business where they would have the whole burden, experiencing the thrill of possible gains and the sobering worry of possible loss. It might be minute business-a refreshment. booth by the roadside, or a contract for laying a ce- ment walk, or anything you choose ]; the size makes no difference, it is the char acter of the thing which counts.
