Our Inquisitive Reporter yesterday asked this question Of four people chosen at random:
 Do you seriously think the apple f1y which Newton discovered the law of gravitation was the same one eaten by Eve in the Garden of Eve. and, if so, what became of the seeds?"

 Canoeing is fine sport on a river or lake, but il is doubtful if the craft were ever meant for use upon the open sea. The chances are altogeth- CT against their safe operation on the high seas when the wind begins to talk and the waves set up an angry roar.
 Large numbers of folks are con- ,inced that the safest place for a canoe is on shore.

Britain corporations do not consider conditions alarming may be deduced from the liberality of their directors.
 Another sign which cheers is the announcement that Landers' Frary & Clark has taken out permit to, build an addition to its Center street unit. This in itself is a small matter, small when the size of the entire establish ment is considered. But it leads peo- ple to the conclusion that the. com pany must be preparing for 'more business.
 The renomination of President Coolidge did much to clear the busi- ness atmosphere to some extent There was never a doubt that he would be renominated. but business men are scary creatures and are from Missouri all the time.

Turkish Diuorce

Custom in Turkey has made almost
any trivial cause sufficient ground for
a man to divorce his wife, 1t has made
the Turk man the owner of the power
to divorce. He may rid himself of his
wife by merely saying before two wit
nesses, 81 divorce you" Then. if he
wishes, he may marry her again for a
second time, divorce her by the same
simple process, marry her third time
and divorce her. But before he mar
ries her a fourth time she must have
been married, if only for one day. to
some other man and then divorced.
If husband chooses, he may indulge
in cubic divorce process by saying
before two witnesses, 81 divorce you
with three divorces. Beatrice Hill

Swamp Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver

Forests Preuent Floods

More than 2,122,970< acres of forest
lands have been acquired by the fed
eral government on the watersheds Of
navigable streams as safeguard
against floods and to promote the reg
ularity of stream flow, it is disclosed
in circular issued recently by the
forest service. The purchase Of the
land was provided for 10 years ago
by the passage of the Weeks law.
The federal government already
controlled large national forests in
the West which to large extent
were located on the watersheds of
navigable streams there, so most of
the land acquired under the Weeks
law is in the East and South.

Colored Onions Repel Germs

In the course of an Investigation of
some plant diseases that attack the
common onion plant, DR.. ]. c. Walker
has discovered that the colored varie-
ties of onions are highly resistant to
the diseases, whereas the pure white
onions succumb at once. The secret is
that the skins of the colored onions
contain chemical which is poisonous
to the germs causing the disease. IL
one of these germs tries to penetrate
into the colored onion bulb the germ is
killed. White onions lack this germ
poison and disease finds them, there
fore, an easy prey.
