OLD NATIVE STOCK
OF u. S. NOT DYING
BUT PROF. THOMPSON De
CLARES THAT ITS POPULA-
TON IS ON DECREASE.

CHICAGO.-The old native stock
of the United States is not dying and
its greatest increase is in the south,
Prof. Warren E. Thompson, OF Miami
University, told the American Stats
teal Association today.
Although the rate OF natural in
crease in the United States is higher
than in most parts of the world and
such as to make it seem doubtful
whether such an increase can be main
tanned for many decades, still there
are clear indications that the rate is
on the decline in all classes OF popu-
lation, he said.
The studies of families OF college
graduates show in every case that on
the average they fail to reproduce
themselves" he said.
The average number OF children
born to Vassar alumnae has never eX-
ceeded is per alumna.
The study dealing with the classes
from which college students come
rather than with college graduates" "
he continued shows that this whole
class is scarcely reproducing itself and
points to the likelihood that college
graduates at Wisconsin, as elsewhere,
are not reproducing themselves"

Texan Runs a Help

Loss of 81 in Two Years
Sheriff Depends on Honesty of GueSts
Who Select Own Rooms and Put
Payments in Locked Box.

For two years H. L. Brooks, sheriff
and tax collector, has run help
yourself" hotel in the town of Pear
sail, Texas, and in that time has been
cheated out OF only s. Brooks is sat
ished that the American traveller is
an honest person, so he is making
plans to enlarge his hotel
Sheriff Brooks seldom visits the no
tel, where all the work is done by a
servant Guests upon entering the
place find book on which they write
their names and a chart which tells
them the numbers OF the occupied and
unoccupied rooms. The guest chooses
his room, and on another chart finds
out the rates he will be charged.
The guest remains in the hotel as
long as he pleases and when he de-
parts places his payment for lodging
in a sealed envelope and drops it into
a box on the counter Then he de-
parts, and no one is on hand to see If
he has paid the correct amount. Once
a week Sheriff Brooks opens the box
and takes out the money his guests
have paid him.
Sheriff Brooks declares that his no.
tel has been a great success, despite
the fact that there are no clerks, no
active managers, and no house detec
tives. And at that he has been cheated
out of only two dollars.
Sheriff Brooks believes that his no.
tel has no counterpart anywhere in
the world. He declares that he has
found the people honest, and that his
business is so good that he will en-
large the hotel

twenty-five or thirty years ago when

now
Farmers OF Georgia use each year
over two million cords OF wood Tor
fuel on the farm.
The southern pines are the fastest
growing trees we have which are
adapted to so large an area
Pine, under proper methods OF
growth and protection, should grow
two cords of wood or 500 feet OF lum-

Georgia consumes more lumber
than she produces. We import yearly
two hundred million feet OF lumber
into the state and send out each year
over five million dollars for lumber.
Some Of the pine lands OF Georgia
are now yielding their third crop OF
timber"

If Kidneys Act
Bad Take Salts
Says Backache often Means You
Have Not Been Drinking
Enough Water

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it may
mean YOU have been eating foods which
create acids, says a well-known author
ity. An excess of such acids overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kid
news get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels. removing 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 a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your phar1na-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass OF water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. his
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia. and has been used for years 70
help clean and stimulate sluggish kid
news. also to neutralize acids in the
system, so they no longer irritate, thus
often relieving bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive, can not IN
lure and makes a delightful, etferves-
cent 1ithia-water drink. Drink lots OF
soft water. By all means have your
physician examine your kidneys at least
twice year.

WORLD MAY EXPECT
DRY WEATHER IN 1925
WILL BE DRYER THROUGH
OUT WORLD THAN IN CEN
TURY, SAYS SCIENTIST.

LONDON.-The year 1925 will be
the driest the universe has experience
ed this century, an official Of the Brit
ish meteorological department told
the Associated Press in explaining a
new discovery which departmental ex-
perts have made and which, it is de-
clared enables them to pick out the
wet and dry years to come,
St. Swithin will have II months OF
large scale unemployment after
Christmas, the department has en-
phatically predicted, and the drought
to come will not only dry up those
soggy islands but extend to the rest
OF the world.
This statement was made after
much study on the part OF weather
scientists and as the result OF the dis
covery that a close connection exists
between rainfall particularly in Great
Britain, and the frequency OF solar
prominences. The latter are explained
to be the tongues OF flaming gas that
dart out from the suns surface, some
times to height OF 100000 miles and
at a speed Of more than $50 miles an
hour.
Experts have spent three years
studying the relation OF this phenom-
enon with the fall OF rain and have
learned that the interval between the
dates when these giant fireworks are
most active has grown progressively
shorter during the last half century
while the periodicity OF wet years in
England has shown corresponding
change. The mathematical curves in
dicate a relationship that is too deh-
mite to be overlooked, say the depart
ment chiefs.
This relatively is nothing new. 1T
was noticed about 1865, and for the
next rs years every fifth year in Eng
land was wet, the other four being
dry or normal All this time the solar
Prominences were appearing regularly
and normally. At the end of the Is
years the flames appeared oftener and
continued to appear at regular periods
for 20 years, when every third year
was wet From 1910 to 1921 the flames
were more active and alternate years
were wet and dry.
The droughty year of 1921 appears
to have been the turning point, for
now the department experts have fig
ured out that for the next period OF
solar activity the years will
be in cycles OF three, two wet years
and one dry one. The year 1922 is
reckoned as the last year on the late
period, therefore the years 1923 and
1924 have been the wet ones and
1925, if any faith can be placed in the
of the solar prominences of
the sun, should be dry one in Eng
land and droughty one for the rest
IF the world.

STATE LEASES GRAVEL
DEPOSITS ON CURRENT

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, July 2S.-The
State of Arkansas has promised lease
on deposit of gravel in Current river,
extending from the Arkansas Missouri
state line about 20 miles south to Big
gers, Ark, and the federal government
will grant to C. Il. Mccormack, high
way engineer. who has been working
on the Highway 50 survey near, and
to W. II. Meredith, local attorney, a
permit to operate under the lease. A
corporation for dredging out the gravel
from the river will be shortly organ
lied
Engineers conservatively estimate
that there are from one to three mil
lion yards of gravel in the deposit
while there is possibility that there
is as much as five million. Under the
lease full rights to take the gravel out
is granted with the corporation to
pay to the State of Arkansas two and
half cents severence tax on every
yard removed.
The enterprise is certain to mate
rialize, Meredith said today, the de-
posit shows an unlimited supply and
the task of removing the gravel will
be comparatively easy. Transportation
will be simple as the gravel will be
conveyed only a few miles TO Biggers
ON barges where a clam shell unloader
will transfer it to the Frisco railroad
which runs but few yards from the
river bank there.
Operations will be started as soon
as Incorporation can be effected and
equipment assembled at the point Of
operation. Meredith says.
