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
1t may mean that you have been eat
Ing foods which create acids, says a
well-known authority. 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 kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels, remov-
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the wealth
er 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 ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in 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.

Fertilizer Benefits in
Many WAYS With Wheat

Because it is the most important
and most apparent, farmers some
times forget that increased yield Is
only one of the many beneficial re-
suits Of supplying adequate fertility
for the wheat crop. Better yields alone
justify the expenditure for fertilizer
but the observing wheat producer will
find that along with more bushels per
acre he will have grain Of higher quail
ity, earlier and more even ripening
and decided Improvement in the
clover or other seeding made with
the wheat.
The Ohio experiment station reports
a test in which wheat grown without
fertilizer had only 81 per cent plump
kernels, while the fertilized wheat had
"a per cent plump kernels. At the
Delaware station the fortified wheat
has weighed six pounds more per
bushel than unfertilized wheat, as an
average for ten years. With quality
of wheat so important in determining
Its market price, farmers cannot at
ford to overlook the possibility of add
Ing extra value to each bushel as
well as extra bushels to each acre by
adequate soil treatment.
The campaign for more and better
clover and other legumes is given
decided boost by fertilizing at
wheat-sowing time. seedlings to be
made next spring in the wheat. By
this means two crops-wheat and
clover-are benefited by one applica-
ton. This residual" effect of fertil-
izer is an important one economical
ly and most experiments have shown
that it is greater on clover or other
seedlings made with the wheat than
upon the succeeding grain or corn
crop.

Injgre Hams by
Careless Work
Serious Damage Observed
by Inspectors Traced to
Botchy Operation.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculturel
Serious damage to hams, las OBJ
served in federal meat inspection and
also as reported by the trade to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, has been traced to the careless,
insanitary castration of pigs. The
damage frequently does not attract at
tention until the hams are about to be
trimmed for curing. The principal In
juries are those caused by assesses
or the scar tissues that develop in
neglected cases, resulting in the con-
demnation, at federally inspected pack
Ing houses, of infected hams. Some
times the damage is so extensive that
only small portion of the meat may
be utilized.
Precautions Neglected.
On account of the simplicity of
castrating pigs, farmers or their hired
help frequently do not realize the inn
portance Of proper precautions and
care. AS consequence, Inflammation
or the formation of scrotal assesses
occur.
Among the principal causes Of the
trouble are the use Of dirty knives.
failure to clean the area of operation,
and turning the pigs into fnsanitary
pens or feed lots Immediately after the
operation. Under such conditions
many of the wounds are liable to be-
come infected, finally resulting in dam
age to the hams.
Damage May Be Avoided.
While it is not practical under farm
conditions to go to extremes in sani-
tation, much of the damage may be
avoided by the following reasonable
precautions advised by the United
States Department Of Agriculture ::
The area Of operation should first be
thoroughly cleaned by washing with
soap and water. The operator should
wash his hands in disinfectant, and
the knife should be sterilized with
boiling water or disinfectant before
it is used. Immediately following the
operation the wounds should be
smeared with pine tar as a protection
against dirt and flies. The tar should
be heated to the boiling point and al
lowed to cool before it is used. Then
the pigs should be turned into a clean
pasture,lot, free from mud wallows or
confined to pens that have been es-
pecially prepared by cleaning and
scrubbing with disinfectant. Clean
straw bedding should be provided
daily for at least FIVE days following
the operation, and this should be
sprayed with disinfectant before it
is used. A per, cent solution Of
liquor cresolis compositus is suitable
disinfectant for scrubbing the pens
and spraying the straw.
If these simple precautions are fol-
lowed, much of the present loss from
death Of pigs following castration, as
wen as the loss from damaged hams
may be avoided. Farmers Bulletin
No. 1857, "Castration of Pigs" con-
tains information on this subject Of
value to farmers.

entirely original conception but must
conform strictly to basic elements.
To harmonic the ornamental
features with the structural lines
the decorator of st. Marks has in
troduced in the bands that enclose
the ceilings of clerestory and aisles.
The undulating curve radiating from
the parent stem which was dis
tinctive feature of early English
ornament coupled with the rectang-
ular Tudor-Rose form which dis
tinguished the perpendicular. These
ornamental motives are a combin
alton of that intense richness and
quiet dignity so difficult to attain in
both pictorial and ornamental de-
sign.
The walls are left entirely plain
in a warm inviting quiet gray tone
while the arches are simply outlined
with a narrow border of early Eng
lish dogtooth pattern with slight
touches of color accent.
The color values of the entire
nave are balanced so closely that
perfect unity Is attained and no
feature allowed to become dominant
ranged to draw the eye toward the
Altar which is vital feature in the
Episcopal Church. The same note
of cerulean blue found in the
clerestory ceiling appears in the
ceiling panels of the chancel but the
ornament which is of the same rich
character is symbolic of the Holy
Eucharist while that of the former
symbolizes the Trinity. At the
corners and in the center Of the cell
ing are radiations in which the
symbolic Cross and Crown appear
forming the monogram of Jesus
Hominem Salvador" The walls Of
the choir and sanctuary are covered
with the closely patterned diapre
which serves as foil to the altar
and window.
All of the wood finish in both
chancel and nave including choir
stalls and pew as we'll as trusses
and window mullions are finished in
the dark walnut tone of the rood
screen. The organ pipes will he
covered with plain leaf englazed to
represent weathered metal
Dignity and strict Ecclesiastical
significance have been the goal
which the decorator has constantly
had in view.

VARIED PROGRAM
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUSTA ROTARY

An unusual program was presented
Friday evening at the regular meeting
Of the Augusta Rotary Club when
George Yaples of Detroit, Mich, direc-
tor Of Camp Kineo, the pioneer boys
camp at Harrison, Maine, Ellsworth
Sliker of Pennsylvania, baritone
who Is regularly heard during the WIN
ter from radio station WEAF, and
Thomas Griselle of Mount Vernon, N.
Y, composer and pianist of note,
visited the club and entertained the
members.
Mr.. Yap1es spoke on the subject
What the Home Town Thinks Of Hen
ry." referring to Henry Ford, and in
his talk he pointed out that the great
interest which Mr.. Ford has shown in
the old-time dances has resulted in
his being more in society, and this,
the speaker declared. in his opinion is
a very good thing for the big auto
Ford as the most graceful man on the
floor that he had ever seen. In his
opening remarks he declared that in
the moving picture houses of Detroit
applause invariably follows the show
ing of a picture of Mr.. Ford. The
speaker told of many interesting and
unusual sidelightS on the methods
which Mr.. Ford uses in conducting his
business and gave his audience an in
sight into the character of Mr.. Ford
which they had never had before.
Mr. Sliller, the possessor of q very
beautiful baritone voice, sang three
selections which We're received with
hearty applause by the Rotarians. He
is indeed an unusually fine singer and
his numbers were happily chosen to
fit into the spirit of the assemblage.
They were "Mandalay," "Rowin' Down
to Rio and Friend O Mine" Mr..
Griselle added much to the pleasure of
the several songs by his fine accom-
paniment.

improvements Made
At st. Marks Church

The committee of the Vestry.
namely DIR. Purves, Mr. J. c. Arnold
and Mr.. Charles Chase in charge of
the decorations in ST. Marks Church
are more than satisfied with the
work which is now nearing compile
ton. The contract was awarded to
Mr.. Harry Cochrane of Monmouth
who has conscientiously and eff
ficiently carried out the plans Of the
committee. A donation made about
a year ago was used as the nest
egg for the fund which accumulated,
making the work possible. A former
member of the church, now living in
California made a large donation
and with the gifts given at home
from rich and poor made a fund
which made possible the decorations.
Like Ministers, Cathedrals in par
ish churches in England, st. Mark S
Church is a structure representing
different periods of Gothic archi-
lecture. The square abacus of the
capitals has a suggestion of con-
tinentaI influence and plainly dates
back to the semi-norman period
when the cushion capital gave way
to the bell form and the stiff-leaf
foliations terminating in heavy
volutes.
The principal arch forms are cas-
lily traced to the twelfth century
while the rood screen with its
beautiful traccIy and the turn
curves takes leap over the Tran
sitional and decorated periods and
lands firmly into the perpendicular
style of the Fifteenth Century.
To those unfamiliar to the laws of
design these manifold units of the
Gothic style would pass unnoted but
to one trained to produce historic as
we'll as color harmony they present a
problem of major Importance.
1t is a well known principle in art
that throughout a pictorial compost
ton or ornamental designing there
must be repeats or echoes of its
fundamental structure, both in color
and in line. 1t is also an esta blished
law although often violated by the
novice that each historic architect
ural form should be embellished
with its own peculiar form of orna-
ment. The ornament may be an
