DIsoWNs THE CHARLESTON"

That so primitive and meaningless thing as the jazz dance they are call
 ing the Charleston" should have gained such wide spread vogue is merely one phase of a mania for ex otics. It is difficult to comprehend how rude dance affected by DOT. tion of the negro population should become so widely popular. The dance has nothing to commend it and much to render it undesirable. It is usually done in a spirit which is not polite.
 From negro dancing resorts in this section to the stage in London is far cry, but that is what the Charleston" has achieved, for it has been incor- porated in revue which is extant in the British metropolis and has been taken up by the smart set in the May fair vicerage. However, it will hard ly achieve in the United Kingdom the AoAAoW Ai6 It III Iuio SOuuLIy. The Englishman is not given to playing up those things which are reminiscent of the primitive. However, it is amaz- ing that so rude feature should have gathered momentum enough to leap across the Atlantic
 Charleston cannot help it being call ed the Charleston" but Charleston is not pleased with the quality of pub- licity it accelerates. Charleston would be very we'll satisfied if the. dubious compliment of naming it after some other town had been paid Most of it's votaries know little of this section and care less; they are interested in the thing solely as one of the latest crazes. This mania for jazz has brot many silly features, but it is doubtful if any of them is more foolish than this uncouth semblance of a dance.

MUSCLE SHOALS POWER

Although the prospects for final dis position of Muscle Shoals by Congress in the near future are not particularly bright, it is of interest to the public to know that the power now being gen. erated there is being devoted to a use full purpose.
 Through a temporary arrangement between the government and the Ala bama Power Company, the power from eration has been sent into Georgia and the Carolinas to relieve the shortage in those state caused by the recent severe drouth.
 Requests have been made to the War department urging that other Muscle Shoals units be similarly util- ized when installed, so that this pow CT may be of some benefit to the South during the time which must elapse before Congress shall agree upon permanent policy for the pro- ject
 While joint resolution providing for committee of Congress to invite bids has passed the House, there may be considerable opposition in the Sen- ate where Senator Norris has intro duced bill providing for government operation.

HEAP BIG TIME AT MOOSEHIDE
 CHRISTMASEVE
{ Dawson News )


 Starting Thursday night with a Christmas Eve celebration, the little Indian village of Moosehide has been a busy place during the last few days with potlatches and good times And the end is not yet at hand. All dur ing the week the celebration will con- tinue until New Years night when final Christmas tree and potlatch will bring the holiday festivities at Moose hide to an end for another year.
 Thursday night the Indians gathered together around a big tree in one of the houses, where presents and good eats were freely disbursed to all in attendance. Chief Isaac was the guest of honor, while Charlie Mason was the Christmas boss and looked after all arrangements. Chief Isaac states that everybody was happy and that the h. dian boys and girls and men and wo- men all had ''heap good" time Lots to eat. Mountain sheep, candy, nuts,
 
 fruit and plenty to smoke. There were songs and speeches. Jimus Francis was there as big as life and when call ed upon to contribute to the gaiety Jimus stood up and with his ever-pres- ent grin the young Peel River brave made great speech Chief Isaac also made big spiel to his tribe in | which he told his followers to have good time, but warned them not to drink any 'firewater.' The chief says that Christmas this year in the Yukon has been the best he has ever known for a long time. "Moosehide and Dawson both make celebration and have great fun. go to Pioneer dinner on Christmas afternoon" said the Chief; "have fine dinner, lots to smoke also tell Pioneers all about Christmas before white man come.

Prepare Bees Properly
for Cold Winter Season

The average bee-keeper is in the
business because he is interested in
the subject and because he wishes to
make a profit out of the business.
Profit comes not only from the sale
of honey, bees or queens, but sure
source of profit Is often overlooked in
the opportunity to produce honey more
economically, says the Bookkeeping
News. Production methods should be
studied and short cuts adopted. Every
pound of honey increased in the
colony production without increasing
the cost is that much profit made.
Save the bees this winter. Losses
In the entire eastern states last win
ter amounted to over 80 per cent.
Many of the remaining colonies were
too weak to produce surplus clover
honey This was a big factor In the
small white honey crop this summer.
Winter stores of honeydew and honey
from fall flowers contributed to the
heavy losses.
Salient points In the successful win
tering of bees are: vigorous queens,
a good-sized cluster of young bees,
plenty of stores of good quality and
lots Of winter protection. All old or
failing queens must be replaced be-
fore brood rearing ceases. The mat
ter of food and protection should be
given attention before hard freezing
comes The bees lose rapidly in vital
ity In freezing temperatures.

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
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 a glass
Of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys may then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help clean and stim-
ulate sluggish kidneys, also to neu-
tralize acids in the system, so they no
longer irritate, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
lure and makes a delightful, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink. Drink lots of
soft water.

Improved Roads Bring
Dollars to Minnesota

One way that good roads bring
money to Minnesota Is related in a
letter received by c.. M. Babcock, Min
nesota state highway commissioner,
from FL. E. Milliken of Omaha. Mr..
Milliken wrote for couple of Mime
sofa maps early in the season and
after his trip he wrote to Mr.. Bah
cock:
"These maps were of great service
to myself and family during the past
three weeks which we spent in most
enjoyable 2,500-mile tour about the
state of Minnesota.
81 haven't any doubt but what there
are some taxpayers in your state, just
the same as in this state, who COM
plain bitterly about the tax to build
the Minnesota roads, and If it might
comfort such at all, there Is about five
hundred and fifty dollars Of hard-to-
borrow Nebraska money In the state
of Minnesota now, which wasn't there
three weeks ago.
seriously, the roads are wonderful,
wen built and well parrolled, and we
expect to spend more time on them In
future summers"

|Injure Hams by
Careless Work

the pigs should be turned into 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 a disinfectant before 1t
is used. A 3 per cent solution of
liquid 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
well 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.
