Scientist Has Found
Stars by the Billion

Prof. Frederick FL. Sears of the
Mount Wilson observatory recently
completed counting the stars in the
heavens. This seemingly impossible
task he accomplished by mathematical
calculations, although he could not
see even with the most powerful tele-
scope 81 per cent of them. First he
divided the sky into squares. Then,
139 of these squares, he photographed
all the stars included in each space

the stars in the 139 squares showed
1,00Q000,000. These 139 squares,
however represented only the 1-2,5O0
part of the sky and included stars
only up to the twenty-first magnitude.
SO he worked out ratio between the
stars of each succeeding magnitude
and by an intricate calculation ar
rived at the final count of 30,OOO,OOO,-
100000.

Academic Prize Went
to SkiIlfuI Arguer

Heretofore "wranging' was only an
other word for disputing, and as in,
the Middle ages all scholarship was
decided by skill in argument in public,
so the senior disputer or "wrangler"
was the winner of any academic prize.
Long after this system of public ar
gument had been superseded by the
system of written examinations, the
name of wrangler had survived, and
up to only few years ago was given
at Cambridge to the senior mathema-
tician Of any one year, many of the
famous scholars of the world being
known as first, second and third
''wranglers."
Some seventeen years ago, however,
the order of senior, second, and so on,
''wrangler' was abolished, mathemati-
cal scholars being now alphabetically
arranged under groups.

Quart of Water

Troubling You

No man or woman can make a mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority.
Eating too much rich food creates
acids which excite the kidneys. They
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then we
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, be-
gin drinking quart of water each
day, also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in few days your
kidneys may 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 flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes
delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which everyone should take
now and then to help keep the kid
