Joints and the associated symptoms
Gout is controlled largely by the
use of a severe diet with lessened
amounts of proteins and rich foods.
This diet must be followed over a
long period of time and remedies
can be given to control the pain.
Vegetables. such as potatoes,
string beans, onions, lettuce, car
rots and cabbage, are excellent
items for the equity diet.
On the other hand, spinach, as
paragus, caulif1oWer, mushrooms
and lentils are not especially recon-
mended.
The chief protein products to be
used are milk. eggs and fish. It
is not advisable for any one with

This is a strange and extraordi-

The wolf of a week never has come
across that same danger signal in all
his life. And yet he knows.
He could nani2 his unseen foe

trail memories rise like little brooks
in spring. In an instant he is one
with his forebears. The reproach
and the weaknesses of civilization
drop from his shoulders.
No puppy biscuit mollycoddle is

stellar organization which contains
about 40,0OO,0QpO0O stars.
This great collection of stars is
known usually as the galaxy. 1t
sometimes is referred to as ''our uni
verse" or 1.-The universe of stars"
but these names are falling into dis
use, since they lead to confusion
when they occur in connection with
discussion of the great universe of
space
Scattered in space at enormous
distances from our galaxy are the
spiral nebulae, which are known TO
be galaXieS like our own, though
smaller.
DR.. Hubble of Mt. Wilson esti-
mates that two million such spirals
are to be seen with the 100-inch
telescope at Mt. Wilson.
According to the Einstein theory,
space is curved and hence limited.
DR.. Hubble estimates that the uni
verse of space is about a billion
times the amount of space within
range of the Mt. Wilson telescope.
Professor Jeans takes the figure of
one billion as representing the av-
erage number Of stars in each spiral.
He then muitiplies this figure by
two million, the number of spiralS
visible in the big telescopes. This
gives him the number of stars in

Curved

TINE average reader will find con-
j. siderable difficulty in accepting
the Einstein idea of curved space
and a closed universe. The obvious
question is: If space has an end.
what is on the other side?
Speaking of space, Jeans writes,
"It has no limit, but is nevertheless
finite, like the surface of the earth.
THE total volume of space is
fixed by a quantity, the curvature
of space.
Space which contained no matter
would go on forever, but the parts
of space we can survey with our
telescopes contain enough matter to
show that We already see an ap-
probable fraction of the whole Of
space.
Exact figures are impossible, but
DIR. Hubble has calculated that
space is not likely to extend more
than about thousand times as far
as the farthest nebula visible in the
biggest telescope.
NOCnlng prevents our going on
and on in space beyond this dis
lance, but, if we do, we merely come
back to ourselves. The possessor of
sufficiently sensitive wireless ap-
paratus may emit signals and pick
them up a seventh of a second later
after they have travelled around the
world.
"In the same way a not incon-
ceivable Increase in the size of our
telescopes would take us around the
whole Of space, and we should see
the stars surrounding our sun by
light which had travelled around the
universe, not Of course as they now
are, but as they we're 100000 million
years ago."

The former was in position for
his gospel to be made law, with a

The Lady

TINE little old lady with the liver
l. does not ask them to take the
meat from her hand. That would
be contrary to the principles of these
animals, who think that they have
answered the call of the wild.
Her part merely Is to leave the
provender and stroll away. The fact
that she finds the platter clean a
little later is all the reward that she
requires.
And so the wild and independent
dog is not pauperized. He comes to
think of the liver ration as some
thing earned by his own initiative.
To him the meat seems some part
Of the wild life of the park. He
stalks his prey and creeps up on it,
meeting the gossipy dead leaves
with all the velvet of his paws. Inch
by inch he comes closer to his quar-
ry In the platter.
One false step and the liver either
Will run Or fight. There Is no sound.
Within week the wild dog of the
park has learned to tread softly.
Al last there is lunge and leap.
Big jaws click, and with a crunch
the hunting dog beats down tthe
last resistance of the broiled meat.

You have that upon the authority
of Professor j. H. Jeans, secretary
of the Royal Society Of London and
research associate of the Mt. Wilson
observatory of California. Professor
Jeans is one of the most brilliant
astronomers living, sets forth his
views Of the universe in Eos; or,
the Wider Aspects of Cosmogony,"
just published by E. p. Dutton g.
Co.
The book is a small one of only
eighty eight pages, forming one of
the thought-provoking series of
little books which Dutton is pub
fishing under the general title of
the To-day and Tomorrow" series.
Into its lightweight pages Jeans
has packed many of the most pro-
found views held today concerning
coSmogony. Cosmogony is the
branch of astronomy which treats
of the origin and present condition
of the cosmos or universe as a
whole. Eos was the Greek goddess
of the dawn and hence her name is
an appropriate one for the book.
Jeans combines the findings of
the great 100-inch telescope at Mt.
Wilson, the worlds largest telescope,
with the Einstein theory to arrive at
his estimate of the number of stars
in existence.

Is Keane Thinkable?

Whatever decision the thousands of men
and women who gave allegiance and support
to the city manager movement may make
as to other candidates, it is difficult to
imagine even one who will accept without
protest the candidacy of Keane on the Re-
publican ticket for council.
When Boss Coffin gave his slate to his
henchmen and ordered them to translate
his edicts into a formal ticket, it was no
accident that he included the name Of Keane
as a candidate.
Nor can any one be so guieless as to sup
pose that Coffin was merely paying his
tribute of gratitude and obligation to the
man whose name was used to file the suit
under which the supreme court dealt death
blow to the city manager law.
Political bosses are not noted for their
gratitude. They are cold blooded and calcu-
lating in their political manipulations. With
them "every little movement has meaning
all its own"
1t is fairly reasonable to believe that Cof-
fin had two reasons for placing on the ticket
the man who had just shown his defiance to
the wishes Of the vast majority of citizens.
The first reason, unquestionably was to
give sign to any of his followers who may
have doubts as to the power of Coffin after
election that he was able to force upon the
ticket the name of man who had shown a
mental attitude toward public affairs that
was out of line with the desires and wishes
Of the great majority.
If any Coffin follower believed that the
boss was slipping, the nomination of Keane
would be reassuring.
The second reason, it may be reasonably
presumed, was to prevent any future efforts
to put the city manager law into effect.
Coffin, if he succeeds in eecting his ticket,
can point to Keane as evidence that the peo-
pie are not seriously interested in the move
ment. He could argue that they had elected
the man in whose name the city manager law
had been killed and that the people there
fore approved that decision of the supreme
court.
Certainly Candidate Glossbrenner, who
has many friends among those who sup
ported the city manager movement, can
not wish to carry into Office with man
whose election might mean so great blow
to civic progress and public sentiment.
Surely he can not wish to become any party
to a scheme of Coffin to produce the appear
ance of approval for killing the greatest
movement for civic betterment that the city
has ever had.
The prospects of Coffin, who has gained
the hostility of good citizens by his political
rule, his reliance upon the statute of limi-
tations, his il-starred Duvall regime, hav-
ing any power after election is tragic.
But when he puts forward the man who
stood between the people and self govern
ment and seeks to honor this man for his op-
position to the welfare of the people, it be-
comes unthinkable.
Candidate Glossbrenner should at an
early opportunity, repudiate this effort to
use his fine reputation as a mask for such
sinister defiance Of the opinion of decent
citizens.
If the city manager movement is to final
" win, it should ask Mr.. Glossbrenner to
help now to prevent the insult after the in
jury.

TAXES EQUALIZED
BY TOWN BOARDS
Assessors Lists Revised and Go
to County Board of Equaliza-
ton for Action

Assessors of Redwood county turn
ed in their reports to County Auditor
L. F. Larson last week, the town and
village boards meeting as board of
review throughout the county Mon
day, revised the assessors lists and
got them in readiness for the County
Board of Equalization, consisting of
members of the County Board of
Commissioners and Auditor Larson.
Inasmuch as many taxpayers seem
to be in doubt as to the real purpose
of the review and equalization boards,
the Gazette publishes the following
for their enlightenment:
1t is the duty of the town board to
revise any individual assessment
which is not in keeping with others or
to add names which the assessors
failed to report. Tax payers having
any grievance or who desire to have
their individual assessments changed
should have this done by the town
board of review.
The county board of equalization
has no power to change individual as
sessments, but must act on the as
sessment from the township as a
whole. The county boards duty is to
equalize the different township as
sessments so all are in keeping with
one another and so items of each class
are assessed equally throughout the
county. The report of the board pub
lished in the county papers following
this equalization board sessions con-
tains the changes made in the local
assessors work.
After the county board has passed
on the assessments, report is sent
to the state tax commission. This
commission then acts on the county
report in the same manner that the
county board acts on the township re-
ports. The state does not change any
individual township items, but acts on
the county as whole and sees to it
that each county is in line with its
neighbors.
Very often the work Of the town
ship boards is deficient, but when the
| sheets reach the county board no indi-
vidual assessments, can be changed.
All the county board can do is to
file application for AN abatement,
which too must be passed upon by the
state tax commission.
The County Board of Equalization
meets on July 18th, says Auditor
L. P. Larson.
