Lumbago is not u separate dis

back - good old backache and in
many ways resembles that other
good old reliable-headache.
The man mentioned is So years
old, which is about the average
age for men for lumbago. Women
have it ut earlier ages, because a
good deal of it is reflex from the
pelvic organs. A gynaecologist
and an orthopedist once collabo-
rated OH a definition and evolved
this: "a woman is potential
mother with q backachc." They
were both bachelors, according to
tradition, and cynics, and both met
mysterious and violent ends.
Backache in Children

adults. And the child may not

Bright's Disease, that old buguboo
picture of the man with the cane

The kidney medicine" really
never touched the kidneys at all,
but had something like aspirin in
it to soothc muscles. A kidney
with stone, or infection can
cause the symptoms of lumbago,
but this is fairly rare.
Lumbago is named after the
lumbar muscles "a very thick
heavy, matted group of muscula-
ture. Here is where lumbago is
located in the vast majority of
cases. These muscles are nearly
constantly moving - not neccs-
sarily only when you are working,
but even when you are sitting still

Carriers, after they'd made special
reservations and all that sort of
thing. She snapped me up on every
thing said. She had the car driver
stop on the way to the Maison, to
make a phone call. Then she got up
from dinner twice to make other
phone calls"
Then what?" Argus asked.

with the waiter over the soup. II

Montana May Get
1000 Prisoners 60
Work FOR Farmers

HELENA-Gov. Sam c. Ford has
announced that he has been in
formed that Montana's labor-short-
ed farms and ranches will get 1000
wal prisoners from the war man
power commission during 1914.
Ford said he had received a let
ter from Sen. 3. K. Wheeler pro-
missing Montana would share in the
allotment of the thousands of war
prisoners now being held in the
United States. The letter was writ
ten to Wheeler by Marvin Jones,
national administrator for the war
food administration.
Jones said allotment of war pri-
soners had been transferred from
his department to that of the war
manpower commission and advised
that the governor contact Montana's
war manpower commissioner, o. C..
Lamport.
Ford said the state farm labor
committee would present its prob
lens to Lamport SOC in the hope
of obtaining sufficient labor for
next year.
with these var prisoners, in adj
dition to Mexican nationals and out
of-state farm laborers, our agricul-
tural labor problem should be solved
next year, despite the constant drain
of farmers to selective service" Ford
said.

duce single-cell seeds. Some such
seeds were grown. but it was never
found possible to transmit the char
acteristics of singleness to succeed
ing generations. and the expert
ments were finally abandoned.
Then came Professor Roy Banner
Of the Department of Agricultural
Engineering of the University OF
California with a novel idea. He
rugged up a device in which a grind
stone thrusts the seed against a
shearing bar, and under the pres
sur thus created the cluster splits
into single-unit seeds. These single
seeds a be planted at regular in
tervals in the row, and the thinning
can be done with a long handled
hoe. or with a variety OF mechanical
tools which require little or nc hand
labor.
The new seed-called sheared or
segmented seed-was used extern
sively for the first time in 1943. It
is estimated that the sheared seed
reduces the hand labor require
ments by at least ten hours an acre.
and still greater savings are prob
able when planting techniques are
perfected. Agricultural engineers
believe that the eventual saving in
labor. on a normal acreage OF beets,
may approach twenty million man
hours a year.
