A SOUR STOMACE GAN TURN A SWEET TEMPER Billy Sunday once said that many a man’s religion was nothing but a good stomach, and that all it would take to turn his saintly temper was a sour stomach. Those who make a religion of keeping well are usually able to express a great deal of religion in their every day living. Chiropractic offers a simple common sense method of ridding the body of weakness. It removes the cause of disease, which is uneven supply of nervous energy to all parts of the body, by removing nerve pressure and thus restoring the even flow of energy into weakened or diseased parts.

luppurM. lh« Frau* A hluLn*y CuK.^auy By ANNA ALICE CHAPIN It was a breathless, ominous night on the Pacific Coast. Tire place was a lonely little wireless station at Fl&llona Key. That Isn’t Its real name, by Hit bye, but It Is aometblug like it. Ten miles dow n the shore w as Ballons proper. Baliona means marsh, and Is descrlptlTe. since this little cluster of house* was huddled on tbt edge of a s«U swamp The swamp was most depressing as a constant outlook Eight rnllee Inland were low hills and lb« town of Gaota Mlruela. and ten miles cp the coast and some twelve out to sea war one of the government li.lands They had a girl operator there, and she sometimes called Hal kma up to say that It was awfully lonely. Adam Carleton sod his grandson Regis were spending the evening to ecUker as they sptmt all the evenings. Adam w as eighty (We and bed-ridden but be was six feet two. and splendid looking He was one of the forgotten race of physical heroes He had been a telegraph operator In hla youth among other things Adventure wiui In his bhrod and It war a daring noast reecue and consequent accident winch bad crippled him hopelessly a score of years ago Now he lay through the days and nights and years watching with genre eyes the generation which was carrying oo the arms be had been forced to lay down At elghty-fitse his blood still ran tuo strong for resignation; but he tuid to live his life on a divan, with a pillow under his uiagulfic«ot, white bead, and a Navajo blanket spread by hie dutiful grandson over his crushed legs. Regie Carleton w>as twenty six, palbd and email-boned. Though he hud never been ill, any out of door man would have put him down as a weakling. HI* grandfather bad given Mm an edaration and a thorough tralDlnx In telegraphy He bad a scientific trend of mind, and when wireless cairie In he uualifled as a brilliant expert operator under the new regime Old Adam could not. get used to the present day. In which It is so often the young and imlried man who. by virtue of his absolute technical training bears the most complex and evading burdens of modern eivlllcatlnii. The old man found it astonishing that lieaduuarters should have given the boy so much responsibility. When Regie got the new post, bis gi-ndtather came along as a matter of course. He loved the boy In a savage. Jealous fashion of bis own. snd neither bad any clower tie*. The old mao felt with a singular Intensity the pangs of affection, and the anxiety which such affections bringf His devoted but critical soul asked Itself often whether the lad wa* of the stuff needed to make what Adam called a man. “It’s the new order,” he said, reaching for hi* black and ancient pipe. "1 belong to the old.” The wdreless operator shrugged his shoulders. He was used to his grandfather. ’ You know a lot,” went on Adam, p ifliug at his pipe. "You’re trained to operate new iBacliine*, and you're darned near as perfect and a* new as the machines themselves. In tny day, It was all new, d’ye see?

Yea, it's a tidal wave all right. And that explains the Navonla chap and the falling glass. Who'a sending? Aeh for panicu

The Morse came now plainly enough, but hurried. There wa* a tidal wave. It was coming In at the rate of twelve miles an hour. It was about six miles off Governor's island. Rallon.v was to communicate Inland linmcd. ately and warn other small roast setDement* by ordinary telegraph. “A bit shaky still," nmiiered Adam. Ilia eyes were perceptibly brignter, and there was a new ring in hi* old voioc. "But the chap has hi* nerva back aow " "It—It's a woman." said Regie, L-iiHcnlng his collar. He looked a* he felt, horribly nauaeated; clearly be was dazed, and did not In fbe least know what to do. "A woman'" repeated Adam sharp ly. "She must be in danger, isn't i

she?”

“She s«ys“ Regis moistened his Itps "she says she's going to slay at her key. She Bays ahe'a terribly afraid, and the others have gone up a sort of bill on the Island where they’re sate. But she’s going to stay.” "Fine! Fine!" shouted bis grandfather, exultantly. He alwaya gloated | over personal courage, partlwularly , when It was shown by a woman Regie stared at him viigviely The I tr.rirunoe®t was quid for the moment.

Regie spoke he* t Uy and faintly, sa though his mind snd body were not yet fully under nentrol. "Wiiy.

"For roe*" said Adam Carleton furiously. "Never mind shout me! tviiai are you going to do about the tidal wave?" Regie looked at him a moment, and j the faint shamed red flashed into his pallid face and fled a* quickly. 'T'ra going to clear out!” he answered sullenly. ''Oh, God!” mid the old man gripped the sides of his rouch. the great veins and niuwles standing ont in hi* neck and wrists, bared to the heat.

Lincoln. Neb An'lion staple, anpro.ximauly an inch and a quartet lonR and a half ln<h a< ros., which .•?. C. Hawthorne of this city .-wallowr-.i over two years ago, was recently i• moved from his left lung. Again able lo walk rapidly, to run. to breathe deeply, to sleep in different positions and to laugh Mr Hawthorne is bavindifficulty in obeying a doctor’s order t » "act like a man ninety years old for

two months.”

During the rwo years which have elapsed since he • wallowed the staple while fastening a wile support f or vines growing over ihe porch of hr- j home, Mr Hawthorne lias appealed i» I twenty doctors for relief from couch itiR spells which at times Threatened ! Ms life For a time prior lo the opt la- i Don whirh ha* 1 restored his health, Mr. Hawthorne lost a pound or nioie in weight each lay. His rondition was serious when the cause of l!ie illness was correctly diagnosed and an X-ray photograph revealed the location of j Ihe staple, which most of Hie doctins consulted had believed could not be in the lungs. • Before sw.-llowing the staple Mi Hawthorne hr-d never been sick, except for an attack of typhoid when he was It years old. At the time of the diagnosis which led lo the operation for the removal of the staple Mr. Hawthorne's weight had fallen from 200 pounds to 176 pounds in about a

month.

When the X-tav examination was made, the staple was found in the lulus of the left lung, with an alu-es* formation and infected area in the hllus of the right lung. Mr. Hawthorne, seen at his home in Lincoln, said; "I am feeling well now j practically for the first time in two | 'ears. I remember clearly the day I j swallowed the > taplr. I was. standin:.; | on the porch railing, reaching up to fasten the wire support for the vlnei.

I felt no pain after the first few moments, as I sup posed the staple had gone into Ihe stomach and through the gastrointestinal tract. However, my trouble soon

Washington — Offiiials of the ,. c pavlment ot agriculture are greailv o tereated in reports receiied from li„ wail, to the effect that one or me |, 1( sugar companies has adopted a.-, a i,-. ular field practice the system of i| r stroving weeds by use of an arsemc poison spray instead of by hoeing. Experts who have conducted experl wents on Hawaii sugar lands exiunate that by the spraying method a saving tan tie made in labor of $15 io J ’.Q acre per annum. The latest development along tb* line in Hawaii are discussed in a Jei ter received from Prof. H. P. Agee, it: rector of the experiment station star of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters* as-, elation. Before going to Hawaii, p; * Agee co-operated with the departmen in experiments on Louisiana su? >• land. The value of this method in Hawaii Is very great, because of the fart tha like most tropica! regions, the Islai . are subject to torrential rains, 'n.leis Ihe surface of sugar and other lands are dlsturbd by cultivation t‘» less ebance there Is that heavv rainwill wash off ihe top soil or inirar 1 ately heat It Into compact form. A few years ago (lie department o' agriculture Issued a bulletin dealt: with Ihe weed factor in the cullivatnn of corn, following a series of exp> hienis extending over several ye.irr, which apparently established the pm riple that It Is the removal of tte weeds rather than the eiilllvalic i proper that contributes most to tb production of tbe corn crop. A series of 125 exjieriments we:* conducted covering many state-, nsome plots ihe most approved nu-thc-. of cultivation were employed, w hile ■. other pints there was no cultivation vvhalever. the weeds being eliminate,; by surface scraping with a hoe A general average of all these eperiments showed that the plots tl were simply weeded produced 95 1 p» cent as much fodder and 90.108 pt* r cent as much grain as those that we-* subjected to the most approved metI. od« of cultivation. The arsenic spray method will he given a trial on corn land in Loui.-i - v (his year by experts of tbe office o' Farm Management in co-operatim with local authorities, with a view > determining whether It ts not avail,' ble for use In that region, where c h-n-atic conditions to some evica’ rr pronch thou- in Hawaii. At present it is not believed that tin* arsenic spray can be general!' cm ployed throughout the United Stales on corn and other Ittnd- liecau-e of Itgreat difference in climatic and -■ I condit ions.
