WOMAN III FIGHT FOR C1TIZEHSHIP .. . Involuntarily Be a British Subject, but Wants to Remain American.

SPOKANE, Wash., Au 16. Judge Frank II. Rudkin, sitting In the United Btates district court for eastern Washington in Spokane, will be called on to pass upon several legal problems of international Importance at the present session, when counsel for Mrs. Maude E. Black, wife of James If. Black, a stonemason, lining at 1716 East Marietta avenue, presents an application for a writ of mandamus to force the clerk to issue iiaturallzation papers for the woman. Mrs. Ulack has been declared an alien, though she was born and raised In the United States and has neve." set foot on foreign soil. Involuntarily becoming a British subject by marrying a native of Canada In the United Ctatcs, several years ago. The district clerk holds that she cannot be restored to citizenship until her husband swears allegiance to the United Btates. This, Mrs. Black declared with emphatic emphasis, she will not permit her husband to do. "I was born in the town of Weyautvega, Waupaca County, Wis., 38 years ago, and my forebearers fought In the Revolutionary and Civil wars," Mrs. Black said. "My people have been Americans for more thn 135 years and yet I am classed as an alien. I have never stepped outsirle of the United States, but the clerk of the federal court declares I cannot vote until my husband becomes an American citizen. I did not know I had married away my legal rights. "I was told at a recent city election that I could not vote though the state law of Washington gives the ballot to all women of legal age. To force the issue I was challenged at the polls and the clerk very promptly declined to hand me a ballot. I have now engaged counsel to receive my naturalization papers by mandamus proceedings, after which the merits of the case may be determined , by the courts. I am prepared to fight to the end for my rights." A LIGHT ATMOSPHERE. I Why Smoke "Beata Down'! Whan It Leaves a Chimney. "It's getting ready for a storm. See bow the smuUe beats down just as aoon as it comes out of the chimney? That's because the air Is so heavy It pushes the smoke down before it has time to rise." One often hears this stated as fact concerning that most generally talked of subject on earth, the weather. The speaker wus probably right under those conditions In prophesying a storm, but he was scarcely right in assigning as a reason that "the air is ao heavy It poshes the smoke down." . Nearly everybody knows it is easier to swim In salt water than in fresh water. As salt water Is heavier than fresh water It is evident that the heavier the liquid the greater the buoyant force. The atmosphere exerts a buoyant force upon the smoke from chimneys in exactly the same way that water exerts a buoyant force upon a swim mer. Therefore when the smoke "beats down" as soon as It leaves a chimney It must be concluded that the buoyant force exerted upon It is relatively mail and that' the air Is not heavy, but light. A light . atmosphere, ' or, rather, a audden lessening of the pressure of the atmosphere generally, takes place before a storm. Therefore the smoke from chimneys.

Nature' Tells You

As Many a Richmond Reader Knows Too Well. When the kidneys are sick, Nature tells you all about it The urine Is nature's calendar. Infrequent or too frequent action; Any urinary trouble tells of kidney Ills. Doan's Kidney Pills are for kidney ills. People in this vicinity testify to this. V. F. Stevenson, Church St., Cambridge City, Ind., says: "I gladly confirm all I said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, when I publicly recommended them in 1907. Backache caused me much suffering and I also had pains through my loins. I felt tired and worn out all the time and had bat little ambition. My kidneys were weak and the kidney secretions looked unnatural. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved all my aches and pains and acted as a tonic, in fact, brought greater benefit than any other medicine I had ever taken. I advise my friends and neighbors suffering from kidney complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pilla a trial." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Of Interest To Farmers " It Is the variation In the quality of cow's milk from less than 2 per cent of butter fat to 7 or more that makes it absolutely necessary to apply the Babcock test to all cows which are to have a place in the successful dairy. Quantity counts, of course, but this is but one half the story. The other half is whether it is good for anything after it is in the pail. It Is an interesting fact in connection with those countries that have attained the highest degree of agricultural development and achieved the greatest prosperity that invariably this condition has resulted from dairying and stock raising. It should also be added that it is under these same conditions that the fertility of the soli has been in largest measure preserved. The past few weeks have been an eye opener as to the drought 'resisting powers of tomato plants. Not only have they got along without rain for weeks at a time, but have Set lots of fruit without being watered iartlflcially. They hnve demonstrated beyond question their semitroplcal nature and the further fact that, above all, they require lots of hot weather. The difference in feeding value between corn and wheat is not so great as one would naturally suppose. Chemical analysis shows that in 100 pounds of the former grain there are 7.8 pounds of muscle forming elements and 776.4 pounds of heat and fat formers. In the latter there are 8.8 pounds of muscle formers and 70.9 pounds of fat formers. These figures show that corn has slightly the better of it as a ration to fit stock for-market, with wheat preferable as a ration for growing things. That race horses, like professional athletes, live the pace that kills was shown a few days ago at Grand Rapids, Mich., when the promising little mare Penisa Maid, a daughter of Pennant aud Seneca Maid, died after an illness of but a few hours. Penisa Maid had made an official record of 2:04t&, and.it was expected she would reach the two minute mark before the end of the season. The little mare was "discovered" at Sheldon, la., in 1908, sold at that time for S1.R0O, and about a year ago was bought by a Canadian horseman" for $25,000. Many of the ailments from which poultry, calves and swine suffer might be largely averted were greater pains taken to keep their quarters sweet and clean. Filth of one kind and another is the stuff in which germs breed, and without exception the serious diseases from which animals suffer are of germ origin. Fumigation, disinfection and whitewashing are all valuable aids In securing the desired results. Another condition tending to help greatly in preserving the health of, both poultry and animals Is keeping them dry. This should always be kept in mind. A Canadian cow, a Jersey, has recently closed a second year's test which entitles her to the title of best cow of any breed in the Dominion. Her name is Rosalinde of Old Basing, and she is owned by a breeder of Red Deer, Alberta. In her first year's test, which closed February. 25, 1910, she gave 10.870 pounds of 5.37 per cent milk, which yielded 729.6 pounds of 80 per cent butter. In the second year's test, which closed May 23, 1911, she gave 11,276 pounds of 5.3 per cent milk, from which S02 pounds of 80 per cent butter were made. Then cream and skimmilk sold in the two years brought $523.ft5. and two calTes were produced which could not be bought at $250 apiece. This cow paid? It would seem so. Of all Improvements that can be made in the farm home to lighten woman's work and make it convenient perhaps the most desirable is that which will give a handy and abundant supply of water and. coupled with this, drainage facilities which , will make it possible to dispose of waste water without the use of pails. It is a pretty poky farmer who spends valuable time pumping water for stock by hand aud lugging it in pafls, and it would seem that on any farm where more enlightened . methods are in rogue for watering the stock a like improvement should be made in the water system in use in the house. Such a convenient water system should not be viewed aa a luxury, but merely an Improvement which common con aideratloa and decency earning.

110 DECISION MADE OH HUME OF PARK Was Too Much for Stockholders, and Board of Directors Will Decide.

Although it had been announced that when the directors and stockholders of the new Lake and Park company met last night in the rooms of the Commercial club the controversy over the name of the new municipal playground would be definitely settled, there was so much diversity of opinioion the subject, that no agreement could be reached. Finally the matter was turned over to the board of directors, and everyone agreed to abide by whatever choice it made at the next meeting. The principal business of the meeting Tuesday evening was to decide on the articles of incorporation. The company was incorporated for $50,000, and the corporation is for 50 years. President H. R. Robinson asserted at the meeting that work on the park would be started immediately so that it would be ready for use as soon as possible. As soon as the city engineer has completed the task of laying off the lots, a landscape gardner will be employed so as to make the place as beautiful and as systematically planned as can be. The president believes that if things are started in this way, no trouble will be encountered If any changes in the park are desired in the future. He also said that he was greatly pleased with the way things were gofng, and especially with the plans of the directors and stockholders. Those at the meeting expressed the hope that the dam across the river would be finished before the winter sets in. As soon as the dam is completed and the lake made it will be supplied with fish by tne Wayne County Fish and Game Protective association. FORTUNE ISLAND. The Story of the Buried Prise of an English Buccaneer. An English buccaneer, having looted and fired a rich prize, found blmself pursued In tarn by a Spanish pirate, and in order to save bis treasure sought some Isolated shore on which to bury it until the time came to divide the spoils with his followers. So be rap into the Bahama group and. landing on a low lying strip of sand and palm trees, cached bis plunder and. naming the place Fortune Island, sailed away. He left a number of negro slaves behind to guard the buried treasure, and the present inhabitants are said to be descended from these slaves. The Fortune islanders believe tbe old sea rover never returned for bis chest and that it is still hidden somewhere near tbe tide leveL It is no uncommon sight for tourists on the rare occasions when a steamer stops there to see some half naked black man digging In tbe sand, probably in obedience to a dream or other sign. The natives tre half civilized, exceedingly superstitious and very poor and live mostly on fish and fruit. They do not attempt to plant vegetables, preferring to rely on the bounty of nature, as tbe fierce hurricanes that sweep the Bahamas soon uproot and destroy gardens. Tbe little colony is huddled together In a collection of squalid huts that are blown clear away In nearly every storm and have to be built anew. The island 'la nine miles long and a mile wide at tbe broadest part and lies 110 miles northeast of Cuba. New York Press. Surprises In Chinese. "Some people.' said an American consul to China, "live as long as twenty years in China and never learn more than a dozen Chinese expressions. But not so my little girl. She used to meet me each evening with some new Chinese expression which she had learned during the day. Now, the Chinese language, like tbe Japanese, is full of honortfics. and I fondly imagined one evening, when my little girl greeted me with some entirely new expressions, that she was saying something like this: 'Here comes tbe honorable personage, my father.' "To verify my guess I asked a little Chinese boy to translate. At first he was rather backward, but I urged him until be finally said: 'Your excellency, your daughter says, "Here comes that old wooden headed bottle. Yea, there are some surprises in Chinese." AWFUL PAINS FULLYDESGRIBED A Lady of Ptzarro Tells Story of Awful Suffering That Cards, finally Relieved. Rzarro, Va. "I suffered for several years,' writes Mrs. Dorma A. Smith, 'with that awful backache and the bearing down sensations, so fully described in your cook. "I tried doctors and other medicines and found little relief, until I was induced to trv Wine of Cardui. when I found in stant relief and today I can heartily recommend Cardui to all suffering women and thmk there is no other as good."

Some Gossip Gathered From The Gay A merican Metropolis

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. Now that the task of raising the $8,000,000 necessary to finance the Woolworth building, has been successfully completed, thanks to the enterprise of French capitalists, the work on the structure which, when completed, will be the highest office building in the world, is to be pushed with the utmost rapidity. The building will occupy the entire Broadway front on the west side between Barclay street and Park Place, covering an area of about 39,500 square feet. The building proper, will be twenty-nine stories high and will be surmounted by a tower of twenty-six stories. The total height of the structure is to be 750 feet and it is to be completed by the fall of 1912. Health Commissioner Lederle reports that the efforts of the health department and of the allied organizations striving to reduce infant mortality have succeeded this year in establishing the lowest July record since the consolidation of the boroughs. In July of this year, 1,522 Infants under one year of age died in Greater New York, which is a saving of 731 over 1910, when 2,225 died. Previous to this year, 1909 had 'the lowest record for July, which was 1,757. The low figures for the month just passed are particularly remarkable in view of the fact that the weather conditions during the month were extremely unfavorable. During the greater part of the month excessive heat prevailed and the humidity was tinusually great. The distribution of clean and pasteurized milk is believed to have been in a large measure responsible for the low rate of infant mortality during the past month. The tremendous increase in the value of real estate in the lower and of Manhattan has gradually brought about the disappearance of the comparatively small and therefore unprofitable buildings erected in that part of the city some fifty or more years ago. One by one these old landmarks were torn down to be replaced by modern skyscrapers, spacious enough to make them a profitable investment. One of the , last of these old buildings, that erected by the Mutual Life Insurance company in 1864 on the southeast corner of Broadway and Liberty streets, is now in the hands of the wreckers and will soon be replaced by a new building which the Guaranty Trust company is going to erect for its own use. The ground was purchased by the Trust company a short time ago for nearly $2,000,000 and in view of the high price of the ground it is rather surprising that the new building is to be only five stories high. The job of a policeman in New York City, contrary to the belief of many unthinking and unqualified critics, is by no means a sinecure. Constant changes in the heads of the police department with the resulting changes of policy keep the men in a constant state of uncertainty as to their duties, the manner in which they were expected to fulfill them, and their responsibilities. Somebody is always meddling and tinkering with the police department, and in every session of the New York legislature, one or more measures are introduced, pur porting to be intended, for the reform of the department, in reality, however, only adding to the confusion already existing. There are, undoubtedly, men on the police force who are a disgrace to that body but the majority of the men are efficient and honest. The everlasting criticisms of the police force by pub lic officials and the public press have had the unfortunate effect of underAt Fountains & Elsewhere Ask for 'MUCK'S" Thf Original and Genalna MALTED MILK Thi Food-drink for Ail Ages.

Never before have policemen found it so difficult to do their duty and almost daily one or more policemen are mobbed for no other reason than that the mobs invariably side with the offenders whom the officers try to arrest. Manuel Martinez, a wealthy and eccentric Spaniard died here the other day at the Broadway Central hotel. where he had lived the life of a hermit for more than thirty years. ; A hermit living in a hotel on Broadway? That may seem strange to many persons who in their minds have always associated hermits with caves or solitary hovels in the woods or mountains, yet it is a fact that Martinez lived in that Broadway hotel for more than thirty years, as much a hermit as ever grouched in a cae. He was at one time a banker, but retired from business "tnore than thirty years ago. For some reason he developed strong antipathy against what he called "a church-ridden" world and withdrew from it, secluding himself with his library of books on history and philosophy In a room on the upper floor of the Broadway Central hotel. He paid his bills promptly, but kept strictly to himself and spoke to no one, not even to the employes of the hotel. Sometimes he did not leave his room for many months. There are some queer sprigs among the members of the burglar union. One of them broke into an apartment up-town the other night. When the occupant of the apartment found the following morning that his flat had been broken into, he hurriedly made an inventory of his belongings. Nothing was missing, but on his bureau he found a new silk tie, which the burglar had left there with a note pinned to It, bearing the legend, "With my compliments." . It was not the chilliness of the air and water which kept the crowds out of the water at Long Beach last week. Two sharks, each about six feet long, had made their way from the ocean through Reynolds Channel during the early part of the week and remained in the vicinity of the beach, near enough to scare the bathers and inducing them to hug the shore closely. Not only the bathers were scarce in that locality, however, but the fish too. They seemed to realize their danger and sought safety in flgiht. The sharks were quite active, racing with one another and frequently jumping out of the water, furnishing a rather interesting and unusual spectacle to the visitors who watched jthe frolics of the sharks from the safe vantage points on- the beach and on the piers. Sharks have been quite scarce in that locality during recent years. Love and fa Canal boat. Why is love like a canalboat? Because It is an internal transport. London Daily Mail.
