URIC ACID IN MEAT CLOGS THE KIDNEYS Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. If you must have jrmr meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts, occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer gvith a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for* a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and- lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

RRILWAYS GOING BACK TO OWNERS TRANSFER WHICH TAKES PLACE ON MARCH 1 IS PRACTICALLY ACCOMPLISHED ALREADY. NEW LEGISLATION PREPARED Government Control Has Opened the Way for Co-Operation, Pooling and Other Things That Were Not Permitted in the Past. By JAMES P. HORNADAY. Washington.—On the stroke of 12 a. m„ March I,’ tile federal government will cease to operate the railroads of the country. Neither the traveling public nor that larger section of the public which does not travel regularly will be able to note that anything unusual has happened. In other words, the daily service of the transportation lines will go on as it did while the government was the supreme authority, and as it did before the government took the roads over for operating purposes. As a matter of fact the transfer of the roads back to their owners has already practically taken place. The change on March 1 will largely be otje of bookkeeping. During the last moath the railroad administration which was established here when the government as a war necessity began to operate the roads has been quietly returning various functions to the respective owners of the roads. By the morning of March 1 there will not be much visible evidence that the railroad administration existed except some vacant desks in the interstate commerce building. It is conceded on all sides that government operation of the roads opened the way for the doing of things that were not done under the old private management simply because -the government itself prohibited their doing It. The old idea was that there should be a minimum of co-operation and a maximum of competition. Thus it was that the government prohibited pooling and held up a warning hand every time the railroads showed any inclination of pulling together. Co-Operation in Vogue. The dominant note of federal operation was co-operation. Wherever- in the judgment of the railroad administration better service could be obtained through pooling of interests pooling took place. The result of this all was that for the first time in the history of American railroads common use was made of many terminals, and also of a great deal of trackage, city ticket offices were consolidated and rolling stock to a considerable extent made) exchangeable/ according to the of the day. That 'this same policy in a general way will be followed under private ownership Seems certain. From a financial standpoint government operation of the roads was not a success. On January 1 of this year the roads had been under government control for two full years. In this period' the loss was $594,200,000, divided $349,200,000 for 1919 and $245,000,000 for 1918. Through the railroad legislation, which, unless there is a slip, will be ready by March J. when the roads go back, the government will, maintain a closer supervision than ever before over the railroads. This legislation is by no means satisfactory to ail the interests involved, but it is regarded as> a fair*beginning. The general expectation in congress is that within another year the legislation will have to be revised to meet conditions as they develop following the return of the roads to their owners,. Sweet Law Enough for Present. No additional legislation relating tp benefits due the men who served in the world war is to be undertaken immediately. This decision has been reached by the leaders in congress after many conferences with the officials of the war risk bu-, reau. It is believed the hew ratings fixed by the Sweet law, now in effect, will stand through the coming fiscal year anyhow. The war risk bureau continues to interpret the legislation in the interest of the ex-service men hj/0/liberal way; every doubt is cast in favor of the man who was\ willing to give his life for the cause for which the war was fought. In line with the liberal policy adopted, a new ruling relating to war Insurance has just been made. Practically every one of the 4,000,000 service men took out insurance when they entered the service. Many thousands have let their policies lapse since the armistice. The new ruling is for the benefit of these men. Under it war risk (term) insurance, regardless of how long it may have been lapsed or canceled, and regardless of how long the former service man may have been discharged, may be reinstated any time before July 1, 1920. The conditions are: (1) Two monthly premiums on the amount of -insurance to be reinstated must accompany the application. (2) The applicant must be in as j good health as at the date of dis- [ charge, or at the expiration of the grace period, whichever is the later date, and so state in the application. Offer Is Very Liberal. The new ruling is a liberalization of war risk insurance since the passage of the Sweet bill, and is, designed for

ORIGIN OF THE “HORN BOOK.” The horn book, invented in 1450 and used considerably up to the close of the eighteenth century, was the usual text book of the elementary schools, A thin slab of hard wood was covered with parchment on which were printed the capital and small letters, numerals, and some elementary syllables and words. Over this a thin sheet of transparent cow’s horn was placed and firmly bound so that no moisture could penetrate.

the special benefit of service men who failed to reinstate their insurance prior to the new*law, and who have been discharged more than eighteen months. Ex-service men may. still reinstate their lapsed term insurance at any time within eighteen months following the month of discharge by complying with the same conditions. Within three months following the month of discharge, reinstatement may be made by simply remitting two months’ premiums without a formal application or statement as to health. r Reinstatement may also be' made after eighteen months following discharge, as follows: If the Insurance has not been lapsed longer than three months, by complying with the conditions outlined. From the fourth to the eleventh month, inclusive, after lapse, by complying with the sam£ conditions, and in addition submitting a formal report of examination made by a reputable physician substantiating the statement of health to the satisfaction of the director of the bureau. Beneficiaries Group Enlarged. In announcing the new ruling. Director Cholmeley-Jones emphasizes the fact that war risk (term) insurance or United States government (converted) life insurance may now be made payable to any of the following new and enlarged group of beneficiaries: Parent, grandparent, step-parent, wife (or husband) child. step-child, adopted child, grandchild, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, brother through adoption, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother-in-law, sister-in-law; persons who have stood in the relation of a parent to the insured for a period of one year or more prior to his enlistment or induction, or the child or children of such persons; parent, grandparent, step-parent, or parent through adoption of the insured’s wife (or husband). War risk (term) Insurant® may be converted into United States government life insurance, now or at any time within five years after the formal termination of the war by proclamation of the president. Coast Guard to Be Strengthened. The coast guard of. the United States is to be strengthened. In the future it will be treated as a part of the country's first line of defense. It has not received the credit it deserves for the part it took in the war. On April 6, 1917, the date of the declaration of , war against Germany by the .United States, the entire guard passed from the control of the secretary of the treasury to that of the secretary of the navy, and has continued to this date to operate as a part of the navy. Plans for the coordination of the guard and navy in the event of war had been worked out and were published to the service during the month preceding the war in a confidential order. By it each unit of the guard was assigned a definite line of action in the general mobilization, whereby all would immediately begin to operate under a naval command specifically named in the. order for each unit. Dispatches putting the order into effect were cleared on the day war was declared. Units affected included 22 cruising cutters, 14 harbor cutters and launches, and 280 coast stations, with a personnel of approximately 229 commissioned officers, 404 warrant officers and 3,500 enlisted men, increased during the war to a maximum of 438 warrant officers and 6,100 enlisted men, with no increase in the number of commissioned officers. All units affected by the mobilization order were assigned by it to naval districts, but six cruising cutters were within a few days taken from the districts, and assigned to the Atlantic patrol squad-, ron. Four of these, with two other cruising cutters, were sent abroad for duty in the war zone. One. Cutter Sunk by the Enemy. These six vessels left the United States individually between the dates of August 15 and September 20, 1917. One of them was sunk in the war zone by enemy action; the others returned to the United States between the dates January 3 and July 1, 1919. The cutters attached to naval districts acted as patrol vessels on the coiast, convoyed and towed along the coast or to offshore points various craft used in connection with the supply fleet, were detailed to hunt for enemy submarines reported on the coast, and were seht, when the necessity arose, to assist vessels in distress. The coast stations, with their surfman patrols, formed an armed force of observation and communication on the coast and Great Lakes. They were especially valuable in this respect along the Atlantic seaboard at the times of submarine attacks On our coast. They continued to perform work of rescue and assistance as occasion required. The peace-time batteries of the cruising cutters comprised from two to four 6-pounder guns; these were generally replaced or augmented by larger guns of the 3-Inch or 4-inch rapid-fire type to a maximum on a few of the Vessels of four 4-lnch, this being considered the heaviest battery any of the cutters could carry to advantage. Their armament further included the usual outfit of small arms, machine guns, and depth charges of the 50-pound or 300-pound sizes, varying with the nature of the duties to which they were assigned. To the outfit of small arms on the harbor cutters wa|s added in most cases a 1-pounder gun. Small arms were distributed to the coast stations and carried on patrol by the surfman.

THE PEANUT. The peanut is a member of the pea family and the “nut” is more accurately described as a pod. It is grown from seed in many tropical and subtropical lands, a long warm seasofe being necessary for its maturity. It flowers above ground, then the stem bends downwards, the young pod enters the soil and there matures. No roots are ever attached to the nut; the fibers, mistaken for them, are from, the stem.
