I TftLR WITH ft CAPE VINCENT 1ft MR. HENRY PEO, OF JAMES STREET TELLS HIS EX- PERIENCE. There is nothing like a talk with one of our own citizens for giving hope and encouragement to the anx- ious sufferers from the dread kidney disease. We, therefore, give here an interview with a Cape Vincent man: \A cold settled in my kidneys and disordered them,\ says Mr. Peo. \Sharp pains annoyed me a great deal and when I stooped knife4ike pains darted across my back making it hard for me to do my work. It was neces- sary to pass the kidney secretions often during the night. I was a tired ivorn out man when I learned of Doan's Pills. After using three boxes my kidneys were restored to normal action and the backache was relieved.\ Price 60c, at all dealers.

The first time I ever realized that salt was not just salt,-no matter where It came from, was one hot morning when we had to wait for hours while a Canadian fisherman who was to take us across the bay removed the roe from a large sturgeon that he had caught and prepared it for shipment across the lake to one of our flourish- ing cities, where It was to be convert- ed into Russian caviar. His part of the process involved the use of a great quantity of salt. He told us he used only' German salt, which he declared was four times as salty as our salt. Recently our interest in salt has been quickened by the statements that the alarming increase In goiter is due to a deficiency in the salt we use. For a long time scientists were puzzledrby the fact that goiter showed a tendency to be so common in certain sections of the world that they were known as goiter belts or goiter zones. Switzer- land has long been known as a goiter zone. Recently it has appeared that we have a well-developed goiter zone In the region of the Great Lakes, one author claiming that a fifth of the. school children In that area have en- larged thyroid glands, or physiological goiter. • Goiter is rarely found among people living near the ocean. The rea- son became more or less evident when research workers discovered a few years ago that children suffering from goiter could be much benefited by minute doses of iodine. Iodine is an element that Is most abundant In the ocean—the Iodine of commerce is derived from sea weeds. Sea foods, and salt secured by evapo- rating sea water* contain all the Iodine needed to keep the hody In good condi- tion. It is claimed, however, that much of the salt sold nowadays is de-. ficient in iodine, perhaps due to the re- fining processes that have given us whiter, finer salt than our parents knew. \ One of the Ironies of our everyday life Is that the more we refine our foods, the more we find It necessary to eat something to take the place of what we have refined out of the orig- inal ' food. The highly refined salt must have Iodine added. Those who live on bread baked from highly re- fined flour must eat bran to repiuce the bran sifted out of the ground wheat, and must eat yeast to supply the vitamin principle excluded when the wheat germ Is.left out of flour. Thumb Reveals Mentality ' The thumb Is said to be an excellent indicator of character. Those who are in full possession of all their faculties make good use of their thumbs, Wherever there is a tendency to In- sanity this generally useful and active member falls out of work. A physician In charge of a lunatic asylum states positively that if you see a person whose thumb remains inactive—stand- ing at right angles and taking no part In the act of writing, salutation, or manual exercise generally—you may be sure that he has a diseased mind. He may talk intelligently : nd appear sane in every respect, but undoubtedly a tinge of madness Is lurking within his brain. Stray Bit of Wisdom Truth Is like a pearl; he alone pos- sesses it who has plunged into the depth of life and torn his hands on the rocks of time.—Lnboulnge. In Ancient Oxford There Is, perhaps, no more Interest- ing place in the whole world- than Ox- ford, the ancient English unlversltj town. Any one who likes quaint old things can agreeably spend weeks there. Oxford university is not a\ sin gle institution like\ practically all American schools, but a group of 2C separate colleges, all linked together in a sort of league. The oldest one Ballol, was founded away back about 1260. The buildings of Christ Churct college are the largest and most Im- posing of the lot. Many of the stow steps of these old Oxford buildings have been worn nearly through by the foot- steps of succeeding generations of stu- dents and have had to be replaced. JUNIOR PROJECT SEND TEAMS TO STATE FAIR. Jefferson county will have two teams at the state fain' at Syracuse in September to represent its Junior Project work, according to an an- nouncement made by Alton H. Adams Junior Jr-oject leader. The teams,, one for agricultural activities and one for home making features will be chosen the week of September -2, from the best teams in the various county clubs. Last year the clothing demonstration teams from Jefferson county took the honors at the Syra- cuse exposition. An extensive- drive will be made over the county, according to Mr. A'daims, to have the various clubs or- ganize and train, teams for the, Jef- ferson county fair which will deter- mine the team which will go to Syra- cuse in September. Granges and local organizations are offering prizes for exhibits and -demonstrations while the New York Bankers association is awarding pins to all boys and girls completing their •projects and submitting their finan- cial records. Hoe Handle Homilies By Bob Adams. Agrigraphs. Spray the home vineyard reguilarly with bordeaux -mixture this summer.

To make bills cabbage grow, You plant it in the row; But careful always be-?- It's pe tsi, not Si Pea. One of the best recent additions to America's vegetables is Chinese cab- bage, or pe tsi. Many gardner.s who have tried it have failed because of planting at the wrong date. It takes from eighty to a hundred days to ma- ture, and requires cool weather in its later stages. It should not, therefore, be planted in the spring but it the summer at such a time as to mature in- the fall. The proper planting date in different parts of New York state varies from July 1 to August 1. It is rather difficult to transplant suc- cessfully, and is best planted in the rows where it is to stand. The rows Should be from -one and a half to two feet apart and the plants in the rows twelve to eighteen inches apart. Properly gu'own, pe tsi makes an up- right, rather loose head with the in- ner leaves blanched. It is a delicious salad plant, preferred by some to the best lettuce.

MAX-EY B 2» I (©, 1924, \Western Newspaper Union.) CHICAGO'S UNDERGROUND RAILROAD The main retail and skyscraper dis- trict of Chicago is jammed into what lias been aptly termed the dreaded \mile square\ and known as \The Loop,\ The traffic congestion which naturally \resulted and steadily grows worse as business Increases, produces myriads of vexatious delays which re- sult in costs beyond computation, nu- merous mishaps and the unnecessary use of countless swear words. In so large a city, the Incessant traffic necessary to move supplies Erom rail depots to stores and fac- tories, shipments from salesrooms and factories to freight terminals, mail, coal to boiler rooms, ashes and exca- vated material for new buildings to dumps, etc., reaches a startling mag- nitude and becomes an Increasingly serious problem—the corner of State and Madison streets, for instance, is said to be the busiest corner In the world. To relieve the congestion and exit down the delay, a far-sighted corpora- tion constructed an Intricate system of underground tunnels through which a railroad operates. Now much of this traffic is economically, quickly and conveniently trundled through this un- derground artery of commerce—dur- ing a recent year about 611,000 tons of freight, 58,000 tons of coal and 219,- 000 wagonloads of excavated material and cinders. Six feet wide and 7% feet high, and surrounded by a 12-inch wall of solid concrete, these tunnels tire from 42 to 45 feet below the street surface. The method o'f construction left no chance for cave-Ins or settling and has not Interfered With the foundations of buildings. There is little water seep- age, the average temperature Is 55 de- grees, winter and summer, and the frequent passage of trains provides a natural-and adequate ventilation. There are 62 miles of these horse- uhoe-shuped tunnels, in which there are HO crossings, 652 intersections, and 1,25-1 switches. The equipment includes 132 electric motors and 3,000 cars, each 4 feet wide, 12 feet long, and holding from 1 to 0 tons, depend- ing on the nature of the load. The track gauge is 2 feet. The tunnel and Its equipment represents an invest- ment .of about $40,000,000. The opera- tion requires about 5T0 people. Train movements are controlled by telephone—a system of signals operat- ing to avoid collisions at street Inter- sections. In case of fire, a deluge of water is prevented by heavy tight-fit- ted Iron doors over nil shafts leading co the tunnel. There are connections with univer- sal freight-receiving stations, railroad depots, freight terminals, business houses, ofllce buildings, etc. Reviving Floivers The best way to revive withering flowers is to dose them with aspirin, according to the announcement of a French scientist. He claims to have discovered that an ordinary aspirin tablet dissolved in warm water will freshen the most delicate cut flowers in vases.

Y.. got the full benefit during the recent rainy season of a community ditching with. dyna- ( mite project which they completed i last fall. Forty-two handed to-1 gather to widen and deepen Birch Creek, which runs from Pleasant Lake near Macomb into Indian Creek. This stream is the natural drainage channel for about 1,400 acres o£ hay flats but had become so filled up that every summer much, of the adjoining land was under water and many tons of hay were lost. By. the advice of S. M. Farley of the St. Lawrence County Farm Bureau and an explosives ex- pert, this creek was blasted out with dynamite,-for eight miles so that it now has throughout a channel from three to four feet deep and twelve to sixteen feet wide. Blasted Ditch. Througli Flats The worK was done at approxi- mately ?5. per acre of land drain- ed. Birch Creek runs for 1,200 feet through a ravine which has a hard blue clay and shale bottom covered with stones and boulders and which ends in a rock ledge, while the remainder is through marsh and swamp. Costs of ditch- ing In the two sections were there- fore kept separately. For blasting through the ravine and rock ledge the total cost wag $663. Of this, ?128.60 was for explosives—700 pounds of 50% straight nitroglyc- erin dynanfite, the remainder for other supplies and labor. Estim- ates for doing this section by other methods ran from $800 to $2,000. The remaining Beven and eight tenths miles cost $8,776.78. The chief Items were as follows! Dynamited Ditch. Through Havirie Dynamite (32 135 pounds of 60% straight) $6 888 47 Electric blasting caps and •wire -- 73.06 Labor 737.90 The dynamite made a clean ditch so that no hand work on banks or bottom was necessary. One blaster and two helpers did all the work of loading and firing without accident of any kind. The cost of dynamite per rod on this long marsh and swamp sec- tion of the creek was $2.20%! total cost per rod $2.72. At Mor- ley, also in St. Lawrence County, s, narrower ditch three and a third miles long was recently blasted at a cost of $1.77 per rod. These figures showed the landowners that ditching with dynamite.was econ- omical, as well as easy, safe and efficient and a number blasted ditches on their own farms this spring, ..'_.. MS VISIBLE HERE OHiUST 22 PLANET WILL BE NEARER TO THE EARTH THAN IN OVER A CENTURY. An astronomical phenomenon which -will attract the interest of the lay- man as well as that of the scientist will occur August 22, when the planet of Mars, coming into opposition to the earth, will be nearer to the earth, than at anytime for considerable more than a century. In connection with the event, Prank E. Sea-graves, a Providence astrono- mer, who is connected with the Har- vard Observatory and who also main- tains a private observatory in North ficitu'ate, has made computation of •general, interest which he has com- municated to the Providence Journal. The first question of the average -person when informed .of such an im- pending event, is whether or not he can witness the phenomenon. For- tunately, in this case, everyone will be able to see the planet, which will b.e a most conspicious object, rising about sunset a little south of east remaining plainly visible for a week or more, during each entire night. iShining with a fiery red light, it will be a\ prominent object for the trained naked eye, for a much longer period, for it will g-row brighter than Jupiter throu'gih the month of September. The figures given below should en- able the layman to gain an approxi- mate idea of the relation of Mars to file earth and to the sun. It must be remembered, however, that the as- tronomer does not need seven-Jeag-ue boots to acquaint himself with a planet a hundred million or so miles away, for such a distance is no more than a hop, skip and jump in com- parison to the inconceivable abyss between the earth and some of tile more remote stars. When the ciphers run out too far, it is customary to measure the dis- tanc ein light years, or the number of years it takes light at 168,000 miles a second to traverse the inter- vening ether. The pole star, or north star, for instance, which has been a friend to mariners since men went down the sea in ships,, is 45 light years away. Compared with that gap, Mars is just above the radio aerial on the roof. The mean distance of Mars from the sun is 141,634^565 miles, its gsreatest distance 154,744,700 miles, and\ its least distance 128,324.430 miles. In the solar system it is- -the fourth planet in point of distance •fawn the sun. The earth, which is third, has a mean distance from the sun, based on a horizontal paralax of 8,80 seconds of an arc, of 92,889,470 miles. The greatest distance that can ever occur between Mars and the earth is 247,634,170 miles. The least is 34,- 496,777 miles. On August 22 it will be only 34,651,000 miles away. At about this time it will also be near the sun, for the planet is in perihelion on August 30, and is then only 128,324,- 430 miles from Old Sol.

Otis Skinner Tells of Successful Stags Hoax In the fall of 18S7 the thinner was opened with Dandy Dick, a racing play by PInero. in It I had to play the violin, and 1 do nut and never could play the violin! The Illusion, however, was well managed. I tuned my fiddle and was accompanied by Eflle Shannon—n charmiTi.i actress— upon the piano. 1 bowed the instru- ment pantomimlcally against nn open- ing in the window curtains, behind which Wldmer, our leader, played \My Pretty Jane\ with great sweetness. Heavens knows how many times we rehearsed It. Miss Shannon didn't play the piano any too well, but she really had to play and she was nerv- ous. I was praying that the audience would not detect the trick and jeer at me. It was fearfully difficult, for we had lines to speak through the music. The trick finished, I was astounded at receiving an Insistent encore. We could not repeat without repeat- ing the scene, lines, business and all. The house had taken the bait and be- lieved it real. I bowed repeatedly in agony and depreciation, while Daly was tying himself into knots of mirth down In the front entrance. Wldmer had been altogether too good!—From Footlights and Spotlights.

The word Is related to the word \tango In which dancers closely touch each other—too closely, in fact, some moralists complain. The little particle of negation, \In gives \in- tangible\ the opposite sense. The thing that cannot be touched or have a finger laid on It is not al- ways a material object. It is some- times a mental or a moral quantity, such as an argument. Some of the most Impressive things in the world are intangible, but that does nol mean that they are not real, Xou cannot touch, for Instance, one of the most beautiful things In na- ture, such as a glorious sunset. But It is none the less real.—Chicago Journal. Uncle Ato says country life is the best only when those who live it think so. • PLATTSBURGH AND ITS ADVAN- TAGES. The Eagle has just received a copy of a booklet published by The.Adiron- dack Bureau, of which George S. Bixby is manager, setting forth the beauties and commercial advantages of Plattsburgh and Clinton county. Of 32 pages, it is full of most interest- ing information and is especially com- mended to toim'ists who travel in that section of New York state. The front cover is adorned with a picture of the Royal Savage from a sketch in the papers of General Phil- ip Schuyler. The boat unfurled its colors on Lake Chanrplain in 1776. The fore part of the book is called \Seven Scenes in Plattsburgh,\ out- lining seven outstanding historical events of that section, beginning with the visit of John Jacob Astor to that point in 1794 and ending with the officers training camp there in 1917. As the book points ont, Plattsburgh has a population of 12,000. It is close to the great playground of the east, the Adirondacks. It possesses excellent commercial advantages and is surrounded by many points of great historical interest. Plan before you can.
