Wisconsin won drom the Gophers Saturday by a 28 to 7 score. A. G. Rutledge has been re-elected secretary treasurer of the Northern Minnesota Editorial association. “Doc,” because of his energetic ef- forts, has been one of the main causes for the great success of the as- sociation since its organization six years ago, and the newspaper men of this section are to be congratulated in deciding to retain him in office, It looks a lot as though Governor Eberhart has fallen down once again. And this time his mistake was In not renaming John Lind as a member of the University board of regents. The former governor was an ideal member of the board, and whether he would have accepted the position is not known. The fact that @ good man was named in his stead has little bearing n the matter, A WIRELESS STORY. ~ Call From the Pacific That Was Heard In the Gulf of Mexico. It was ‘“eight bells” on a ship lying at anchor down in the gulf of Mexico, The men had retired for the night to thelr bunks and hammocks. nnd the wireless operator, alone In his watch- fulness, was “listening in” at the head phones. Suddenly, out of the pitchy darkness of the sea, o message that curdled the blood in his veins leaped down the an- tenna and hummed its fenrful contents, “8. 0. 8.—8. 0. 8.—8. 0. 8.” And a few minutes later, in response to the cus- tomary reply, “What Is your position?” the answer flashed back, “125 degrees 27 minutes 87 seconds west. 47 degrees 88 minutes 10 seconds north That meant that out on the Pacific ocean 140 miles west of Seattle, Wash, —2,850 miles away—a vessel was ecalle ing for help. The call of the Pacific! The operator hardly belleved it. With tremulous fingers he repeated the call to the sta- tlon nearest to the vessel in distress, But already the wireless watchers along the western- coast had caught the message, and relief was on its way. Clear across the entire North American continent, over land and sea and moun- tain ranges, the ship’s cry had been heard.—World's Work. BARREN PALESTINE. Its Forests Are Gone and the Jordan ls Now a Feeble Stream. One of the most remarkable Illustra- tions in all history of the ill effects of the disappearance of forests may be observed in Palestine. In the days when Joshua conquered the promised land Palestine was a wonderfully fer- tile country, a land flowing with milk and honey. The Lebanon mountains were heavily wooded, and a large pop- ulation was.supported in comfort, The general devastation of the for- ests brought about, however, a grad- ual deterloration of the country. The hills of Galllee, ivhich had long served as pasture lands for large herds of cat- tle and sheep, are now sterile. The Jordan - has become an insignificant stream, and several smaller rivers are now completely dried up throughout the greater part of the year. Some few valleys In which fertile earth washed down from the hills has been deposited have retained their old fertility. The land today supports only one-sixth the population of the time of Solomon.— Christian Herald. o TWEA Table Manners In the Old Days. Modern table manners compare fa- vorably with those of the past. Mrs. Hannah Woolley, author of “The Gen- tlewoman’s Companion,” the standard seventeenth century Took on etiquette, found it necessary thus to warn her readers: “Gentlewomen. discover not by any ravenous gesture your angry appetite nor fix your eyes too greedily on the meat before you, as if you ‘would devour more that way than your throat would swallow. * * * |p carving avoid clapping your fingers in your mouth and licking them after you have burned them. Close your lips when you eat and do not smack like a pig. Fill not your mouth so full that your cheeks shall swell like a pair of Scotch bagpipes. It is very uncomely to drink so large a draft that your breath is almost gone and you are forced to blow strongly to recover yourself.” Historic Hyde Park. Hyde park has seen ngt only magni- ficlent reviews, from Stuart times on- ward, but has witnessed also military musters with a more warlike intent. ‘Here during the commonwenlth were encamped the Roundhead armies of well reviewéd his Ironsides.

A farmer who mainly out of curios- ity had grown a crop of flax had'a tablecloth made out of it. Some time later he remarked to a lady visitor at dinner, *'1 grew this tablecloth myself.” “Did you really?* she said, appurentiy much astonished. *“How did you man- age it?” It was plain from ber tone that she had no idea how tablecloths came Into existence, so the farmer low- ered his voice mysteriously as he re- plied, “It you’ll promise not to tell any one I'll tell you.” The lady promised. “Well,” proceeded the farmer still in the same mysterious tone, “I planted a napkin!” 8ide Light on History. Socrates was about to quaff the hem- lock, “This,"” he said. “is the cup that neither cheers nor inebriates.” Making a sort of wry face, just the same, he hastened to bring the incident to a close.—Chicago Tribune.

The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. 2 Drink 10ts or water—you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morn- ing for a few days and your kidneys will 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 clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine 80 it no longer is a source of irri- tation, thus ending bladded weak- ness. N Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink which every- one should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active.
