METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE Negroes In The Automobile Manufacture. The above heading was found in National Baptist Union Review, published in Nashville, Tenn., of Feb. 12th 1916. "Nearly every colored man, whether professional or tradesman or farmer, knows something of the vehicles made by C. R. Patterson & Sons, but most of them know nothing of the new "Patterson-Green-field" automobile that is now being manufactured at Greensboro, Ohio, by this wide-awake firm. Wherever they have gone they have caused others to buy. The Physician is fast giving up the horse for the fast automobile and men who do things want to keep up with the age in which they live.

It makes the home life bright, it smooths away the little roughnesses, and it is like a ray of sunshine that brightens the darkest corners and drives away discontent and gloom.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little "insides" are indured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. Incorrigible. "I understand you fell off the water wagon." "No, sir," replied Uncle Bill Bottletop. "It is true I dismounted. But I did so with dignity and deliberation." KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT RECOGNIZED An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re-employed to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. According to this it would seem that a medicine for the kidneys, possessing real healing and curative properties, would be a blessing to thousands. Dr. Kilner's Swamp-Root, the well known kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is remarkably successful in sickness caused by kidney disease. It would and gentle in its action and its healing influence is soon noticed in most cases. There is no other remedy like Swamp-Root. It will surely and effectively overcome kidney, liver and bladder troubles—and you can depend upon it. Go to what you get a bottle so as to start treatment today.

KNIFE AND PISTOL Effective Combination to Be Carried in Pocket. Discharges Small Cartridge, but One Capable of Inflicting Damage at Close Range—Useful Defense The smallest breech-loading cannon in the world is now being made for pocket use. It is not a toy, but takes a 22-caliber rim-fire cartridge. Of course, it is not easy to hit anything at a distance with it, on account of there being no sights and the barrel being only half an inch long and concealed, but a 22-caliber bullet is useless except at very close range. The special use of this "cannon" is for scaring off burglarls, as when fired with a blank cartridge it makes a tremendous bang, and fires a bullet that would inflict a nasty wound at close range. Its inventor is Edmund C. Moore of New York, who is also the patentee of a rifle grenade. It is in the form of a pocket knife no larger than the usual knife and has Knife which is a small pistol. A, trigger; B, barrel; C, pivot on which barrel swings to open; D, muzzle. two blades of fine steel. But at one end is a hole. Anyone asked to examine the article and say what it is will be most likely to guess that it is some new-fangled penell sharpener or cigar cutter. In the end of the knife is a steel block that turns out on a swivel, being held by a spring that is released with the thumbnail and reveals a hole straight through the block. The cartridge is inserted at the base of this hole, the block is swung back into place, the trigger on the side is opened, thus cocking the pistol, which is now ready to fire. It is held in the hand and the trigger pressed down with the thumb—New York World Sunday Magazine. Survival Among Birds. The struggle of life among the birds and other wild creatures is so severe that the feeble and malformed, or the handicapped in any way, quickly drop out, writes John Burroughs in Harper's Magazine. Probably none of them ever die from old age. They are cut off in their prime. A weeding out process goes on from the time they leave the nest. A full measure of life, the perfection of every quill and feather, and unerring instinct, carry them along. They are always in the enemy's country; they are always on the firing line; eternal vigilance and ceaseless activity are the price of life with them. The natural length of life of our smaller birds is calculated to be eight or ten years, but probably not one in a thousand reaches that age. Not half a dozen times in my life have I found the body of a dead bird that did not show some marks of violence. Mules Now Kerchoo-ing. Even the mules in the mines here are suffering from the ravages of the gripe epidemic and stable horses and hostlers are kept busy caring for the sick animals. Many miners declare that they have caught the infection from the mules, who sneeze in the limited air supply in the underground workings and spread the germs all over. The local veterinarians have thus far vainly sought to find a remedy to combat the disease. In some cases quinhe and whisky appeared to help the animals temporarily.—Hazleton (Pa.) Dispatch to Philadelphia Inquirer. War Unkind to the Lawyer. The war, while having a pretty depressing influence upon litigation, is having a still larger effect upon calls to the bar.

ILL The Natural Pride of Those Who Take Part in It. To those who have built railroads through and across the prairies of Western Canada, connecting that great empire of grain and cattle, horse and sheep with the world's markets in the east, must be awarded the privilege of looking upon their work, and its results with pardonable pride. If they reminiscence, and tell of the hardships and the privations, why shouldn't they? The broad prairies on which the buffalo roamed and fed, are now alive with cities, towns and villages. Farms—large and small—on which machinery has chased the bugaboo of laborious work off the farm, and making 'arm life one of the most pleasant and prosperous of occupations—are being cultivated by men of the highest stamp of manhood. Many of these have inherited from their forebears the physical strength and the high type of manliness that was theirs in the days when they hewed their homes out of the virgin forest, and made them what may be seen today, beautiful farms in the east. On the whole the western prairies breed a high type of manhood, wrest from him faults and diseases which would be his were it not for the upbuilding influence and character of prairie life. When the builder of the western Canadian prairie looks upon the result of his work, why shouldn't his chest expand? It was probably some of this feeling of pride that took possession of Sir Donald Mann, vice president of the Canadian Northern Railway the other day in Winnipeg, when he said: "I am not in the habit of giving advice, but I have no hesitation of advising the young men of Canada, every young man, to get out and get a piece of western Canada's land that now can be bead for the asking and be their own masters." "It was 36 years ago when I first came to Winnipesag," he said. "At that time there were less than 150,000 people west of Lake Huron in Canada, and the only bit of railway in operation was between St. Boniface and Emerson—about sixty miles. Today there are nearly 20,000 miles of railway in actual operation and the population is over two and a quarter million, a wonderful achievement in such a short period you will agree, when you have contemplated it a moment." "At that time all the flour, meat and many other supplies for our contracts were brought from the States. Now consider what the west is doing today. You have a grain production exceeding a billion bushels and yet only a comparatively small area of the tillable land of the country is occupied. Five years hence you' will be more than doubling that." Advertisement. Spain has opened an aviation school near Madrid in which the government aids those receiving instruction. A GLASS OF SALTS WILL END KIDNEY-BACKACHE Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Recommends Only Salts, Particularly, If Bladder Bothers You. When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach With a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinary waste and stimulates them, to their normal activity. 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. Drink lots of 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 morning 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 so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache. Adv. Age brings a man knowledge of many things he doesn't want to know.

MADE TREE SERVE AS TOWER California Farmer Solved Windmill Problem in a Peculiar but Satisfactory Fashion. A growing eucalyptus, partially cleared of leaves and branches, has been used as a windmill tower by a California farmer, in search of good running water; the farmer found a spring underneath a grove of eucalyptus trees. It was found that in order to erect a windmill standard over the spring it would be necessary to sacrifice the beautiful trees. Finally solving the problem of building the windmill without destroying the trees, he mounted the fan on one of the central ```markdown ``` trees. Clearing away much of the foliage on the nearest trees, he ran braces to the windmill and secured a machine which has given him entire satisfaction. — Popular Science Monthly. ONCE A GREAT STRONGHOLD Kaminilets Polish Fortress That Protected Europe Against the Barbarians of Asia. Kaminilets Podolsk, the city upon which the latest large-scale Russian offensive was based, that against the Austro-German lines in eastern Galicia and Bukowina, was at one time the greatest fortress in the kingdom of Poland, the stronghold that held back the wild hordes of Asia through many years of battle, says a war geography statement given out by the National Geographic society. The Tartars struck time after time against its high, rocky bluff in vain, and many skirmishing parties of Poles and Russians left the fortress to carry terror into the steppe around the southern Dnieper. The town lies but a few miles from the Austrian frontier, and is built over a peninsula formed by the Smotritch river, an affluent of the Dnister. Odessa is 235 miles in the southeast, and Kief about an equal distance in the northeast. Kaminiets is the seat of administration of the Podolian government, and, since the war, it has become important as one of the larger supply depots just back of the Russian front. It is divided into two parts, one, the old town, spreading over the hills, while the other nestles around the base. Across the river, the ancient castle still frowns defiance upon the country, though its war-worn walls could offer but little resistance before the power of modern guns. "Battu, the cruel leader of one of the waves of Mongol buccaneering against Europe, laid Kamlnlets waste in 1240. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, storm after storm of Tartar, Turk and Moldavian invasion broke upon its walls, and the principal industry of the people of this outpost became that of fighting and weapon forging. The adventuresome from all parts of Europe found their way into garrison there, and took part in the great drama in which the East was finally turned back upon itself. The city passed to Russia in 1795." USE FOR POCKET FLASHLIGHT May Be Made to Serve the Purpose of the X-Ray When Minor Operation is in Question. James M. Kane of Doylestown, Pa., sends to Popular Mechanics Magazine an account of how a splinter may be found under the finger nail. To remove a splinter in that position is usually a matter of guesswork, for it cannot be seen unless its end projects. Putting the finger over a pocket flashlight in a dark room makes the splinter show up as if it were under the X-rays. Many surgeons use the flashlights now for illuminating the throat, pharynx and mouth. Want Kisses Sterilized. The New York health board is out for the sterilized kiss. "You've got to stop kissing while the present gripe epidemic is on," says the director of the bureau of public health education. "The deadly grippie bacillus love nothing better than to spring from the depths of a lover's throat, speed across the bridge made by a kiss and jump with clutching tentacles down the throat at the other end of the kiss. If you kiss when you have grippie you are almost certain to transmit the malady with your affection." Grippie or no grippie, Broadway celebrated the New Year with promiscuous kissing. Five minutes before midnight every glimmer in the restaurants were put out, and the order was "let kissing be unconfined." And it was. SUDDEN DEATH Caused by Disease of the Kidneys The close connection which exists between the heart and the kidneys is well known nowadays. As soon as kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is increased and the heart functions are attacked. When the kidneys no longer pour forth waste, uremic poisoning occurs, and the person dies and the cause is often given as heart disease, or disease of brain or lungs.

And this discovery is simply this:—that it is no longer necessary to disturb the delicate little stomachs of the kiddies in treating cold troubles. But let Mrs. Ford speak for herself. "I have tested Vap-O-Rub three times on my little boy four years old for croup, and can say I have never used a medicine of greater value for this trouble. It acted almost immediately. My boy is subject to croup and I have used almost every kind of medicine one could buy for it, but it was always about three days and nights before I could get it checked.

Vick's Vap-G-Rub is the invention of a North Carolina druggist. He found how to combine Menthol and Camphor with the volatile oils of Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs and Juniper in a salive form, so that, when Vap-G-Rub is applied externally, the body heat releases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors are inhaled with every breath, through the air passages, to the lungs, loosening the phlegm, and, in addition, Vick's is absorbed through the skin, taking out the tightness and soreness. This double action makes Vap-G-Rub useful for a wide range of troubles. From inflammations of the air passages, such as head colds, catarrh, asthma, sore throat, bronchitis or deep chest colds, down to inflammations of the skin and tissues, such as burns, bruises, stings, piles and itchings. We particularly recommend it for mothers with small children, as it can be used freely, with perfect safety, on the youngest member of the family. Three sizes, 25c, 50c or $1.00.

Sick headache, billiousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv. RESPITE FOR MARY THOMAS Colored Woman, Disatisfied With Wings, Came Back to Earth for Another Spell of Life. Mary Thomas had been on the books of the benevolent association for many years. Her rent was regularly paid from its all too small fund, her clothes and her medicines were largely provided for in the same manner. At last one day the treasurer's assistant, a negro preacher, burst into the office of his chief, hardly wafting to knock. "Mary Thomas, she done daid, sah," he exclaimed. "The gods are good," the treasurer breathed, "Sit down, Casey, and tell me how it happened." "Ah don't know much 'bout it, sah," the negro answered. "Ma ol 'oman, she heered it dis mo'n'om 'from a great gran'chile or Mary's, an Ah comes up yhar right away to tell yer. Ise on ma way over dar now, ter see she laid out properly. Good mo'n', sah" The next day a slow, sad knock sounded at the door of the treasurer's office, and Casey disconsolately walked in. "She done come ter life, sah," he said shortly. "Who has come to life, Casey? What are you talking about?" "Mary Thomas, sah. Hit warnn't nothin' but a trance an' she up an' roun' ergin big as life. She say as how her wings ain't been put on like they'd ought ter, an dey comes off, dat howcome she ain't stay daid, sah, yes, sah." THE PROFESSOR'S STATEMENT. Prof. Aug. F. W.

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash out poisons. Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleaning, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any store that handles drugs which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.—Adv. EAGER FOR A SETTLEMENT Man on Trial Charged With Consuming Moonshine Whisky Got Tired of the Law's Delay.

A sunbrowned "cracker" from Decatur had been arrested on a trivial charge, but the two officers on the case could not agree as to whether the defendant had been caught drink vg moonshine or not. Baddenly the prisoner raised his hand, and motioned to Judge Broyles "What have you to say, Peter Coop er?" the judge inquired. "I were just thinking, it sho' woulf he'p matters, jedge, ef yo' all woulf make up yo' mind one way er 'tother Ef hit' guilty, then I wanter begin sarvin; ef hit' innercest, I'd like to go out and finish that spree I done started."—Case and Comment. Left His Eye on Guard. An Irish soldier had lost his left eye in action, but was allowed to remain in the service on consenting to have a glass eye in its place. Being a typical "absent-minded beggar," he appeared on parade one day minus the left "window." Said the adjunct: "Nolan, you are improperly dressed. Why is your artificial eye not in its proper place." Like a flash came the reply: "Sure, str, I left it in my boy to keep an eye on my kit while I am on parade." "All my life I have been a slave to coffee. I kept gradually losing my health, but I used to say 'nonsense, it don't hurt me.' "Slowly I was forced to admit the truth and the final result was that my nervous force was shattered. "My heart became weak and uncertain in its action and that frightened me. Then my physician told me that I must stop drinking coffee or I could never expect to be well again. "I thought of Postum but could hardly bring myself to give up the coffee. "Finally I concluded that I owed it to myself to give Postum a trial. I got a package and carefully followed the directions, and what a delicious, nourishing, rich drink it was! Do you know, I found it very easy to shift from coffee to Postum. "Almost immediately after I made the change I found myself better, and as the days went by I kept on improving. My nerves grew steady. I slept well and felt strong and well-balanced. Now the old nervousness is gone and I am well once more." It pays to give up the drink that acts on some like a poison, for health is the greatest fortune one can have. Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form—must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—a soluble powder—dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 60c tins.

NEVER THOUGHT OF FATHER Inconsiderate Youth Insisted on Wearing His Trousses Too All-Fired High at Ankles.

Overdoing It "Why so?" inquired his practical friend. "Think how easy it would be for me to jump out of the way of automobiles." "Umph!
