WHERE THEY GOT THEIR
- ... NAMES
This name of the strawberry is
explained by some as applying to
the custom of throwing straw on
the ground about the plants to keep
the fruit clean of the dirt of the
■oil.
This is not the case.
The plain fact of the matter ia
that the name is not strawberry at
all. Originally this fruit was called
the ‘atrayberry,” from the habits its
runners possess of rambling
away from the parent plants.
Gooseberry, again, has nothing
do with geese. The bush owes its
name to its long Jhorns, resembling
those of gorse, and was originally
« gorseberry.”
The cranberry should really be
* t craneberry” Joecause- of its long
■lender stem and branches.
r Names of most common fruits are
either contractions or corruptions.
Damsons; for Instance, are really
plums from Damascus, though quite
What they have to do with that Sy
rian city is a little doubtful, while
the so-called Mayduke cherries
should be “Medoc” cherries, from
that part of France where they were
first grown.
Currants are named from their
place of origin, the Greek city of
Corinth, while cherries commemorate
Cerasus, a town in Asia Minor.
IS OUR NAVY A “BUNCH OF
JUNK? »* e»
The Navy Department indicates
that our navy is little better than a
mass of junk, and that capital ships
are about to fall to pieces for lack of
money for repairs.
The only reasonable explanation
for this gloomy picture is found in
the plea for more money, because
the records show that during the last
six years the Navy Department has
had a total of more than four anH
one-quarter billions of dollars.
If the navy is nothing more than a
bunch of junk after the expenditure
of''such sums, it would appear that
no amount of money under the same
conditions would get us anywhere.
„ AMERICA LEADS AGAIN
Just returned from Europe, where
he remained seven weeks visiting the
leading radio engineers and scientists
in governmental and private radio
circles abroad, David Sarnoff, vice
president and general manager of the
Radio Corporation of America, says:
I investigated the broadcasting
systems of England, France and Ger
many and met the principal portions,
both in governmental and private cir
cles, responsible for. the development
of radio in Europe. My conclusions
are that broadcasting, which was
itiated in our own country, has
vanced in the United States, both as
a public service and as an industry,
to so great an extent as to make
comparisons wjfh European countries
almost impossible. <
In France, it „ , is just , beginning,
and in Geermany it has hardly be
gun. In England greater progress
has been made than in other Euro
pean countries, but even there it can
not be said to compare favorably
with the United States either as to
quality ro variety of programs, or as
to effectiveness, simplicity or small
cost of receiving apparatus
factured and sold for home use.
... Governmental regulations and
s trie tier.-, retard the growth of
broadcasting art in Europe, and
the same time deprive the
public of the freedom, enjoyment and
instructive information available to
all in the United States."
Once again has the private initia
tive and inventive ingenuity of Amer
ica gained for the common citizen
benefits far in advance of the govern
ment-owned, government-controlled or
government-regulated services in Eu
rope.
GROWTH OF ARBITRATION
There is a notable tendency in in
dustrial, political and economic rela
tions to resort more to arbitration
and less to force.
The mailed hand of militarism, the
boycott and the strike are less in
evidence in international affairs and
controversies between capital and
labor.
More time and money are to be
spent in the future in threshing out
the economic details and arriving at
the actual facts in differences arising
between governments and struggles
between employers and employes.
British Premier MacDonald, before
the assembly of the League of Na
tions, said questions of security and
disarmament must be settled by ar
bitration in future. j
He declares that no permanent es
tablishment of world peace is pos
sible without a scientific system of
arbitration being put into operation.
The indications in the industrial
world point to the subsidence of
manifestations of kaiserism in set
tlement of labor controversies.

The rookie had lately joined a
crack cavalry outfit, and after sever
al immitations of the Prince of
Wales had lost some of his exuber
ance. He was standing on the sun
ny side of the c anteen looking like
the spirit of melancholy when the
genial chaplain approached.

asked the chaplain. “Home sick? H
a Oh, a little, I guess,” was the
answer. “You see, I’m just a raw

you shouldn’t say ‘raw recruit.’
The ‘raw’ is superfluous.”
The rookie rubbed his anatomy re

Sir John Simon, K. C., the eminent
advocate, was once addressing a
group of young legal students, and
among other things he warned them
always to sift carefully all evidence
and never on any account ot allow
themselves to jump to conclusions.
“Now,” he continued, “a friend
of mine who has just returned from
a hunting expedition in Central Af
rica told me of a most remarkable
occurrence. He and his party were
trekking through a heavily; wooded
region when the cries of a number
of birds attracted him to a bit of
overgrown jungle. Peering within
he beheld a trunkless body.
“My dear fellow,” interrupted one
of his hearers, "surely you mean a
headless body. »
“My dear fellow,” retorted the
smiling K. C., "didn’t I warn you not
fo jump to conclusions. The body
was that of an elephant.”

IF KIDNEYS ACE
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Often Means You
Have Not. Been Drinking
Enough Water.
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it may mean you have been eating
foods which create acids, says a well
known authority. An excess of such
acids overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels,
removing all the body’s urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full
of sediment,. channels, ofter get .sore,
water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three time f
during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from youi
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys
may then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice combined
with lithia, and has been used for
years to help clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the system, so they no long
er irritate, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not
injure and makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia water drink. Drink
lots of soft water. By all means
have your physician examine your
kidneys at least twice a year.
