what they did for me. For two years
l had what the doctors called rheuma-

but nothing helped ME till l got Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in
the blood. Healthy kidneys take all

Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys.

is that a man should disregard his

These things being understood in the
beginning, your standing anon the

attention.: When you start out. be
sure that your mixture is correct: Put
about five gallons of IS gasoline into
your tank, and to this a couple OF
highballs for yourself. You VIII be sur

therefore. from he steering apparatus
TO the spark plug. One of the greatest
things about a~utomobiling is the way II
rains the senses. BY practice you will
get so that you can pass through the
most beautiful scenery without being
aware of 1t. thus acquiring that superb
concentration necessary. And you VIII
soon be able to detect any unusual
smell and locate 1t at once.

while this will become second nature.
so that you won't even have to think
about it. Remember. that to keep your

lubricate 1t constantly. To do this sue

use on yourself. BY n by o can

There are three entirely different
kinds OF ingredients used in making
tne three different varieties Of baking
powders on the market viz.:-W Min
eral-Acid or Alum. () Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and g. Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients. and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
Q) Mineral Acid, or Alum, is made
from a kind Of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil Of vitriol and from
this solution a product is obtained
which Is alum. Alum Is cheap; costs
about two cents a pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral-Acid
sells from 10 to 25c a pound.
~ Bone-Acid, or Phosphate. is the
basis Of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manufac-
turer Of q phosphate powder. The
U. 8. Patent Once Report gives q full
and exact description. but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones. after being ground.
are put into freshly diluted oil Of Wit
riol and with continual stirring and in
the following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
Ing powders are made: such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound.
(3) Cream Of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the Juice
from the press in the manufacture Of
wine. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cask, boiled
with water. and crystals of Cream of
Tartar. white and very pure, separate
and are collected. 1t differs In no re-
spect from nc form in which 1t orig
inally existed in the grape. Cream Of
Tartar. then. while the most expensive,
is the only ingredient that should be
used in q baking powder to act upon
the soda. as lts whoiesomeness Is be-
yond question. Cream of Tartar bak-
ing powders sell at about 40 to so
cents q pound.
Such are the facts. and every one,
careful Of the health Of the family,
should remember this rule:-Rakin.
powders selling from 10 to y cents a
pound are made Of Mineral Acids:
those selling from 70 TO SO rents II
Rone-Acid: and those from 10 to N
cents OF Cream Of Tartar made from
grapes.

There has been much curiosity as to
the origin of the name Cocktail" At
last some n has come forward with
an answer to this question which may
be pure invention or truth. but at any
rate sounds plausible. In the early
days, when doctors used
methods and medicines in the cure OF
disease, there was a habit among them
OF treating certain diseases OF the
throat with a pleasant liquid. which
was applied by the tip of a long feath-
OF time this remedy came to be used
o ftime this remedy came to be used
as a gargle, still retaining its old name.
In the course of its evolution the gar
gle gained most of the present ingredi-
en~ts-spirits, sugar, bitters and so on
till 1t became the highly esteemed
beverage of today.
