What He Did.


Willie had a yellow dog that was
perfect nuisance. but SO devoted was
the boy to him that he could not be
persuaded to have him killed. One day
when his father had been unusually
annoyed by the antics Of the dog he
called Willie In from play and said:
'My boy. Ill give you q dollar II
you get rid of that dog"
Willle's face expressed great amaze
ment ut the thought Of 80 much money
belonging to him. He looked long ut
the dog and finally told his father he
would give him his decision the next
day. it
The following day Willie sought his
father and said:
''l've got rid of Max, father"
"Pm more than glad. Willle." said
the father. Here's your money: you
have earned II. How did you get rid
of him?"
Why" answered Willie AZ he put
the money In his pocket. II swapped
him to Bill Morgan for two yellow

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is Sign You Have Bee |
Eating Too Much Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
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
do your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste; else you have
backache, sick stomach and 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 chan
nels often get sore, water scalds and
you are obliged to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharm1-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa,
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine,
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutraliza
acide in the urine so it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

lar meat eaters 1t is inexpensive,

UNCLE SAM WILL
PUBLISH STATISTICS
ON COTTON seed

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1S.-Direc-
tor Harris, of the bureau of the census
finds that there is great demand for
the publication at more frequent in
tervals of statistics concerning the
consumption of cotton seed. 1t has
been the practice of the bureau of the
census to compile statistics for this
important part of the cotton crop on
ly twice during the ginning season.
the first report for the crop of 1912
related to the quantity of cotton seed
crushed prior to January 1, 1913. The
second report showed the quantity
crushed prior to March 1, 1913, with
an estimate of the quantity remain
ing to be crushed from the crop.
The statistics of cotton seed are
collected in connection with those for
the production of cotton as reported
by the ginners. This is necessary be-
cause the quantity of linters is con-
stantly increasing and forms mucn
larger percentage of the total crop
than heretofore.
Mr.. Harris believes that an addi-
tional report showing the Quantity Of
seed crushed and of linters obtained
should relate to some date between
October 81 and January /. He is not
certain as to the most desirable date,
and is accordingly corresponding
with the farmers and cottonseed oil
mills in order to establish it. 1t is
hoped that all will agree upon fixed
date, so that the work can be inaugu-
rated during the present season.
This additional report will be Of
great value to the farmers, as well as
t.. the oil mills and public generally.
