IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is a sign you have been
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
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 relieve your bowels; re-
moving 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 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 pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then 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 sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-wat ter drink.

Lesson text, Luke 19:1l-2G
This lesson relates how no5leman
5vent into a fair country and before
leaving called up a portion of his
servants and instructed them in the
care of his business until his return,
TO one he gave ten talents to trade
with. to another five, and to another
one. After his departure rebel
lion against his authority was started.
ON his return he calls for an ac-
counting and finds that two OF his
servants had doubled their invest
ments. while the man with the small
lest capital had hidden his resources
and made no use of them. Each OF
those who had been faithful to the
trust reposed in him was praised Tor
his diligence and was elevated to a
position of greater trust commcnsu-
rate with his fidelity, while the one
whose selfish instincts had led him
to do nothing for his lord except TO
return the sum given him Tor invest
mcnt was denounced for his inildel-
ity and the talent he had transferred
to the hands of the man at the hcad

strated that this was an unequal Ill
vision of wealth. the ruler let 1t be
known that those who made the best
usc Of their ability should receive ad-
ditional reward. while the negligent
should be deprived OF what little they
had.
The Occasion of the Lesson.
The disciples had seen that a crisis
was impending and. in spite OF his
rcpeatcd warnings to them Of the
dark character of that crisis, they
stul believed that Christ was on the
point Of announcing himself as the
Messiah and that the long expected
oycrturring Of the nations was at
hand. knowing as they did Of the
,Iotting Of the religious leaders
against the Master and their endeav-
ors to involve Him in difficulties with
the civil authorities. they could con-
rcfyc OF no other reason why he
should walk deliberately into the
tran set for Him in Jerusalem unless

fashion he was about to usher in the
nov earthly kingdom SO long looked
for such are the limitations Of hu-
man understanding that they failed
To- comprehend His teachings Of the
mission Of redemption. but continued
to look for a restitution of the glory
and power Of David and Solomon. To
correct this salfc idea He gave them
"A number of lessons one Of which is
this parable The noblCWans jour

by BEN NEWSOME

an account OF the trusts reposed in
them when He returns. I'm the para
'blc of the pounds We have the same
lesson, except that there was an
equal fidelity to equal trusts, while
with the story of the talents We have
in two persons an equal fidelity to
unequal trusts Both parallels Impress
upon us the lesson that personal re-
sponsibility rests upon us to make the
best possible use of our abilities to
conserve and build up the interests
Of our Lord and King.
Are Given in Trust
TO begin with our abilities. our tai
cnts, our opportunities are not things
We create or produce Of ourselves.
but are the gifts Of God as trust in
our hands for the purpose Of produc-
ing results. We have no right to
claim credit for what we are, as
though talent was "A matter OF per-
sonal production, for all that we are,
all that we have. is measure OF
our responsibility TO the God who
gives us the power to be, to do, to
possess, and to Increase. 1t is left
TO either make use of these gifts, to
grow in knowledge in power, and In
usefulness; or to wrap our talents
up in napkin and allow them to
shrivel up and die for lack of use. 1t
is recognized anatomical fact that
our physical organs grow stronger
and healthier as we use them
more, every task conquered
leading on TO greater abil-
ity for the next effort; and it is
equally true that every lack of effort
to use our physical powers makes US
grow weaker and less able to conquer
future tasks Every physical organ
grows stronger with reasonable use
and weaker with disusc II Is
even claimed by scientists
that we are actually losing some Of
our physical powers entirely because
modern methods Of living have done
away with the necessity for such
powers The same rule holds good
In the realm Of Intellectual and spir-
itual things. Every new unit Of
knowledge is a hook with which to
fish for more knowledge Every
mental effort brings us greater abil-
ity for still greater accomplishments.
We grow In grace as we cultivate the
means OF grace at our command. No
man advances in any phase Of en-
deayor who sits down idly and waits
for blessings 10 drop into his lap
but rather such man loses what
ability he may already have.
Variations In Ability.
We are all gifted with the ability
10 carry on the Masters work in the
way he intended we should do. and

TO Hell with the Preachers.


Some people think that preachers
are a parasite on the body politics ana
that the churches are useless fossils
from a superstitious age. Find me "A
place where there are no preachers
and no churches and | will find you
a place whore the doors are off the
hinges. the windows stuffed with old
clothes where women are drudges or
drabs: whore men are coarse ana
blasphemous, whore tobacco juice
from slobbcring lips makes wild
map Of hell on dirty shirt fronts, where
real estate is low and taxes are high.
where life Is insecure and virtue is
cheap; where schools are few and
jails are many, whore license runs
riot and liberty is stamped in the mud.
Some peoples idea of the church
is about as complete as Judge Lind
scys street CANNON who replied
when asked what sort Of place sun
day school was, he had been there one
time, said, ITS place whore de guys
goes and gives up their money and
don't git nothln' back" Asked what
he had learned. said "They talked
about things they calls angels that fly
like chickens, didn't hear whether
they laid eggs or not
The church is both a lighthouse TO
guide the way on life's tempcstous sea
and I life-s saving station to rescue the
perishing. Long may she wave and
never WaVer.
