1t is important that st. Johns coun-
tv should be suitably represented in
anv fair held in this section such as
the East Florida fair planned at the
recent meeting in Palatka. 1t is re-
rrettable that circumstances prevent
ed e the expected large delegation from
st. Augustine being in attendance.
With her million dollar potato crop,
her immense corn crop, her large pea
nut acreage, her sweet potato, rice,
and various truck crops and her vast
cattle and sheep industry st: Johns
county is a close contestant for en-
pire county of Florida. -,
By all means the splendid and un-
limited resources of such a county
should be exploited by a suitable ex-
hibit at the fair if one is held'-S1'

The Grand's Improvements.

Manager Kalbfeld of the Grand
Theater has been infected with the
mania for improvements which has
struck into the lower district of Lem
on street. He has had men at work
during the past two days making an
ornamental entrance to this popular
theater. The wide entrance is to
slope gracefully to the inner door and
the floor will be covered in mosaics.
Besides he has the permission of the
council to erect an awning over the
sidewalk in front of the theater.
Later on, Mr.. Kaibfeld, who has
purchased the property on which his
theater stands, hopes to put up an
opera house that will put to the blush
anything ever attempted in Florida.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys AREN'T
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing 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 be-
come 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 Oft
en- 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 pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in 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, COM
bined 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 irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-
yescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

Moore, put on dust-cap and long apron
and made good her word. But she did
more than clean. From Miss Hard
ings apartment on the ground floor to
Miss Estrilla's on the top, she exam
ined infinitely every garment and
every pair of shoes. When she had
finished, when she stood in her own
room dressing for the street, she
looked very serious. Before she put
away her house-dress, she took from
its pocket the red shoe button. She
inspected 1t again, and locked 1t away
in the deepest compartment of her
jewel case.
Resale walked briskly to book
store in the heart of the foreign dis
trict, held short consultation with the
clerk, journeyed another block, and
stood at length before sign lettered
in many tongues. She hesitated and
began talking to herself
You can't teach an old dog new
tricks" she remarked.
But sometimes you can brush up
the old tricks he used to know" she
added. It'll take time-well, any
way, I'm here!" and she entered.
When she emerged, It lacked but
half an hour for lunch time. At the
table, she made subtle inquiry about
the plans of her boarders for the day.
Mr. North, already busy with his
agency, had not come home to lunch
at all. Betsy-Barbara had an engage
ment to help him select furniture. Con-
stance must spend the afternoon with
her lawyers. Professor Noll intended
to read paper at the Health Food
conference Miss Harding and Miss
Jones never came home between
breakfast and dinner time.
"Now's my chance--while the house
is empty an my nerves good" she
said to herself as the boarders depart
ed.
Forthwith, Rosalie moved a major
niece. She mounted the stairs toward
Miss Estrilla's room. She was behav'
ing strangely. Her eyes looked far
away. Her manner seemed remote to
the things of this world. AS she
knocked and entered, she passed her
hand over her eyes, gave a little con
vulsive jerk, dropped her hand to hel
side, and shook herself.

cushions in half-light. She seemed tc

Resale sat upright as with grea'

clasped and unclasped.

said In half-whisper. She drank;
she wet her fingers and dabbed hel
temples.
Are you i'll? Shall send for some
