The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble. because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kid neys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish: the eiiminative tissues clog and the rs- suit is kidney trouble, bladder weak ness and a general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells. acid stomach. or you have Rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take table, spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation. thus ending bladder disorders.

saved. Threads drawn from old nap- kins are fine for linen mending.
 In spring and autumn when the linen is examined for the season there will be found doilies and centre pieces with lace and hemstiching ragged and pulled away, and the em- broidery, if colored, faded and shabby To prolong their usefulness cut the centers out and hem neatly, whipping on a narrow Irish lace edge. They can be then used for the breakfast tray, under luncheon dishes, and in number of ways, thus helping to save the new ones pur- chased to take their place.
 Old crash towels can be pressed into service for floor polishing rags. One can also cut the ragged ends of worn toilet towels and re-hem them into little individual towels for every day use.
 Old linen pillow slips should be carefully washed and put into the linen bag for use in case of illness, as old linen is invaluable and always scarce. Cotton slips are usually just rags, good for window cleaning. With only one side worn the o~.ler is good enough to make into. a baby pillow case where the wear comes in another place.
 Repairing Sheets.
 Sheets usually wear in the middle, and if they are not allowed to go too far, may, when double width, be cut into single sheets and neatly hemmed; they will last some time. A patched sheet is hardly permissible in these days of cheap and plentiful supply.
 Sometimes lace-edged slips may be repaired by setting under them strip of blond net and darning the lace into it. This makes the lace a little heavier, but does not look badly.

< Many women feel as Margaret Daw'' evidently did,rwhen she voiced her oldtime jingle about the homely task of household mending, but the fact remains that some one has to do it.
 One mother has hit upon an ex- cellent plan to kill two birds with one stone. She happened upon it in . wholly accidental manner after try ing many schemes, such as sending the work out to be done, having woman come in and do it, but all these methods had their drawbacks and much work was wasted upon arr ticles not worth while, but which once done had to be paid for. And she finally came to the conclusion that as she was the only one who knew what to weed out and throw away she had better do it herself
 Reading Accompanies Mending
 The mender came to the conclu- sion that on her mending day she would be entertained as long as her homely task lasted, so she engaged a young woman reader by the hour and soon the mending day became the happiest in the week. She gained knowledge on all subjects she had had no time to keep up with. her list covering some prominent plays, short and long, which she wished to read before going to see, during the following season.
 So why not have other mothers adopt the plan and let one of the daughters who does not like to darn do the reading? The daughter owes that much help: to her mother and she will at the same time add to her own storehouse of knowledge.
 Table linen is an item in the house. hold mending that it decidedly pays to keep in good order. When table cloths wear around the edge of the table, cut the eighteen inch fall off and hem the cloth for luncheon square. Cut the fall into service nap- lins for baked potatoes, boiled corn, fritters or anything that has to be served to keep hot that way, and in this way the better napkins are
