IF BACKACHY Or
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat also take glass of
Salts before eating
breakfast

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache. and feel like Jumps of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated. and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces Of Jad Salts; take tablespoon
full in glass of water before break
fast 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
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity also to neutralize the
acids in urine, so it no longer is a
source of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while 1t Is only trouble

Tales of the days of yore when the
first telephone exchange was estab-
lished in Harrisburg were the high
lights in lecture given last night by
Shirley B. Watts, local manager of the
Bell Telephone Company. Mr.. Watts
lecture was on "The Growth of a
Great Modern Utility" and several
hundred persons heard it in the audi
torium of the Technical high school.
During the evening pictures were
thrown on screen showing Francis
H. Hoy .Jr., and Robert Hoy, both
well known in this city, whom Mr..
Watts introduced as the first ''tele-
phone girls who ever took calls at the
Harrisburg exchange board. In those
old days, -boys in knickerbockers were
employed as operators. said Mr.. Watts,
but they were supplanted by girls be-
cause the boys were the worst trouble
that ever happened. They yelled at
the top of their voices; squabbled with
the public and with each other; whit
tied the switch board and played
tricks with the wires and advised folk
who grew tired waiting to keep your
shirt on They were impossible and
by universal consent they were abol-
ished"

Pickets On the Job
This fact did not stop the pickets

Gentleman or churI?

Be gentleman, young man, for 1t
will pay you a golden rate of interest.
You will never get anywhere by re-
turning surly answers. You might be
surprised to know that II you should
meet the president Of a railroad and
ask him civil question that you
would get most courteous reply.
Walk into the biggest concern in any
city and ask for the manager. He will
meet you with smile and return the
blandest answer to your query. It Is
the ignorant cub in the country depot
or the window washer in big Office
who hand back the discourteous an
swers. That's why they always re-
main cubs and window washers. The
fellows who reach the presidency Of
railroads and the management OF large
concerns do so because they are gen.
tlemen and always return the soft re
ply. It costs nothing to be a gentle
man and besides you will find that
such a route leads down beside still
waters and up through green valleys.

Napoleon's Day of Gloom.

One hundred years ago the Empress
Maria Louisa and her son, the king
of Rome, fed from Paris to Blois. The
fight was contrary to their own wishes
and the ad7ice Of the council Of state,
but was deemed necessary in compli
ance with Napoleon's expressed COM
mand that under no circumstances
were his wife and daughter to be al
lowed to fall into the hands Of the
enemy. The carriages were not called
until it was found that the armies Of
the allies were almost at the gates of
Paris. Even then the young king OF
Rome refused to get into the carriage,
clinging to the curtains Of the pal
ace which he was about to leave for
ever. The long train Of imperial car
riages was escorted from the city by
300 soldiers Of Napoleon's old guard,
whose hearts were filed with genuine
sorrow.

Irish Boy, in Sore Predicament, Re-

Country's Wit.

Francis J. Kilkenny, Chicagoan,
and one Of the organizers of the Irish
home-going movement, tells an anus
ing story about his early struggles in
America. He was a green boy, with
the native peat still clinging to his
shoes, but he was not afraid of work
and was determined to get on in
the new country.
Accordingly he bought lawn now
er and made a house-to-house canvass
Of the neighborhood, with the object
of finding lawns to NOW. At one place
where he had applied for work an url-
friendly dog, bristling like porcu-
pine, leaped out at h:m with hostile
intent.
The boy fed but found escape
barred by a high board fence, with
a formidable row Of nails along its
top. Holly pursued by the growing
canine, he made a leap fer the fence,
but half the way over caught his pants
on one o. the spikes and hung there
helpless.
The lady Of the house, appearing
to call off the dog, couldn't repress
a laugh at the sorry spectacle the
little fellow made.
"Nhy, hello!" she exclaimed, when
did you get over"
"Begorry, madam" replied the i'm

Battle your face for several minutes

apply a little Resinol Ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with Resinol Soap and
more hot water, finishing with a dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice a day, and you will
