DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, Use SALTS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in d glass of water
before breakfast each morning for few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, comb ned
with lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a source of irri-
tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache.

WISCONSIN IN THE LlMELiGHT

Wisconsin has certainly come into
her own as far as the esteem of the
public is concerned. Considering the
difficulty encountered heretofore in
inducing people to come to the cheap
lands of the upper counties, it is a
novelty to be told by the land own
ers that last month they endeavored
to hold back buyers until the roads
were in better conditions. Last year
was a good one, but 1914 promises
to be the record year in the settle
ment of the upper counties.
Another feature of the situation is
in the reports that come to the Wis
consin Advancement association from
it's members to the effect that the
people coming to upper Wisconsin at
this time have several times as much
means as those who have come in
the past. This report is universal all
over the state. 1t means that the
northern portion of the state will
be improved much more rapidly than
in the past and that millions will be
added to the wealth of the common.
wealth.

LADYsMlTH's REPLY
Ladysmith Accepts the Eviden nee and
Many Ladysmith Readers Will
Profit by 1t

Which is the more weighty proof
a few words from Ladysmith resi-
dent, whom we know and respect, or
volumes from strangers in distant
towns? There can be only one reply.
L. J. Winters, retired carpenter,
7O6 E. Fritz Ave, Ladysmith, Wis,
says: Several years ago I was in
bad shape from kidney complaint and
had no idea what brought it on, but
do know that I kept getting worse
and worse My back ached and the
misery was just as bad when l lay
down as when I was up moving
around. Mornings I was so stiff and
lame when l first got up that it was
hard for me to bend over to get my
shoes on. / first thought I had rheu-
matism, but when my back kept on
aching and my kidneys began to act
bad, l knew that my kidneys were
causing the suffering. I had to pass
the kidney secretions every title
while and at night l had to get up
several times. The secretions were
stringy and unnatural. The doctor
said my kidneys were badly dlsor-
dered, but his medicine did me mo
good. Doans Kidney Pills cured me
and I haven't had any kidney trouble
since. A statement, telling about my
oynarionca has heen DubliShd in the
local papers before and it still holds
good"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Cost Of Raising Wheat in Sas
katcheWan

American wheat growers and far
mers will be interested in a report
of a commission appointed by the
government of Saskatchewan ito ex-
anime into the ways and means for
lettering the position of Saskatche-
wan grain in the European markets"
Incident to this investigation the
commission looked into the cost of
producing wheat under present con-
diticns in that Province of Canada.
The wheat producers of various sec
tions of the United States will be
Interested to know that under pres
ent conditions the cost of producing
wheat as determined by the COM
mission is reported to be IS cents
per bushel on the farm and 62 cents
per bushel f. o. b. cars at country
points. According to the report, the
cost of production has increased u.
Is per cent since 1909, while, on the
other hand, the price of wheat to the
Saskatchewan farmer has decreased
from 81 is cents per bushel in 1909
to 66 1-8 cents per bushel in 1913,
leaving a net return, on this basis,
of A 1-S cents per bushel to the far
mer.
1t is possible that the interesting
figures which have been developed
by the grain commission will account
for the fact that large number of
American farmers who have in re-
cent years, left the States to engage
in farming in this territory are now
asking for certificate which per-
