SALTS If BACKACHY

Stop Eating Meat for a While 10
Your Bladder Is Troubling

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region

acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort Of paralyzed and

Either consult good, reliable ply

take tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.

Money Not Standard.
while this is the land Of possibil-
ity for accommodating fortune yet
some way in America we don't have
that for a standard Of greatness.
When the hall of fame was built and
the committee called on the people OF
this nation to nominate men and WON
en- who deserved place in this great
hall, when the lists were read and
sifted down, when the names of Sc
having the greatest number of votes
were made public, there was Washing
ton, Lincoln, Grant. Frances Willard,
Henry Ward Beecher and that long
list of great Americans and there
wasn't money getter among them.
One great reason that America Is a
land of possibilities is that 1T is a land
OF hope. Hope consists of expectation
and desire. Desire without expecta-
ton brings despair, expectation and
no desire gives fear, but this is the
land Of hope"
Totem In Magic.

course, my deceit is magic. In all de-
partments Of life we have deceit, IN
war it is strategy, in business it is
policy, in politics it is Diplomacy, In
society it is tact, but my friends, it's
all the same thing" He did all the
