QUIT MEAT If KIDNEYS

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel It rom
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with duh
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache'
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
Is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full Of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irrltateds
obliging you to seek relief TWO or
three times during the night.
TO neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush OIL
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful In a
glass of water before breakfast for a
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 flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so 1t no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

Mrs. Wrandall, her manner so peculiar

Sara laid her hands on the girls

The next day but one. in the huge
old-fashioned mansion Of the Wran-
dalls in lower Fifth avenue, in the
drawing-room directly beneath the
chamber in which Challis was born,
the impressive but grimly conventional
funeral services were held.
Contrasting sharply with the SOM
Der, absolutely correct atmosphere Of
the gloomy interior was the exterior
display Of joyous curiosity that must
have Jared severely on the high-bred
sensibilities Of the chief mourners, not
to speak of the invited guests who
had been obliged to pass between rows
Of gaping bystanders in order to reach
the portals Of the house Of grief, and
who must have reckoned with extreme
distaste the cost of subsequent de-
partdre. A dozen raucous-voiced po.
icemen were employed to keep back
the hundreds that thronged the side
walk and blocked the street. Curiosity
was rampant. Ever since the moment
that the body Of Challis Wrandall was
carried into the house of his father, g
motley, varying crowd Of people shift
ed restlessly in front of the mansion,
filed with gruesome interest in the ab-

Laxative and Then Watch
Their Food.
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet Of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give it indigestion, and
urge it to take more Of what is quick
ly digested.
II the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow
els. By this Is not meant physic or
purgatiye, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply small dose of the
gentlest Of medicines, such as Dr.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, which, in the
opinion Of thousands Of watchfri moth
ers, is tie ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness.
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member Of the family may need it,
and all can use It. Thousands endorse
it, among them Mrs. NJ. e. Patten,

she cried vehemently. Il have a right
to defend myself"
'I am not asking you to defend your

Then, as if afraid to remain longer,
she rushed from the room. In the
doorway, she turned for an instant to
say: "Do as I told you. Telephone.
Dress as quickly as you can" She
closed the door swiftly.
Standing in the center of the room,
her hands clenched until the nails cut
the flesh, she said over and over again
to herself: Il don't want to know! /

a few minutes later she was critical

came from the bedroom attire6 in a

than when she had seen her last, was
in no way abashed. She seemed to
have accepted the garments and the,
situation in the same spirit of resigna-
ton and hope; as if she had decided
to make the most Of her slim chance
to profit by these amazing circum-
stances.
They sat opposite each other at the
little breakfast table.
