Eating meat regularly e,entually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overwork-
ed get sluggish; clog up and causs
all sorts of distress, particularly
backache and misery In the kidney
region; rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipa-
ton, torpid liver, sleeplsssness, hlad-

The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or If
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast 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 flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutra ize
the acids in the urine, so it no long

and women take now and then to

TO MAKE FARM
LIFE MORE ATTRACTIVE
Change in Rural Credits System Would
Prove Of Great Advantage
to the Farmer.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3..--To make
farm life more profitable as well as
attractive through sane system of
rural credits and to end the yearly eX-
oduses of farmers boys to the city
is the purpose of the government S
efforts to obtain rural credits legis-
lation at the earliest possible time.
and the goal toward which the nation
al legislature is working was eX-
planned by Representative Robert j.
Buckley, of Ohio, chairman of the
house committee which is investi-
eating the subject. Chairman Bulk
eley offers the following explanation
to the million or more farmers of
the country through the United
Press.
by Robert j. Buckley, Represent
ative from Ohio Written for the
United Pressl
Although prices of agricultural
products have mounted so high that
the public justly complains of the
cost of living, yet the return for
farm labor has not sufficiently in
creased the income to induce tha
Of agriculture which the
country ought to have. Indeed, we
are confronted by the problem of how
to keep the farmers boys on tho
farm, as well as by the problem of
attracting new hands to the farm.
And all this has an important bearing
on the high cost of living. The fu-
ture of our country depends largely
upon developing a large number OF
independent farmers, owning the land
which they work; but unfortunately
there is present tendency toward
tenent farming, as well as a tendency
for farmers boys to leave the farms
for the great cities.
These tendencies must be met by
making farm life more attractive, and
in order that this may be accom-
plished farm labor must be made
more profitable. To increase the
farmers credit facilities and to re-
duce the rate CT interest paid by him
will make farming more profitable,
not only by direct savings in interest
changes, but also indirectly by afford
ing the farmer the means by which
to develop his land in such a manner
as to obtain the best results from 1t.
And if we can make the owner of a
mortaged farm feel more secure of
his position, we shall increase not
oily the care and attention that he
will give the land, but also increase
his measure of satisfaction In his work.
In Europe, the farmers have better
credit facilities and pay lower rates
of interest than our farmers. This
may lie partly due to the more devel-
oped condition of their countries, but
it is, without doubt, largely due to
their cooperative efforts, and to leg
islatlon favoring rural credits.
Generally speaking, loans to farmers
must be for loneer periods than loans
to merchants and manufacturers; and
banks when loaning to farmers must
take into consideration that the farm

National banks, which must keep
their resources over ready for the ac-
tive needs of their depositors, neces-
sar1ly, therefore, feel some embarrass-
ment in lending to farmers, except
within rather conservative limits. 1t
is not easy for the American farmer
to reach the investor who can readily
carry him through the season without
demanding the return of the money
loaned. The farmers of Germany
and other European countries have
their cooperative credit associations,
which meet thi need.
In practically all countries Of Euorpe
there are land mortage associations
and cooperative societies dealing in
short time credits Ordinarily these
organizations are associations of bor-
rowers absolutely controlled by the
borrowers themselves. In this coun-
TRY we have numerous building and
loan associations similar in many re-
spects to the European land mortgage
associations, but the work of these
associations has been rather $, the
cities thin in the rural districts,
though some of them are making loans
on farm lands
Figures now being gathered oy the
department of agriculture show that

iope generally has advanced far ahead

we cannot fail to notice that each
country has developed its own ma
