Artists 25,OOo Years AGO

Man began to be an artist subse-
quent to the last ice age, which period
is roughly estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 years ago. said Prof. George
Grant McCurdy at the University
Museum lecture the other afternoon.
AT least that is the time the funda-
mentals first appear, Therefore, man
was an artist before he was a maker
of hieroglyphics. He produced objects
of beauty before he tanned the wild
beasts.
The cave artist was practically
without an artistic background, but eli
matte, faunal and other environment
played no important part in the orr
gin of troglodite art. The models were
game animals, and ran largely to pro-
files, for the cave artist had not
learned perspective, but he understood
motion. He made single figures, but
was long in acquiring composition

cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,

ment into the parting with bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings

the hair. 1t Is we'll to place q light
covering over the hair to protect the

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS
THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid.
neys II Bladder Bothers YOU
Drink Lots of Water.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick Nearly all rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in few days
your kidneys will act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
Kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding seEous Kidney
