JOHN LEGG'S PLAIN TALK.
Made In an Advertisement He Put In
the Paper In 1887.

Advertising in the Sun three-quarters
OF a century ago was worded more pic
turesquely than it is now in some re-
spects. No big type was used. but the
advertisements hit the mark without
its aid. 1t is to be doubted IL some of
the advertisements which appeared
then could get into print now. for they
were outspoken to degree which
would offend modern susceptibillties.
For example, here is an advertisement
which appeared in the Sun of May 26
1897:
The subscriber gives the highest city
wages for good work and begs those
WORTHLESS who would filch him OF his stuffs
not to visit him. II would be an agree
able surprise to him n John Kemp Thorn

broadest sense public utility; that upon them
rested public obligation to give the best posi-

East Africa,s Bio Game.

Big game of British East Africa, out
side Of the three preserves of the col
ony, is rapidly vanishing and accord
ing to W. T. Hornaday, sis absolutely
certain to disappear in about one
fourth the time that it took South AT
RIGA to accomplish the same result"
Mr.. Hornaday points out that the pres
ent legal bag limit is ruinously extrav-
agant. For $3.50 any man may buy the
right to kill 300 head of hoofed and
horned animals of forty-four species.
not counting carnivorous animals that
may also be killed. Thus the richest
big game fauna of any one spot in the
world which nature has been several
million years in developing and placing
there, seems likely to be wiped out by
man within the next fifteen years.

If KIDNEYS And
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Neutralize Irritating
Acids.

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder.
where il often remains to irritate and
infiame. causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread. the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse;- again. there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one OF the most simple ailments 10
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so II
no longer is source of irritation to
the bladder and urinary organs. which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with Iithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for the kidneys and causes
no had effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink. which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-(Adv.)

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
The Old Time Custom of "Piowins as
the Horses TAIL"


Animals seem to have no idea of ex-
ercising to keep warm. They just turn
their backs to the wind and crouch,
but perhaps IL one had only limited
amount of fuel it would be better just
to keep spark alive till the snap was
over than to burn it all out in a few
hours.
The first legislation against cruelty to
animals is said to have been an enact
ment passed in the days of Queen
Elizabeth prohibiting ''plowing at the
horses TAIL" as then practiced in fire.
land
This custom consisted in flashing the
pillow beam to the horses tail with q
bit of rope and then, while one man
held the pillow, another walked back
ward before the animal. guiding it with
blows of a stick. 1t seems as though
this plan must have cooked the plow
so high into the air that the point
would take no hold on the soil. 1t
seems also as IL only the most spirit
less of equines would have submitted
to the trea aent, but that it was fire.
quently done the act against it proves.
The cruelty of the practice needs no
demonstrate ton; il could not have been
profitable, but was perhaps preferable
to starvation. Whether the English leg
islators We're moved solely by pity of
the miserable beast or whether they
desired to make a market for English
plows and harness does not appear
