SALTS CANNOT
HARM KIDNEYS
Says Baokache is sign you have
been eating too much
meat.

When your Kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load Your stomach with a
lot Of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate tho entire urinary
tract. Keep your kidneys clean like
you keep your bowels clean, by
flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urin-
Gus waste and stimulates them so
their normal activity. The function
of the kidneys is to filter the blood.
In "a hours they strain from it 500
grains Of ocid and waste, so we can
readily understand the vital impor-
tance OF keeping the kidneys active.
DrinE lots OF water yoa can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces u;
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast each
morning for a few days and your
Kidneys Will act Tine. This famous
salts Is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used Cor
generations to clean and stimulate
cloggeJ kidneys; also to neutralj2c
the acids in urine so it no longer is
u source of irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injare; makes a delightful effervo-
scent tithia-water drink which ev-
cry ole should take now and then
to keep their kidneys clean and ac-
tive. Thy this, also keep up the
water drinking, and no doubt you
will wonder what became of your.
kidney trouble and backache.

KNOWLES NAKED AND UNARMED9TO WREST
-. LIVING FROM THE WILDERNESS =

Grants Pass, Ore., July 26.-Joe
Knowles, "man-animal," has gone
naked into the wilds of the Siskiyou
mountains, without arms, foods,
matches only his bare hands
and his wits and knowledge of wood
craft to keep him from starvation or
death from wild animals. Thirty
days from now, he says he will
emerge fully clad in clothes he made
from skins of animals trapped or
from the fiber of plants and trees.
In the beginning he will live on
nuts, berries and roots-win build a
hut and try to snare few wild ami
male. He will sleep on bed of moss
and his only covering will be the
heavens. .
He will build fire by rubbing dry
sticks together and using dried bark
as tinder to fan the sparks into
flame. He will catch fish by turning
a stream into hollow of his own
making and when fish have followed
into it he will turn the stream back
again into it's course.
He may dine on venison, wild hog,
nuts, berries, bear steak and all man
ner of wild game if he can get them.
And there's the big rub. If he
can't get them he may die. If he
loses his way he may die because the
country of Siskiyous is unchartered

It's this that Knowles hopes to

travesty on thesVaunted learning and

still king of the wilds as he was CEN

He hopes to show that while man
today may be weaker physically, that
he hasn't outgrown the instinct that
prevailed centuries ago when might
was right and the weak died.

Joe Knowles will find a vast guam

PURE BRED HOGS.
Offer Great Opportunity to
Farmers of Kentucky.

The Frankfort State Journal in COM
menting on Mckee Bros.'s splendid hog
sale, calls attention to facts which it
would profit Madison county farmers to
ponder on. The Journal says:
:"The average of $l075 so each for hogs
sold at Mckee Bros. sale in Woodford
county calls attention to the high prices
which pedigreed Duroc Jerseys bring.
The Agricultural Department is trying
to show Kentucky farmers that there r.
little or no profit in raising razor backs
and feeding them corn straight, but
plenty of profit in raising pedigreed, or
at least pure blooded hogs and feeding
them balanced ration.
''There are not great many good
breeding plants producing hogs of the
right blood for Kentucky farms. 1t is
always more satisfactory to buy at home
and when you have examined the ami
mails than to buy them sight unseen.
II is expensive to travel far to buy good
stock. There is room in Kentucky for
more breeding plants for blooded ami
mails than are in existence. They should

Billions Earned Yearly by The
Hens of the u. s.

Professional farmers are not the only
ones who share in the gains from keep
ing chickens"
Over $500, 900, 600 is very tidy sum
for the nimble hen to add to the income
of the people of the United States, yet
il is a fact that this huge figure is at
tanned by the revenue from eggs and
poultry sold in this country in a single
year. 1t means more than 10000, 600
100000 dozen-enough to give every
man, woman and child more than 13
dozen eggs each year.
1t is a profitable business, not only for
the farmers, but also for city folks with
little spare land in which to carry it
on. Many family is keeping the table
supplied with fresh eggs-strictly fresh,
and no doubt about it-and with tooth
some chicken all the year round.
There is no need to go away from
home to begin egg raising Many a sue
cessful chicken grower has begun on a
small plot in the rear OF his home. A
quarter of an acre gives ample room to
go about it in systematic way, or even
less ground can be started on.
A Philadelphia man and his wife re-
Gently got an acre of ground on the edge
of town, began experimenting with
chickens and vegetables and before long
were clearing over 800 year, and the
man was doing his regular work all the
time in the city.
The greatest egg raiser in the United
States is said TO be John M. Foster and
his farm is called the million Egg
Farm" because he produces that num-
Der of eggs per year. Foster was young
city man. He was dissatisfied with his
life; wanted to get out of doors more, so
got small farm near town. He LEARN
ed everything he could about the bust
ness and now in year he clears close to
$40, 600 from his farm. Not many peo-
pie want to go into it so extensively, but
Fosters experience shows what city peo-
pie can do.
Any city worker who wants to get in
to the business and who hasn't the
ground needed, can usually pick up a
piece of land on the outskirts of the city,
where values are low, and get it at such
price that the revenue from the poul-
Try will pay for the land in short time
More and more families are taking ad
vantage of them every year and embark
ing in the healthful, profitable business
of poultry raising and vegetable farming
on small scale.

The Man Who Made "Cabiria"
to Be in Lexington
This Week.

THE world" it is said, knows moth
ingly to note how infrequently the men
who really DO things-the actual workers
court publicity. The motion tableaux
of D'Annunzio which is being presented
at the Ben Ali Theatre in Lexington,
commencing Monday, August 81, sup
plies case in point.
Literally, this production is the talk
of the world A tribute to, and man.
Hesitation of Italian genius, the actual
worker, or director, of the colossal spec
tacle. does not figure by name in
the program, and SO far, has escaped
mention in the papers.
1t is Pastrone.
Pastrone is the constructive partner Of
the ITALIA Company. He it is, who for
ten years has been quietly making Itala
pictures until his labors eliminated in
the mastery ''Cabiria."
Taking in hand D'Annunzio's story,
Pastrone staged the spectacle as proba-
bly, no other man in existence could have
done.
"There is only one director in the
world, said Carlo Sciamengo, Pastrone's
business partner. He meant Pastrone
of course. And The great spectacle
"Cabiria" attests Sciamengo's handsome
tribute to his associate. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that motion picture max
ers in all parts of the world, regard Pas
trone as their chief. What his salary is
in United States money would be hard
to conjecture.
Pastrone is one of the men who does
not court publicity; on the contrary, he
depreciates it. Still, the desire of the
world to know something of the people
who serve it, is reasonable one. And
everybody just now is saying: ''Cabiria"
is a wonderful production-who made
it?" The answer is, Pastrone, the un-
known craftsman of Torino. He is sus-
pected of design to go one better than
''Cabiria."

Internal Revenue Tax LARGELY
Increased.
(w. p. WALTON. }

The preliminary report of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue shows
that the receipts for the fiscal year 1914
were the largest in the history of the
country, due to the income and corpo-
ration tax. The total is $3.50, 00S, S94
The tax from incomes and corporations
was $71, 38l ,275, of which amount Ken
lucky contributed 1894, 200 90. IN addi-
tion to this she paid S35. 900, 600 in inter
nal revenue, being the fourth largest in
State contributions. The Seventh dis.
trict paid 1880, ,S94 20, being next to
the Louisville district the largest amount
paid in the State. There was falling
off of 81, 7sl, 165 in taxes on distilled
spirits, which seems TO contradict the
statement that the consumption of liq-
uor is increasing Notwithstanding the in
crease of prohibition territory, unless
the previous supply was largely drawn
ON. The faci that liquors paid some
sl3n, 600, 900 of taxes indicates, however,
that a considerable amount was i'm
bibed.
