BIG EATERS HAVE BAD
KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE
Take a Glass Of Salts at Once If Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and
Bladder Trouble You.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food Is rich. Our blood Is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health. r
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full Of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounce Of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys 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 clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer is a source Of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful ef~fervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.-Adv.

A PORTABLE WRITING DESK.

A PORTABLE WRITING DESK.
Every boy needs a writing desk.
and the plans below show an entirely
new idea for a desk. 1t has no legs,
but is made to Eta1d upon a table.
The front drops down to write upon,
just like a drop-leaf of any desk.
When the front is closed and hooked,
the desk is in a compact form, and 1t
may be lifted from the table by
means of the handle attached to the
top and stood in some out Of the way
corner until wanted for use again.
A grocery box, together with its
cover or some additional box boards,
is needed for working material. The
box shown in the illustrations Is n
In which cans Of preserved fruit had
been packed, and it measures FL
inches long, 1872 inches wide and TN
inches deep. Very likely you can get
a box of approximately the same d.
mansions by going to your grocer.
Pick out as perfect a box as you can
find. The fewer cracks, knots and
joints that there are in the boards,
the less outlying you will have to do
when finishing.
After renailing any boards that
may be loose, cut the board A of a
length equal to the inside length Of
the box, and of a width equal to the
inside depth of the box Gig. ~, and

and at the head and foot and sides
the fire was applied. A Brahman d.
rected the rites and once, as the
flames mounted and aspired, the
brother, who was watching, clutched
at his heart as there appeared for a
moment at the top Of the pyre a
girls face, with closed eyes and
mouth that seemed to smile; then the
radiant veil of flame shrouded 1t
again. The smoke ros in gray
whorls and streamers against the
stainless and tender blue of the sky,
and still the brother watched, quiet
again and composed; he had given
only that one sign to show that hr
loved her whose ashes now lay among
the charred and %smoldering logs. Or
rather it was only for the moment
that, thinking Of days Of childhood
and dawns by the riverside, he forgot
that 1t was not she who had been
consumed in the flames Of the pyre.
Then he remembered again, and look
ing up from the pyre to the dazzling
river he saw there on u boat his
friend, the Brahman, and smiled to
him.

been cut down by Mr.. James Hay

one leg Is shown, however, and you
