five miles on their way they discov-
cred that their only canteen had
sprung a leak and that there was very
little water left. They drank this and
then fastened their pace. 1t was a
race against death.
Very soon their tongues swelled up
from lack of water and their faces
turned purple. It was intensely hot,
with nc shelter of any kind. Several

AS they were staggering along,
dazed and half-blinded, the building
which houses a pool in the desert was
discovered on the horizon. Their
strength was almost spent, but they
reached the spring, crawling the last
few rods on their hands and knees.
They were too inexperienced to drink
sparingly, and over-indulgence almost
completed the work which privation
began. They were very sick for sew
eral hours. They finally managed to
reach a little town on the edge of the
desert and there spent the night.

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY-B ACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
II Bladder Bothers You.

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 the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal actiV-
fey. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, SO we can readily understand
the vital Importance Of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
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 clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine SO It no
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful e~ffervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

CHILDREN IN THE sICKRooM
Writer Is Of Opinion They Should Be
Kept From Visiting Their At
fiicted Playmates.

Children can do their little play
mates no conceivable good by visiting
or staying near them when they are
sick, and they run serious risk both Of
contracting the disease themselves
and of spreading it to others of their
playmates, is the assertion of a writer
In Good Housekeeping Magazine. In
view of this / think we should really
hesitate about teaching this visiting
the sick and afflicted" form of altru-
ism to children before they are of an
age to be able to make any practical
application Of it without involving
themselves and the community in Sc
rious danger out of all proportion to
any possible compromising return. We
would not dream Of teaching a child
of seven that he should rush into a
burning building to empty the con-
tents of his toy bucket upon the
flames. Infinitely his most useful
service is to spread the alarm, to
shout at the top of his voice to the
nearest grownup that he can md, to
run and tell the policeman, or carry
the word to the nearest fire station or
hrebox. So 1t should be with those
deadliest CONGREGATIONS which take
toll Of humanity-fever and pestilence.

UNARMED BOYS MEET LION
Beast Enjoys Period Of "WatchfuI
Waiting" While They
TrembIe.

Boulder, Colo.-Richard Henderson
and Dudley Rust, two University of
Colorado students, returned to Boulder
from a two weeks outing in the vicin,
ity of Silver lake, with a story Of a
mountain lion whose acquaintance
they made.
The young men were unarmed.
While walking along a trail, carrying
only their fishing rods, they were
startled to meet the beast face to face.
Lion and youths were taken by sur.
prise. The beast showed no fright,
and, according to Henderson and Rust.
showed keen interest in them.
The animal was full grown. They
were afraid to run, for fear the lion
would attack them.
Their shouts failed to brighten the
beast, and a period of "watchful wait,
ing" followed. Finally the animal ap-
peared satisfied with his scrutiny of
the young men, and to their great re,
lief bounded into the bushes and dis.

A conference of Bible students held
recently at Keswick, N. J., revived an
ancient prophecy concerning Egypt,
the literal fulfllment of which, they
asserted, has been borne out in his.
tory. The prophecy is found in Eze-
kiel 29:13-15 and 30:13. Part OF
it reads as follows: 1T shall be
the basest of kingdoms, neither shall
it exalt itself any more above the
nations, for l shall diminish them that
they shall no more rule over the ma
tons $50. and there shall be nc
a prince of the land of Egypt;
and l will put a fear in the land Of
Egypt" Since this prophecy was

Egypt has been ruled by the Babylo

LOGIC AS HE UNDERSTOOD 1T
Reasons Why He Should Not
Attend School.

AS young Arthur was now six, his
parents decided that it was time he
went to school. Arthur had other
views on the subject, and these views
we're in direct opposition to those held
by the older people.
In short, Arthur refused pointblank
to go within a mile and a half of any
school.
Father threatened dire punishment;
mother held out a dreary prospect OF
jamless meals, wen grandmother-the
most kindly of mortals and a great
friend Of Arthur's-even she deserted
him and talked about discontinuins
the weekly bag of sweets. This vas a
great blow to the young rebel, but he
stuck to his guns.
At last grandmother decided to
make n last effort to soften his
heart.
Now, Arthur dear, why can't you
be a nice, sensible boy and go to
school like the other children?" she
asked.
"I1l tell you why, grandma" he re-
torted, Indignantly. q" can't read an
I can't write; I can't draw an I can't
sing! So what's the good of me going

Heroic Savers of Life.

If one could behold the scope of the
work of the l~ife-savers in a single
glance he could see that these 1000
men meet at a thousand stations on
dark and lonely shores and exchange
brass checks and bring these brass
checks with them on their return to
their life stations as evidence that
they had patrolled the coast. Never
has one of these faithful servants
failed to come back promptly with the
check of the patrol, unless he was
halted by a case of distress, and even
then his fellow patrol comes on to
meet him. Scores of men give their
lives to the devouring sea to save life
and millions Of property. There are
o 290 stations on the sea and lake
coasts of the United States. There are
men in the service that have saved
as many as 800 lives and literally ev-
cry man in the service has been an
actor in one or more of it's 10000 hero
stories. In 1912 rescue service was
rendered to 1,671 vessels, carrying g..
800 passengers, the total value of these
vessels and their cargoes being SILL
900, 000, 900.
