QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take q glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
il troubling you

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then We get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding. stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in n glass of water before
breakfast and in few days 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 flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
lithla-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

MIR. FoRD'S FOOLS ERRAND"

The error of Mr.. Ford and his fol-
lowers lies first in the assumption
that they are the sole custodians of
peace: that those who are disinelin-
ed to follow them arc opposed to
peace. The President stated to Mrs.
SnowGcn that il was not necessary
to argue with him the peace ques-
ton; that he was anxious to do
everything in his power TO promote
universal peace.
Yet these aimable ladies and gem
tlemen 90 about the country and
about the world preaching a crusade,
in an effort to convert a perverse and
an obstinate generation to a belief
in the benefits of peace propositions,
The second error is in the assump-
ton that this is the time for peace.
Nothing could be more serious than
a premature peace; nothing more
disastrous than a peace forced upon
the warning nations by outside in

Do we not often hold too tight q
rein on ourselves and our families
for comfort? Habit has made US
"bossy" and domineering. When q
member of the family goes, we want
to know where he is going and how
long he intends to be gone; we keep
a string on him and are ready to drag
him home that we may feel that all
are sheltered and under our watchful
eyes.
This is selfish care. It fences the
individual in. 1t hampers him and
makes his field of pleasure and activ-
ity cramped and rasping.
When one knows that another is
trustworthy. why hold so tight a rein ?
Some of us have got into the habit OF

the same explanation to Miss Rose
Newman, who would miss him. The
favor he asked of the prison authori-
ties was that they would allow him to
retain his pad of reporting paper and
pencils.
This was granted, and Burr tried
really to believe that he was serving

And there by the chimney. with arms full
Of toys,
Stood Santa Claus watching the girls and
the boys.
They spied him-they rushed with volley

They pulled off the wig that curled white

They poked at his eyes, gave his whiskers

And laughed at the shape of his chubby.

With Christmas cheer the hall is bright,
At friendly feud with winters cold;
There's many a merry game tonight
For maids and men, and young and old
And winter sends for their delight
The holly with its crimson glow.
And paler than the glistening snow

The wan and wanton mistletoe!
Chance conner to our festal ewes,
Dear crimson breasted holly sprte!
Thee, Robin, too, the hall receives,
Unbidden, whom our hearts invite.
And perched among the GRUMPY leaves,
He cocks his head and sings "Hullo!"
The mstletoe, the mistletoe
Hangs up above, but what's below?
Oh, what's below the mistletoe?
The mistletoe, the mistletoe
\ kindly custom sanctions bliss
That's ta'en beneath the wanton bough.
Who laughs so low? Why, here it is!
Look, Jenny, where l have you now!
Dear bashful eyes, sweet lips-a kiss!
All, cheeks can mock the hollys glow
For what's below the mistletoe?

He was supremacy happy be-
cause he had something TO give

ing 10 the altar of the church, he
placed the precious apple on the
marble hands of the Babe in
Mary's arms.
Instantly the tiny fingers closed
over ii and smile of heavenly
joy swept over the chubby face.
This happened long, long ago,
but the people in the vicinity still
give 10 Christ through his poor

by the Christ Child himself, and
rewarded by the same blessed
smile which brought JOY and
comfort TO the little clockmaker.
