Strengthening Streams

The ancient Egyptians were noted
for their crops because. as history
states, they ''sowed their seeds IN the
Nile" This does not mean that they
actually cast the seed in the river. At
certain seasons OF the year the Nile
overfows its banks, depositng on either
shore a rich SHIT or earth that is highly
conducive TO bumper crops. and the
wise ancient Egyptians. realizing this,
proited thereby.

LESS MEAT If BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take Glass Of Salts to Flush Kid
neys if Bladder Bothers
You

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form OF
other, says well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic
twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in glass Of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days, and your
kidneys 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine SO it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes
a delightful effervescent lthia water
drink, which millions of men and women
taken now and then to keep the kidneys
and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding
serious kidney disease.--Ady.

Strictly Fine Fresh Butter Rather Scarce

Boston, Nov. l7.--Strictly fine fresh
butter is not very plentiful in the local
market and is steady in price, but other
wise the market is oversupplied and in
buyers favor The cheese market shows
little life, but holders are not inclined
to modify their price ideas, since the
English markets are firm and hope still
runs high OF export sales of considerable
proportions. Strictly fresh eggs are NOV
ing out about as fast as they come in
at well-sustained prices, but there is only
a limited market for ordinary fresh eggs.
Storage stock is not moving as well as
could be wished and slight differences
over prices are not being allowed to stand

said Admiral Lord Fisher, former first
sea lord of the admiralty, in the House
of Commons yesterday afternoon, ito
make personal explanations affecting ma

cisms by Winston Spencer Churchill, who
was the first lord of the admiralty when
the naval attack on the Dardanelles was
made, in a speech in the House of Com
mons Monday. following his retirement
from the cabinet. Mr. Churchill in his
speech complained that he had not re-

nection with the Dardanelles affair, the
clear guidance before the event or the
firm support after it to which he con-
sdered himself entitled.
