HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder trouble--Taka
glass of Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat reg1-
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a 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, sleeplessncss and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a 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 a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with Hthia, 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 a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

MEXICO'S NATIONAL
THEATRE DECAYlNG

Mexico City, Mex, July 13.-The
magnificent National Theatre, which
in it's incomplete form has cost the
Republic six millions of dollars, is
rapidly falling into ruin. The build
ing was partly completed when the
revolutions commenced a few years
ago. Its erection wasbegun ten years
ago, and it was a. government enter
prise instituted by President Porfirio
Diaz, who recently died.
1t is believed that another four mil
lions will be required to complete the
structure as it was originally planned.
In it's present state, it is rapidly de-
caying. and unless something is done
soon to save the structure, it will be
in ruins.
1t was the original purpose of Diaz
to make it the most magnificent place
of amusement in the world. The use
of the peoples money in this costly
building was one of the complaints of
the late Francisco |. Madero, Jr., in
his revolutionary propaganda. He
said that it was intended for the pleas
ure of the wealthy.
The marble which decorates the i'm
terror was brought from Italy. That
section of the interior which is al
ready finished is marvel of construc-
ton an taste, but in the absence OF
care, much of the original beauty has
already been marred by dust and dirt.

THE FALL ARMY
WORM IS COMING
GOVERNMENT WARNS FARMERS
TO BE PREPARED TO MEET
THE PESTS.

Washington, d. c., July 13-The
presence of the fall army worm is
reported in southern and central Tex
as and there is every reason to believe
that it will work its way northward
as the season advances. Farmers in
the line of its march, therefore. are
being warned by specialists in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture to keep a sharp eye upon their
crops, especially alfalfa, corn and the
sorghums in order to prevent the pest
from getting start upon them. When
they first appear the worms are very
small and feed beneath matted grass,
ETC., but they grow rapidly and sud
denly migrate in myriads to the corn
Or sorghum fields. If the ground be-
tween the corn rows is grassy the
worms will probably originate there
and feed there until partly grown be-
ger, therefore, that before the farm
er is aware of their presence he will
find his corn stripped to bare stalks
| and his alfalfa to bare stems.
Where a close examination of a
corn field shows the presence of the
| fall army worm actually attacking the
corn, the Department of Agriculture
| recommends busting the plants with
powdered arsenate of lead, using from
to 5 pounds per acre, mixed with 2
or 3 times its weight of flour. This
precaution is, of course, out of the
| question on forage crops or on corn
afterwards to be used for fodder on
account of the danger of poisoning
pounds of wheat bran may be miXen
with a couple pounds of either Paris
green or powdered arsenate of lead,
preferably the former, and the whole
mass worked into a stiff bought by
the use of or gallons of molasSes
and the juice of a half dozen oranges
or lemons added thereto. If this is
sown broadcast on the ground where
the worms are at work they will feed
upon it and be killed. The worms it
has been found, will come to the pOis-
oned bait from distances of from to
10 inches.
In alfalfa fields the immediate cut
ting of the alfalfa is advisable as soon
las the infestation has been discovered.
This will not save the hay crop but
will cut off the food of the fall army
worm and check thereby the develop
ment of another generation which
may be many times more destructive
than the first. AS soon as the hay
has been removed from the field, the
ground should be rolled with heavy
roller or brush drag, or the poison
bait can be used.
The habit of the moths of descend
ing an inch or two into the ground i'll
order to pass into the pupal state IS
of great importance in their control.
It has been estimated that shallow
cultivation will destroy from 80 to 80
per cent of the insects at this time
the efficiency of the measure depend
ing upon the thouorughness with
which the work is done. In alfalfa
the use of the spiked tooth harrow
or the alfalfa cultivator is best unless
it is known that disking is not in
furious to the plants. Cultivation OF
the ground between the rows of corn
has been found to destroy nearly all
of these pupae, thereby preventing
: the developmnt of another generation
