weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue

you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irrtated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
frcm the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to
neutralize the acids in urine, SO it no

GAMING THE CULPRIT.
The Marks 1t Leaves Look Worse Than
the Whaling Feels.

In London police court recently
teacher in Il public school was prose-
cuted for assaulting a pupil by Gaming
him. The magistrate decided that he
had not used undue violence and there
fore discharged the master.
In this case the father of the boy
who had been caned took him TO Il
physician on the evening of the day
of his castigation and this doctor found
about fifteen wheals on the lads back.
This was evidence of severe punish
ment, but the magistrate considered it
was not too severe for the 0ffenS2
which had caused it. and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion of the amount OF force that
had beer used.
Commenting on this the London Ian
Get says:
"A blow from cane causes ut the
time an appreciate amount of pain
(Which. by the way, is what it is in
tended to dO), but it leaves behind Il
mark quite out of proportion in its
formida bic character to the amount OF
suffering which it causes after the first
sting has been endured. If any one
doubts this. having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to observe it in the
course of an exemplary boyhood. the
experiment is easily made. Any small
boy will be willing to do his share by
intlicting upon the seeker after truth
q sharp cut or two. the results of
which will no doubt be distinctly felt
FOR a time, but only for about an hour.
while there will be visible on the well
protected and tender skin of the back
for some days whealS which would
harrow the heart of any mother

The postoiiice was first established

for the exclusive purpose of carrying

in France, Great Britain and the
United States because of the great eX-
pansion and commercialization of the
postal system the free carriage of mail
matter came to be regarded as PRIV
lege and this privilege was claimed by
persons in official position.
In England the house of commons
claimed the privilege as early as 1860.
1t was abolished in Great Britain.
however, by the passage of ROwland's
cheap postage measure i'll 1889. In the
United States the first appearance of
the franking privilege is traceable TO
the action of the Continental congress
assuming control of the pOstoffice in
January. 177G. 1t is interesting to
learn that it was then granted to all
private soldiers actually in service for
all letters they might write or that
might be written TO them.
In the early years of the United
States government the privilege was
granted widely, but it soon became
necessary to restrict it. An act of
March 3. 1915. limited the privilege TO

What was our amazememt to learn

"On we tramped, she always ahead,

not be used by vehicles. Our guide
led us up the steep way which follows

it we assembled for an hour or more

I'VE here had the merciful intention

to come some few miles farther on that
