STOP EATING MEAT IF

Take a Glass Of Salts to Clean Kid.

Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a w~ell-known authority.
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked:
get sluggish; clog up and all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte ~twinges, eve headaches. acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver.
s!eeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
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 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 from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine SO it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone:
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

STICK TO IT

The Censor.

The Washington Star relates that
Mayor Baker of Cleveland, in defense
of a political movement that had been
attacked, said the other day:
It's an honest movement and a
straightforward movement, and they
who attack it are as c%ensorious as the
Seabright old maid.
"A Seabright old maid was talking
to a sunburned college boy on the

ARM0RED CAR IN WARFARE
European Armies Have Found 1t Of
the Greatest Value in Their
Operations.

Although an engine new to warfare,
the armored motor car has proved eX-
tremely useful, especially for outpost
2nd scouting duty. Fast, silent, and
Mobile, it covers a vast amount OF
ground on the splendid roads that
crisscross the field of war in western
Europe. Most of the cars are incased
in a light frame Of tough steel plate
that ranges in thickness from three
s~iXteenths of an inch to a quarter or
an inch, and that is impervious to rifle
and machine-gun fire. All the vulner-
able parts of the motor, such as the
radiator and steering gear, and in
some of the newest cars the wheels,
are protected by the steel covering.
The wheels. both wood and wire, are
said to withstand the toughest sort OF
usage. Accidents to the tires are
expect. The cars carry a light arma-
ment-one or two machine guns so
mounted that they can be swung
through a complete circle-and a
large supply of ammunition. The
crew, which may number from four to
eight or more men, are armed with
rifles and revolvers. Some of the cars
have a steel supe%rstructure that rises
from the chassis frame high enough
to enable the crew to stand upright,
and that is capped with a domed roof.
from which bullets and %shrapnel usu-
ally fly off at a sharp angle without
even denting the steel.-Youth's Com

CHAPTER XIII.

In other years Bad Anse Havey re-
membered the days in that house when
the voices of women and children had
been raised in song and laughter. Then
the family had gathered in the long
winter evenings before the roaring
backlogs, and spinning wheel and quilt
ing frame had not yet gone to the cob
webs Of the cockIoft. But that was
long ago.
The quarter-centuTy over which his
memory travelled had brought changes
even to the hills. The impalpable
ghost Of decay moves slowly, with no
sound save the occasional click Of a
sagging door here and the snap of
cord there, but in twenty-five years it
moyes-and an inbred generation
comes to impaired manhood. Since
Bad Anse himself had returned from
frankfort his house had been tenanted
only by men, and an atmosphere Of
grimness hung in its shadows A half
dozen unkempt and loutish kinsmen
dwelt there with him, tilling the ground
and ready to bear arms More than
once they had been needed.
1t was to this place that Juanita Hol-
land and the preacher were making
their way on that October afternoon.
At the gate they encountered a soil
tary figure gazing stolidly out to the
front, and when their coming reused
it out Of it's gloomy reverie it turned
and presented the scowling face OF
Jeb McNash.
Where air they?" he demanded
wrathfully, wheeling upon the two ar
rivals, and then he repeated violently:
by heaven, where air they? Why
hain't We done fetched Dawn and
lesser"
"Jeb," said the missionary quietly,

be refused-but I'll CO."
Listen" said the preacher, and his
words carried that soft quality of paci-
fcation which she had once or twice
heard before. ''Thar's a heap worse
fellers than Bad Anse Hayey. Eff ye
could jest hev seed yore way ter treat
him a leetle diff'rent-"
How could II" demanded Juanita
holly. How could I be friends with a
murderer and keep my selfrespect?"
The brown-faced man looked up at
her and spoke simply.
I've done kept NINE" he said.
The girl rose.
''Will you go with me?" she asked a
little weakly. q don't feel quite
strong enough to go over there alone.
While they are humbling me l would
like to have a friend at hand. think
it would help little"
I'm ready now" and so, with the
man who had guided her on other mis-
sions, she set out to make what terms
she could with the ell my she had so
stubbornly defied
It seemed an interminable journey,
though they took the short cut Of the
foot-trail over the hills.
The house that had come down to
Anse Havey had been built almost a
century before. It was originally
placed in a section so large that else
where it would have been domain-a
tract held under the original Virginia
grant. Since those days much of it
had been parceled out as marriage por-
tions to younger generations.
Cabins that had once housed slaves,
barns, a smoke-house, an icehouse, and
a small hamlet of dependent shacks
clustered about clearing which had
been put there rather to avoid surprise
than to give space for gardening. The
Havey of two generations ago had
been something of a hermit scholar.
and in his son had lurked a diminish
ing craze for books and an increasing
passion for leadership.
The feud had blaZed to its 1ercest
heat in his day, and the father of Bad
Anse Havey had been the first Bad
Anse. His son had succeeded to the
title as a right of heritage and had
been trained to wear it like fighting
man. Though he might be a whelp of
the wolf breed, the boy was a strong
whelp and one in whom slept latent
possibilities and anomalies qualities,
for in him broke out afresh the love of
books.
1t might have surprised his newspa-
per biographers to know how deeply
he had conned the few volumes on the
rotting shelves of the brick house, or
how deeply he had thought along some
lines. 1t might have amazed them had
they heard the fire and romance with
which he quoted the wise counsel OF
the foolish Polonius. Beware of en-
tering a quarrel, but being in. so bear
thee that the opposer may beware
of thee"
AS to entering quarrel, it sufficed
his logic that he had been born into it:
that he had "heired" his hatreds
And because in these parts his ia
Their had held almost dictatorial pow
ers, it had pleased him to send his son
Just come to his majority, down to the
state capital as a member of the iegi>
lature, and the son had gone to sit for
while among lawmakers.
