STOP EATING MEAT IF
 KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
neys f Bladder Bothers You- Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys. they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheu- matic twinges. severe headaches. acid stomach. constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness. bladder and urinary ir- ritatiop.
 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 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
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone: makes 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.

'lss an architect lifs here?"


 lss an architect lifs here?"
 NIT. Brandon Meade, deep in his con- unuous plans for booming the live little city of Holden. stopped abruptly 1erked his black cigar from between his teeth, and surveyed the youthful stranger through tho gently failing flakes.
 Fellow here calls himself one; he's contractor. and runs a blaming mill besides he replied.
 The other made an indescribable little gesture with his hands and shoul- ders and head, not exactly of con. tempt, but more of pity and sorrow.
 Then iss no chance" he said with weary resignation.
 Are you an architect?" asked Meade in his turn.
 What you cail-draftsman." replied the other. Designer. to originate; ca thedral, residence, anything; details, perspective. water-color. everything"

Come along with me"
 The boy-he was scarcely more than that-looked at him in solemn perplex- tty, bur followed as he was told to do. Notwithstanding his announcement that he had no time to waste, Meade turned with his quick, nervous stride down the side street, at right angles 10 the direction in which he had been hurrying, and wheeled into the hall way of an old, rickety, frame build ing Up one flight of stairs he stalked into an office where. near the window. a big rough table. filtered with paper and dfawing materials, was tilted upon rude trestles- A cheerful wood fire was burning in sn old-fashioned stove;

When they were through, after three solid hours of toll. Harper sent Conrad home ahead of him while he counted up the new record. As re- yised, the book showed over a thou sand dollars still due him from Meade enough to tide him over this desper- ate pinch in which he found himself. Musing in pallid-faced self-loathing over this, his first departure from rec titude, he did thing inexplicable even in one of his careless habits. He de- stroyed the old book, abstractedly tearing it up page by page and drop ping it in the wastebasket.
 In the morning came Conrad, and recognized those scraps at once. On the table lay the new book where liar per had left 1t the night before. Me chanically obeying the memorable logic of the situation, Conrad picked some of the scraps from the basket and com pared entries. Every legible word was damning. Here, on the 18th, was Turner, on the old book three hours, in the new book nine. Wright was in the new book for nine hours on that date, and in the old one his name was not written down at all, for he had been at work on another job.
 Then Harper came in, strangely shaken, though trying to preserve an air of easy nonchalance.
 q have just had a settlement with Meade" he began in a voice irtended to be quiet and cheery, and what do you think the fellow did? Offered me five-hundreddollar bonus for the good work we have done,
 Here's your back pay. Conrad" he said. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long"
 Conrad backed away from the check as if it were an unclean thing.
 No. mol" he cried. That money, I want it not, It is not goot money. saw in the basket this morning the book where you tore it up. You haf been t'ief; am part t'ief;" and slip ping his instruments into his pockets

STICK TO TT Until Coffee Hits You Hard.

It Is about as well to advise people to stick to coffee until they get hit hard enough SO that they will never forget their experience A woman writes and her letter is condensed to give the facts in a short space:
 T was . coffee 5lave and stuck to it like toper to his cups notwithstand. Ing frequently had severe attacks of sick headache; then I used more cof fee to relieve the headache, and this was well enough until the coffee ef. feet wore oil.
 Finally attacks of rheumatism be gan to appear, and ultimately the whole nervous system began to break down and I was fast becoming . wreck.
 After a time I was induced to quit coffee and take up Postum. This was half a year ago. The result has been most satisfactory.
 "The rheumatism is gone entirely, nerves practically well and steady, d. gestion almost perfect. never have any more sick headaches and am gaining steadily in weight and strength"
 Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to We'll ville," in pkgs.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Regular Postum - must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
 Instant Postum - is a soluble pow. der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and. with cream and sugar, makes a delicious bever- age instantly. soc and 50c tins.

he started toward the door, ''Goot-by," he said brokenly.
 Harper was ash-white under the ac- cusation that he could not resent.
 Where are you going?" he stam- mered.
 T do not know Away like I came, s answered Conrad. T forgif you," and he was gone.
 Harper was still sitting rigidly upon the stool when Meade came bustling in five minutes later.
 Got a new job for you, Sam" he said. I've made Parsons consent to tear down the rickety old buildings on his corner and put up a good business block. Say, what's the matter with you, anyhow"
 Harper had not moved. He had been gazing at Meade with fixed eyes, like one in a horror-stricken trance; but now he drew from his pocket the check that Meade had given him but an hour before and proffered it.
 T stole il" he numbly confessed. T falsified the time"
 "Oh. climb down from your perch" Meade whipped out with no abatement whatever of his crisp manner. Now, what's all this about? Tell me like a sane man.
 You say you falsified those time entries" he went on. T glanced them over while you were at my of flee. They were all in Conrsd's writ. ing"
 'Gad!" exclaimed Harper. For the moment I had forgotten him. I read of those items to him from the old book last night, changing them as went along. He found out this morn ing what I'd had him do and he called me thief and left. God knows what it cost him. There's a girl here that well, after he went away I had to re. nege."
 Away" yelled Meade. What do you mean by away Not that he's going to leave Holden?"
 Just that" affirmed Harper. He said he couldn't look my wife and me in the face and tell on me, and couldn't look you in the face and not tell"

 They were just about to leave the office when suddenly the door opened and Blanche Reynolds, trifle pale | and much too anxious for frivolous embarrassment, stood before them. ''Is MT. Hoehler here?' she asked, glancing swiftly about the office. It was notable that, though knowing no German, she pronounced his name | with a perfect mastery of the difficult sound of the modulated vowel. Harper shook his head and glanced at Meade with a miserable sense of guilt.
 He is gone" he faltered. He left about half an hour ago." T got such curious note from him." she explained. He met my brother on the street and gave it to him. Why did he go?"
 Tt was a-a point of honor" liar per lamely told her
 It was splendid to see the way the girl squared her shoulders, and how her eyes flashed, though she grew paler still.
 He has done nothing wrong" she declared. T know" Bless your heart, no!" exploded Meade. He couldn't if he tried Now don't you worry about Conrad, because his friends are not going to let him get away" and he hustled outside with his usual spluttering energy.
 Bewildered. not able to understand any of it, the girl went out upon the street. scarcely refiecting that she was going with them. Walking at the side of Harper, with Meade forging nerv- ously on ahead, during the next four blocks she lost herself in the knowi- edge of how much, how very much, she cared,
 As they turned the corner toward the station Meade, who was in ad- vance, gave an exclamation of sur prise, for there. but half block ahead of them, and going in the same direc- ton, was Conrad. He was walking slowly along the shady street, his head down, his shoulders dropped, his pock- cts bulging with his portable posses sions. Blanche, all thought for con ventions swept away in this over wrought moment, flew swiftly after him.
 "Oh, Conrad,' she called, as she overlook him and put her hand ou ris arm.
 He whirled, and a passing teamster, with a jovial cast of countenance, stopped his horses and looked back ward with grin, for it was quite un- usual in the streets of Holden to see a young man sob and clasp a young lady in his arms.
 "Ach, ich sterbe fuer dich.-I die for you," cried the young man, stopping even then, in his consideration of her, to translate: but when Meade and Har- per came up he drew her arm within his own and turned his back upon them and walked away. She was going with him quite contentedly. She did not know what these men had done, but if Conrad held them in con tempt she scorned them,
 Wait minute," commanded Meade, and caught Conrad by the shoulder, instantly understanding his quandary. "Everything's all right my boy. Harper told me all about it. Look here" and he thrust before Con- rad's eyes the check that Harper had returned to him. "Harper's an honest man. So are you; so am I; sos Miss Reynolds. Let's all shake hands. Now we're all four going back to the office and talk it over. By the way, Conrad. what are you doing here? We expected to find you four miles down the track by this time"
 Conrad smiled through his tears.
 T could not go, and I could not stay!" he exclaimed. -Four, five. six
