QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take Glass Of Salts Before Breakfast
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Is Troubling You

No man or woman who eats meat reg
ularly can make mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness 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
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in few days your
kidneys will 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
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
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure. thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.-Adv.

PRODUCING HISTORIC ATMOSPHERE

Down at the University of Pennsylvania it has
been found recently that despite all the modern
Improvements, in fact because of them, there is
something lacking,-an atmosphere of historic
associations. The university has been at its present
location little more than forty years, hence its
buildings are comparatively new and the campus
is not adorned with the relics of former days that
ought to be there to furnish inspiration to the
students.
The plan has been suggested of transferring to
the campus from other parts of Philadelphia sew
eral of the old college buildings together with the
home of Benjamin Franklin, who had hand in
the founding the university and various other ins-
tutions which are proud to use his name.
The idea is not bad one. If the university has
no ancient buildings the campus with which to
make venerable appearance, it should get some,
for it is justly entitled to them. Not many will be
necessary Several gray hairs in woman s crown

THE CASE OF THE H1NoJosA TWINS

If the operation about to be performed on the
Hnojosa twins, born two and half years ago in
Havana, Cuba, is successful, the little girls will be
able for the first time in their identical lives to
move about each independent of the other.
Joined together in much the way as "those
extraordinary" Siamese twins, the little girls
Guadalupe and Josephine, likewise extraordinary
have during these two and half years been liter
ally inseparable. No sisters ever were more closely
attached to each other Rarely is it that two per-
sons, no matter how devoted they are, one to the
other, constantly side by side, but the little
Spanish twins two such persons at least until
surgery sewers them.
There might be some advantages in the joint
existence of connected twins, if the minds of the
inseparable ones were united as well as their bodes
if their incnatons all the same their tastes
alike and their talents Identical They could, en-
gaging in chosen pursuits unanimously agreed upon
by them, accomplish perhaps more than could two
separate individuals, if they acted in perfect har
mony at all times
Minds are not the same however either in ordi-
nary twins or in connected twins, any more than
they are in other individuals The Hinojosa chill
dren are said to be occasionally very loving and
ssterly, but to have their quarrels, too, at times
When the disagreements come the twins cannot
say naughty things to each other and then run
away. They must stay close together and make
amicabe arrangements before either of them can
go anywhere or do anything with the necessary
permission and companionship of the other
The accounts of the peculiar attachment between
the Spanish twins may excite the curiosity of a
large part of the general public to see the little
girls appealing to the same part of human nature

faction to know that the parents of Guadalupe and
Josephine, instead of arranging to put the little
girls on exhibition, planning to have them sep
arated and converted into normal human beings.

Tonaue-End Topics
Thinks Censorship Too Rigid

The press censorship in both France
and England is still far too rigorous for
the good of the countries cause. in the
opinion of NJ. Henry Franklin -Bouillon,
chairman of the Committee of Foreign
Affairs of the French Chamber of Dep
uties, who has been in London for a
series of war conferences with Lord
Kitchener, Chancellor Lloyd.George, Sir
Edward Grey and other statesmen.
''Part of the work of the committee
which sent me on my present mission, "
he said, sis to urge that not only in
our own countries but in neutral coun-
tries as well, true perspective of the
course of events should be held out. In
England and France alike, the main
obstacle is the excessive rigor of the
censorship, and this subject l discussed
with some of the leading men in
England. was glad to learn that some
concessions to the press are now being
considered.

AVOID SPRING ILLS
Purify and Build Up the Blood With
Hoods Sarsaparilla

In the spring your blood needs
cleansing and enriching. You feel
poorly, and there is more or less erup-

and you are tired all the time.
You need Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t
is the one safe and effective tonic that
has stood the test of forty years. 1t
makes the pure red blood that will
make you feel better, look better, eat
and sleep better. 1t is the old stand
ard tried and true all-the-yearround
medicine for the blood and the whole
system.
Ask any druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilla, and insist on having it,.
Nothing else acts like it, for nothing
else has the same formula or ingre-
dicnts, and so there is no real substi-
tute. Get it to-day.-Adv

Must Appeal to Imagination

"What we all feel on the foreign
committee, said NJ. Franklin-B -Bouillon,
sis that our own eommuniques are too
bald and uninteresting a recital to in
spire our people with that enthusiasm
so necessary to maintain them steadily
until victory is won. The English eye
witnesses, one with the English army
and one with the French, are certainly
doing fine work; but to get at the great
masses of people, things must be dished
up and presented in all sorts of different
ways by trained writer's, each with his
own point of view and literary style.
From my committees standpoint it is
a supreme need that the doings of the
French army should be brought home
to the Imagination of the English peo-
pie, and to that end strong recommen-
dation has been officially made that a
few newspaper correspondents be at
tached to the headquarters staff. If that
is done, it will perhaps be the beginning
of taking the public in England aud
France more into the confidence of our
governments than is the case at pres
ent."
Neutral Estimate of the Kaiser
"The German Emperor's popularity
has been undoubtedly increased with the
war;" writes ga neutral correspond

many. ''He is considered to be the
only man fit to serve as an example
to his subjects and he is at the same
time the embodiment of all they most
admire. His outward appearance, his
mind, his piety and almost all his un-
dertakings are in accordance with the
taste and wishes of his people. That he
is clever, active and in many ways bril-
liant even his worst enemies admit;
most of his subjects in their idolatry,
think him infallible. Among the mill
tary caste, however. though nothing is
openly said against him, he does not
possess the same influence in directing
strategical operations as he unquestion-
ably had in the early stages of the war
His generals seem to have found way
of preventing him from seriously inter,
fering with the campaign"
