Animal Actors.

The impression is created by an oc-
casional moving picture Of wild animal
life that the beasts, in order to force
them into poses for the camera, are
cruelty treated. Nothing, however, 1t
Is said, Is farther from the truth.
Careful investigation has shown that
force is seldom employed and wher-
ever 1t has been used the film result
ing has been unsatisfactory. Ernest
A. Dench, London naturalist, who
has made an extensive investigation
of this phase of the movie industry,
declares that the dumb actors are
given every consideration. The thrills
experienced by the spectator are the
result, in a majority Of instances, of
the very innocent expedient of placing
piece of meat at strategic point.
The animal leaps for 1t and the cinema
tograph records every motion of the
leap. The spectator, of course. sees
nothing of the meat and concludes
that cruelty alone could produce the
picture thrown on the screen. "The
animals" he concludes, really have
a much easier time than those that ap
pear in trick acts on the stage"

NOT A MERE POETIC MYTH
Abundant Proof of the Existence of
Woman Warriors Known as
Amazons.

For long time 1t was held that the
story of the Amazons, the valiant race
of woman warriors, SO great favorite
with the Greeks and other people OF
antiquity, was mere poetic myth,
but within recent years psychological
researches have indicated that there
were indeed woman fighters of high
rank in those remote days.
A couple of years ago there was I'M
earthed sepulcher in that part OF
Italy known as Etruria, in which was
discovered a war chariot of bronze
and iron, wherein was crouched the
skeleton Of woman. About this
skeleton were the remains of rich
robes and ornaments of gold and ivory.
such as, in the old traditions, the
Amazons wore In battle. The bronze
work and the terra Gotta vases fixed
the date of the tomb as about 800 B. G.
The first stories of the Amazons as
signed them to the northeastern part
of Asia Minor, but Etruria was
peopled from Asia Minor and had at
tanned high degree of skill in certain
Of the arts long before Rome was
founded. Such evidence as this tomb
affords is, in the opinion of more than
one authority, more convincing than
the pictures Of AmaZons on the old
vases, or such legends as that OF
Queen Penethesila, who was said to
have led 5000 woman fighters to the
aid of Priam during the Trojan war,

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat II Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or II Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter 1t from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated.
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full OF sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
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 iithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-
