QUIT MEAT

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a wen-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which eXciteS the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, 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 a sensation of scaIding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy: take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will 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
flush and stimulate the kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer causes irritation. thus end.
Ing bladder weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Iithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then TO keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
omplications.-Ady.

BY PEARL ALICE LADD.
Two Pretty Pieces of Sentiment by
Late Topeka ''Shut-In."

Two hitherto unpublished poems by
Miss Pearl Alice Ladd, the Topeka
'-shut-in'' poeteSs who died a few days
ago, were given to the State Journal
today by F. l. Lindemuth- The first
is entitled "A Reminder, and is as
follows:
When the days are dark and dreary,
Then how we murmur and repine
For we feel so sad and weary
And how wish the sun would shine.
But when we see. day after day,
The brilliant sun clear and bright,
We then neglect to pause and say
How pleasant is his radiant light
So. lest we fail to see his face
And fully value his broad smile,
Behind the clouds he takes his place
And gives US time to think a while.
And thus. here in this busy life,
Some time across our sunny skies
Come darkened clouds of pain and strife,
Lest we our blessings fail to prize.
The second, My Deliverance," fol-
lows:
Though in AffIiction's prison
/ am fettered hard and fast
am waiting for the summons
Which will set me free at last
Here. Pain with eager. watchful eye
Stands guarding day by day.
But / must not grieve, despair or sigh,
For / have not long to stay.
And though but little light be mine,
1t matters not to me.
For the Light of Lights will shine,
And, oh. How bright twill be.
Then the prison door will open wide.
The bonds will snap in twain,
And trustful. by my Saviour's side
I'll bid farewell to Waterman Pain

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much a1kali. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful Just
plain muIsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseIess), is
much better than soap or any
thing else you can use for sham
pooling. as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an album
dance of rich creamy lather. and
c1eanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out east
ly, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky bright, fluffy and easy to
manage
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.-Adv.
