The monks have occupied this ancient
astery for about 1900 years, since the foundation
of the Christian religion. This monastery lies
along the route by which the Turks were re-

Moses to bring down the laws to them.
Persons who have read about certain modern
enterprises in Jerusalem and other parts of the
Holy Land may have gained idea that the
Turk has become more amiable in recent years.
This is mistake You can only get anything
from the Turk by paying him exorbitanty, and
this is not always possible.
Until recently" writes the Rev. Lewis B. Pa
ton, professor of Old Testament history in Hart
ford Theological seminary, mo permits for exca-
walton were given by the government, and when
under European pressure, frmans were at last
granted, these hedged around with so many
restrictions that they of little practical
value. According to the present Turkish law of
antiquities, the consent of the local authorities
must first be secured before a permit will be
issued in Constantinople. To obtain this a lavish
expenditure of money is necessary in order to
overcome the fanatcism and prejudice of the
provincial authorities.
"The site desired for exploration must be
purchased at price estimated by the owners.
After local permission is secured endless delay
and bakshish are necessary before edict

at last IL is obtained Turkish commissioner,
whose expenses paid by the excavator. must
be constantly In attendance to decide what may
and what may not be DONE and all antiquities dis
covered must be turned over to the imperial Otto
man museum. These conditions stand in dis
agreeable contrast to the liberal provisions in
Egypt, where any competent person is allowed
10 excavate, and is required only TO divide his
finds with the Cairo museum.

BIG EATERS HAVE BAD
KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE
Take a Glass Of Salts at Once II Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and
Bladder Trouble You.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food Is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result Is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full OF sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; IL you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in glass OF water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then 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 clogged kidneys:
to neutralize the acids in the urine SO
1t no longer is source OF irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot In.
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs In
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.-Adv.
