REDUCING nliteraey.

Only fifteen out of every one thou
sand children from ten to fourteen
years of age in the United States are
unable tc read and write.
These dgures just announced by the
federal bureau of education show a
striking decrease in child illlteracy
during the last fourteen years. In 1900
the number of illiterate children be-
tween the ages of ten and fourteen
was forty-two in every thousand. In
1910 this number was reduced to TWEEN

Assuming only the latter rate of de-

youthful illiteracy in this country al
most cease to exist save among newly
arrived Immigrant families. Nor can
the present rate of improvement fail
to produce in the same period a

II Bladder Bothers You.


When your kidneys hurt and your
hack feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 800 grains Of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance OF keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and 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 clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids IN urine SO it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
iure; makes a delightful e~ffervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.
