When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs

clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor

GROUND Ii :. ESTONE and MARL.

The Commissioner of Agriculture
is now ready to ship ground lime
stone and mari to the State at the
lowest possible cost. Orders and
are coming in daily and
the indications are that tn ere will
be an enormous demand for this
material this fall and winter.
The prices have been greatly re-
duced. Mari that sold for So a
ton less than a year ago now sells
for 81 so ton; and ground lime
stone that sold for $3.50 ton now
sells for $1.15. And even these
low prices may be reduced still
lower as the demand increases.
ADVISE use of ground limestone
will be found productive of greatly
increased crop yields, and: wil!'en-
able the farmer to get along with
out so much expensive potash, the
price of which has recently been
put out of reach of the average far
mer by the Interference with trans
Atlantic shipping due to the Euro
pean war. We have enormous
amounts of potash in our own soils,
especially those founl in the Pied
mont and mountain sections of the
state, and a liberal use Of ground
limestone and mari will tend to
unlock this potash and render it
available for crops. Farmers
should be careful to use their lime
either under clover. etc., or on land

Bird Friends Of the Allies.

Many soldiers at the front have COM
mented on the fact that the birds do not
desert the region OF the fighting line,
despite the noise OF the firing. But il is
stranger still that the birds have ranged
themselves on the side OF the Allies
against one method OF German warfare.
A soldier on short leave from the trenches
tells how the winged friends OF the Allies
warn them of the coming OF the clouds
OF poison gas when the Germans attempt
that mode of attack at night time.
In daylight the approach OF the deadly
cloud is easily detected. II is visible TO
the eyes OF the watchers in the trenches,
and there is time to take precautions
against IFS effects. But in the darkness
OF the night the coming OF the gas is un-
seen. Then il is that the birds come 10
the help OF the soldiers. Long before
the smell CT the fumes can be detected
in the trenches there is great clamoring
ofbirdS awakened from their night perches.
The birds fly away beyond the reach OF
the fumes, butin The meantime the British
soldier is prepared.

Butchered In Their Boyhood.

In London Opinion James Douglas gives
a picture of the colossal magnitude of the
task that Britain has undertaken against
Germany and doubts if even yet this
enormous task is really recognized by the
people OF the kingdom. "My heart" he
says, ''is raked with pity for the clear
eyed, clear skinned lads who have gone
and are going to the slaughter with life
fresh and sweet upon their lips. They
are butchered in the beauty OF their boy
hood. feel murderous when see the

such lamentation in the world. If we

And what he says OF the waste OF the
youth OF Britain may be said with equal
truth OF the youth OF the clear-e eyed, clean
skinned lads of France, of Germany, OF
Austria, OF all the countries engaged in
this titanic war.

1t Grows While You Wait.

How many boys and girls have ever
seen a plant grow? Not the kind OF
plant which springs from the seed planted
by magician or an East Indian faker,
but real, bona fide plant with green
leaves, stout stalks and roots embedded

beanstalk to think of such thing; but,
nevertheless, if you should visit the West
Indies you could actually watch tree
grow. The name Of this tree which
grows while you wait is familiar to every
one and its fruit may be seen in nearly
every grocery and at every fruit stand,
for this tropical "hustler" is the banana.

Cannon and Thunder Compared.

There is no doubt about cannon fire being

guns of Waterloo were heard al Creil,

But if is doubtful whether thunder can be
heard at a greater distance than twenty
miles. When the church steeple OF Lost

the accompaniment OF such roar OF
thunder that the Oldest inhabitant could
not remember, Smeaton, the engineer,
who was about thirty miles distant, heard
