Women Who Make Living Dearer.

Woman's abuse of a shopping privi-
lege adds tremendously to the cost of
operating department stores, and
places a needless burden upon every
buyer. One of the large merchants of
New York city is authority for the
statement that % per cent Of the ar
ticles sent out to charge patrons are
returned, not occasionally, but habit
ually. We are not thinking Of the wo
man who returns garments that have
been worn and declares they have
never been used. She belongs in class
by herself and demands special treat
ment. But the woman who orders
goods sent home without considering
whether she needs them or not ought
to be amenable to reason.-Francis

ashes enter to any extent, are the
more likely on that account to be
scabby. If the user of commercial
fertilizer wishes to put more potash
on his soil than his fertilizer contains,
let him apply the wood ashes and the
commercial fertilizer at intervals of a
week or two apart. Even under these
conditions the phosphoric acid maybe
to some extent affected, but very much
less damage will be done than if the
two were mixed together.

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take glass Of Salts to flush out your
Kidneys and neutralixe irri-
tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritate and infame, causing a burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad-
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in avoiding
it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your pharn-
acist and take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast, con-
tinue this two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is source of irrita-
ton to the bladder and urinary oro-
tgans which tehn can act normally
|again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
land lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used by thousands of folks
who are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid irritation. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble. (Adv.)

-Four Girls Love Him.

Dear Miss Libby: We are four
young girls, deeply interested in a
a nice young man, who seems to have
no choice among US. How can we
help him decide which stands the best
chance of winning him? E. F. l. e.
The young man is simply courteous
to four pleasing girls but not in love
with any one of the quartette. If
other young men were to call on you,
escort you to places of amusement,
the young man in question would
make a quick choice or withdraw
gracefully from the contest.

me in the meantime. I wrote her a
nice letter and received in reply a let
ter written with lead pencil. I con-

sidered that girl who would write
with a pencil couldn't be much: in
fact, that disguised me so that I
never finished reading it. Nor could
I bring myself to write her again,
although she has written me twice
since, with pencil on each occasion.
Am / not justified in paying no at
tention, letting her find out the reason
the best way she can? / have asked
the opinion Of several of my young
men friends on the subject and they
declare unanimously that it is little
short of an insult for young girl,
who ought to know better, to write a
letter with lead pencil. What do
you say, regarding it? JOHN G. M.
It is certainly a great trial to at
tempt to read letter where a pencil
instead Of ink has been used. Per
haps this letter may meet the eve of
the young lady and cause her to
change her methods. She is simply
careless.

expressed in a letter from Secretary

should be laid on the contests in the
states. In some states the time Is
ripe for action. and / think IL Is bet

doctrine of local self-government,
which was invoked against national
prohibition. You need not worry
