BAND SAVED THE SMALL BOY
Whether the 5uli Was Astonished or
Disguised It Is, of Course, I'M
possible to Say.

"The village had a new brass band"
said an urbanite just in from stay
in an ultra rural part of an eastern
state. THE new band played its first
piece one day, considerably going
some distance out of the village to do
1t. That delicate consideration doubt
less saved the life Of small boy, but
it killed Farmer Stauffer's valuable
Jersey bull
"At the time the band went out to
play its first tune the bull was feeding
contentedly in Its pasture, which was
near the spot chosen by the band for
venturing on its initial burst of tune.
While the band was getting its collec-
tive lips ready. to compel that burst
from its horns the small boy who fig
ured in the episode was taking short
cut through the pasture to get to the
band.
The bull took note of the small
boys presence and proceeded at once
to hasten his trip across the lot. The
boy did not delay his Fastening. The
band had not seen the procession NOV
ing through the meadow, although the
bull was mounting his displeasure
Justify as he ran and the small boy
was lifting up his, voice In audible and
penetrating tones, so absorbed was
that band in thought of what it was
on the verge of lifting up itself.
"The bull was within three jumps of
the speeding small boy when the band
had at last got ready to play its tune.
The band began to play. At the first
burst from the assembled horns the
bull stopped short, threw up his head
and shifted the air. The band blared
again. The bull turned and rushed
wildly toward a nearby stone wall that
divided the lot from another lot. The
band threw Its soul once more into
its horns and the bull sprang over the
wall. He came down on his head on
the other side. The small boy, though,
did not stop in his flight, and the last
seen Of him was streak Of dust in
the road leading to the village. The
bulls neck was broken. He was dead"

STOP EATING MEAT If
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take a Glass Of Salts to Clean Kid.
neys If Bladder Bothers You
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog UP and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or il bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer irrltates. thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

of this city, who is identified with the
national crusade against tuberculosis,
will be one of the leading figures in
the conference
That there is imminent and pressing
need Of action to stamp out tuber-
culosis in Maryland is demonstrated
by the records of the State Depart
ment of Health, which show that 2,016
residents-men, women and children
died from tuberculosis in this State
last year. More than 5000 persons in
the State are said to be afflicted with
the scourge. More than 1000 new
cases were recorded in 1914. The
State Is spending annually nearly
100000 in maintaining sanatoria for
the treatment Of those suffering with
the malady.
