WOODS oF,VARloUs STRENGTH j E | !!
Investigation Has Shown That Prea-
& senee or Absence OF Tyloae Makes y
d Great Differences. .5

q The reason why one kind OF wood
is more durable than another Is owing
to the fact that one contains the sub.
stance known as tylose In more gener-
GUS quantities. Tylpse is the material
which fills the pores Of the wood and
resists this entrance on action OF de-
cay For instance, white oak is well
suited and much used for barrel slaves,
where barrels are to contain LIQUID,
while, on the other hand, red oak.

ture, is not at all suited for the 4 pur,- p'1l,
pose q ;i s. ~. s ,sj
IA close examination OF tile white
oak reveals the presence Of the tylose
which seals all the little pores Of the

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
y. KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat u Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or II Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You. s &

When you, wake up with backache
and dull misery In the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue Is coated,
and when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for 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 clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adv.

teacher Of the School of Builders, says
If you want plenty Of the mazzuma all
you have to do is to apply the natural
law right. There's no use of wishing,
hoping or longing for the worldly stuff
to come your way because it won't. In
the first place, 1t is pretty we'll weight
ed down, AMI in the second place 1t
has no wings. If you care to be in the
Rockefeller and Carnegie set this Is
the way to get your roll: In tile first
place, you must learn how to flnG both
mental and physical quiet. And after
you ,have found both you just say to-
yourself, 81 will"-this must be domi.

they are soon within your grasp.
