eRAspINe At THE SHADOW

No man-especially II he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done. is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
of a mayor; is not the employment of
the dairyman far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for Jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that it is not, as a rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; it is not
the mother who teaches her children

the daughter who hopes TO reign as

her home, neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads parades

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers--Meat
forms uric acid.

II you must have yoar meat every day,
eat It, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-
forts to expel it from the blood. They
BECOME sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
heddache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full Of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
Tins during The night.
10 neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast sor a few days
and your kidncs will then act fine. This
famous salts 4 made from the acid of
grapes and lpnon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
So it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in

INSPIRATION OF I NJ ..... :
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

| When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power-that is the inspira-
tion of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the Won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor Of agricul-
ture where nature is plrading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
tion, let us pause and take retro
spective view. How many OF you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at profit? Take the blush
ing Elberta, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations tavorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for wanI OF a
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also well to remember that there
is market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at a county fair.
