John L. Sullivan, once heavyweight
champion, has got back the belt that
the citizens of Boston gave him back
in 1883, soon after he had defeated
Paddy Ryan and become champion of
America. The belt has been in vari-
Gus hands, passing out of Sullivan's
when he became hard pressed for
funds.
Eventually he redeemed it and then
let it go again. 1t has been in Chicago
several times, and now goes back to
the veteran gladiator and his partner,
it is said, at a price of $4,000. The
last man to get it from Sullivan was a
New Yorker, who obtained it at price
of $4,000, it is said, with little chance
of any redemption coming.
Tom Donnolly of Chicago knew of
its whereabouts and, after some dick
ering, is said to have obtained the belt
at about the same figure. He bought it
five years ago and priced it highly.

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

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 a 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
bsckache, 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 a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces OF Jad Salts;
take 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 a delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink-Adv.

Connie Mack.

ize, if they realize anything, that the
more business that is applied to the
running of baseball, the bigger the
chances are for returns on money in
vested.
Connie Mack is placed where he is
because he can return the stockhold-
ers dividends and dividends are the
things which investors are after these
days. If Tom, Dick or Harry, old war
horses and heroes of many wonderful
contests of bygone days, can no long
er attract crowds or deliver goods
they are no longer available as divi-
dend paying investments and must be
let out.
1t may look like ingratitude on the
part of Mack to ruthlessly set adrift
these men, but gratitude as a business
asset does not always return big divi-
dends. In organized ball, Charley
Comiskey is the only man, perhaps,
who can make gratitude pay.-Ex-

COMPARING MEN AND WOMEN
Writer Points Out Wide Differences
Alleged to Exist in the Lives OF
the Sexes.

Before marriage when they appear
at social affairs it is correct to say
he escorted her. But if they appear
together at such affairs after mar
riage it is the proper thing to say
that she dragged him.
If woman wants to retain any In
fiuence over a man she should refuse
to marry him.
When father keeps scrapbook the
clippings are all about himself, tell
ing what great man he is, how use
full to the community, how brave and
all that. But when mother keeps a
scrapbook, that's a different thing!
Her scrapbook is all about the chill
dren, recipes that father likes. cures
for Group, and all that.
All woman gets for her efforts to
attain the ideal life by having bou-
Quet of flowers on the table to uplift
the soul is her husbands complaint
that he can't see what there is to eat
on the other side of that bunch of
weeds.-Exchange

heads of the house if she attempts to
rule. If the wife is high-spirited, do
nestle clashes are the inevitable re-
suit Would each but try to conciliate
the other, there would be fewer cases
of going back to mother.
There are two sides to matrimonial
grievances. A woman may, and I'm
doubtedly does, marry for love, but
that does not say that love will con-
his best to checkmate her affection.
It's a good thing for man to recOl-
lect that the woman he has welded
needs attention paid to her wants.
Because she is wife that is no rea-
son why she should have to sit home
all the time, just to save money, or
because he does not want to go here
and there.
The trouble is they do not study
each others moods. 1t should be a
pleasure for him to give her her own
way just as ofsen as he can. Many a
sacrifice a wife makes for her hus-
band and never thinks of boasting
that he imagenes she is in duty bound
to do it.
If her beauty fails through illness,
it is most unkind of him to let her
know that he has discovered it. Men
who make the most success of welded
life are the ones who continue to COM
pliment their wives. Let wife be-
lieve she is appreciated, and she can
make home life joy to man.
If found fault with, she can nag up
to the queens taste in return-and
keep up the dispute as long as he can.
It's the men who say: Its you I'm
working for, dearie! All / have is
yours; am contented when l see you
happy" who find home heaven, and
their wives agreeable companions.
1t takes diplomacy nowadays for a
man to be contented though married.
Wise is he who studies his little book
carefully, not only before he enters
the matrimonial state, but continuous
ly, as he goes along, lest he forget
some of the obligations he has in
Cured. By so doing marriage cannot
go aWry.
The wife needs her little book, too.
1t isn't conducive to the joy of living
for her to let her husband know that
she is jealous of him, or that she fears
this woman or that one might be
more attractive in his eyes; that he
is considered as scarcely more than a
machine to make money. Wherever
there is unhappiness in a household
neither husband nor wife should con-
slider that the other is wholly to
blame. It's case of each one too
stubborn to jolly the other. That's
the oil that makes the household ma
chinery run smooth. The whole secret
of welded happiness is for each to
constantly make love to the other.
That don't mean getting down on your
knees; wives don't expect that.

TALK ON WESTERN

You Don't Have to Lie About

The natural resources of the coun-
try are so vast that they cannot be
told in mere figures Man can only
tell OF what tiny portions have done.
He can only say, II am more pros
porous than l ever expected to be-"
And yet if a farmer expects to sue
coed on land that he has been forced
to pay $50 to 800 an acre for he ought
to feel assured of attaining prosperity
when he finds the richest prairie soil
at his disposal absolutely free. If he
has q little capital, let him invest 1t
all in live stock and farm implements
he will find himself ten years ahead
of the game. Some day such chance
will not be found anywhere on the
face of the globe. But now the same
opportunities await you as awaited
the pioneer and not one hundredth
part of the difficulties he encountered
and overcame. Success in Canada Is
made up of two things, natural re-
sources and human labor. Canada
has the one and you the other. A
postal card stands between you and
the Canadian government agent. II
you don't hold these two forces and
enjoy the fruits Of the result 1t is your
own fault.
Debt and Canada VIII Not Stand

You want cozy home, free life,

heavy, and your farm hasn't paid.
You work hard and are discouraged.

KEEPING THE MARRIAGE A
SECRET.

My true love hath my heart. and l have
his,
BY Just exchange one to the other given
I hold his dear. and mine he cannot miss
There never was a better bargain
My true love hath my heart and I have
his.
The neighborhoods of large cities
and country towns are pretty mucn
alike after all. If girl catches
beau, a score or more of Mrs. Grun-
dys, peeping from behind closed
blinds, watch how often he calls. They
begin to speculate forthwith as to
how long it will be ere they make
match. Should he call for a year, or
longer, and there's no sign of the en-
gagement being announced, some OF
the Mrs. Grundys declare she is un-
able to land him.
If he goes to her home to board, the
gossips nod to each other declaring
it to be the end of the affair. Seeing
her when she's not tidivated up and
about her work in the morning will
disenchant him. The know-it-alls will
at last grow holder and ask the girl
outright when she's going to give
them a wedding? If she evades the
question, they settle the matter in
their own minds that it's a case of
wasting her time on a man who is
content to court, but marriage is far
and away from his intentions.
Love affairs generally turn out quite
the opposite from peoples prediction,
If he moves his trunk out, they throw
up their hands, wink knowingly to
each other declaring they knew we'll
how it would end. They are surprised
that she still sings as blithely as a
bird about the house. The girl knows
of the gossip of the neighbors, but
holds her peace. 1t is only when the
Mrs. Grundys become too inquisitive
in pryins; into her affairs that the girl
dons her wedding ring and laughs
amusedly in their faces, declaring she
has been a wife nearly twelve months
and she did not know it was any
body's business but her own and her
husbands. She adds amusedly that
he will give them any information
they desire when he returns from his
business trip.
There's often good and sufficient
reason why secret marriages are not
all to be censured. If the young peo-
pie are quite popular and have dear
five hundred friends, any one of whom
it would not do to slight, they think
it wisest to be united while they are
off summering. He may have a
crochety, aged uncle, who forswears
the friendship of women, because he
was Tilted in his youth. He has vowed
that if his favorite nephew weds he
will make a new will, cutting him off
without dollar.
Love laughs at locksmiths, as it
does at threats and Wills. The young
man would declare his marriage open
ly and at once. But his bride prevails
upon him to keep their marriage a
secret and give chance to her to win
the uncle's heart; then spring the
news upon him. His home folks may
have different plans for him, and he
concludes not to inform them of his
marriage until they find it out for
themselves. AS long as the girls folks
make no objection to the secret mar
riage, no one else need concern him.

as happily for them as though the
whole world were invited to help them
celebrate. "All is we'll that ends well"
