SALTS IS FINE FOR
 KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers-
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake bv flushing the kidneys occasionally. says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver tronble, nervousness. constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scaldiag get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and 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, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity. also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.

Montana from three to one; Oregon from three to one; Vermont from six to two; New Mexico from 182 to six ty-nine, and Idaho from five to two. The following states report only one child in 1000 between the ages of ten to fourteen as illiterate: Con- necticut, District of Colum mbia, Mas sachusetts, Minnesota, Montana New Hampshire North Dakota Oregon, Utah and Washington.
 Some of the states have reduced their illiteracy by one-half or little more. These states are Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Dis trict of Columbia, Kansas, Maryland Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota Mississippi, North Dakota, Tennessee. Utah and West Virginia.
 Only one state, Nevada, has lost ground since 1900. It's illteracy was then four; in 1910 it was five. Two states, South Dakota and Nebraska. each having the low rate of two per 1000, report no reduction in il- literacy between 1900 and 1910.
 The states having the largest pro- portion of illiterate children per 1000 are Louisiana, with 115 (from 174 in 1900); South Carolina, eighty three from 150; Alabama, seventy seven from 157; New Mexico sixty nine from 1892: North Carolina, sixty eight from 167; Kentucky, fifty-nne from seventy-nine; Georgia, f1fty-sev- en from 106, and Virginia, fifty seven from ninety-seven; Tennessee, fifty-four from 119; Florida, fifty from seventy three; Arkansas, forty seven from 113
 It is evident that the public schools will in a short time practically elm- mate illiteracy among children. But according to bureau of education of ficials there are between four and five millions of adults that are illiterate and that can not be reached by the public schools. To wipe out il- literacy in the United Sattes one of two things must happen: Either the country must wait for the generation of present adults to die off, or by some literate millions.
 On the basis of these figures, Dr. P. P. Claxton, commissioner of edu- cation, estimates that with an aver age annual expenditure of $2O,O0O Cor ten years he could put forces to work that would, by means of night schools and other agencies, eliminate illit- eracy among the adults of this coun- try. The Abercrombie illiteracy bill, now pending before congress, requires the bureau of education to undertake this work in any state upon request of the proper state authorities and makes an appropriation of $15,0OO for 1915, $22.5OO for each succeeding year until 1920; and $17,50O for each year thereafter until 1925, at which date, it is believed, illiteracy would be eliminated.

|LL|TfRACy AMONG
 CHILDREN SMALL Connecticut Reports Only One in Every Thousand Popuation.

Illiteracy in the United States is doomed. Statistics compiled by the United States Bureau of Education for use at the Panama-Pacific ex- position, show that of children from 10 to A years of age there were in 1910 only twenty-two out of every 1000 who could neither read nor write. Tn 1910 there were of the same class forty two of 1,O00 If re- duction in illiteracy is still proceed ing at even the same rate, the illit- crate children in this country be- tween the ages of 1 0 and IA, inclusive, now number no more than fifteen out of every 1000.
 From the standpoint of proportion al reduction of illiteracy Oklahoma leads all the states of the union. Ii, 1900 this state had 124 illiterate children of the ages named. In 1910 it had but seventeen; Delaware had twenty in 1900 and but four in 1910: New Hampshire reduced from four to one; New Jersey from seven to two; Missouri from thirty-fiv to eleven;

When you are sewing, great deal of work may be saved by the following arrangement: Place the sewing table on the left and at a right angle to the sewing machine; you can then turn from the sewing machine to the table without leaving your chair. If the scrap basket is placed at youT right hand, all small bits can be dropped into the basket with ease, and save the after effort of picking them off the floor.

If the mother of the family is a very busy person. and if the trimming of the Christmas trees seems one thing too much, try giving the kiddies the fun of trimming it themselves. This, of course. applies only to the children who have grown out of the baby stage. A good many mothers tried this last Christmas and the idea is worth remembering for the Christmas to come in the latter part of this year of 1915.

If the children are fond of candy and you fear bad results, do not al- low them to have it just before meal, but be liberal with the sweets right after they have eaten a hearty meal. They will not eat so much, nor will it do them harm, if this method Is followed
 Cottage pudding is a most de- licious little pudding, and so easily made. Two ounces of butter beaten to a cream, four ounces of flour, two ounces of sugar one tcaspoonful of baking powder, one egg and 8 little milk. Stir all lightly together. Steam for one hour
 A remedy for hoarseness is to add to the beaten white of an egg the juice of one lemon, and sweeten to taste with white sugar. Take a tea spoonful from time to time. Another good thing for hoarseness or sore throat is horseradish. This should be eaten alone, and in moderate quanti- ties only twice during the day.

Chance Tip Starts
Boy in Paying Business
Remark Of Grocer to Customer Sets
Him to Thinking and He Soon
Gets Busy.

Gets Busy.
New York.-A boy whose back yard
grew horseradish SO abundantly that 1t
was necessary to dig some of 1t up and
destroy 1t, happened to hear grocer
remark to customer that his supply
Of horseradish was exhausted and that
he was unable to secure a sufficient
supply for his trade. The boy saw his
opportunity, and before he left the city
had secured the promise of number
Of grocers to take dozen jars of
horseradish, and more IL it proved sat
isfactory, and he also invested in n
case of 200 glass jars and package
Of printed labels.
"The labels read 'Bigelow Bros
thought the Bros looked much better
than my lone name" he said. His
younger brother had been taken into
the firm without consultation, it being
quick move. WELL" he continued,
my brother was willing, and we start
ed out and dug horseradish until we
jars. The next move was to thorough
ly clean it, and then we started In
with the graters and filed the 200 jars.
AS to the ingredients which went into
the first lot and each lot since l must
not tell, as that information belongs to
the firm, but l will say that vinegar
is generally used, and only the best
vinegar obtainable is advisable.
| "Our jars were packed in cases hold
Ing one dozen each and shipped to the
merchants whose names l nau pro-
cured, and in surprisingly short time
results were forthcoming, to the end
that we were receiving more orders
than we could fill. To add to our pre-
| dicament, the supply in our garden had
| given out and that in our neighbers'
yards was tending that way. BY aut-
umn of the following year we were
writing letters to the effect that "the
| demand has overtaxed the capacity Of
car factory and 1t was then that we
came to see the need Of making horse
radish cultivated crop.
THAT fall we planted as many
healthy roots as we could obtain
throughout the neighborhood and set
them out. We placed them about two
feet apart, choosing this distance more
with an idea Of running the cutivlator
through it than aything else. 1t came
up well the next spring and we gave it
the care allotted to the other farm
crops, and the result has justified the
efforts. We now have our regular GUS
toners and grow enough horseradish
during the summer to keep US busy
much Of the winter preparing it for
market.
1.-THE demand for horseradish is
good, and 1 dare say the supply has
never equalled it, but 1t is not what
1t might be and would be If more
people gave It trial."
