Wilfred Horton found himself that
fall in the position OF man whose
course lies through rapids, and for
the first time in his life his pleasures
were giving precedence to business.
Horton was the most-hated and most

men who hated and snubbed him were
his own sort, and the men who ad.
Eired him were those whom he would

while, from various sources. Horton
had received warnings of actual per-
sonal danger. But at these he had
laughed, and no hint of them had
reached Adrienne's ears.
One evening, when business had
forced the postponement Of dinner

begged her over ,he telephone to ride
with him the following morning.

LESS HOSTILE TO FOREIGNERS
Lives Of European Explorers In Tibet
Comparatively Safe-Work is
Going On.

Tibet continues to hold its special
fascination for explorers, and 1t is
therefore interesting to learn from
the experiences of Captains Bailey
and Moreshead, who recently cleared
up the long-standing mystery concern
ing the connection between the Tsang-
po and Brahmaputra rivers, that a
noticeable change has come about In
the attitude of the Tibetans toward
foreigners. These explorers encoun-
tered no signs of hostility or distrust,
except when they were mistaken for
Chinese, who appear to be held IN
great dread No objections were made
to the surveying operations, and Capt.
Morshead asserts that ''it is now pos
sible to traverse the country from end
to end, openly with plane-table and
theodolite, and without even the for
mality of a pass from Lhasa." Ap'
parently the Tibetans have learned
that the British are their best pro-
tectors from Chinese aggression. Apro-
pos of the Tsangpo- o-Brahmaputra, the
current number of Petermann's Nit
teIlungen announces that the Austrian
explorer, A. X. Gebauer, who is now
travelling north from Burma along the
Chinese -Tibetan border, intends ulti'
mately to strike west to the Tsangpo
and follow this river through the
passes of the Hlmalaya.-Scientific

THE usual unjust things that are
said about women in society. You are

freak who is scarcely gentleman,

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so We can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you cant drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for Il few days and your kidneys will
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 clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no
longer is source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes delightful efiervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.
