CUT OUT MEATS
If KIDNEYS ARE

Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys

Noted Authority says we must flush
Kidneys with Salts if

We are nation of meat eaters anu
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns US
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this Irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek re-
lief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheuma tism in bad weather, get from
your pramacist about four ounces of
lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in
slass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
leys will act fine. This famous salts
S made from the acid of grapes and
emon juice, combined with 1ithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
drink, and nobody can
make a mistake by taking a little oc-
casionally to keep the kidneys clean

For answer his wife shook . bun
die Of bills in front Of him and then
smuggling up closely to him cooed:
kiss your little WHEY. Lennie dear,
because she certainly is . bright lit
tie business woman"
Thompson did as he was bid and
then he inquired what It was all shout
and she told him this:
This afternoon. about five O'Clock,
q man who said he was a dealer In
new and secondhand rugs, called here
and wanted to know II I wanted to
buy nice new rug. or If l had any
rugs I wanted to exchange or sell.
Il thought this might be a good
chance to get rid Of that Khiva you
got from Tom Seward, SO I showed It
to the man.
He looked at It rather doubtfulIy
for q minute or two, then asked me
how much I wanted for It.
Il told him SIS, but he gave IN
amused laugh. and, with a shake of his
head. said: TIL give you $50 for It,
lady, and that's about $40 more than
lie is worth I finally got your $50
back. and here 1t is.
Nov. don't you think that was rath-
er a clever piece Of business for your
little wife to do. all by herself?"
thompson admitted feebly that she
certainly was a clever little trader,
but inwardly he groaned as he thought
OF the 30 good, hard-earned dollars he
had lost on the transaction, and then
to cap 1t all, his wife added: And now
Leonard. l am going down to buy that
perfect love Of rug saw for $50 and
with the other SO I'm going to buy a
nice little everyday hat for myself,
mayn't II" And Thompson dazedly
said she might.
Next day at luncheon Barlow said
to the bunch: Say, fellows. to-mor.
rows my birthday and propose that
you all help me celebrate"
Next night they met and the dinner
was great success Barlow, as host
insisted that every man must "sing a
song or tell a story
Thompson's turn to do a stunt came
and as he was feeling happy as a re.
suit of few warming drinks. he de.
cfded that the best story he could tell
would be the joke on himself about
the way his wife sold the rug, and he
told 1t.
There never was an after dinner
story told in this gay old world that
was received with the tumultuous an
plause that greeted Thompson's. He
couldn't understand why it did go SC

that 1t was good joke on him.
1t was nearly two weeks afterward
before he did understand.

guests at the dinner party. just could

Stung Both Ways
Thompson Proved to Be
the Goat" First and Last

Thompson has great liking for
Khiva rugs, and during the five years
he has been married has INDUCED his
fondness to the extent Of four fine
Khivas, each of which is treasure In
itself and a source Of delight in the
Thompson household.
1t is, however, a well-known fact
that 1t Is possible to get too much of
a good thing, and Thompson had this
one evening, not long ago, upon ar
irving home breatEless with expec-
fancy at the pleasure his wife was ex-
periencing in the possession Of new
khiva rug he had that day sent out
to her.
Instead of shouts Of approval and
little "yips" of delight. he came upon
q much nonplused little woman who
inquired: Say, Leonard. why In the
world did you buy another Khiva?
We've got four already. Why didn't
you get some other kind of q rug?"
Thompson told her that he had
bought the rug at bargain. That
Tom Seward, a friend of his. rug
buyer, had picked it up cheap in New
York and. knowing his Thompson 81
weakness for Khivas, had brought 1t
along and had given it to him at actu-
al cost.
How much did it cost you, dear?"
asked Mrs. Thompson resignedly, and
Thompson, trying to make the best OF
bad slip, told her without tremor,
Only $50, dear"
In reality he had paid $50 for the
rug, which was one that would retail
for about $3.50.
Sixty dollars" echoed his wife.
Sixty dollars Why, Leonard Thomp-
son, do you mean to tell me that you
paid $50 for that rug? Why, goodness
me, the rug saw down town is much
handsomer than this, and do you know
what they ask for it? Only $50. Only
$780, she repeated, land l would soon
| err have it than two like this one and
besides, the pattern of this one is not
pretty at all; it's too shallow and II
| looks out of place alongside the rich
colors of our other Khivas. / do wish
you had said something to me about
1t before you went and paid out $50 for
rug l wouldn't give $40 for"
Thus matters stood, and Thompson
felt so bad about it that he told "the
bunch" the whole story next day al
lunch.
When he got home that night his
wife was at the door waiting for him
and she danced him gleefully into the
parlor and joyfully pointed to the
place where, on the previous evening
the disappointing Khiva lay.
There was no rug there, and Thomp
son stammered out: "Wh- where-what
did you do with 1t? Where has II
