SALTS If BACKACHY

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region

authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter il from the blood and they
become 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 urnous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spellH;
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.

obliged to seek relief two or three

Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your piar.

take tablespoonful ina glass of water
before breakfast for few days and

pointed receiver by Judge Galloway Of
the Horticultural Fire Relief Of Ore

ed 10 accept Mr. Wells resignation,
however, IN the grounds Of economy

NURSE At FRONT
WRITES TO FATHER
Henry Hill, Living Near Salem,
Receives Interesting Let
ter From Daughter

That the graduate nurses who 90 to
war do not all have a hard time is
evident from letter just received by
Henry Hill, living on route I, from his
daughter, who joined the British ex-
peditionary forces, now in service in
France
After stating how well pleased she
was to receive letter from home, and
how, although served with army ra-
tions, she is living very comfortable,
she writes in part:
"We are at Rouen, France, which is
SO miles from the firing line, so we
are not deluged with shells, as some
people imagine. This hospital, with
three others, is spread out on a race
course. Don Z imagine that we do moth
ing but play. We come in fG a little
work now and then, although the hos
pital has been very slack for the past
fortnight. When we say slack we mean
we get conveys of wounded only about
twice week instead of nearly every
day.
''You ask what people here say about
the war and how they look when they
say it. They say very little about the
war. In fact, lis about the last sub.
ject mentioned, and most of them know
very little more than people in Eng
land. OF course, one could give many
interesting facts which do not appear
in the papers, but | am afraid the cen.
sor is getting nervous, so won 7 col.

EXCELLENT WAY OF READING
ing Without Getting at Intention
of His Words.

When you come to a good book,
you must ask yourself: Am l in
clineo to work as an Australian miner
would? Are my pickaxes and shovels
in good order, and am l in good
trim myself, my sleeves well up to the
elbow, and my breath good, and my
temper? And, keeping the figure a
little longer, even at cost of tiresome-
ness, for it is a thoroughly useful one,
the metal you are in search of being
the authors mind and meaning, his.
words are as the rock which you have
to crush and smelt in order to get at it.
And your pickaxes are your own care,
wit and learning; your smelling fur
mace is your own thoughtful soul. Do
not hope to get at any good authors
meaning without those tools and that
fire; often you will need sharpest,
finest chiseling, and patientest fusing,
before you can gather one grain Of
the metal. John Ruskin, in Sesame
and Lilies"

TOO TAME FOR YOUNGSTERS
Former British Golf Champion Saw
Game Has Few Attractions for
the Average Youth.

Harold Hy Hilton, the former
British champion, in an editorial in
the golfing magazine of which he is
the editor, expresses the opinion that
golf is a game that possesses few at
fractions for the average boy.
Hilton believes that the boy who
plays golf receives much benefit
therefrom, but he thinks that most
boys prefer more active sports in
which their youthful enthusiasm can
find natural outlet.
In view of the boom which the
junior tournament idea is passing
through on this side of the Atlantic
just now the great British golfers
idea is particularly interesting He
says in part:
Youth demands a vigorous outlet
for the natural fund of animal spirits
which is present in nearly every boy
of tender years, and it can hardly be-
said that the game of golf supplies a.
sufficient outlet for the vigorous en-
thusiasm of youth. 1t has few of the
characteristics which appeal to the,
true, natural boy, and notwithstand-
ing the outcry against the advisable
lty of allowing schoolboys to play the
game, we cannot believe that it will
ever become supremely popular with,
the youth of the country unless some
subtle change is taking place in the
characteristics of the boyhood Of
Great Britain.
But Notwithstanding the absence
OF discipline, that it is an excellent
training foundation for the young, un-
matured mind, we are thoroughly
convinced, as it teaches the boy to-
act for himself, and it teaches him
control and self-discipline, and the
latter is the very soul and core OF
all forms of discipline

ners. One OF these pieces with the
runners is fastened to one end of the,
board, the other is attached with a
bolt in the center. The 1% by Pinch
piece, IL inches long, is fastened
across the top of the board at the
front end. A rope fastened to the
knees of the front runners provides a
means of steering the sled.
The sled can be quickly made, and
it will serve the purpose well when
an expensive one cannot be had.
