QUIT MEAT when
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take n Glass of Salts Before Break
fast If Your Back Hurts or Blad-
der is Troubling You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become over-worked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the
taste and poisons from the blood, then
We get sick. Nearly all rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble, nervousness,
richness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in glass
OF water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with 1ithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iujure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

Close to my heart come place your cal
And listen well. Can you not hear
The longing of the cool of night
When breezes light
And golden moon
In sky, star-streWn,
Come night to make you weep? Strange
seems
The real tangled so with dreams
And laughter hear from years in tune
With wakeful sorrows subtle tune
You heard, when passions fire had died
and soul decried
The garish fame
That seemed the same
AS loves own fire, that in life's race
Thrusts out a weak, distorted face.
Hear beauty's song of light and shade,
Ow day and night that God hath made,
OF flowers shedding scents divine,
OF dew-drops' shine,
Of singing birds, =.
OF love-warmed words,
and all the wondrous wild'ring things,
The hour from her fair bosom filings.
And hear that little summer breeze
That soothes the work-worn wings OF
bees;
The chimney's song on winters night,
The rune of might,
The owlet's tune
In moon-mad June,
The whirl and whir of Things to Be
From tiny acorn to the tree.
Hear waves that romp from shore to
shore,
The COON and bang of thunders roar,
The sunsets Groom on sleepy sea,
The soughing tree,
The lure of land,
And greeting hand,
And in my heart when singings cease,
The aftermath of strife-sweet peace!

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a tri1e less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If cheap baking powder is used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
