KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM
EATING TOO MUCH MEAT
Take Tablespoonful Of Salts II Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers--Meat
Forms Uric Acid.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on "a ard 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 tis-
sues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire 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
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces OF
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in
glass Of water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kid
neys 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 flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.-Adv.

Synthetic Eggs.

An Austrian scientist of Graz is
said to have been making synthetic
eggs. He has been able to extract the
albumen contained in the blood of
bullocks, sheep, pigs, and other ami
mails slaughtered for human consump-
ton, and to present it in such form
that it has no trace of its origin,
either in taste or smell. AS prepared
by his system, it is a coarse, yellow
powder to which he has given the
name of haematalb. His process has
already been applied in a number of
German and Austrian abattoirs, and
haematalb is in use in many hospitals
of the central empires as substitute
for eggs. 1t .dissolves in water, and
can also be used in the preparation of
pastry and other dishes.

TELEPH0NING FROM THE BODY
French Scientist Has Made a DiseoV-
cry Which Has Interested His
Brother Professors.

Professor d'Arsonval lately present
ed to the French Academic de Mede-
cine an interesting series of researches
made by DR.. ]. Glover upon a new
method of telephoning in which the
microphone transmitter is placed
against the human body. He had the
habit of making an auscultation of pa
tients by using a telephone transmit
ter placed upon the body, while the
observer listens in the receiver, and
found that when the person spoke his
voice was heard in the receiver much
more distinctly than in the usual way
of speaking before the microphone.
In fact, the sounds are transmitted
better by the body than through the
air, and all outside noises are elimi-
mated such as often cause disturb
ances. Thus it is an easy matter to
telephone with face and hands free
and with the transmitter applied, say,
on the chest or back. In this case the
voice is heard in the receiver with re.
markable clearness, and this precision
is also shown by the oscillograph
curves which he made. Such a meth
cd of telephoning might possibly be
put to practical use.

Hair Turns White in a Might.

That hair ever turns white in sin
gle night has been emphatically de-
MED by some doctors, in spite of his
toric instances-such as that of Marie
Antoinette-to the contrary. But Doc
tor Lebar called the attention of the
Societe Medicale des Hopitaux of
Paris to an actual case. 1t was that
of a young French soldier who was
blown into the air by a mine and
buried in the earth, from which he
extricated himself with difficulty.
The man was deafened by the deto-
nation, his face was burned, and there
were several bruises on his head. He
was taken to neighboring hospital,
where the following day he noticed
four islets of white hair on the fronto-
parieto-occipital region of his head.
The loss of color was complete from
the roots to the ends of the hairs, and
the white hairs were as firmly in his
scalp as their brown neighbors.

declined from 200.7 per 100000 popula-

would indicate, the association claims.
that the antituberculosis movement or
ganized in the last ten years is hav-
ing a marked effect on the mortality
Of tuberculosis, especially since the
death rate from this disease seems to
be declining more rapidly than the
general death rate from all causes.
Commenting on this decrease in the
rate from tuberculosis, the bureau of
the census says: "As a result of a
more general understanding of the
laws of health, the Importance of fresh
air ETC.. due in part, no doubt, to the
efforts of the various societies for the
prevention of tuberculosis. there has
been most marked and gratifying
decrease during recent years in the
mortality from this scourge of civil.

to 1914-the death rate from tubercu-
losis in all it's forms fell from 200.7
to 1868 per 100000, the decline being

Former Health Officer Writes

cial's Duty, He Declares.

There Is Need of Improyeing
COmmunity's Physique.
No City Can Afford to Neglecl
Babies and W0rkingmen. +

Civic ADMINISTRATIONS that compel
public health officers to devote a con-
siderable portion of their time to the
treatment of individual cases of sick
poor are vigorously attacked by Dr.
Harold B. Wood, who recently served
a short but tempestuous career as city
health officer and who is now Assoc
ciated with the state board of health
In a statement which appears in q
current issue of kansas Municipa1f-
ties" DR.. Wood calls attention to the
urgent necessity of permitting pub
lie health officer to devote all mis-
time and energies to guard public
health
The problem of giving medical at
tention to the poor is foreign to the
duty of the health officer, and should
not be used tC absorb his time," Dr.
Wood declares. The method which
is applicable for this INDECENT care
depends upon the population af-
fected''
A satisfactory method of handling
many Of these cases, DR.. Wood be-
lieves is through dispensaries, which.
he says, are practical even in the
smallest town. He also suggests that
| in obtaining surgical attention for
persons taken to the city prison, part
of the fine extracted from these Of
renders be used as a means of pro-
V1C1ng for the surgical services.
THE guarding of public health.
however, is an entirely different prop
osition from treating the sick poor"
DR.. Wood declares. This work is for
all people of all estates and, as is the
purpose of the fire department, IL for
preventing the confla grafton from be-
| coming widespread. The active meas
ures to be pursued include the discov-
| cry of all communicable diseases and
their complete control; putting the
water, milk and food supplies upon a
firm basis, and the education of the
people in the causation of disease,
and the methods of transmission and
| means of prevention.
| supplemental to this is the inn
provement of the community phys
| ique, the raising of the physical stand
ard and the increase of the individ-
uaIs resistance. This is accomplished
by parental instruction given by Wis.
| iting nurses, by physical examinations
of school children and by instituting
| home and factory hygiene.
| Briefly, these outline the work for
| the health officer and clearly indicate
| the size Of the problem before him.
| With this program mapped out, it is
evident that a health officer cannot
| devote much time to the care of ia-
! 1igent sick if he hopes to gain much
n his duty to the whole community.
| ;esides these general problems. every
| community has its own questions for
olution, and these special activities
squire much time.
The whole time health officer is,
| therefore,, the solution of the whole
matter. No community can afford to
| neglect its babies, it's children, its
| mothers or it's workingmen unless it is
suffering and death. The practicing
| physician has neither the time, the
| inclination nor rarely the training nee
essary for the work.

several months, the agent is fairly
familiar with the farming conditions
of the county and is acquainted with
the best practices of the best farmers
of the locality. Having a knowledge
of theory, as well as the practice, of
agriculture, he is often able to adapt
the information derived from one
farm for use on another.

specialists in some line. One, for in

Problems along these lines which the
agent may not be able to meet may
often be met by them 1t is but neces-
sary to get in touch with them in
order that the desired information
may be procured. This the agent
does by personal visits, by telephone,
through newspapers, by public meet

college is obtained"
