He paused and waited, anticipating
furious denial or attempt at refuta'
ton; such would, indeed, have been
the logical development of the temper
in which she had descended to con-
front him
Rather than this, she seemed calmed
and sobered by his charge; far from
resenting it, she appeared disposed
to concede its fairness; anger deserted
her expression, leaving It intent and
grave. She came quietly into the room
and faced him squarely across the

Thrill of Being Wet

There is something rudimentary and
fundamental about having water
splashed down upon one, and getting
completely and deliciously wet. Not
damp, not moist. but wet, wringing
wet. You yourself when a child never
enjoyed anything so much as your
first drenching in an unforeseen and
unavoidable rainstorm--the thrill of
being wet. the cool drive of the water
on your nose, into your sleeves, and
down your neck: and the Joyous

DRINK LOTS OF WATER
TO FLUSH THE KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for
Backache or Bladder Trouble
Neutralize Acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps OF
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the kid
neys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you leel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces Of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
nous salts Is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so It no longer is a source of irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
Kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid

Farmers are paid every month at
an average price Of thirty cents per

to ideals:
Young men, life is before you.
TWO voices are calling you-one COM
ing from the swamps of selfishness
and force, where success means death,
and the other from the hilltops of
justice and progress, where even fail
ure brings glory. Two lights are seen
In Your 'hOrizOn-One the fast fading
marsh light Of power, and the other
the slowly rising sun Of human
brotherhood. Two ways lie open be-
fore you-one leading to an ever low
er and lower plain. where are heard
the cries of despair and the curses
of the poor. where manhood shrivels
and possession rots down the posssesor
and the other leading off to the high
lands Of the morning, where are
heard the glad shouts of humanity
and where honest effort is rewarded
