WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat it's
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-tood in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
nom alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it.

GUT OUT MEATS
IF KIDNEYS ARE
TROUBLING YOU
Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys
and Irritates the
Bladder.
Noted Authority says we must
flush Kidneys with Salts
if Back hurts.

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 guard against kidney
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
singing pains in the back or the urine
is cloudy. full of sediment, or the
bladder is irritable, obliging you to
seek relief during the night; when you
dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stom-
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon
full in a glass of water before break
fast each morning and in a few days
your kidneys 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 neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer a
source of irritation, thus ending urin-
ary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.-Advertise

volunteered to assume full RESPONSE
bility for road construction. There
are no road taxes and the companies
have assumed this burden. They find
1T cheaper. The roads are construct
el along best-proven, scientific lines
and maintained on the same basis.
They are mostly paved with brick,
even those in the country. They are
kept in perfect condition. The COM
panies know that this is economy.
one would hardly expect coal min
ing, as an industry. to go hand in
hand with the spinning of silk. Yet
in most of these towns one supple
ments the other. The silk mill is to
he found in nearly every village. There
is reason. The coal mines offer no
employment for the wives and daugh-
ters of the miners. There is an
abundance of woman labor. The silk
mills locate here that they may draw
Npon the labor market thus provided.
This coal field of incompatible value
is now on fire. Far beneath the sur
face the flames are raging and slowly
spreading. The fire is in the upper
end of the field but is stealing stealth
lily toward the greater deposits It
has been burning for seventy years.

lions. Every device that science could
