TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel
Backachy or Bladder Trou-
bIes You; Salts is Fine
for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which eXciteS
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally, You must re-
lieye them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for separations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts

HERE'S IOMORROW's LESSON

OF heather RIGHTEOUSNESS. Roman
prison bars could not confine it nor
could the fires of Roman persecution
destroy it. The survival and triumph
ant progress of Christianity is an evi-
dence of its divine origin and inspira-
ton. We may also receive lesson
from Peters self-imposed restraint
and escape from the scenes of perse-
cution. Gods Intervention and the
promises of His word are not intended
to embolden the reckless, but to en-
courage the faithful We should
never take unnecessary risks. Never
expect the Lord to do for us what
we can do for ourselves. The ques,
ton may be asked, "Why was the
death of James permitted" Why
should Peter be spared and James
left to his fate? Another question OF
the same character arises. IF the
church had the power to cure disease
without material remedial agencies
why were not all the sick restored
to health?" We may never know the
reasons that prompt divine interior
ence. God moves in mysterious ways
His wonders to perform. But may not
the necessity of maintaining proper
balance of faith and dependence on
one hand and reckless self-re1iance
on the other suggest a possible an
sWer to these questions. A proper
recognition of our own responsibility
| in the matter of our salvation is i'm
| portant. Work out your own sal
| walton, for it is God that worketh in
j; you both to will and to work" are
scriptures that suggest the two forces
that must be properly correlated.

To START SUNDAY

Mission by the Dominican Fathers
starts tomorrow morning in ST. Mary's
Catholic church and viii continue for
two weeks. The first week for women
and the second week for men.
What is known as mission in the
Catholic church is something akin to
a spiritual revival in the Protestant
church. To the Catholic mind the
idea of mission denotes that function
of PASTORAL activity which seeks to
enlighten the mind, to impress the
truth of religion in a more earnest

Sunday School Lesson, April 80.
Lesson text, Acts 1918. Golden
text: The Angel of Jehovah En-
camped Round About Them that Fear
Him. and Delivereth Them" Ps. BAT.
In the incident here recorded we
meet a new enemy Of the infant
church. The first persecution was
waged by religious partisans in Jeru-
salem. The Jewish leaders could not
check the progress of Christianity by
opposing its claims and SO attempted
to stamp 1t out by persecution. The
church was scattered but the apostles
remained. Now the civil authority
takes a hand. Herod, the Roman gov
ernor, is a fit instrument for the work.
He strikes at the head of the new
sect. He beheads James and impris-
ons Peter. He probably knew of the
! escape of the apostles from former
Imprisonment recorded in Acts 5. He
therefore took unusual precautions to
secure Peter beyond any possibility
of escape. Prison bars, chains and
guards in greater force than usual
were to hold him secure until the
Passover feast was ended. Then he
would be tried, condemned and exc
cuted. But Power which Herod
had not reckoned with interviewed and
Peter was released from prison and
made his escape. Peter wisely went
to another place" after assuring his
| disciples of his safety.
! He was not emboldened by his re-
| lease to defy the authorities unneees-
| sarily What practical lessons may
| this incident teach us? 1t should do
more than inspire awe of the majesty
and power of God, or raise the ques-
/ ton of the, possibility or probability
| of the miracle. First, we are re-
minded of the inherent power of truth
and right. We know that Christianity
| has survived the opposition of most
| powerful foes. In its earliest infancy
two powerful and venomous foes
| twined themselves around it's very
cradle But with superhuman strength
! it rent off the coils of Jewish big,
otry and stifled the poisonous breath
