intimately together for ten years

sometimes the instrument of slow tor

Death in Empty Tin Cans.

Washington, D. c.. April A.
The United States Public Health
Service announces that the tin
can is a menace. An official bull
letin says:
malaria experts of the United
States Health Service have found
that discarded tin cans contain
ing rain water are breeding places
for the mosquito, which is the
sole agent in spreading malaria.
"a hole in the bottom of the
empty can might have resulted in
the saving of a human life. Ger
tainly it would have assisted in
preventing a facilitating illness.
Empty tin cans have no business
about the premises anyway, but
if we must so decorate our back
yards let us see to it that the can
has a hole in the bottom"

SOLVES THE MAIL ORDER
PROBLEM.
Persistent Local Advertising, One
Thing Recommended for
Small Town Merchants.

"The only way in which the
merchants in country towns can
hope to compete with mail order
firms and the large department
stores of the cities is through a
cooperative study of the prob
lens Of merchandising" said j..
B. Powell, instructor in advertis-
ing in the University of Missouri,
in a recent speech before the Bust
ness Mems League Of Windsor,
Mo.
Mr.. Powell said there was no
reason in the world why bust
ness genius could not live in
country town and do business in a
country town as we'll as in large
city. He said that the local mer-
chant is on the ground floor and
that if he used the right kind of
business methods, carried depend
able merchandise, had the right
idea of service to his community,
and advertised in his local paper
persistently, he had an even bet
ter chance to succeed than the big
city store where competition is
keener.
Mr.. Powell is secretary of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of
Missouri, which is affiliated with
the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World. He frequently |
sends literature annd offers as
sistance in the organization of ad-
vertising clubs in cities and towns
of Missouri.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a glass Of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots Of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts Of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipatiou, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy !;
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate then
to normal activity; also to neutralize thu
acids in the urine so it no longer irri
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone

women take now and then to keep tn
