SO they sluggishly filter or strain only

all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-

come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
The urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular of passage or at

about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a,

kidneys will then act fine. This IA

grapes and lemon juice, combined with

CAUSE OF HIS DOWNFALL.
The Bargain Counter Was Response
BILE for the Pink Shirt.


Washington Star: He went to his
desk in the treasury department one
DAY wearing a violently pink madras
shirt. 1t was solid pink, without a break
anywhere. 1t is true that he had tried
to hide it all under a big black neck
tie, but some of it shone through the
openings of his waistcoat at he neck.
Even that little was sufficient to cause
a connection. The women In the room
looked shocked and the men began to
confer about the matter in a mysteri-
GUS manner as if an unhealthy intruder
he'd come into their midst. Finally one
of them edged up to him and asked:
Anything the matter at homer"
He couldn't understand the question,
but he said that everything was ali
right.
How much did you win or lose last
n1ght?' another one asked, after he had
move up in an aWe-Stricken manner.
on he asked, but received
no reply to his question, and his in
terrogator merely looked at him in a.
SAD kind of way.
Playing the races by wire, are you?"
inquired a third one of his friends, who
had c~uriously kept aloof from him, ex-
cept to edge around and ask one Of
these apparently silly questions.
L don't play the races, and you
know it," he said, land why all this
fool business among you people?"
Nothing more vas said for a while,
and then a fourth friend walked
around and inquired:
Promoting pugilists now, keeping a
pawn shop or living a double life
This question was sufficient for him
to demand an explanation, and then
his friends gathered and explained to
him that this terrible pink shirt had
caused those who knew him to fear
that he was either losing his mind or
had at last become a sport in the full
est sense of the word.
Then for the first time he felt the
degradation tina had fallen upon him.
With tears in his eyes, and gathering
himself together, he made this state
ment:
My downfall is due to bargain DAYS
in the stores. These bargains are the
aus of womankind and mankind. T
saw where q certain store was selling
s1.50 shirts for 80 cents. That was too
tempting, and l went to see the shirts.
The salesman demurred when 1 told
him they were too red. They just suit
your complexion he said, and they
are the best bargains we ever offered,
We are selling them merely because
they are broken lots Inc because their
color Is a little strong. But all fashion,
able men wear them ALI this had moth
ing to do with it, however. The thought
of getting s1.50 for 80 cents was too
much, n l bought something 1 didn't
need or want. Then I concluded to
wear h shirt just to get something out
Of it. / realize That I have done wrong,
and / ask my friends to remember the
cause of this downfall"
When he finished a great splotch Of
tears fell down on his table of figures
on treasury appropriations and he
sobbed aloud.

SEASON OF PERIL.

OF curse everybody knows that =
grip year is a season of peril for old
people and d%runkards- Is it a season
of truce for babies? No. The Chicago
health department bulletin, dated
Christmas day. 1915, tells us what
killed the babies in 1914.
Leading the list was diarrhoea.
Rather a close second was congenltal
defects and accidents of birth-the
babies who died before they had well
begun. A close third came cold and
pneumonia.
Colds and pneumonia killed 1886
babies in 1914, while all such forms of
c~ontagion as whooping cough, measles,
scarlet fever and diphtheria only killed
235.
AT this season of the year colds and
pneumonia kill more babies than does
diarrhoea, teething, or anything else.
Diarrhoea is the summer terror to the
mother of a young baby. Colds and
pneumonia are her winter terrors.
Is this death rate necessary? No.
The mothers who take courses on in
rant care in the public schools, in
observation-disclosures leagues, who at
tend the Infant Welfare stations, or
who study the subject in books know
how to prevent summer complaint in
their babies.
There are parts of every city where
there is practically no baby death rate
from summer complaint.
The next step is to get mothers
equally interested in preventing colds
and pneumonia in babies. Grown PEG
pie get much of their pneumonia from
crowds, babies, except hospital babies,
do not get pneumonia from crowds.
BABIES do catch colds from other peo-
pie. The older children come home
from hoo with colds or the father gets
a cold at the office. The chance is ex-
cellent that the susceptible baby will
have a cold a few days later.
The first lesson for the mother to
learn is that colds should be quaran-
tined out of the nursery. No easy job,
! admit, where there are several chill
dren and the house is small and the
few.
Babies catch colds from o~verheated
rooms. If a young baby develops a cold
the chance is that the cause is some
thing other than an ordinary infection.
A physician should be called at once,
as the probability is that the baby has
a serious ~congenital disease.
After the first week in the summer
time and after the first month at other
seasons of h year the baby should
nave some open air during every day
that is at all fit.
The temperature of the nursery
should be several degrees lower than
adults permit Of. Temperatures over
20 which adults stand for months
Without serious disadvantage cause
babies to get a cold within a few
days. Perhaps the reason is that every
ADULT not a shut in gets a bit of open
air every day. The baby is a shut in
unless somebody makes it a business
to see that it is not. The windows Of
the nursery should be opened and the
air lushe out at short intervals.

again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.

him to leave off coffee and take

a few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee. Name:

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom
bustible material In the form of ashes,

uay leaves In the alimentary canal a
certain amount Of indigestible mate.
rial, which If not completely eliminat-
cd from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass Of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet Of bowels the previous days
accumulation of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, ~biliousness, constipation,
others who wake UP with bad taste.
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is sutfi-
Gent to make anyone an enthusiast
on, the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be.
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
