The Church a. Caterer.

Dubuque Times-Journal: A visitor
from another town, who at home is
an active worker in her church, re-
marked that her labors for that
organization had seemed uIsatisfact-
DRY this year. She had been busy all
winter with suppers and cake and
candy sales. Instead Of being a pro-
pagator of religion, the church seem.
ed to have become catering agency.
Formerly the phrase church worker"
referred to people active in teaching
Sunday school classes, or conducting
missionary meetings. Now it was
likely to mean one who gets up sup
pers.
These suppers would be served for
anywhere from 20 to So cents, AMI
half the material, contributed by the
members of the parish would be left
over Total receipts must have been
less than the value of the material
given. Also the labor of the workers
counted for nothing
1t was not merely the regular
church functions. The Boy Scouts
and the Campfire Girls and the Chris
tian Endeavor society. etc, all had to
have their sales. About every week
she was called on to make cake or
candy.

QUIT MEAT # YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take Tablespoonful Of Salts if
Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

We are a nation OF meat eaters and
our blood is filed 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 eliminatlve
tissues clog and thus waste is retain
ed 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 blader is irritable, oblinging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth
err, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces OF Jad Salts; take q Ia
b%lespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a rev
days your kidneys will act fine. TINS
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used Tor
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in urine so 1t is no longer a
source of irritation, thus ending
urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-wapr drink. and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known. nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
1t is a good insurance against such q
risk to send 10 cents for o sample
package of uAnuric" = the latest dis
covery of DR.. Pierce. Also send q
sample Of your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from
backache, frequent or scanty urine,
rheumatic pains here or there, or that
constant tired, WORKOUT feeling, it's
time to write DR.. Pierce, describe your
symptoms and get his medical opinion
without charge-absolutely free. This
HAnuric" Of Doctor Pierce's is found
to be 81 times more active than lithia,
for it dissolves uric acid in the system
rs hot water does sugar.
Simply ask for DR.. Pierce's Anurlc
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of uAnuric" is sure to
be Dr. Pierce's. You will indthe sigma

AS A WOMAN SEES IT
a RRIEND TO TEACHERS.
BY RHETA CHILDE D0RR,

- A fklENU "
In the quiet and picturesque town OF Southampton, which lies almost a
the eastern extremity Of Long Island, there lived until recently an aged man
who had a soft spot in his heart for the school teacher. Perhaps In his heari
there fingered a verdant memory for some teacher who had influenced his
childhood or 1t may be that some youthful romance conferred around a teacher
AT all events, Rufus Sayro never married. When he died a week or two
ago, he left q will deysing his entire estate, amounting to more than S2lIVO
for the benefit OF the school teachers OF Southampton.
The will provided for a modest burial, and a tombstone not over three
feet high. All the rest of the estate went to create a trust fund to be used
solely and exclusively for the payment Of teachers wages forever -
Mr.. Sayre was careful to say in his will that he did lot so devise MS
little fortune to relieve the taxpayers Of the burden OF paying the teachers
salaries. What he wanted to do was to give the teachers increased salaries
He wanted his native town TO have the best teachers obainabe and he
wanted them paid adequately.
OF course, the distant relatives of the late Mr.. sayre will probably con-
test the will. The income from the estate amounts to about $500 a year
and few Of us arr SO constituted that we can relish spending that much
money outside the family.
The relatives cannot plead that Mr. sayres action Is unprecedented
because 1t was a common thing, before the establishment Of pubic SCHOOLS
for wealthy humanitarians to leave large sums for education:
Almost all the large schools in England, now attended by sons OF gen.
tlemen who pay handsomely for the privilege. were founded by wealthy pat
rons for the free education OF poor boys and girls.
1t is q common thing today to leave money to colleges and Universities
Why should not a man leave money to elementary schools? Mr.. Sayre
mentioned teachers as his 'benefciaries, but in reality his wealth goes tr
the children. The children Of the town where he went to school will have
better Quotations, a better chance in life. a surer chance to grow up good
citizens. After all, Mr.. sayre did no. leave his money to the teachers-he
did not leave it exclusively to the children. He left it to Southampton. and
TO all places where southamptons children may settle That will certainly
ought to stand.

mad. Maurice, the Castles and Bonnie
Glass are secretly learning the skat-
ing art and experts are in demand in
the vaudeville houses.
There are many prominent skaters
in the Tenderloin but their skating is
of a different variety although they
are quite proficient in weaving in and
out swinging doors.
