When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
It generally means you have been eat

overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-

When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste. else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue Is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels Oft

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take q tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.

acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM

for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize

Marley, Manley, is that you?

Golden hung up his receiver and sat

gaze passed beyond those two strange

crouching figure Of an eavesdropper
clinging to the wistaria vines that
framed the huge window on the far
side of the room.
Manley, crossing the room on the
run, took the window, glass and all, in
one leap. He landed on a hydrangea

dropped to the grass beside him. The

Then Manley's senses came back to
him. and rolling over into the open
roadway, he took the camera from his
pocket and held it between him and
the disappearing touring car. He
pressed the spring, knowing that
his telescope lens would carry to the
waiting film the secret OF that mys-
FERROUS cars license number.
The Arrows of conflagration.
Jules Legar, in his role as master
of underworld activities, was both
adroit in his engagement OF the serv-
ices of others and painstaking in the
preparation of the field wherein they
should labor. Like the humble weasel,
he held that every warren should have
both an exit and an entrance.
So when Legar and his scientific
friend, DR.. Herman Stein, engaged
their triple-floor Office suite at the top
of the Central Tower building, they in
sisted on certain structural altera-
tions in those offices. Not only was
one of the largest windows comman-
deered TO. the installation of a
strangely complex apparatus used in
STEMS ele.tric wave-proJector (which
was annol need to be the latest i'm
provement on wireless), but the upper
and lower floors of the suites were
connected by a smooth-walled shaft
which, it was explained, would make
easier the passage back and forth OF
chemicals and apparatus needed by
the illustr.ous Doctor Stein in his
carefully guarded experiments.
Equally well prepared was Legar's
second base of activities, the secret
subcellar beneath the Owls Nest. This
second warren, deep as it stood un-
foreground, was also provided with a
secret passsgeway leading into wa
ter-gate ope ming on the East river it.

SECOND EPISODE
The House of Unhappiness.

The House of Unhappiness.
Enoch Golden, with all his millions,
was hard man. Those closest to him
commended that he had experienced
much to make him hard
The one person who stood in any
way intimately and personally con-
nected with Golden was his young pri-
waite secretary, David Manley. For
young Marley, often enough known to
his associates as "Davie," was both
incorrigibly youthful and engagingly
irresponsible. Golden, oddly enough.
secretly liked this youth for his fool
ishness. 1t brought a breath of hui
manity into his granite world of greed.
This youth was too much of an easy
going idiot, Golden held, ever to think
seriously of his own self-interest. He
was indolent and his Office hours were
erratic. He was brazen in his retorts,
and often enough laugh-provoking in
his antics. Yet with all his levity, this
same millionaire had found Manley's
judgments were sound and his discern
ment often startlingly keen.
bones" Golden admitted, when, con-
trary to lifelong habit of reticence,
he asked young Manley into the
gloomy splendor of his uptown home.
The thought lad even entered the
close-fsted old financier's head that
some day Manley might fall heir to his
useless millions, if only that disap-
pointingly facetious youth would once
become solemn enough to attend strict
ly to business.
For the boys a fool! There's no
doubt of that. And if don't look after
of him!"
Golden smiled little as he stepped
into his massively furnished library
and found young Manley curled up
i'm one of the great leather chairs
intently working over pocket
camera and quite oblivious of the tele-
phone bell shrilling from the rosewood
desk beside him. Golden, as he seated
himself at this desk and CURLY an.
swered the phone call, blinked with
mock disapproval at the youth bent
over the camera.
1t was not until he heard Golden's
great fist smite the rosewood desktop
that Manley looked up. The man of
millions was frowning over the letter
still in his hand.

The increase in women clerks

Nevertheless $1,000 more women are

only 1000 women employed in gov
