TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid
Which Clogs the Kidneys and
lrritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu.
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-

Jad Salts is harmless inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble

TRADE REVIVAL IN
WESTERN CANADA
Not a Myth but an Actually
Shown in the Returns of Az
ricuIturai Statistics and
Every Department of
Trade and Com
merCe.

The trade revival in Manitoba. Sas-
katchewan and Alberta is an actuality
and not a myth. There is today a
spirit Of optimism ip the air, just as
two years ago there prevailed the op-
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
felt in every department of business in
the Prairie Provinces. The agricul-
turists are in better shape than they
have ever been before in their lives.
No farmers of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta The farmers have
harvested record crop-a crop which
enriches them to the extent of some
thing over s400,O00O00.
In the cities the prosperity of the
country has been reflected. Every
where business is on the hustle. The
wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good
The banks and other collection houses
find collections satisfactory, and finan-
cial men declare tSat westerners are
paying up their debts. In Winnipeg
the bank clearings have been the iarg-
est in history, exceeding some weeks
the figures of Montreal and Toronto.
The grain shipments have been the
biggest in the history Of Winnipeg and
in the history of the twin ports, Fort
William and Port Arthur. The mail
order houses have had big year, the
rush of fall orders exceeding all previ-
Gus years and taxing the capacity of
these establishments, whose most san
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done
The tide has turned in western Can
ada. The people of the West are
forging ahead, forging ahead in actual
production and in creation of wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds, paying up their back
debts, while going along carefully as
regards any creation Of new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
ing, acting cautiously but not misery.
The financial heads of eastern Canada
OF the United States and of Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstintedly offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada,
and it has been published to the world.
The condition Of western Canada at
the close of 1915 is one Of optimistic
prosperity, backed by the same deter
mination of western people to 60 on
increasing their productiveness and
maintaining the records which they
have already established.
The trade revival of western Canada
is the happiest feature in the business
survey of the whole Dominion for 1915
and in the outlook for 1916.-Adver-
tisement.

Surely Did His Best

A philanthropic man visited penal
institution and was permitted to say
few encouraging words to one of tbs
prisoners.
Il am afraid my poor man." said
the philanthropist, that you didn't
make the fight that you should have
made to save yourself"
"Oh, yes, | did" was the quick re-
joinder of the prisoner. Il did my
level best"
Il am afraid not" retorted the phi
lanthropist sighfully. Had you strug-
gled just little harder you might
have been a free man today"

shaking his head. 1T look seven cops

"Hah Do 2"

Among the recruits to Kitchener's
army are, of course, many who are
ignorant Of all military etiquette.
One of these was sitting alone in
the messroom when the colonel
stalked in. The Tommy" was seated
on the edge of the table swinging his
legs and putting at a cigarette. The
only move he made was jerk of the
head, while he grunted something

The recruit was frankly surprised.
He even took the cigarette out of his
mouth as he answered apologetically:

Almond ard Celery Soup.-Cut in
fine pieces the whole of a bunch Of
celery, leaves and root. Add six
pepper corns, a bay leaf, tablespoon
full of scraped onion or onion juice, a
thin slice of lemon, a teaspoonful Of
salt, and stick of cinnamon. Cover
with a quart Of water and cook one
hour Strain and reheat, stirring in
a cupful of cream, a teaspoonful each
of flour and butter mixed to a cream,
add a quarter of a cupful of blanched
almonds that have been pounded to
a paste; boil for two minutes after the
nuts are added. Serve very hot with
a spoonful of whipped cream sprinkled
with a few finely shredded almonds.
Serve with cheese crackers.
Artichoke Soup.-Take four medium
sized artichokes, wash them, boil I'M

very fine and add to some water in
which cabbage has been boiled add
two grated carrots, minced onion, a
blade of mace, a tablespoonful of
mushroom catchup, a dash of pepper

add dash of tabasco sauce and a

A most nourishing soup may be
made of dried peas, beans, or lentils;
soak them until soft, then cook in
enough water to make good PURGE
after putting through sieve, adding
a slice of onion or celery for flavor
while cooking. By adding milk to
the PURGE of peas one has a most tas-
ty cream of pea soup.

trial package (10c). If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him a

symptoms DR.. Pierce's chemist will
examine it, then DR.. Pierce will report
to you without fee or charge.
NOTE. -" Anuric" is thirty-seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
