The result has been little pre-. paredness and considerable confusion. especially when some of the best men in the employ of the company are i'm. arisoned or killed.

BIG EATERS HAVE BAD
KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE
Take a Glass of Salts at Once II Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result Is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather Is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces OF Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with iithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
1t no longer is source OF irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot IN
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney
flushing any time.-Adv.

PROSPEROUS WITHOUT LIQUOR.

Butler, Mo-, is another town which
is demonstrating that prosperity fol-
lows prohibition. 1t is today, says the
Kansas City Star, "a better, richer
and more prosperous town than ever.
The merchants carry better stocks, the
business houses are heater, cleaner
and better; the people live in better
and more attractive homes and enjoy
life in more rational and healthful
ways. There are fewer idle people
and merchants have fewer bad debts.
when the saloons were voted out
Butler had bonded debt of something
like $4,000 on its electric light plant,
and notwithstanding the revenue
from it's four saloons, it was hard
matter to meet interest payments, and
the liquidation of the principal seemed
long way off. Since the closing Of
the saloons the debt has been paid
and many needed public improvements
have been made, and all without in
creasing the tax rate one penny. In
fact the tax rate is now lower than
ever before"

MONEY GOES FOR GROCERIES.

An interesting bit of testimony
comes from the section of Minnesota
which recently became dry through
what might be called an automatic
application of prohibition to region
where no election was held to settle
the question, namely, the enforcement
Of an old Indian treaty. Because Of
this action there is not now an open
saloon in Itasca county, and as a
result a marvellous reformation has
taken place. One year ago seventy
nine tons of beer were shipped in.
This year there was no beer, but the
books show that seventy-nine tons
more of groceries were consumed at
this point than during the correspond
ing month Of last year. The Mime
apolis Journal says that the records
of the mining companies, which en-
ploy the large population of foreign
ers, show fewer layoffs among the
men than ever before and the stores
report larger and more profitable bust
ness from these employees.

BUSINESS ON SUNDAY CLOSING.
Heads of the big industrial con-
Germs of Chicago see very direct re-
lation between the enforcement Of
the Sunday-closing law and the phys
ical and mental condition of their en-
ployees on Mondays, and naturally
they are not inclined to agree with the
liquorites' caustic criticism of the pur-
itanical, undemocratic law and it's en-
forcement. The men who manage the
great industries tell us that Sunday
drinking has meant lessened eff
cheney, decreased mental and moral
stamina, deprecated physical vigor
and the wasting of money and conse-
quent worry over financial conditions.
'"Our workmen now come to the
plants on Monday morning with clear
heads and rested bodies" said fore
man of Armour and Co., the big pack
ing house. ut was the complaint of
all packers before the saloons were
closed that many of the men either
did not show up at all on Monday or
reported with 'hangovers' that re-
duced their efficiency SO per cent dur
ing the day, and affected it for sew
eral days thereafter Now the men
are on hand Monday morning with
steady muscles, rested bodies and
minds, fit for their tasks"
Our workmen were all on hand last
Monday for the first time in years"
said one of the foremen of the Illinois
Steel company, the week after the
Sunday-closing law was enforced.
when we asked them what caused
the change they said they had moth
ing to do Sunday but rest for Mon
day. Besides, most of them had
enough Of their wages left not to need
to ask for advances before the next
week ended
1.-THE closing Of the saloons is boon
to industry" said one of the depart
ment managers of the International
Harvester works. when the en-
ployees have had time to note it's eff
feet, they will give it their heartiest
support"
1.-THE direct effect on the building
trades is that about rs per cent more

In one county the increase in the
