Forgetting Things Learned in Haste.


To commit points" to memory dur
ing a few hours or days Of intense APP
plication Immediately preceding an ex-
animation, for instance, little or no
work having been performed during
the previous course of the term, is a
bad mode of study, say scientists.
Things learned thus in a few hours,
on one occasion, for one purpose, can
not possibly have formed many asso-
Citations with other things in the mind.
Their brain processes are led into by
few paths and are relatively little
liable TO be awakened again. Speedy
oblivion is the almost inevitable fate
OF all that is committed to memory
in this simple way.

Folks who are accustomed to feel

The millions of people who are both

who have sallow skins, blood disor-

to get a quarter pound of limestone

drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation-Adv.

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KlDMEY-BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec.
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
If Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the bodys urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, SO we can readily understand
the vital Importance Of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure: makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking.
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and

Dorcas did not take after her moth
er, Mrs. Carter always explained when
apologizing for her daughters wall
flower tendencies.
Dorcas was like her father-thln,
brown, serious-eyed and sensitive. Her
fathers side of the house also was to
blame for her name, which the school
children derisively shortened to Dor
ky" The name belonged to Mr.. Car
ters aunt, killjoy sort of a person,
who sent Dorcas union suits and nit
tens at Christmas time.
Although Dorcas, being eleven years
old, had undergone five ordeals of the
Valentine box, Mrs. Carter never was
able to understand why her daughter
came home each time without any
trophies of masculine alteration.
Sometimes Dorcas fancied her moth
er had been like Clara Jane. a freckled,
tomboy girl. When Clara Jane was
winked at she Immediately waved her
hand in the air indignantly and blurt-
ed out, THAT old Happy F'innegan's
winkin' at me, and if you don't make
him stop I'll slap his face"
Miss Stanton interrupted, sentenc-
ing the impetuous Clara Jane to fif-
teen minutes stay after school for her
rudeness.
But at Ais Clara Jane found the
same freckled urchin who had winked
his blue eyes at her waiting outside to
carry home her books.
And so it came February IS. Mrs.
Carter made the discovery at the din

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little ''insides' are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach. liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach. and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.

of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies. children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

Caused hY Disease of the kidneYa

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 poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease of brain or lungs.

risk to send 10 cents for large trial
