AT THE MINES

From sources Of informa-
ton available it looks as if
April | will come without a
new agreement between
operators and miners.
Whether this will precipitate
a strike is a difficult ques-
ton to answer. Perhaps
an automatic cessation of
work until an agreement is
reached. In any event the
cost of any concessions will
have to be paid by the con-
suner.
Scarcity of labor owing to
the war and shortage of cars
TO transport coal to the mar
kct have made the situation
bad enough, let alone threats
OF a strike.
Buy coal now while there
is plenty of it available.
Thousands of tons now
stored in our yards.

STOP EATING MEAT If

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other. says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid In meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts Of distress. particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges. severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or II bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
lad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
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 has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine SO 1t no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

in the streets in all kinds of weather.
A great majority of the little news
boys are orphans. Their fathers and
mothers have laid down their burdens
early and the little brood is thrown
on the world to live or die as God sees
fit.
Selling papers is the first thought
that occurs to the child, and thus the
struggle of life begins with him. II
he has luck enough to dispose OF the

has earned enough for bed for the
night in the "Newsies' Home" a roll

Failing in this, he wanders into some
hallway or seeks shelter in O dry
goods box, where the compassionate
angel of sleep finds him, touching his
eyelids till they close against the
worlds sorrows in dreamless. untrou-
bled sleep.
Only heaven knows his longings as
he sees other lads of his age walking
beside strong fathers or holding the
hands of loving mothers. His life is
too much of a hustle to take time to
think long over his misfortune or to
be envious. Only when pain comes
to him do the tears force themselves
down his brave little face, and he
longs for Just one kiss from mothers
lips, one touch of a caressing hand and
word Of kindness.
In his strenuous life, he must stand
up and battle with the strongest of
his kind if he would not be trodden
under foot. He learns to hurl back
taunts and insults hurled at him. his
childish lips lisping oaths that he
knows not the meaning of, repeating
the language of the bullics OF the
street.
He does not understand why the
men and women hurrying by frown at
him, give him shove or cruel word.
He keeps back the tears SO braye!y
that they think he does not care. Shiv-
ering alone in some narrow hallway,
in which he thinks he has escaped
the lad of the street looks up at the
stars, vaguely wondering why he had
no home, no mother or father. no one
on earth to whom he is dear or who
cares If he lives or starves.
He is grateful for even the momen-
tary companionship of stray dog who
is friendly, and who seems to want to
cling to him and share his fortunes.
He is the prey of the older, tougher,
well.seasoned street gamins. There is
no temptation known to unprotected
boy life that he does not face. aye, and
make his way through-to fall or live
through them. He knows nothing of
the sweet, childish joys of the lads
who have homes and are cared for.
When he reaches manhood he has
gone through the entire schooling OF
sorrow, but he never forgets the mem
ory of kind word and smile when
life was darkest and hardest. They
have often been the turning point In
such a lads career, the one bright
CLEAN in a dark, lonely childhood,
lighting the lamp Of hope in his heart
that all people in this cold world were
not heartless.
