net. and a number of little girls came
to see her. Her new mother told them
that Arabella was very old and that
her mother played with her when she
was a little girl. But Arabella laughed
to herself. She did not feel old, and
she knew if her mother gave her
good care she would always look
young and feel young.
There came a day, however, when
her new mother became tired of her,
and she was left all day without be-
ing dressed, and sometimes she would
have to lie in bed for days at a
time with her eyes closed. At other
times she would be left in her car
riage all night, and there she would
sit, staring into the darkness, and
she would wish her new mother would
put her to bed so she could close her
eyes.
One night Arabella was left in her
carriage on the piazza all night.
"Oh, dear" thought Arabella. Il
will freeze out here in the night air"
And a big dog came up to her car
rage and shifted at her.
"Oh, dear! oh, dear" she cried.
What will / do? am SO afraid"
Then the dog licked her cheek and
took of some of the red. Poor Ara
bella almost tainted. but she sat quite
still and looked straight ahead, and
the dog walked away.
Arabella was glad when the day
light came, but the sun came also,
and her new mother did not move her
carriage. for she was busy making
mud pies on the shady side Of the
house. BY and by the sun crept up
to Arabella's carriage and then to her
feet, and finally all over her.
oh, dear" thought Arabella, will
no one save me? l shall melt. l
know I SHALL" but her new mother
was very busy with her cooking.
At lunch time the new mother ran
around to the front Of the house to
meet her father, and then she saw
Arabella, and such an Arabella you
never saw. Her new mother looked
at her, and ran into the house for
her mother to come quick and see
what had happened to Arabella. Poor
Arabella's face was changed, indeed;
the wax had melted and run down her
cheeks; she looked old and sad.
Il told you not to leave her in the
sum-" said the mother to the little
girl.
But can't her face be put in shape
again?" asked the new mother.
NO" said Arabella's first mother,
she is spoiled, and to think I played
with her for years, and she was as
good as new when l gave her to
you"
She took Arabella out Of the car
rage. You poor old dolly" she said.

her. THE children nowadays do not

child. I'll put you back in the attic"
she said, carrying Arabella into the
house, for | cannot put you in the
ragbag. Even if your face is spoiled.
you always will be Arabella to me,
no matter how you look"
So Arabella went back to the soft
cloth and the drawer, where she was
glad to be. for she was tired. and she
closed her eyes for a long sleep.

KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM

We are a nation Of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood OF this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative It's

tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead. and you have sting
ing pains In the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather. get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in
glass OF water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kid
neys 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 flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

Price of Print Paper
 Will Be Investigated

Washington, July 22.-Paper publishers throughout the country were invited to- day by the federal trade commission to be
 represented at hearing here August 1,
 at 10 a. m., on whether there has been an undue increase in the price of news print
 paper. The commission will conduct an
 exhaustive investigation of which the
 public hearing will be the first step.
 The investigation was ordered by reso- lution of the Senate.
 The committee has sent word to 20oO daily newspapers and 4000 weekly papers asking those who cannot appear to sub
 init any information they may have in | writing The commission wants specific
 information of prices, quantities and any ether facts bearing on the increase. 1 Field agents of the commission are ex- amining the accounts of paper manufac- turers in the United States and Canada l to deterInine the cost of production. profit, terms of sale and other questions Other investigators are seeking information from jobbers on cost of distribution. The extent of the increase, if any, in the foreign demand for news print paper, and whether war conditions have affected inn ports of wood pulp and paper, also are to be studied.
 The commission is using all employees it 1 has available to expedite the investiga- | ton and expects to report to the Senate by October l. The commission asks that any newspapers not receiving a copy of | the schedules it is sending out apply for ! them or forward any information to the 1 secretary.
