 der weakness

No man or woman who eats meat reg ularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma- tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous ness, constipation, dizziness sleepless- ness. bladder disorders come from slug gish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi- ment, irregular of passage or attended by sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any re- liable pharmacy and take tablespoon ful in 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, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation. thus ending bladder disorders

little creatures had greatly fallen off during recent years. Now, however, ow- ing to the insstent call for ferrets to kill the rats which swarm in the trenches in France and Flanders, the demand has jumped suddenly to far in excess of the supply, and prices have scared accord ingly.
 For sadly sufficient reason, and one that will be at once apparent to every body, the fashion for jet ornaments has been recently revived, more especially in the English border counties, with the re- suit that a one-time flourishing York shire village industry has been given a new lease of life. Amongst the Irish peasantry similar mourning jewellery is made from bog oak, the best varieties of which are nearly as black and lus- trous, and equally as hard, as the best Whtby jet. This, too, is now being turned out in increasing quantities in hundreds of lonely cabins in those dis tricts of Ireland where the raw material is found.

 The charcoal burner pursues his calling in the open air, and he works on an &C., cepted formula handed down from earliest times through many generations. Green oak logs only must be used, and these are all cut to the same size and stacked together in such a way as to form low, conicaly shaped heap.
 This is then covered with freshly cut turf, and set fire to; but it needs constant watching and attention, for if combus- tion proceeds too quickly the shoulder ing pile may burst into flame, when the resultant product will be, of course, not charcoal, but ashes. Ordinarily, if proper care be exercised, the calcining process is complete in about F hours; after which the stack is left to cool for a few days before being opened.
