When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
II generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-knOwn
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinOus waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a 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 clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness

mortality, then shall be brought to
pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory.
o death, where is thy sting? o grave,

thou be with me in PARADISE, he was
opening the door of heaven to all the

to find glory, perfect life, perfect hap

And we vex our souls with wonder

reach out eager hands and cry: What

we understand with knowledge
born of God that we have caught a

life. so one day, from out all these

H HREE days have passed since
the death of Jesus on Calvary.
Gray dawn is streaking the
sky as they who so lovingly
watched him to his burying are max
ing their lonely way to the rock-hewn
tomb in the garden" All is still as
their sandaled feet sweep through the
dew-wet grass, the sweet spices in
their arms pertaining the chill air.
AS they go they~say one to the other:
who shall roll the stone from the
sepulcher?"
That question many hearts in every
age since have asked. Sooner or lat
er we all make the pilgrimage these
loving women made to the place
where rests all that is mortal of our
loved ones, and there arise in our
hearts the great questions about what
is beyond the tomb These questions
lie like heavy stones between US and
our departed dear ones, and we say:
who shall roll away the stone?''
The message Of Easter is an an
swer. The inspiration of Easter is
that we, too, find the stone rolled
away. We are often told that we err
to sorrow for our loved ones gone,
but this is not true. Jesus sorrowed
greatly with those who had met such
losses as ours He would not have
us sorrow as those who have no
hope, but he recognized that it would
be unnatural not to grieve. and I'M

For the angel of the Lord descend

friend, for you-me-that light might
burst from the darkness which holds
us, pointing the way to clearer
vision and truer faith; and the
music that started in heaven and in
earth when Christ came forth-victor
over sin, death and the grave-has
never ceased, and will never cease,
but go rolling on, grandly triumphant,
as long as earth shall last.
