IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take q gns Of
Salts to flush out Kidnsys-
Drink plenty water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like Jumps Of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush of the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first Sou feel dull misery in the kid.
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots Of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take q tablespoonful
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 clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts lie inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

The effect of the present prosperi-
ty of the country upon farm values is
shown by new figures issued by the
department of agriculture.
The value of farm lands in the
United States today, without improve
ments, is estimated at $45.55 per acre,
as compared with $40.S5 a year ago,
$40S1 two years ago, $3.50 thre years
ago, and $S623 four years ago. The
census put the average value of farm
land in 1910 at $32.4O an acre.
Increases have been general
throughout the United States, the
only noteworthy exceptions being or.
chard lands and some irrigated lands
in the Northwest, which apparently
had been nover-valued before.
The percentage increases in value
of farm lands in the past two years
by sections of the United States are:
North Atlantic states, 10 per cent;
eastern part of north central states,
per cent; western part of north CEN
trail states. IL per cent; south Allan
tic states, 10 per cent; south central
states, II per cent; far wetern states,
IL per cenn; entire United States,
11.5 per cent
The percentage increases in farm
land values in four years, that is
since 1912. are: North Atlantic states,
II per cent; eastern part of north
central states. % per cent; south At.
lantic states, 80 per cent; south cen
trail states, 25 per centffi for western
states, "a per cent; entire United
States, 257 per cen.
These estimates are based upon re-
ports from crop reporters of the bu-
reau Of crop estimates. There is lit
tie room to doubt that they are reas-
onably accurate.-St. Petersburg In

THE EASTER LILY MAY
BE SUCCESSFULLY GROWN
IN FLORIDA

For many years the lilies of Bermu.
da have taken precendence of any
flowers, for commercial purposes, with
the exception, possibly, of the orchid
which is found at its highest point of
perfection in South America. But
for the past few years the United
States Department of Agriculture has
been going into the lily business on
its own account, and has made the dis.
covery that the lily may be as sue
cessfully grown in this country as it
is now grown in Bermuda.
This discovery on the part of the
agricultural department may not seem
to be of any great Importance, but
when it is realized that in Bermuda
the cultivation of lilies is quite as
profitable as is the cultivation of on
ions, one may easily realize the value
of the industry, for the cultivation of
the Bermuda onion has come to be
one of the chief industries of the is
lands, and is worth hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars each year. The cult.
walton of the lily is proving equally
as profitable
II the Easter lily is grown in the
United States it may keep thousands
of dollars of good Aamericon money
here, which now go out to other coun-
tries.
In years gone by millions have been
spent in the United States in the pur-
chase of Easter lilies, in bulbs, in
Iplants and in cut flowers, and by raj
the greater portion of these millions
have gonen out of the country. But
recently the Department of Agricul-
ture has been ndoing all in its power
Ito keep these millions within it's own
borders by giving domestics growers
the opportunity of raising Easter lilies
at home.
Experiments carried on through the
department have been entirely sue
cessful proving not only that Easter
lilies can be grown satisfactorily in
this country, but also that portions of
this continent are better suited to
their growth than the countries orig
inally producing them. Pensacola

Railroads Garry Much Phosphate

Tampa, May 1.-The scarcity of
ships, due to the demand made by
the war in Europe, has shown itself
in Tampa during the first four
months of 1916. When coastwise
shipments of phosphate from this
port were checked up there was a de-
crease for the first four months of
this year, in comparison with the
corresponding period of 1915 of g.
sos tons.
The reason for this tremendous
falling off in the shipments to other
ports in this country by water is at
tributed to different things by diff
ferent people. Some claim the phos-
phate is not being bought because
of the scarcity of materials which
are mixed with it. Others say the
railroads in the north will not take
it from the vessels because of the
scarcity of cars. From other sources
come rumors that water rates have
advanced to such an extent that
shipping by vessel is prohibitive.
OF all these reasons, the last per-
haps is near correct than any of the
others. The demand for vessels and
the enormous rates the steamship
companies are receiving for carry
ing freight do perhaps make the
coastwise shipping of phosphate pro-
hibitive. Shippers who are fortunate
enough to have old contracts with

RISING FARM VALUES

Florida is growing faster and has
grown master for several years than
any other state in the union. One
reason for this is the growing value
of farm lands in nthe older states and
the cheaper lands in this state. In
Florida one can get plenty of good
land and on this one can grow almost
anything. The farmers from the old
er states are coming to Florida where
they can find a climate that is even
and land that will grow their crops.

the steamship companies are still
shipping phosphate by water, but
those whose contracts have expired
are unable to sign new ones at any
figure.
What is the result? Phosphate is
being shipped, it is being used all
over the country, and what will
come as surprise to a great many
is the enormous increase in the all
rail shipments over last year.
Where some 1900 cars were ship
ped by all rail in the first months
Of 1915, almost 1000 cars have
moved since the first of this year,
making the total coastwise and rail
shipments for this year about 2e5,-
600 tons against about 10000 for
the first four months of 1915, or
more than double the amount.
These figures give an idea of the
gains the railroads are making be-
cause of the European war, as well
as showing the increased demand for
phosphate. The phosphate companies
of this section are looking forward to
the close of the great European con-
flict. and preparations were begun
long ago to handle the tremendous
boom that will come to the phos-
plate industry when it will be pos
sible again to make shipments by
water.
