SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which elogs Kidneys, then Back hurts and
 Bladder bothers you.

Most folks forget that the klansy1 like the bowels, get sluggish and eloege1 and need a flushing occasionally, sloe VI have backache and dull misery in tho kidney region, severe headaches, rhsu- matic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dio- orders.
 You simply must keep your kidnsys active and clean. and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidnV region, get about four ounces of Jed Salts from any good drug store hege, take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days anA your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the asid ef grapes and lemon juice, combined W91h lithia, and is harmless to flush cloQg6 kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irrita*es. thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpmsiye; makes a delightful effervescent ithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who belisvo in overcoming kidney trouble while 1t b only trouble.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right with the system full
 of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath?' you say. We'll. it Is guaranteed to per form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning. drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it. This is vefy excellent health measure. It is in- tended to flush the stomach. liver. kid neys and the thirty feet of intestines of the previous days waste. sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which If not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache. bilious attacks, foul breath, bad taste. colds. stomach trou- ble, kidney misery. sleeplessness, ini- pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone real crank on the subject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin. cleansing, sweetening and freshening. so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach. liver. kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside. because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood. while the bowel pores do.

 Farm manure is, without question the best fertilizer the farmer can put on his land. The oldest experiment. station in the world, located at Roth. amstead, England, has conducted ex perinents for many years comparing manure with various amounts of com mercial fertilizers. In one of these tests the plot receiving no manure or fertilizer of any kind yielded 131 oushsl Of wheat as an average for fifty years. The plot receiving 14 tons of manure per acre each year yielded 35.5 bushels as the fifty yeas average Another plot was treated each year with fertilizer costing S15. 20 per acre and produced 23.9 bushels of wheat. The only plot in the tess which produced as much wheat as the manured plot was one which received each year fertilizer at a cost of S29.S5 per acre This plot averaged 369 bushels of wheat per acre for fifty years Countless other experiments have shown that manure is a valuable fertilizer and should be preserved and used accordingly.
 The reasons for the effectiveness Of manure as fertilizer are apparent when it's composition and action in the soil is understood Plants require certain substances to make them grow just as animals must have food The most important of these substances are nitrogen phosphoric acid and pot ash These are commonly called plant foods because they serve as food for plants. A ton of average manure contains 10 pounds of nitrogen. five pounds of phosphoric acid and 10 pounds of potash These quantities may seem to be insignificant, but plants do not require very large amounts although a little of each is absolutely essential. If these mater ials are bought in commercial fertiliz- CTS they are expensive. At the GUS. tomary price for fertilizers the con stituents in one ton of manure would cost S2S5. The cost would be very much more at the prices now pre- vailing
 The value of manure varies some, what with the feed the animals re- ceive. The richer the feed is in pro tein the more nitrogen is contained in the manure. For this reason the ma nure from animals fed on cotton seed meal, bran, alfalfa hay or other rich feeds is especially valuable. Nearly all of the nitrogen fed to a fattening animal is returned in the manure.
 Manure Is valuable for other req sons besides the plant food 1t con tains. In every ton of average manure there is about 500 pounds of organic matter. This has a very beneficial in huence on the physical condition of the soil. IL makes heavy clay soils more mellow and open. and it binds the sand grains together in a sandy soil making a firmer seed bed and en- abiing the soil to store up more water against a time of drought One of the greatest needs of the soils of this

The organic matter supplied A manure also furnishes food for tAo bacteria which are essential to the best growth of crops Some of the bacteria fed by the manure are able to take nitrogen from the air and make it available for crops in much the same manner as do the bacteria which live on the roots of legumes. Others cause fermentation of the 0s. ganic matter to take place with the liberation of carbonic acid which ren. ders the mineral matter of the soil available.
