Helena.-Montana having been rated
as producing the greatest per acre
yield in nearly all cereals as well as
potatoes, as is shown by government
statistics, she now steps forward and
knocks down the persimmons on aver
age bank deposits in two neighboring
states, and runs a close second to Min

apolis bank, a leaflet showing the com.
parative bank deposits in Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota and
Montana, four states, with which the
Twin City banks do an enormous bust
ness.
The statement shows that Montana
banks are second on the average
amount of deposits and that she far
outdistanced both the Dakotas in 1915.
During that year there were IN de-
po3it in Montana banks $101, 742, 900, in
Minnesota $551,219,0 900; ir North Da.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor Oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The %children's revolt is ~well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a t%easpoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS
THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
neys II Bladder Bothers You
Drink Lots of Water.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
~well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache IN
the kidneys or your back hurts or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in a few days
your kidneys will act fine. This ia.
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to n%eutralize the acids
in urine so it nc longer auses irrita,
tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves
cent Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the bloot
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidne!
