When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re.
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance Oh keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
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 and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
ithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep ur the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-.Adv.

THE BUILDING

The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies Of
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
OF looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. II they

and the privations, why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo Of
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous OF occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out Of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed a high type
Of manhood wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were

character of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca.
madam prairie looks upon the result OF
his work, why shouldn't his chest eX-

feeling Of pride that took possession

the Canadian Northern Railway the

AT that time all the flour, meat and

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
ts increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
