TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
 KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid Which Clogs the Kidneys and
 .rritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys. like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and need flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe head aches. rheumatic twinges. torpid liver. acid stomach. sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean. and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here. take Q 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, con- bined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der disorders
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious con- plications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who be- lieve in overcoming kidney trouble while 1t is only trouble.-Adv.

Origin of Crescent.

Professor Ridgeway, in England, ad. vocated a new view. according to which the Mohammedans got the idea of the crescent. not from the new moon. but from the ancient and long. continued use in Asia Minor of anu. lets made by fitting two boars' tusks together at the base. The figure thus produced certainly bears closer re. semblance to a typical crescent. as 1t Is represented on the Turkish flag than does new moon. The wide dis. tribution of these amulets. however. suggests that they may have had a common origin in some symbol per. taining to the moon. They are found as far away as New Guinea. while in Africa they are in common use, made, however. of lions claws instead of boars' tusks.

The advent of 1916 found the busi, CTS especially in a most optimistic mood. The leaders in all branches of industry report great improvement in trade conditions and an exceedingly bright outlook for the future.
 In reply to a query from the finan- cial editor of one of the largest and most influential American publications seeking information regarding the financial conditions prevailing in the south at the beginning of the new year. Moorhead Wright, president of the Union Trust Company, one of the largest financial institutions in the state, and secretary of the Association of Southern Bankers, organized in Galveston during the latter part of 1915, voiced the sentiment of Arkan- sas bankers and jobbers in the follow ing interesting statement:
 The difference in Little Rock and Arkansas between the new years days of 1915 and 1916 is the difference be- tween ueDt anu SuTpluS. "A year ago, both the outside obligations of the jobbers and the stocks on hand were embarrassingly large; likewise their obligations receivable were embarras- sing. The retail merchant was in most uncertain situation. Trade was scarce, custom was full of uncertain ty. Whereas, today the joobers are practically out of debt The mer- chants have had gratifying business and general employment much i'm proved.
 Arkansas is essentially an agricul, tural state. Little Rock is the barom- eter of conditions. Her location Is the geographical, typographical, po- litical, commercial and social capital.
 The bankers and the business com munity started a movement for better farming a year ago and the gains of the year are largely due to the zeal displayed, both by the advocates and practitioners of this safe farming pro- paganda.

Hall. meanwhile, was near the boil ing point of his rage. He had been defeated by Carolyn's cleverness. He was furious at her, at himself. at everybody. Here were two women, now. who had a hold on him-and be- fore long there would be three! Never. Hall swore 1t with round oath. Mrs. Royalton. at least, would not triumph. She hadn't Carolyn's brains, she hadn't Rosamund's disarming beauty. She was, when 1t came right down to 1t. more or less of fool. Why not ignore her, and make last attempt to win Flodie? He looked up at the clock Good heavens! It was already twenty minutes to twelve! And his four mil lions were no nearer than ever. He jumped up impulsively, and strode to the door.
 The company had about finished supper. The little orchestra had started up again, and had begun on a new turkey-trot. AS proof of its in sidious charm, who but Jonas Hassing- bury himself had succumbed! He was dancing with the fair Rosamund. MT Doremus. still surrounded and petted by the three pretty actresses, was tell ing funny story. There was sharp squall of laughter as he finished. Where the devil was Flodie? Hall peered from behind the portieres. so as not to be seen himself. In a mo ment she emerged from the stockroom with a plate of ice cream. and. smiling, passed 1t to Mir. Doremus. Then she looked up. and caught Halls eye. He

 decision of importance to rural school districts was handed down by the Supreme Court in the case of Dis trict No. 79 against District No. Z, both special districts in Greene coun- ty.
