Life-Saving or Drowning?

In an article on sports in Girls
Camps" In st. Nicholas, Anna Worth
ington Coale describes the tests for
rescue work, or life-saving require
ment Of the United States Volunteer
Life-Savers. These tests, which are
taken by many Of the Older girls In
camp, put a good deal of zest into the
swimming.
I'm order to pass the tests you must
know at least three different holds
which drowning person would be
likely to make while struggling and
how to break them. You must also
be able to dive to the bottom and
bring up supposedly drowned person
in proper form-head frst--and tow
her ashore, using any one Of three ap-
proved methods Of carrying, as, for ex-
amplss crOOking the elbow under the
chin Of the victim and swimming on
the side. You must then demonstrate
usually the Schaeffer method, which
requires only one person to apply it.
The first thing on reaching shore Is
to empty the water from the lungs
which, by the way, is never more than
two or three teaSpOOnfuls In amount
and induce breathing by pressure on
t&e ribs. If you have ever been called
upon to be the victim for someone's
practice you will understand why 1t
Is still question In some camps which
form of death is tO he nrafarrpd. life
saving or mere drowning?''

NO DOGS ALLOWED ON TRAIN
But Conductor Had Embarrassing Mo-
ment When He Undertook to Ban
ish Canine to Baggage.

Soon after the train had started,
noticed a small white dog, with
bushy tail and bright black eyes, costly
sitting on seat beside young lady.
She was quite pretty, but the cOnduc-
tors duty was plain.
'I'm very sorry, madam" he said
with unusual suavity, ''but it's against
the rules to have dogs In the passen-
ger cars"
"Oh dear! is that so?" replied the
young lady, looking beseechingly from
her brown eyes. what shall l do? I
can't throw him away. He's present
for my aunt"
"Throw him away! BY no means.
miss! Well put him In the baggage
car, and he'll be just as happy as the
robins in spring"
"What-put my nice white dog In

"I'm sorry, miss. but the rules Of
this company must be enforced. He
shall have my overcOat to lie on, and
the brakeman will give him crackers
and milk every time he opens his
mouth"
II just know somebody will steal
him." she objected.
But the conductor was firm, and
called out to the brakeman, who was
carrying a signal flag.
Here, Mike, put this dog In the bag

Of care Of him.
The brakeman picked up the dog as
carefully as If 1t were a baby. There
was a sudden twitching Of the facial
muscles, and he hastily said to the con-
ductor:
"Here, you just hold him minute
till put this flag away"
Out Of the car door he went, and
held on to the brake wheel, shaking
like a man with ague.
The conductor laid his hands on the
dog, and then
"Why-wh.why- Is worsted
dog!" he gasped.

# KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take Salts for Back
ache or Bladder trouble
Neutralizes acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like lumps 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 off the body's uTinous waste
or you'll be real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomacho 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 a 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,
combined with iithia, 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,
yhus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts ia 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
