QUIT MEAT IF
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take Glass of Salts if Your
Back Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says we'll known authority. Meat
forms uric acid, which excites the
kidneys, they become over"orked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get SICK.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, 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 sloudy, offensive, fall
of sediment, irregular Of passage or
attended by a sensation OF scaldng,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice. COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimu-
late the kidneys, also to neutrallze
the avids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to kee the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications. $

CHAPTER XIV.
The Battle. :

nc o2StlSs
It was now three o'clock In the
morning. In about half an hour the
men, naturally grumbllng and protest
ing at being deprived Of any of their
sleep. were out and at work. Lanterns
were lighted everywhere. The rain
had fortunately not resumed, and the
air was soon filled with noise and con-
fusion. Men with axes were busy on
the hillside cutting the young pines.
Horses were hitched to the dump wag-
ons, the steam shovel began tearing
away the hillside. Some Of the men
were detailed to knock down some
Of the galvanized Iron houses and the
battering OF the hammers on the metal
added to the din.
Under Vandeventer's personal direc-
ton a row of stakes was driven into
the top Of the dam about three feet
from the front Of 1t. Big sheets of
overlapping galvanized iron were
nailed roughly to the fronts of the
firmly bedded stakes and the small
branches and brushwood were thrown
down before 1t. Bowlders and big
stones were carried out on the dam in
the wagons nnd thrown down on the
brentwood; spare timbers, broken
wagon beds, old wheels, 1oists Of dis
membsred houses were driven Into the

there'd only be two feet Of head IN the
unc0mpleted spillway. and that
wouldn't be enough to discharge 1t at
the rate it's been coming In"
"Of course" said Vandeventer
thoughtfully. "And II the dam goes"
he added, "there are ten miles of back
water up there and millions Of cubic
yards impounded. which would sweep
down the valley. There wouldn't be
thing left Of the camp. the town, the
new railroad bridge. or anything else"
"Coming on top Of the International,
the loss Of this big and expensive via
duct would about finish the Martlet
company" said Meade thoughtlessly.
Vnndeventer looked at him sharply.
An idea suddenly came to him. Meade
had turned away his head as he real
lied his slip. so he did not observe the
light In Vandeventer's eyes. However,
the resident engineer was good sort.
''You are right" he said quickly. II

had been here six weeks ago.
eve might set the men to work on
that rock now" Said Meade.
"It would be useless. There's too
much Of 1t. No. IL we're going to save
the dam. we've got to build it up and
try to keep ahead Of the waters II
they rise any more. The higher we
can build 1t the greater will be the
head on the spillway. and the more
will be discharged. I'll turn the men
out at once"
"But what are you going to dor"
@Tm going to palIsade the top Of the
dam. There's plenty Of timber already
cut down. and we will cut lot of
young pines and build a palisade wall
Of timber across the top three or four
feet back from the edge. Well banked
on the downstream side, 1t may hold"
1T might be worth while to line that
palisade with galvanized iron sheets
from the houses" said Meade.
"A good idea," said vandeventer.
"and wen pile what underbrpsh and
small STUFF we have in front of the
palisade and heap what rocks we can
find on top of that, and we'll bank 1t
up on the other side with earth. It's a
poor dependence. but 1t will hold for a
while anyway. and every moment Of
time may be precious"
"How about handbags, sirr'
We've got a few hundred cement
bags, but not enough. I wish we had
a few thousand; however. we will MI
what we have. and II the water rises
and begins to trickle over the top and
through the palisade, well jam those
down at the danger points. Can you
suggest anything more?"
Nothing"
"Good. Wen turn out the men.
They've had six hours sleep anyway"

dig and drive, carry and pile. Throw
ing Off his coat, vandeventer seized a
spade and began to work like acy
other laborer, and the rest of the
higher men followed his example.
AT six o'clock the blackness hanging
in the northwest began to turn their
way. It was coming down the noun
tain. It was headed for the valley.
Vandeventer saw it, every teamster,
every common laborer saw 1t. 1t was
coming. Unless heaven itself inter-
fered there would be more rain. They
had worked desperately before, but
now they applied themselves to their
tasks With Kind Of Wild fury. 4

Hints on the Care of Clothes

HINTS on the Care of CIOfhe5
Brush your suit or overcoat before you put it on and
when you take it off. This will keep out the grit
and dust, which not only wears out the fabric but
gives it a faded appearance.
DON'T wear a cuit for more than three days in sue
ceSSion. Then give it a thorough brushing andhave
it pressed.
Once a month turn the coat and trousers inside out
and hang them out of doors for a thorough airing.
A systematic observance of these simple rules, will
add at least six months to the life of the clothes,
