F KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Baekache Is Sign You Have Been Eating Too Much
 Meat.

| when you wake up with backache
 ana dull misery in the kidney region it 1 generally means you have been eating i too much meat, says well-known au- thorlty. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort
 to filter 1t from the blood and they
 become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the oodys urlnous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated ana when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels of ten get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then 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 sluggish kidneys, also to neutrallze acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness.
 lad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful, ef- fervescent lithia- water drink.-Adv.

SAVE DADS LIFE
 GET 1T FOR HIM
Says It Is Suicide to Cut COrns and Tells How They Lift Right
 Out.

You simply say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very lit- tie but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from ones feet.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender. aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with the fingers without pain.
 This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by Cincinnati man, who says that while freezone is sticky it dries in moment, and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the sur rounding tissue or skin.
 Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whiting at his corns, but cut this out and make him try it. Adv.

When Corn Was IA Cents Bushel.
Corn has been selling for $3.50 a
bushel but at that, corn meal is cheap
Ter than flour. John Ehr tells the In
dependent an instance which occurred
back in Iowa where he farmed when
q young man. Corn was worth next
to nothing that year, John grew a
crop Of very choice corn, great big
yellow ears, and at the elevator he was
offered only IA cents bushel for it.
He had hauled big load to town and
q man offered him Is cents a bushel.
John took him up and driving up to
the mans home he was told to throw
the corn into the fuel bin. That was
too much for Mr.. Ehr. He promptly
turned around, drove to the elevator
and sold the load for a cent bushel
less. II just could not have the heart
to see such fine corn used for fuel"
Mr.. Ehr said, "but hundreds burned it.,
finding it cheaper than wood"
