F KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache is sign you have been eating too much
 meat

When you wake up with backache and dull misery In the kidney region 1t gen. erally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the lddneys in their effort to filter 1t from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and losgy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the bodys urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather Is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine Is cloudy, full of sediment channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable physi- clan at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take d tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore 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 lIthia and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in tho urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

The most popular and probably the widest known of all American breeds of poultry is the Barred Plymouth Rock.
 Early in the history of pure-bred poultry in America the Shanghais, Chittagongs. Black Spanish, Games and Dominiques were the only pure bred varieties known. Many crosses were made from them, until an actual type of shape and color was agreed upon, about 1878, known as the Great American MongreL"
 It is generally agreed that the pres ent day Barred Plymouth Rock is de- scended from a cross of the Dom iniques and Black Javas, the latter a fowl of Asiatic origin. Plymouth Rocks became widely popular, being espe- cially adaptable and profitable. Almost every farmer in the country bred Ply mouth Rocks, because they were great

new frock and shrieks hysterically at a shadow. It is always hearing sounds and seeing ghosts. Such behavior is responsible for it's hitherto limited list of friends. These peculiarities of it's disposition account partly for the gen eral habit of allowing guineas to breed themselves. In no other fowl does the instinct of distrust seem so much part of cell and fibre as In the guinea
 Tn spite of this timorousness there is both profit and interest in raising this fowl. Except on limited areas, 1t re- quires little feed They soon yield their confidence to the attendant who feeds them regularly Rough treatment alienates them beyond hope and their propensity for flying makes their cap- ture at the proper time difficult
 The male selects his mate and clings to her faithfully While she attends to the duties of maternity he hovers near, ready to shrill an alarm at sign of dan ger When the brood appears he shares equal responsibility of food, shelter and protection. If misfortune over takes the hen, he assumes her duties.
 Distinguishing the Sexes
 At a casual glance, male and female are indistinguishable. She has the pre- ponderance of vocabulary. Besides the cry of Trek" common to both, she sings "potrack." This cry is the only sure way for the amateur to distin- guish the sexes. Those acquainted with the fowl observe the length of the bony protuberance on the head and of the wattle-lobes, which are larger in the adult rooster
 Of the White Dove and Pearl. the latter seems most popular. The flesh of all Is dark and gamey, but that of the white, or of the white crossed with pearl, is a shade lighter. It is believed that their habit of flying at the least excuse and their feeding among the fields contribute to the game flavor. In fact, the guinea seems a link between the distinctly wild and the placidly tame fowls A newly matched pearl guinea is the replica of a baby par fridge except in size.

 As a fancy fowl the Barred Ply mouth Rock has many admirers. It is difficult to produce good specimens without patience and considerable ap- plication to breeding problems.
 Barred Plymouth Rock males weigh from eight to ten pounds; females from six to eight pounds. Their even ly barred plumage Is striking and beautiful, and the fowls in flocks are exceptionally attractive. They have demonstrated for many years their worth as a farmers fowl.

GUINEA RAISING FOR PROFIT;
 METHODS FOR BEGINNERS
Peculiarities of the Guinea's Temperament Make Rear ing Difficult-Wild Fla vor of it's Flesh Comments It to the Epicure-It Ri vals Quail
Rv M. l.. LONGTIELD

Author and Practical Poultryman
 The epicure has discovered tho guinea. In metropolitan restaurants and hotels. this fowl now consorts with most select company on the me nus. The delicately wild flavor of its flesh and its tenderly plump dark breast commend 1t to epicurean favor. Whether he eats it honestly as guinea or persuades himself he is tickling his palate with game. he finds 1t rivals quail. Hence, more young guineas are eaten now than ever before.
 A new and increasing demand has arisen for a fowl whose culture has hitherto been neglected. Generally speaking, the guinea of the past has been merely tolerated on the farm, never esteemed as profitable. It was regarded as noisy, flighty creature, whose chief recommendation was its well known habit of sighting hawks in time to set up a discordant chorus. In the warm months floeks semi-wild by nature and profession skirted the edges of civilized poultrydom and null tiplied meagrely in distant fields. Frosts and snows stimulated a dor mant alleefence and they returned to the barnyard for food and shelter. Here, by one ruse or another, the young ones, plump as cartridges, were caught by the farmer. Having cost him nothing, he was satisfied with 25 cents apiece when he sold them in an in- different market. These and the eggs, which are regarded as a great deli cacy. were his returns from this branch of his poultry

WITHOUT AUTHORITY TO ACT.
Ambassador Francis Not Instructed
to Consider Russia's Peace Proposal.

It is assumed at the State Department
that the reply Of American Ambassador
Francis to the invitation of Leon Trot-
zky, foreign minister OF the bolsheviki
government. to participate in the peace
negotiations would be that he has no
instructions from this government. No
instructions have been sent to Mr..
Francis, and it was indicated that none
authorizing him to have anything to do
with peace negotiations would be sent.
The recurring suggestions in Europe
for de facto recognition of the bolshe-
Wiki has not been supported here, and it
is believed that Ambassador Francis
will be expected to do nothing more in
connection with the peace parleys than
to observe developments and report
them.
