IF 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 it gem
 efally means you have been eating too
 much meat, says a well known authority,
 Meat forms uric acid which uverworks
 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; re- moving all the body's urinous was ste. 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- can at once or get from your pharmacst about four ounces of lad Salts; take d tablespoonful in 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 I-clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irrtates, thus ending bladder weakness.

Beloved and Depised Cartoon;st

LoulS Raemaekers. erstwhile Dutch landscape painter and now the most i'm portant cartoonist of the great war, will stand out for all time as one of the su-
 preme figures which the present war has called into being. His drawings have been called ''the greatest sermon for uni versal peace and a collection of them has been printed in book form by Double day, Page & Co.
 The great Dutch cartoonist is now in his forty-seventh year. He was born in Holland. His father who is dead. was the editor of provincial newspaper His mother, who is still alive and exceed ingly proud of her son's fame, is a Ger
 man by birth.
 Mir. Raemaekers, who is short. fair and of ruddy countenanee, looks at least 10 years younger than his age. He took up painting and drawing when quite young and acquired his art in Holla nd and Brussels.
 Prior to the publication of Raemaekers
 cartoons in the Amsterdam Telegraaf
 Holland was pro-German But these graphic drawings swayed this nation from
 kindly feelings toward the Prussians to
 feelings of deepest sympathy for the allies.
 Until unpleasant situations arose in his own country over his cartoons-situations created by German spies who brought about his accusation in the Dutch courts of endangering his country's neutrality he had lived always in the land of his birth. After being acquitted of the charges made against him. Raemaekers
 went to London, where he now lives, and continues his cartoon making. When his passage was begun to Eng land, his wife received anonymous post
 cards warning her that his ship would certainly be torpedoed in the North sea A German paper is credited with having said:
 | After the war. Germany will settle ac. counts with Holland, and for eacf calumny, for each cartoon of Raemaekers
 she will demand payment with the inter | est that is due her.
 l It is said that Raemaekers' ideas come l to him naturally and without effort 1 Suggestions do not assist him; they hinder him when he endeavors to act upon them. Critics declare him an artisl to his finger tips and another Teuton pa per (Germany having set price upon his ! head) has declared that Raemaekers
 cartoons are worth at least two army corps to the allies.

How This Man Sold Insurance

A writer in the January American Magazine says about selling insurance: The first day I started out to call in every place of business and try to interest people in life insurance. No one seemed to want it. I found that most folks were too busy to listen to my tables-or even my arguments. FTnaiiy, finished canvassing the merchants on one side of the main street, that is, thought I had finished, and kept right on out into the residential section stop
 ping to talk to few people cutting grass In their front yards. No one showed particular interest; some wouldn't even talk to me- At last I saw fellow painting a house'I jumped over the fence and was amazed when he came down off the ladder to talk to me- I reckon his arm must have been tired and he
 was glad for an excuse to rest. But, at any rate, I succeeded in interesting him
 and telephoned to my manager to come out and help close the prospect.
 We went to the painters house that night l was eager for quick action, but the manager seemed quite lackadais- ical. Instead of talking insurance right away, he picked up a haired ycungster toddling about the floor and began trotting him on his knee, at the same time assuring the mother that the child's eyes were exactly the same shade 1 as those of nephew of his out in Des Moines. After the boy had gone to sleep l in his arms the manager began talking insurance, and I was amazed at the | ease with which he signed up the painter. l I had expected to get some selling arguments from his talk and was dis appointed in not doing so Tt struck me that probably I had sold the painter l that afternoon. As I look back tonight don't understand how I could have | been so blind"

Washington, d. c., April 16.-The
importance of thorough and continuous
cultivation in the home vegetable gar
den is pointed out in a new farmers
bulletin of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, No. SIS. The
Small Vegetable Garden" After the
seeds have sprouted or after the plants
have been set in their permanent loca-
ton, continued cultivation becomes
necessary.
The gardener should never permit
the surface of the soil to become
baked or even to form an appreciable
crust. Constant stirring with hand
tools or a wheel cultivator should be
practiced between the rows and about
the plants. Such a stirring permits
the air TO penetrate the soil, where it
facilitates chemical action and bac-
terial activity, destroys weeds which
otherwise would utilize large amounts
of plant food, and. finally, conserves
the moisture supply. The rake is per-
haps the gardeners most valuable
tool in cultivating. This can be passed
backward and forward over the ground
until it is in an open, mellow con-
dition. Where vegetables grow closely
in the rows it often will be necessary
to supplement the cultivation by hand
wedding. Small implements are made
for this purpose and may be pur-
chased cheaply. 1t is well in some
cases to pull up weeds by hand, es-
pecially where they grow closely about
the stalks of the garden plants

full in early spring not to dig the
ground when the soil is too moist, so
he should be careful later in the sea-
son not to cultivate too soon after
rains. The stirring of very muddy soil
''puddles" it into a compact, cement
like mass, in which the plant food is
securely locked. The garden will re-
quire attention, however, as soon as
the excess moisture from rain has
soaked in or partially evaporated. I'm
less the ground is stirred at this time
a crust will form almost inevitably.
Such a crust, besides restricting the
plants, prevents the access of air and
also facilitates the loss of moisture
through evaporation.
Irrigation
When. during prolonged dry spells
the plants give evidence of suffering
because of lack of moisture, water
must, if possible. be supplied arti-
ficially. Where a supply of piped water
is at hand perhaps the most usual
method of irrigation is by sprinkling
with a hose. If sprinllling is prac.
ticed it should be done late in the
afternoon. 1t is not sufficient merely
to dampen the surface; a thorough
wetting should be given. A more
satisfactory and more economical
method of irrigation, however, is to
open small burrows between the rows
of growing plants and to supply water
in these bitches from a hose or pipe.
Several hours after the water has
soaked in the dry earth should be
drawn back into place.

Woman Lends $2O,OOO,OOO
to British Government

London, April 16. = The largest
woman subscriber to the war loan In
england is Miss Emily Talbot, of Gal
morgan. Miss Talbot, who Is "a years
years old, is the daughter OF c. II, NJ
talbot. who sat in the House OF Com
mons for sixty years and died In 1880,
leaving a fortune estimated at ES,OOO,-
600 to his daughter. Her land hold
ings of over 10000 acres include sew.
eral thousand acres of valuable coal
deposits, and nearly the whole or
PORT Talbot railway and docks.
Miss Talbot's contribution to the
war loan is estimated at f{,OOO,OOO'
This is quite characteristic of the wo-
man, who has been known to go to
great lengths to avoid publicity in con-
nection with her philanthropies. Her
favorite device to avoid publicity Is
to contribute a comparatively small
sum to a charity in her own name ana
then add two or three much larger do
nations anonymously. Thus, her open
subscription to the war loan was Tor
$4,000, although in roundabout ways
it has become known that she is the
holder of about fifty times that
amount.
Miss Talbot, despite her age, keeps
her hand on her own business affairs,
and her property has greatly increased
in value during her twenty-seven

house on CaVendish Square, but SPENDS
a considerable part of her time IN

DRINK WATER TO
AVOID SICKNESS
SAYS AUTHORITY
Glass of hot water before break
fast daily keeps the
doctor away.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
is the recommendation that it is as
necessary to attend to internal SANTA
ton of the drainage system Of the hui
man body as it is to the drains of the
house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
Vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting a large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for thorough flushing of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly COM
plexions are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
a pronounced crank on the subject
of internal sanitation.

Sons at His Side
Lingering near death for hours
Mayor Meals passed away at 1850
o'clock this morning, with his sons
Harry and Dale, nurse and hospital
physician at his bedside. Since early
yesterday afternoon he was uncon-
scious.
The Mayors illness began early last
summer He was taken to the hos

early in January when he again was
forced to take his bed. Since then he
has never attended a session of Coun-
Gil, Commissioner w. l.. Gorgas, now

Rallied After Operation
After weeks of illness and daily
consultations physicians decided to
have the Mayor removed to the Har-
risburg Hospital for the second time.
Two weeks ago his right leg was
amputated below the knee because
gangrene had set in. The Mayor
rallied slightly after the operation and
at times was able to sit in a wheel
chair. Last Wednesday he made his
last trip in the chair to police head
quarters and spoke for a few minutes
to Chief of Police j. Edward WetzeI
and Captain of Police Joseph p
Thompson. Suffering a relapse OF

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
a1kan, which is very injurious. as 1t
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
muIsifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
SOAPS or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy ana easy to
handle. Besides, 1t loosens and takes
out every particle of dust. dirt and
dandruff.
