SALTS # BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop EATING
meat tor while II your BLADDER
troubles you.

When You wake up with bae3Iaehe ana
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworis
the kidneys in their effort to filter It
from The blood and they become sort of
paraiyzed 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 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 good, reliable phyei-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q Tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast fc1 few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of Craps
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thua ending bladder
weakness
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes q delightful, efer-
yesceut Whitewater drink.

The MeatIess Meal.

Many hard working men cloud up
and begin to thunder at the mere sug-
gestion of a meatless meal. Drawn
and meat are inseparable terms, they
argue, and they would make you be-
lieve single meatless meal would in
capacitate them for life. AS a mat
ter Of fact, it is all question Of hav-
ing them leave the table feeling salts
fed. If a man "feels full" when he
folds his napkin, If any, he forgets In
five minutes whether he had milk or
rice for dinner. A clever wife can
manage a meatless meal with ease by
providing a heavier dessert than COM
mon. If he kicks because there is
no meat tell him to just wait. Then
feed him some bread pudding, with
q caramel or some other equally fill
ing sauce. If he still kicks, give him
some more. Then he can't kick.

BILLS NOT GERM CARRIERS
Investigation DispeIs Popular Idea Re-
gardin0 the Danger of Handling
SoiIed Paper Money.

A contributor to the Journal of the
American Medical association citing
the popular opinion of few years ago
in respect to sOiled paper money, says
it is today regarded by many as ex-
tremely dangerous to handle, and
many people still insist ON clean bills
when they are getting change. Bank
tellers rarely exhibit such aversion,
nor do they give history of excep-
tional incidence of infectious disease.
Currency has been blamed for the
spread Of disease and death, especial
ly when it has been difficult to find the
true etiologic agency. It is recalled
that not long ago case Of myxedema
was regarded as the outcome Of count
ing money.
: Because of such apparently exag-
gerated contentious, an actual investi-
cation of the bacteria present on
soiled money was made by Professor
Hilditch, who arrived at the conclu-
sion that money constitutes an un-
important factor in the transmission
Of disease. It is pointed out that a
more frequent redemption of soiled
and worn bills is necessary, yet the
facts and evidences at hand do not
justify the needless alarming Of the
public by rash statements concerning
currency.

The Great Bell Of Glasgow.

The great bell in Glasgow cathedral
tells it's own history in the following
inscription: I'm the year of grace 1888
Marcus Knox, a merchant in Glasgow,
jealous for the interest of the reformed
religion, caused me to be fabricated in
Holland, for the use Of his fellow citi-
zens of Glasgow and placed me with
solemnity in the tower Of their cathe-
dral. My function was announced by
the impress on my bosom: Me Audito,
Venias, Doctrinam Sanctam Ut Discas.'
and was taught to proclaim the hours
of unheeded time. One hundred and
nfnety-fve years had I sounded these
awful warnings, when was broken BY

BEGIN HOT WAITER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; If your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tary tract. Do your inside bathing i'm
mediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre-
vious days poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel: like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less, except for a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis
order should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks On the

seem TO Be Only Trustworthy Prepar.
alton Tor Writing That 10 De.
elred to Endure.

Attention was first called to the
bleaching effect Of air and light ON
writing ink, as used In modern time.
by the fact that signatures on certain
'certincates had become illegible
through the fading Of the ink, says q
writer In the Journal of the Society of
Chemical Industry.
) AS 1t was impracticable to test a
sample Of ink by exposure of writing
for period Of years, it was consid-
cred that limited application of hy-
drogen peroxide would be the nearest
chemical equivalent to the bleaching
effect Of the atmosphere. Writing
done by different inks was exposed to
light, the paper being occasionally
moistened with a 3 per cent solution
OF hydrogen peroxide, the result be-
Ing that the handwriting gradually be-
came invisible, In some cases more
quickly than In others. The violet ink.
used for typewriters was less readily
acted on. but was quickly bleached by
sulphurous acid.
If an ink could be produced possess
ing the desirable properties of perfect
duidity and being non-depositing, and
at the same time incapable of being
>decolorized by oxidizing or reducing
agents, there would be good reason to
believe that the writing done by such
an ink would be practically perma-
nent. In the meantime, when writing
is Of an important nature and is de-
sired to endure, some form of carbon
ink appears to be the only trustworthy
preparation.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1T is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
O. cold or the grip. It is Inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore sale
and harmless.

That's why Miss Vida Milholland, con-

she will lead q delegation of Congressional

She was not going TO try to take her

said, vehemently
"She was great. great woman. / don't
know that couldn't; but must do my bit.
/ can't even make speeches. But / am
ready to picket or help in my tiny way

Removing Candle Grease

Dear Madam-will you kindly let me know how
to remove grease snots made fv melted wax
or tallow having dripped on a damnsk. covered
chair? l would like TO know also II black lawn

they be made to look right without starch, as

You should be able to remove wax or
tallow spots from the damask by placing
heavy brown paper over the places stained
and ironing with a hot iron until the
grease comes through the paper and is en-
tirely removed from the chair. BE very
careful not to scorch the damask.
Black or dark blue dresses of lawn may
be washed in salt and water and some pure
soap. They should be ironed on the wrong
side Of the goods when still very damp.
This gives the goods the firm finish OF new
material.
