SALTS # BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating
meat for while If your Bladder
troubles you.

When vou wake up with baclSache and
dull misery in the kidney region IL gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
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 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 physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a glass of water
before 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 ithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful effer-
yescent ithia water drink.

"Human Nature" in Dogs.

A real, full-blooded English bulldog
has been in our family for seven years
writes a newspaper contributor, and
as time goes on we find him more and
more human.
One of his traits has amused us fol
years. Sunny, as the dog has been
appropriately named, is very particu.
lar about his food. Real, old-fashiOned
dog biscuit is beneath his dignity,
When bowl Of biscuit is put down
for his supper he shifts with disgust
and turns away.
But resting conveniently close at
hand is a little papier-mache model OF
a bulldog that rejoices in the name OF
Fido. All that we have to do in order
to bring Sunny<back to his bowl Is to
call 'Here, Fido, Fidow and to put
Fido in front Of the dinner. So long
as he feels that some other dog may
possibly get the food, Sunny will eat
every crumb, and with a grunt of salts
faction nose FidO out Of the way. Is
not that precisely the nature Of some
humans?

in Blaze.
HALF OF YARDS BURN

Embargo Against Cattle Declared
by All Roads Except One
Origin OF Fire Unknown.

Kansas City, Oct. 17.-That $500
cattle and 3,100 hogs were lost in the
fire which consumed part of the yards
Tuesday, is the estimate issued by the
Kansas City stockyards The state
ment said twenty-five acres were
burned over. An embargo against cat
tie to Kansas City until conditions
are normal has been declared by all
railroads except one.
Half of Yards Destroyed.
Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. T.-More
than one-half of the Kansas City stock
yards, ,the second largest in the world
has been destroyed by fire. 1t was es
timated after the fire had been brought
under control after raging for two
hours that several thousand head Of
cattle had been destroyed. Some es
Inmates ran as high as 10000. There
were $4,000 cattle in the yards at the
close of business Monday, and while
It was possible to liberate most OF
them, so rapidly did the flames gain
Roadway that many of them were
caught and burned.
Origin Mysterious.
It was the third disastrous fire In
the history of the Kansas City stock
yards. The blaze was discovered by
two patrolmen in Kansas City, Kan.
and before they could summon appa
ratus the fire had become nnmanage
able
The origin Of the fire was undeter

airy loss was available.
No definite estimates as to the loss
will be made until insurance adjusters
have taken census of the number OF
cattle burned, since the fire was con
fined to the cattle pens.
Carcass Disposal Problem.
Disposal of the carcasses was prov
ing a problem early today. 1t was
thought by commission men at the
stockyards that local soap and fer
tilizer plants would be able to care
for most of them.

finder Boxes Not Obsolete.

Brandon, q small town in Suffolk,
England, still supplies the world with
f1int-and-steel finder boxes, which even
the developed friction matches Of to-
day have not made obsolete, notes the
Popular Science Monthly. Elderly
persons can still tell us about the time
when f1int-and-steel were universally
used; when old rags had to be
charred for finder, and when the
sparks had to fly to get these to catch
fire. Brandon fiints have always been
justly famous. They were used in
the kitchens at home, and on cannons
In the wars. They saw service at Wa
terloo, in the Crimean war, and even
as late as in the South African cam
paign. The first one was made In
1927.
