SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which clogs
Kidneys, then Back hurts and
Bladder bothers you.

Most folks forget that the kidneys
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver.
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain IN the kicney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter 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, COM
bined with lithia. and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so ii no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; (;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.
A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

An Interesting Illusion.

A curious and interesting effect may
be produced in the following simple
manner:
Take sheet of paper or thin card
board about five inches square and roll
it into tube, with one end just large
enough to 1T around the eye and the
other end somewhat smaller Hold
the tube between the thumb and first
finger of the right hand--do not grasp
the tube with the whole hand-and
place the larger end of the tube close
against the right eye. With the left
hand place book against the side of
the tube. If both eyes are now kept
open there viii appear to be hole
through the book, and IL will appear
that objects are seen through this hole
and not through the tube. The effect
Is even more odd if the left hand in
stead of book is held against the
tube, when the hole will appear
through the center of the hand.

New York, Feb. 20--Food riots in
which about 5000 women participated
occurred yesterday in the Williams
burg and Brownsville districts of
BROOKLYN. Peddlers' carts were over
turned and set on fire and for hours
the police reserves fought To restore
order ! The cause of the trouble was
a sudden jump in price. Many of the
families in the poorer neighborhoods
asserted that it was impossible for
them TO get enough to eat.
The disorders started in Belmont
Avenue, between Rockaway and
Stone Avenues in the Brownsville
district. at 10 o'clock in the morning.
when the women OF that thickly popu-
lated district turned out TO do their
shopping Signs over the carts quot
ed onions at from Is to IS cents a;

cents and potatoes at from to z
cents pound One OF the women who
had not enough money 10 make her
purchases started the rioting by up
setting lcart As the peddler pro-
tested and gave chase TO the woman
was overturned. and soon hundreds of
women were collected about the spot.
The reserves were called from the
Brownsville and Liberty Avenue Sta
tions and restored order by noon. The
police estimated that there were at
least 900 women in the crowd.
The riots in Williamsburg were an
outgrowth of the earlier demonstra-
tions. They began at about 4 o'clock
in the tenement district bounded by
Grand South Third, Roebling streets
and Marcy Avenue, and when the first
wagon was overturned ehere were
from 800 to 400 women in the streets.
A woman who apparently was the
ringleader of the trouble makers re-
fused to pay the increased price. and
when the peddlers would not sell her
food. put her shoulder to one of the
lcrgest carts. II moment and be-
fore the police could be summoned at
least 900 women had joined the
crowd Several of them carried torch
es made of newspapers soaked in
kerosene and with these they set fire
to some of the carts which contained
clothing and other infiammable mater
ial. Lieutenant Gillen led the re-
serves from the Bradford Avenue Po-
lice Station and for forty minutes the
policemen fought with the excited
mob.

OPPORTUNITY

They do me wrong who say come nc
more
When once knock and fail to find
you in;
For every day stand outside your
door
And bid you wake, and rise to fight
and win.
Wall not for precious chances passed
away!
Weep not for golden ages on the
wane!
Each night l burn the records of the
day
At sunrise every soul is born again!
Dost thou behold they lost youth all
aghast?
Dost reel from righteous Retribu-
tion's blow?
Then turn from blotted archives of
the past
And find the futures pages white
as snow.
Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from
they spell;
Art thou sinner! Sins may De Ior-
given
Each morning gives thee wings to
flee from hell,
Each night star to guide they feet
to heaven.
Laugh like a boy at splendors that
have sped,
To vanished joys be blind and deaf
and dumb;
My judgments seal the dead past
with it's dead,
But never bind moment yet to
come.
Though deep in mire, wiring not your
hands and weep;
lend my arm to all who say Il
cant"
No shame-faced outcast ever sank so
deep
But yet might rise and be again
