Musk Radioactive,

1t hns been recently determined that
the penetrating quality of musk is due
to certain radioactive properties which
1t possesses that cause odor of the per.
fume to be carried through the air in
an extraordinary way, says the In
dianapolls News. The radioactive
property Of musk affects strangely the
natives who carry 1t to market. If n
package of musk is held close to the
body for any length of time It pro-
duces sores that are similar In charac-
ter to those caused by pure radlum.

OLD Time SONGS
IN THE BIRTH

There are many old-time musical
airs in "The Birth Of Nation" that
interesting drama OF the Civil war
time that is to be played at the
Lyric. afternoon and evening. March

to people witnessing this offering.

dance held at Piedmont, s. C.
IF body meet o body,
Coming thru tn rye"

The quaint music of the old song
drifts through the darkened theater.
Upon the screen Is shown a great
ball room wwhere men and women
are laughing and singing and dane
ing away the hours in the old-fash-
toned Rye" waltz. All is happi-
ness there. there are flashing glances.
Couquetry-
The sharp, incisive call of the bu-
gle, the pounding Of hoofs. Like
one person, the great massed ball
room stops its dancing and stands
still. The music dies away. The
brightness of love-lit eyes turns to
the dizziness of pain. Again the call
Of the bugle. Shouted commands
1t is the call to arms for the South.
And II forms also one of the most
gripping contrasts of the hundreds
that are presented in the five thous-
and scenes OF THE Birth of Ma
ton" which will close its successful
engagement here Monday night.
A moment more and the men are
rushing from the ball room: In tho
grey dawn they hurry here and there
to their COMMUNICATION as the girls
with whom they had danced, the
girls they loved, line the narrow lit
tie streets OF the old-fashloned Pied
mont, they wave a farewell--and
hurry forth TO battle.
And a farewell 1t is. too. For o,
those who danced. few return. The
rolls OF death grow longer and longer

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa-
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz-
illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with ithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

LET FIGHTERS FIGHT

The French mission to this coun-
try has no hesitation in declaring
its opinion that American troops on
the fighting line will have a great
effect, morally if not numerically, in
bringing the war to successful
close. Col. Roosevelt can provide
the men for such an expedition in
short order and that, too, without
disturbing the plans of the admin
istration for a drafted army. The
reasons which are advanced for the
administrations refusal to permit
the Colonel to go ahead are not
creditable. There can be no monop-
oily of glory in this war.l The Col
onel could not monopolize it; the
President should not attempt to
do so.

The agitation for city mail dellv-

the proposed increase in postal rates
