IF KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is Sign You Have Been Eating Too Much e.
 Meat.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region 1t generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a 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 slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; remov- ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the wealth CT 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 phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts
 take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fire. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes 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

CATTLE TICK COSTING
 STATE $3,75O,OOO YEAR
Continued from Page One.)

bred and high grade animals have been brought into the tick infested territory during the past year and the immuned animals were bought at ex- ceedingly high prices. Our farmers are determined to have the best and many of them seem to be ahead of our legislators in their views upon this subject. Already many of the coun- ties in the southern part of the state are clamoring for active work to be- gin. Columbia county has 76 vats, Union county has 50 and Ouachita county 45, with many others close be- hind. This is Arkansas opportunity. When the present European war has ended and the cattle of the warning nations have been used for feeding the armies, the farmers of these coun- tries will be without means to buy more. They will devote their atten tion to the growing of grain crops since grain farming requires less cap ital. The farmers of America must supply the nations with beef. The growing of good beef cattle is one of the opportunities offered to the farm CTS of Arkansas if they will rid the state of the ticks.
 Eradication Will Bring Prosperity.
 "Tick eradication is also the basis if the future prosperity of the state. With tick eradication will come a steady and permanent wave of pros perity because it will be based upon safe farming Not only will our farmers be able to raise more beef and better beef and practice more pro- ftable farming, but immediately Northern farmers will be clamoring for Arkansas land. Many realize that with our mild winters beef and all other classes of live stock can be pro- duced a great deal cheaper in this state than in Iowa, Illinois or Indiana. l believe that if the legislature passes this bill, immediately great numbers of these farmers will buy Arkansas land. This increased demand will in crease the value of our lands because our farmers can ask and get more for their land. Men who own tracts of land which they rent will be able to get higher rents and this will have a tendency to increase the value of the land. With an increase in land values will come the general prosperity of which I speak With millions added to the value of our farm lands and thousands of taxable high grade beef cattle instead of the Arkansas scrub on our farms and safe farming on a paying basis we will find that there will be more money for all other in- stitutions for which there is such a crying need at this time. We must habe tick eradication before we can have many other things we need so badly right now. In fact, tick eradi- cation with diversified farming as a result means the emancipation of the women and children from the cotton fields, more education for the children, more and better school houses and churches and freer, healthier and happier people"

There is n good and well-known

said. when the sun is 'farthest
SOUTH as we say, plant life is ut it's
lowest point in vitality, and all the
sap is out of the branches. AS soon as
the sun reaches this point and the
days begin to lcngthen, the sap starts
to move upward in the plants.
"Thc lensthcning of the days has
not increased enough this winter so
far as to effect the rising of the sap.
and it is certain that the vitality of
perennial plants is but very slightly
greater than it was on December 81.
Buds cannot form unless the sap is
present in the ends Of the branches,
and so it is impossible that buds should
be forming on lilac bushes or any
other perennial shrub, such as roses.
