No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part Of the waste and poisons from the
blood, then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplcSsness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel n dull ache in
your kidneys or your back hurts, or
IL the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular Of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take table

and lemon juice, combined with lithia

flush clogged kidneys and stimulate

NEW VOICE DIAGNOSIS.
SCIENTIST Tells Whether You Can Sing
by Measuring Your Head.

Los ANGELES, Oct 22.--A meth
od of testing the ability of any person
10 sing, without seeing him or even
hearing him, has been devised by The
ophilus Fitz of this city. recently di-
rector of music in the State Teachers
college of Colorado. This method, which
Professor Fitz saws is his "contribu-
tiOn to- science is based upon a Sc
RIGS of measurements of the head cav
tiles that he declares he has down to
exact mathematics. He does not find
il necessary to see, touch, or hear the
subject, as his work, which he terms
''yoice diagnosis, has become as def
mite to him as mathematics. All he
asks is that certain measurements of
the head be taken correctly.
After learning these measurements
and the sex of the subject, he makes
his own calculation as to the size and
shape of the head cavities and an
nounccs whether the subject, if girl
is n soprano or contralto, and If q
youth, whether he should sing the role
of basso or of a tenor rohuSto.
Mamie often sings soprano just be
cause Susie does. although she ought t.
lie singing eontralto, says Professor
Fitz. ''And Bill insists upon singing
bass, because he thinks it is manly
when he ought 10 be a tenor. -
Persons with round heads make tn
best singers, nc says. because thei
head cavities are the most symmetrical
those with long heads come next an,
those with oval Uranium rank last.
Its nonsense, he says, for peo
pie to- pass four or five years studvin
music, to ascertain whether they ca
sing aud il SO. what part, when by thi
method. they can obtain such d,
