EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take q glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothen you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eiminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and q general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel Like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in 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
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine 80 it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
mistake by having good kidney flush
ing any time.

Look and Feel !
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink o glass Of real hot water
before breakfast TO wash
out polsons.

Life II not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well. work
well. sleep well, look well. What q
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy II Is II one will only
ADOPT the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache. stuffy from cold, foul
tongue. nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a. daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole OF the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with q teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in It to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action Of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions Of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but Is
sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject Of
Internal sanitation.

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

Frank, N. C.-Jim Shade, q negro
Of Lick Log Gap, a colored settle

was hanged by hog.
The story Is told by Horton Cooper
OF Frank, as follows:
when the weather became colder,
Isaac Oils, white farmer of this
place, slaughtered 200-pound porker
and left 1t hanging where 1t had been
dressed that 1t might thoroly cool
overnight.
"When Mr.. Oils went early next
morning to finish his work he found
much to his chagrin, that the porker
was missing. Guessing what had
happened. he began q systematic
search for trace of the thief.
Strange footsteps had gone In the
direction of the Lick Log Gap. and
following them, Mr.. Oils soon came
to place where signs indicated that
the thief had dropped his slippery
burden and had had trouble In re-
placing It upon his shoulder.
"Mr. Oils hurried on. Scarcely fifty
yards farther the object of his search
broke upon his surprised sight. A
high. old-fashioned rail fence ran d.
rectly across the trail, and from the
topmost rail. and on the side next to
Mr.. Oils, hung the carcass Of the
hog; on the other side, his head be-
tween the gambrel-stick and one Of
the hogs hind legs, dangled the life
less body OF Jim Shade. His neck
was broken.

DUCKS MINE GOLD
ON WESTERN RANCH

Owner sprInkIed, Creek Bed With
:, Grain to- Encourage Their
at Activities.
Beaver, Okla. There are miners
and miners. but lid you ever hear of
ordinary Indian Runner ducks in that
rolef No? Well, then, read on.
Joseph Bryson. who lives on big
ranch on Ten Mile Creek, southwest
OF here, drives up in his automobile
about twice a year to the First Ma
tional Bank of Liberal, Kan, and
deposits a bag of gold dust Also Mr..
Bryson is constantly getting in big
shipments of Indian Runner ducks for
his ranch. These things cause some
of the country folk to call Mr.. Bryson
"Gold Dust Joe," and his ranch the
"Gold Duck Ranch"
For long time no one thought OF
coupling the two--the ducks and the
gold dust. Bryson always said at the
| bank that the gold dust came from
his claim In Arizona.
Then, il is said, came the discovery
| that the gold dust came from the
ranch on Ten Mile Creek. and that
| the placer mining was being done by
| the thousands of ducks on the ranch.
Some of the "old timers" claim that
several years ago Bryson bought q
few pairs of ducks and placed them
on his ranch for the eggs they might
| produce. He had no idea that they
one day would be laying golden eggs
for him.
One day, say these old settlers, he
killed a couple of ducks for dinner. In
dressing them he was surprised to
find a considerable quantity OF gold
dust in their craws and also lining the
stomach and intestines. He killed
some more. In nearly every bird gold
dust and fine nuggest were found.
AS the only possible explanation.
they quote the fact that Ten Mile
Creek, as other streams OF the
section, rises in the edge Of New
Mexico. 1t is we'll known that gold
sands from Colorado and New Mexico
have been washed down the streams
and deposited in the sandy soil. The
ducks, in wading about in the mud
occasionally had OWED down, taken up
bill full of mud, literally sprinkled
with gold dust, which stuck to their
craws or lined the walls Of the stonf-
ach and intestines.
And" says an old farmer. "Bryson
began a systematic propagation OF
the ducks, and encouraged them to eat
plenty of mud. He sprinkled the bed
of the creek with grain and bugs to
encourage the ducks to get mouthfuls
of the golden mud. OF course, he had
to kill good many ducks to get much
gold, but the ducks are easily propa-
gated, and he shipped in many OF
them.
"The ducks yielded enough gold to
bank a substantial sum in gold dust
every six months. AS a by-product
the feathers were sold to an Eastern
concern. The carcasses were fed to
swine in the ranch and went far to-
ward fattening the hogs. with ration
of grain. The ducks gave the pork
a flavor which made his hogs in
demand"

Michigan's war governor" had no
opposition in the 1918 primary cleo
ton for the Republican nomination for
a second term as governor OF the
state 1t was the first time since the
primary was established in Michigan
that the Republicans have not wit.
messed Z battle for the gubernatoriai
nomination and the fact presages a
return to Office Of Gov. Sleeper by a
splendidly complimentary vote in the
November elections.
When first elected two years ago as
chief executive of the state, Gov.
Sleeper was hailed as the man upon
whom Republicans had united to
oring Michigan back into the solidly
Republican column. His home district
in 1.-The Thumb had honored him pre-.
viously by sending him to the state
senate and the Republicans Of the en-
tire commonwealth had twice elected
him state treasurer, SO that he was
widely and favorably known when
called to the governorship.
In Office only a few months when
the United States was drawn into the
world war, Gov. Sleeper was first
among the executives Of the nation 70
pledge his states complete service to
the cause of the country. The legis-
lature, then in session, promptly back
ed up the governor by appropriating
eve million dollars for war purposes.
Michigan's instant patriotism made q
distinct hit throughout the United
States, as did its energetic work ia
following up its promises with action.
Woman work has been done by the
war preparedness board and other
patriotic boards Of the state, under
the direction of Gov. Sleeper. Michi-
gan has been kept to the front in war
work in a way that has obtained Off.
cial recognition from the federal gov.
eminent and in way that has more
than pleased the loyal citizens of the
entire community
In state affairs Gov. Sleeper has
headed much important work, the full
results of which will be obtained In
the coming legislature. One OF the
most important pieces of state effort
has been in behalf of budget system.
% which Gov. Sleeper stands pledged.
At his instance budget commission
was created by the 1917 legislature
and its work has been done between
sessions, now awaiting the action of
the 1919 legislature. Another com.
mission named by Gov. Sleeper has
been at work on the states compensa.
ton law, to suggest ways and means
by which that progressive legislation
may be bettered and more adequate
and timely compensation provided for
injured workmen and the dependents
Of those killed in industry. The find
ings of this commission will form one
Of the most important items of legis-
lation to come before the next legis.
lature.
Numerous other state enterprises
have occupied attention in the past
two years, as well as the national war
work, with the result that Gov.
Sleeper has been by far the busiest
state executive Michigan has had at
any time since 1t became a state.
Gov. Sleeper has more than earned
the compliment of being returned for
a second term, with no opposition
from within HIS own party, and with
only perfunctory opposition from 9TH
er parties in the November election.

PIGS DRUeoED WITH OPIUM.
They Eat Some Poppy Stalks and
Sleep Three Days.

JERSEY SHORE, Pa.-Ashur Tomb
Of Oriole, a nearby village, thought
his pigs had some kind of a sleeping
sickness when, not without prodding,
they came up to the trough with eyes
half shut.
They were too drowsy to eat, leav-
ing their corn half finished, quite con-
. trary to hog usages. They remained
in this condition three days, and then
got well.
The explanation came when 1t was
remembered the pigs had been fed the
stalks from bed of peoples which
had been moved down. The poppy
Is the origin Of opium.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A PROSTATE
body, covered with blanket, was
borne into the embalming room of a
local morgue at the early hour of 2
a. m. Solemn-faced men stood by in
the dim light as the undertaken drew
back the blanket and gazed down on
the still face and the closed eyelids.
Suddenly the corpse sat up and
looked around.

concernedly. can undertaker's? Well.
it's warm here anyway. Guess I'll
stay all night" And he settled back
to continue his nap, drawing the
blanket up around his chin.
There had been a most confusing
mistake.
A body destined for burial in this
city and an injured convict being re-
turned from a prison camp at Granite
to the reformatory at Anamosa, ar
rived on the same train.
There's your corpse" policeman
had told the driver OF the morgue
wagon as he saw the stretcher bearing
the injured man hauled out OF the bag
gage car. The driver asked no further
questions.
Nor did the deputy in charge Of the
man interfere. He believed the wagon
to be an ambulance which had been
ordered to meet the train.
And the next minute the corpse
was conversing pleasantly with the
custodian of the embalming fluids.
Was the undertaken frightened? He
was.
But what would you do IL your
corpse sat up and shouted Where am
I att" in your right ear?
