ularly that they failed to mention
anything about steer buIldogging.

they wish TO carry off any Of the
prizes, they will certainly have 20 do
more than ride a few dog trotting
range ponies for there will be stacked
up against them sure enough cavalry

We cannot name all the riders we

wish to challenge them in. We con-
slider that the simplest Let them

Take a glass of Salts before breakfast

the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.

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-

take a tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with

to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
