BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache.

The American men and women
must guard constantly against Kid
ney trouble, because we eat too much
and all our food is rich. Our blood
is filled with uric acid which the kid
neys strive to filter out, they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish; the
eliminative tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness
and 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 pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam
GUS 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 so it no longer is
a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
ithia-water beverage, and belongs In
every home, because nobody can
make a mistake by having a good
kidney flushing any time.

Appendicitis and Tuberculosis.

A French physician has made re.
port Of some observations made by him
on patients In whom there were to be
noted the presence of congestion and
other symptoms of pulmonary tuber-
culosis existing along with chronic ap-
pendicitis and which disappeared COM
pletely after the removal Of the ap-
pendix. The pathologic condition Of
the appendix was discovered accident
ally in one case In three Of the cases
consultants did not accept. his dag.
nosis until two Of the apparently
doomed patients regained their health
after the removal Of the appendix. The
third still rejects an operation.

Query.-What do you think Of paint a.
an Investment, aside from the appearance
1t lends? Does 1t really PAY to paint =
house regularly. say. every three or four
years7
Answer.-Good paint properly ap.
piled when needed is the main thing IN
making q house last long and we'll. A
house worth $4,000 can be painted at 4
cost Of about SIPS. In 60 years that
house will need about Is paintings,
the total cost of which will be $685.
Lett without paint, such house would
fall into complete ruin in 80 years. So
taking 80 years as basis for our fig-
ures we find that with paint a home
will last that time in good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the end Of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost, without paint, $1,000 for
home ready to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay3 As the old

QUESTION: E
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPlExlNo PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

! Query.-The government has launched
an educational campaigns to encourage
building In order to put more men to
work. Would not q similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good A. new also help?
Answer.-It is learned that such q
plan is in effect and ,s linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways of peace.
Employment must be found, in the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
tion has been interrupted. There Is no
real surplus of labor in the United
StateA Rather there 10 q shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi-
ditions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption Of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed BY
the necessities Of the war program.
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
Improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now OF, and there Ia
scarcely a town, city, q factory, .
dwelling or a farm that does not reveal
a crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action e1-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That is not logical. No matter what
It costs to repair, the cost Is less than
the cost OF neglect No matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect higher bill in
deterioration and decay.

NO DEFINITE REPORT YET
ON BOY SCOUT DRIVE

Chairman Holworthy Of the Boy
Scout Campaign Committee states
that he is unable to make any def
mite report of the work done by the
Rotary Club in behalf of the drive be-
gun yesterday morning. Only two
committees have so far reported.
with total of less than $40e. How
ever, the committees failing to report
state that they have been unable to
see all their prospects and the cam
paign will doubtless be continued
during the rest of the week, closing
Saturday night.
A list Of the contributors will be
published at the close of the drive
and any interested citizen not al
ready having seen is urged to send in
his subscription at once to the chair
man Of the committee at the Chamber
Of Commerce.
Therefore, if the boys fail to see
the name of any citizen on the list,
he should not blame anyone but him
self.

The past winter was mild one in
the United States, and the loss OF
live stock was the lowest in ten years,
yet in total the loss was large. In
number Of animals, the farm horses
lost from disease during the last year
were over 415,000; cattle, from dis
ease and exposure, nearly 2,2470OO;
swine from disease and exposure
nearly 100000. The money loss due
to these mortalities is not reported
but computed at the average head
value for all animals of each kind,
the aggregate would amount to more
than s2OOOOO,OOO.
