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 kid neys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eIiminative 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 see relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu- 1natism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoon in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
Its Easy-If You Know Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young Is to feel young - to do this you must watch your liver and bowels - there's no need of having sallow complexion - dark rings under your eyes - pirnples - bilious look in your face -- dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in- active bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, well-lznown physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com- pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi- ute for calomel. are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clear ing the system of impurities.

STATE WILL GO HALF
 WAY WITH THIS CITY

The state board of health is ready and willing to appropriate $1,SO0 for a clinic in this city to be established to aid in ridding the city of social diseases. Several weeks ago a cam paign for that purpose was started in this city by the showing of the film, Fit to Fight" and it was stated then that the campaign would be gotten under way immediately and a clinic started. Lieutenant Pillsbury was sent here by Army officials to start the drive for clean city for return ing soldiers and sailors. He was to remain here until the clinic was es- abolished, but was called away on government business to Canada over a week ago. There will probably be another showing of the film in this city if it is returned from New Lon don. where it is at the present time. The condition upon which the state will give the money is that the city appropriate a like amount The health board has taken 8. lively interest In the campaign and will discuss asking for the money at its next meeting.

At o'clock they re- turned and took the rabbits, bringing them to one of the boys houses. As three of the boys were in for their first offense they were allowed to go. The other two were continued on pro- bation

"You have dropped something"

Estcourt stopped at once to look
and picked up a little ivory stick

Did ever words so light spring
from so heavy heart? When she
could have thrown herself at this

she must meet her with a laugh
and a jest. Her breath came a lit

Would 1t be a deadly one? She
knew what a terrible weapon her
enemy held, and how faulty her
own armor was.
But at that critical moment Lady
Sarah came sailing up, looking as
though she had not a care in the
world.
What are you talking about?"
she asked, gaily. You look as sol

the tension relaxed.

AS Lord and Lady Estcourt en-

with a laugh. "The gods do not
