It's substance is described by special

certain vital elements naturally found

when taken into the human system is
quickly converted into healthy living

This phosphate is already widely
known among druggists in this country
as Bitro-Phosphate and some ply

it should be prescribed by every doctor

began rowing desperately for the shore
just as the mate and several of the
crew came running aft.
The smitten skipper arose to his
feet, roaring.
Lower a boat and get after that
man, or I'll skin every jack of you
alive" Climbing into the quarterboat
and with four seamen at the oars, ia
cobs seized the tiller and the pursuit
began.
Rowing his best, the escaped one
saw that he could not hope to hold
his own with the four oarsmen who
were SO holly pursuing him. That he
would soon be overhauled and taken
back to the schooner to be grossly
manhandled and carried to he knew
not what foreign port, was fact that
became more and more apparent each
moment as the distance between the
two flying craft swiftly diminished.
Driven to desperation, John decided
upon a ruse which If successful might
put the advantage upon his side.
Abruptly he ceased rowing.
Thinking that the fugitive had recog-
nized the impossibility of escape and
resigned himself to the inevitable,
Captain Jacobs ordered his men to
cease rowing and hold their oars per-
pendicularly that he might swing the
quarterboat alongside the dingey. As
the four seamen obeyed and the skip
per with sweep of the rudder brought
his craft within a few feet Of the
now listlessly floating boat of John,
the latter leaped to his feet, boat

savage blows the upraised oars of the
quarter boat went down with crash

Two were snapped OFF at the blade,
one knocked into the water and the
fourth badly splintered. Throwing
down the boat hook and resuming his
oars, John with parting laugh swept
on his way, leaving his enemies raging
impotently with no means of prOpel-
ling their craft in pursuit. Fifteen
minutes later he was debarking at the
spot where he had been landed by the
caretaker, and wiping the perspiratiOn

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
lew people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have a duty
of vital Importance TO perform. and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
Kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where. and one of these poisons is uric
icid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places.
