Says Backache is a sign you have been eating too much meat, which forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache au- dull misery in the kidney, region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat says & well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which ovevworks the kidneys in theh' effort to filter 1t from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; camov- ing all the bodys urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated. and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic
 vinEes. The urine is cloudy, full of s. dimeut channels often get sore. W-ter scalds and you are obliged to seSk relief two or three times during ths night.

BULGARIA FACES
 FINANCIAL CRISIS

Sofia, Bulgaria, March 3.--(Corre- spondence of The Associated Press.)--- Bulgaria. is facing a, financial crisis, it Is asserted. The war cost the coun- try over S1, 300, COG, GOO while it's esti- mated wealth is only $2, 200. GOO, coo The national debt before the war was $160, ,0ON. 900.
 Of the national debt as it row stands Bulgaria owes to Germany $660, ,0oo, GOO which was advanced in installnents of ten millions, but last winter Ger many discontinued this practice, and demanded payment for munitions in cash. Germany, evidently. was not in the bu~41es of helping its Allies for nothing, as the prices charged Bulga- ria for gas masks clearly indicate. For each mask it charged $16 and sheepsBdn. as compared with the cost
 of a similar article for the United States army in England of $4.50.
 Financial experts agree that the sof- vency of the country can only be pre- served by the presentation of counter claims against Germany. Even if Bull garia's total indebtedness to Germany
 is outweighed by Bulgaria's counter claims, oppressive taxes must be i'm
 posed for a, decade or two in order to meet the remaining debt, say Bulga-
 rians. The state revenues before the
 last three wars averaged $50 000. 600 per
 annuIn. Recent taxation added SEQ coo 0O0 to this sum. T'o fill the gap ibetween what is possible to raise by
 taxation and tho needs of the nation it is now proposed to confiscate wealth illegally obtained in addition to dras- tic taxation of war profits.
 Under Germany's tutelage the finan- cial policy maintained by Bulgaria
 sank the country deeper and deeper every year in debt. It was the only lbeuigerent country which issued no internal loan, but contented itself with printing paper money to the to- tai of almost $500, 900 ,00o, at the normal rates of exchange. AS a result Bull Barie's currency has depreciated more than one-half, while the accunn2sntion of private wealth ran a parallel to the rapidly mounting state debt. More than 80 banks were fioated having a total capitalization of nearly one hun
 dred millions.
 Bulgaria's sole negotiable article of 1 export is tobacco. and this she must use in the worlds markets in ex-
 change for food, clothing. cotton, oils, l medicine, etc. At present there are in the country the crops of the past two years. valued at about s300, coo 900.

dead branches of infected trees is recommended. Usually these leaves and branches are allowed to lie on the ground, and are distributed all over the town by the first wind.
 Many towns are spending consider able money to save their trees. In others the tax payers kegrudge the cost. Then if their trees die, they will wonder why their town looks un- attractive, and why real estate brings only a low price
 All forms of vegetation have their enemies. Unless ornamental trees are we'll sprayed, their chances for living are not good. Citizens should fight pests on their own grounds. School children in many places have done fine work by destroying insect nests.
 The insect pests will increase until birds are as numerous as they were years ago. The works of man are destructive. Coal smoke, electric light wires, leaks from gas mains, make tree growth diRcult. Long dreughts and a small rainfall kill trees in many places, Some tree 1oT- CTS are telptng out by digging holes

You may build town of handsome homes. But if no one has had the public spirit to plant trees. that town will look hare, and you will see many defects And a. town may be made up of very humble homes, yet if it hss abundant trees, it has beauty.
 The people should cherish their sbade trees as one of their choicest possessions. You can cut g. tree down in an hour. but it takes 50 years to grow a fine one.
