Must Be Brave to Raise
MuStache-and a Little
Later to Shave It off

1t takes a brave man to raise
mustache. When you first hesitate
and then desist when it comes to shaw
Ing your upper lip and the sprouts
spring up as ragged as the weeds in
a brick walk, then your friends nudge
each other and grin broadly when they
meet you, muses. a writer in Toledo
News-Bee. Your family looks at you
with sorrowful eyes and cringes when
you jauntily caress the segments of
down and remark that you certainly
are breaking all records for quick ac-
cumulation of foliage.
You become the butt of constant kid
ding. You furnish large punches of
enjoyment for your friends. The ia
vorite form Of witticism indulged in by
your friends is along these lines:
"Why the disguise? So you're raising
alfalfa now? OF course you want to
hide that face of yours!"
After about three or four weeks Of
this sort Of life you determine to re-
move the hirsute adornment. But you
find this doesn't stop the kidding. AS
n matter of fact 1t flares up more
strongly than ever. "Ah, ha," say your
friends. $50 you cut Off your mustache
to make yourself look younger? That's
right, old top, make yourself look as
young as possible-you're slipping
fast!"
1t takes a mighty brave man to raise
mustache and-to shave 1t off!

ignorance Of English ls !
Cause Of Many Accidents
In the Mining Districts

That the inability to read and un-
iefstSe0 English places the foreign
born in danger of his life is the strik-
ing fact brought out In a recent state
ment Of mine fatalities by the bureau
of mines, department Of interior. The
facts offer a strong argument for
Americanization.
The rate Of accidents among the
non-English speaking miners Is not
only greater in all the great mining
districts Of the country but the in.
creased ratio is uniform in all dis
tricts. The bureau Of mines consid-
ers that this demonstrates clearly that
the inability to read warning signs, to
comprehend fully the company's in
structions and to understand their
foreman, places an unnecessary haz.
ard upon the foreign-born.
The figures given show the differ.
ence in the rate Of serious accidents in
the mines among the American-speak-
ing and those from the countries Of
continental Europe, almost entirely
non-English speaking.
In Pennsylvania anthracite mines
43 per cent of the employees are Eng
disappearing and this number is
charged with only 2S.S per cent of the
fatalities, whereas the other SO pei
cent sustained II per cent of the ia.
talities. This is comparative ratio
Of $3.50 to 1,2SS against the non-English
speaking.
In Pennsylvania bituminous mines
the ratio is I'll to 1.123 and in West
Virginia district, 100 to 1,424. In In
diana the ratio is not so great.
Director Manning of the bureau of
mines concludes his report with this
Impressive statement:
"Had the fatality and injury rate
for the English-speaking American
been maintained throughout the three
groups, there would have been a say.

SICK HEADACHES
ENDED WHEN SHE
USED THIS TONIC
Massachusetts Resident Freed from Tor
ture by the Treatment So
Many Recommend.

Victims of sick headaches frequently
spend years experimenting with all sorts
of pain deadening remedies in efforts to
find rehAss from torture. In cases of vio-
lent headache, the stomach is often up
set, vomiting occurs, light and noise add
to the pain, loss of memory sometimes
takes place, and the victim is forced to
take to his bed.
Medical authorities, in treating at
tacks of this kind, recommend that a
remedy should be used that will be di-
rected at the removal of conditions caus-
ing the attacks. The mere deadening of
the pain by drugs can give only tempo
rary release from pain and will not
guard against recurrence OF the at
tacks. These headaches are caused, in
a great many cases, by thin blood which
leaves the nerves undernourished. A
builder that restores the blood and thus
affords nourishment for the starving
nerves viii bring relief.
These conditions are illustrated in the
case of Mrs. Eli Russell of No. Is Mel
son street, North Adams, Mass, who

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity, who tells us that meat forms uric
acid, which almost paralyzes the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the blood.
They become sluggish and weaken. then
you suffer with dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours. tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges The urine gets cloudy, full of
sediment, the channels often get sore
and irritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
To neutralze these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste. get four ounces of
lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days, and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine SO it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
