VALUES TOO HIGH.

New York.-"Present values are exaggerated and abnormal, resulting from and influenced by war condi- tions," declares Michael Doyle, pres ident of the International Pulp Go. '"rhe vital things for the nation is to increase tbe production of food pro- ducts and living necessities at the earliest date possible.
 Higher wage standards will in tensify the situation, permitting a larger expenditure and producing a greater demand for the present linn ited and scanty supplies, resulting inevitably in higher prices. The cure for the high cost of living is in ex- banding the output of farms and mills"

IF BACK HURTS USE
 SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if Kidneys Feel Like Lead or Bladder Bothers You
 Meat Forms Uric Acid

Meat Forms Uric Acid.
 Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasion ally, else we have bachache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, SleepleSSneSS and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must. keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before 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 is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids In the urine so it no londer irritates, thus ending bladder dis orders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent ithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious com- plications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who be- lieve in overcoming kidney trouble while 1t is only trouble.

 Dearest Joan:
 l have been caught up in a whirlwind. But I did manage to snatch your telegram just as we were moving out of Silversand station. Eric Wallis himself handed it to me-
 No bad news, I hope?"
 I hastily tore it open.
 'No-only goodbye from my chum Joan," I called, "and she wants my itinerary so she can catch me with a letter once in a while."
 ALL your friends want that he shouted. Don't forget-your friends, Dolly!' And he waved a cheery goodbye which warmed my heart. I believe he is really a friend, dear.
 As for this Herron-well he is a human dynamo. His mind works like one of those gigantic machines I once saw in powerhouse-so swift that it is silent. with only little blue sparkles to show the terrific power being created there.
 We start work on the stroke of nine. He is at his desk before that Then follow three hours of dizzying speed. When I cant keep up with his dictatton (and I confess I'm shade out of practice) he rattles it off into a phonograph-thing and I transcribe it afterward,
