QUIT MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a glass of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder
 is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat reg1- larlv can make q mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in thn kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedl- ment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take q tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in few days your kidneys will 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 the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 .tad Salts is inexpensive and cannot iniure; makes a delightful effervescent Iitha-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

KEEP HOUSE LOOKING RIGHT
Liberal Use of Paint Is True Econom, --Means Higher Rent and
 Grsater Value.

The best way to sell a house is to paint it first.
 You can get higher rent for house by painting it.
 The banker will lend more money on a well-painted house.
 These are suggestions made in con nection with clean-up-p -paint-up cam paign that have arrested a great deal of attention.
 A prominent banker said:
 "Of course, it is easier to get loan on a well-painted house. This is not merely because the house is in better repair and holding its value, but be cause the very fact that man takes good care of his property is proof to us that he is not shiftless, that he is provident and that we have reason ably certain prospect of getting the loan paid back.
 "A well-painted house carries its own recommendation, even as man who is careful about the neatness of his appearance makes a much more favorable impression than one who is careless"
 When nature takes on new dress, why not be in harmony? is a sugges- tion for cleanup -paint-up" that carries an appeal to most folks. It is also pointed out that woodwork kiln dried by furnace fire, in spring is actu- ally parching and furnishing for re- freshing paint.

There is no best breed Of swine.
Some breeds are superior to others in
certain respects and one breed may
be better adapted than another TO GER
tain local conditions. The essential
point Is that after the farmer has once
decided upon the kind Of hog to raise
he should stick to this decision and
develop the chosen breed to its 4 sissS
possible standard. 1t is not feasible
for one Individual to raise several diff
ferent breeds and bring them to per-
lection. In making his choice, too, the
farmer should be guided by the kind
of breeds already established in his
locality, If he selects one Of these
he is not likely 70 make q mistake.

There are two distinct types of

number those of the bacon type in the

While few American steamers have
been calling at st. Thomas for sup

are not considered as good as here.

possible from the American people and
