their future husbands.
In the Alps there exist several
charming Yuletide customs Of prOpOs-
ing marriage by the language Of flow
ers If a girl accepts a bouquet of
edelweiss from man during the
period from Christmas day to New
Years eve the action denotes that she
accepts him as her future husband.
Another Christmas custom In Swift
erland is for the young man to place a
flower pot containing a single rose and
a note on the window sill of the girls
room when she Is absent from home.
He then waits for reply. If the maid
accepts the flower before New Years
eve, then the young man boldly enters
the house to task papa" If, on the
other hand, the rose is not touched,
but is allowed to fade away, the pro-
posal Is rejected without single word

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder
Irritation or Back
Ache.

The American men and women
must guard constantly against kidney
trouble, because we eat too much
and all our food is rich. Our blood
is filled with uric acid which the kid
neys strive to filter out, they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish; the
eliminative tissues clog and the re-
suit is kidney trouble, bladder weak
ness and a general decline in health
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
Of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad,
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take tale
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithian and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is
a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.

Many quaint superstitions are asso-

the wearing Of new shoes on Christ

thought to be inviting Ill luck to allow
any new leather In the house during
the whole of Christmas week. Some
folk say that "a green Christmas
makes fat churchyard," but in Dew
onshire they say that green Christ
mas makes a prosperous year.
Superstitious people assert that one
should be careful about the CHOICE OF
the holly for the decorations. Part
should be, smooth and part prickly.
Then, providing both kinds are carried
into the house at the same time, all
will be well. But should the prickly
variety be taken in first, then the hus-
band will rule the household during
the coming year; If the smooth Is
brought in first the wife will be top

After placing a piece Of holly under
her pillow, many a girl, in the north OF
England especially, repeats these lines
to herself before retiring to rest on
Christmas eve, according to writer
liz London Tit-Bits.
Cupid plays an important part In
many of the superstitions and customs
that are still extant at this season.
Another queer custom in the north,
although 1t is not now so prevalent as
It was, Is that of gathering maidens'
purses. The money for these purses Is
collected some weeks before Christmas
from the inhabitants of the mining
towns, and they are given as marriage
portions to the poorest among those
girls who are soon to be married. On
Christmas eve full purse Is quietly
thrown in at the girls window, so that
her feelings shall not be wounded by
an ostentatious distribution.
A Christmas practice among super
stitious girls who wish to dream about

--Bula E. Croker, wife of Richard
Croker, left the witness stand this
afternoon, having concluded the testi-
mony In the longest case ever heard
in south Florida. Judge E. B. Donnell
will not give his decision for several
days in the case that involves the Gus
tody of the person of the former chief
of Tammany, the control of the Croker
fortune in Florida and Ireland and
the character of Mr.. Croker's wife.
Argument of counsel will begin to-
morrow morning. 1t calls for dis
cussion of great mass of technical
and conflicting testimony and the prac-
tice of courts of chancery for CEN
turies. Judge Donnell's decision will
be given in manuscript and made part
of the record There are no intima-
tions of an appeal from the decision
as issues touched upon in the testi-
mony here are to be tried in New York

ever, will affect only that part of the
Croker fortune held in that city.
