SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
We Eat Too Much Meat Which Clogs Kidneys, Then the Back
 Hurts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need flushing occa- sionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless- ness and all sorts of bladder disord- CTS.
 You simply must keep your kid neys active and clean, and the mom- ent you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take 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 kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder dis orders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes delightful effervescven. Whitewater drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoi1ine serious complications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. adv

 The council, it is now learned, has finally decided to go ahead with the plans already made by the secretary of the league for launching the court These plans, it is known, contemplate an organizing commit tee of seven or eight of the most eminent jurists in the world to am plify the whole structure of the court. Elihu Root, former secre- tary of the state of the United States, is known to have been selected as the American member of the commission.

It May Cost Precious Life to Find Out by Experiment.

The heart of every user of to- bacco bears double burden. 1t does its allotted task and then fights nicotine for supremacy. As long as the heart wins he lives; when it loses he dies, but before the final victory of nicotine you pass thru many stages of decline and decay and suffer many bangs. Hearts are like human beings some are stronger than others, therefore some hearts will stand more tobacco than others, but there is limit to what any heart can stand. The man who puts this additional strain on his heart a dozen times a day by smoking cigarettes, a pipe or cigars-ol chewing tobacco-is taking mad mans chance with health and life to lose and nothing to win but the chance that he may not lose them. He is indulging in a costly habit at the expense of precious health. Ask any doctor anywhere, and he will tell you that using tobacco is injurious and that it is far better to quit the habit than to experi- ment to find how much tobacco your heart will stand without serious results.
 But the thought of quitting is unpleasant to most men-even to those who know that tobacco iniures them-and to really quit takes more power than they have and causes more suffering than they can voluntarily endure. To quit the habit make it easy for Yourself by getting Nicotol tablets

How Much Tobacco
 Will My Heart Stand
A Question Vital to Every Man Who Smokes or Chews

and taking them as dirtcted. The habit really quits you and it's de- parture is a pleasure equal to its indulgence.
 If you want to know how much easier it is to quit the habit with Nicotol than within it, go twenty four hours without tobacco and note what an effort it costs you, then begin using it as usual and take Nicotol tablets. At the end of week discontinue smoking or chewing for a day and it is probable you will have no desire to resume. At least your desire will be greatly diminished and any other week or two should make it not only possible, but pleasure to quit.
 NOTE: Dr. Connor, formerly of Johns Hopkins hospital, under whose advice Nicotol has often been used, said when this state ment was shown to him: "I have known Nicotol to conquer the to- DaccO naOlC III less than lU uayS time and l can therefore recom- mend it highly" When the doc- tors statement was shown to one of our leading druggists he said: "Nicotol is truly wonderful remedy for the tobacco habit, way ahead of anything we have ever sold before. We are authorized by the manufacturers to refund the money to every dissatisfied customer and we would not permit the use of our name unless the remedy possessed unusual merit. Nicotol is sold in this city under an iron-clad money-back guaran, tee by all up-to-date druggists. l Adv

N RESSING the young girl from
- about eight to sixteen years
continues to make employment for
expert designers who specialize in
making clothes for all the younger
generation. They know the needs of
the little girls-thin ones and fat
ones and all the rest-the characteris
tics of their immature figures and how
to make them look their best. They
appear this season to be giving much
attention to details of finish in frocks
and in variation in the cut and con-
struction of them. Combinations of
plain and figured materials and fine
management of the plaids, checks
and stripes, that brighten the every
day dress of children.
To illustrate the last point, in the
dress shown at the left of the pic
ture above the skirt, sleeves and waist
are cut on the straight of the ma
terial, but a panel at the front of the
bodice and the pockets are cut on
the bias. There is white bar in the
Bingham which leads up to the white
collar and cuffs and white facings on
the pockets, finished off by white

buttons that are set at each side of
the panel.
Plain chambray trimmed with plaid
Bingham makes the neat dress at the
right. The skirt has a border of
Bingham at the bottom, double box
plait at the front and back and is
shirred on the sides at the waistline.
The bodice is cut out at each side to
reveal the shrrings and where it is
stitched to the skirt at the front three
white buttons are set on. The collar,
tie, cuffs and sash are all of gingham.
Black slippers and stockings are worn
with these everyday dresses.
Plain chambrays and other plain
cottons are daintily made for dressier
wear with organdie collars. French
knots and Il little simple needlework
are used for their decoration. Dotted
Swiss for dress-up and party use is
prettily made with very narrow, picot
edge, faille ribbon used with tucks as
its adornment; the ribbon matching
the dot in the Swiss in color. The
prices on dresses of this kind have
advanced to the place where most
mothers find them too high; they are
undertaking this sewing at home.

less productive than the other kernels
on the ear; the thick rounded kernels
from the butts are just as productive
as any of the rest, but because of
their shape and size they do not plant
uniformly when used in corn plant
err with other kernels.
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor, but is profitable. The me-
chanical corn shelter will injure some
of the kernels, and thus destroy or
reduce their power to grow and yield.
No matter how large the required sup
ply. says the department, 1t will still
pay to shell it painstakingly by hand,
because the greater the acreage to
be planted the greater the ultimate
profit
Each ear should be shelled sepa-
rateIy into a shallow pan or box, and
any blemished, poorly developed, moldy
or worm-eaten kernel should be re-
jected.
AS the seed from each ear is found
satisfactory and sound, and free from
poor kernels, it is poured into the gen.
eral supply and another ear is shelled
in the same way. 1t is much easier
to pick out defective kernels from a
thin layer in small sieve than from
large. mingled quantity in bushel
measure or q bag.

SOME FARMERS GRIND
OWN FLOUR AND MEAL
General Practice of Farmers Is
to Buy Breadstuffs.
Occasionally Man Is Found Who Has
His Own Little Mill and Does His
Own Grinding-Bakers Are
Patronized in Some Cases.

Cereals, such as corn, wheat and
buckwheat, are raised nearly every
where throughout the United States.
These grains are staple breadstufs,
but the general practice Of farmers Is
to buy -four and meal rather than
grind or have their own grain ground
for home use, says the United States
department of agriculture. In certain
sections where custom gristmills are
found, farmers still have some grain
ground into flour and meal for home
use. Occasionally farmer is found
who has his own little mill and who
makes his own flour and meal.
The average farm family consumes
about six barrels Of flour In year.
In the South the average annual con-
Of cornmeal is about 500
pounds per family and in the North
about so pounds. The consumption
Of buckwheat and rice is low, except
In areas where these crops are gen.
orally grown.
