DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

If YOU are troubled with back aches,
it is bet that they are caused by
weak kidneys; they don't perform their
duties. and you should look out, as
there is trouble brewing.
When your kidneys get sluggish ana
clog, you suffer from backache, head
ache, dizzy spells, and it is more than
likely to bring on rheumatism.
The urine is often cloudy, full OF
sediment, your sleep disturbed by being
compelled to arise. one or more times
during the night, because of the pam.
irritation and abnormal condition OF
the kidneys and bladder.
If YOU will take from 10 to 20 drops
of SEVEN BARlIS in a little water
after meals. you will correct the aka

duties.
When the kidneys are not doing
their duty they allow impurities to
accumulate and be converted into uric
acid and other poisons, which VIII
cause serious trouble unless they are
driven from your system.
If you eat meat regularly. you
should flush the kidneys occasionally
with SEVEN BARkS, as. meat forms
uric acid, which clogs the pores, so
they cannot throw off the poisons.

Over Cooking Spells Asparagus.

Asparagus is in market and accord
ing to its price can be enrolled in the
aristocratic class But what a great
amount OF pleasure turks in those two
bound punches Hothouse asparagus
has been available during the winter,
and several good varieties of the
canned product, but these do not sat
isfy the lover of this succulent vege-
table and the first fresh punches are
hailed with joy, says the Springfield
Republican.
Be careful not to spoil asparagus
in the cooking. There is a saying, As
quick as an asparagus cook" Remem-
Der this and do not overlook your
punches. They should be taken apart
and washed, then tied up again. 1t
is often convenient TO tie the stalks
in punches of size suitable for an in
dividual serving. Steaming is the best
method OF cooking them, as in this
way less of the mineral is lost. Boiling
/. the method most commonly used.
Stand the lunches up in boiling salted
water, so that the tender tips are not
covered Cook for only 10 minutes, al
lowing the tips 70 90 into the water
for the last five minutes. Drain and
serve at once with melted butter, or
with a sauce.
Asparagus is made more aristocratic
by the use Of Holandaise sauce. The
flavor of this sauce and the flavor of
the asparagus blend together and each
seems to draw out the best that is in
the other. However, the use OF a
white sauce is not to be despised. Wa
ter in which the asparagus is cooked
should be substituted for half OF the
milk called for in the recipe Serve
on toast and this can be used Tor the
main dish in a meal.
Remember, do not overlook aspara
gus and, above all do not allow it TO
stand in water. Does anything look
more detected than a dark, thin, wa
terry stalk Of asparagus. And does
ANYTHING look more attractive than
bright green. plump stalk? Like the
onion. the asparagus is OF good old
stock. Asia is its native soil, and his
tory tells us that one stalk has been
known to weigh three pounds, and TO
grow II feet tail. Can sou imagine
sitting down to dinner with stalk
OF this kind in front OF you!

REGAINS APPETITE
AND SLEEPS WELL

Everyone knows how important
blood is to the human body, but many
do not know how disastrous and nu-
merous are the effects OF thin, weak
blood
When slight effort causes exhaustion,
when headaches, indigestion, loss of APP
petite, dizzy spells, heart palpitation,
slooplessness and nervousness are ex-
perienced, it is evident that there is one
cause back of it all, poor blood.
Do not waste valuable time treating
the symptoms. Ask your druggist for
the tonic which Mrs. William Walker,
of No. l46 Cedar street, Bridgeport,
Conn. found so beneficial. She says:
"By gradual stages my condition be-
came so bad that | was on the verge of
nervous breakdown. My stomach
caused me great distress, especially
from gas, and when | tried to gain rest
through sleep I tossed about and gen
orally arose more tired than when
went to bed. My appetite was poor
and at times ! was unable to do my
work. There were aches all over my
body and dizzy spells invariably came
on when | stopped over.
81 had read a great deal about DR..
Williams Pink Pills and decided to
try the remedy. There was change
for the better in a short time and grad
uallv my strength came back. My
stomach was so much better that
could eat hearty meal without dis
tress and ! slept well. The dizzy spells
have entirely disappeared, my nerves
have gained strength and | feel fine. |

SEEKING A BETTER CLASS OF
LEGISLATORS.
(Chicago Daily News

Recently the legislative voters
league declared for the abolition of
cumulative voting for representatives
to sit in the lower house of the ILL.,
nois legislature Roger c. Sullivan.
leader of the Democratic party i'm I'LL
nois, replied that If minority repre-
sentation is to have no place in the
new constitution of the state the fur
ther step should be taken of making
the legislature entirely nonDartisan,
Just as the Chicago city council is to
be under the new law Clifford w.
Barnes, president of the legislative
voters league, has FASTENED to APP
prove Mr.. Sullivan's suggestion.
A nonpartjsan system of choosing
legislators unquestionably would tend
put all candidates TO the searching
to eliminate party lines and thus to
test of personal inertia test which
knows no party favoritism. Indeed
1t affords the best plan thus far pro-
posed to retain the good in the present
minority representation method and
TO eliminate the familiar evils that
nave attended Its application. There
are no real party issues in Illinois, so
far as legislative affairs are concerned
now that United States senators are
chcsen by direct vote of the people.
