Inc topic Of study at the weekly meet
ing OF the Bible class for men at IN.
I: M. c. A. Tuesday evening was Bible
siros and What They Say to Us. About
ten dinerent passages Of scripture were
read and discussed. The connect;or a.
which the raven was mentioned In scrin-
ture suggested Gods providence and m.
men entered heartily into the thought =
the many providences of the Heavenly
Father.
Inc meeting brought out the thought
that the sparrow, as mentioned y, a.
Bible, teaches us a lesson of trust. and
emphasis was placed on the thought that
most men fail to trust God as tbev
should, and as a result they are worried
much more than they should be. The
cove IS mentioned several times in the
peace in one place the additiona al
thought OF mercy appears. and in another
the passage mentions the dove in the

WAAfe o nation Of meat 6ateYI and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says Q
weliknown authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
che blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood TO poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
humps of lead, and you have .stinging
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full OF sediment, or the bladder il irri-
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take .
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in q 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 clogged kidneys,

no longer a source Of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody can make
a mistake by taking little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active.

Why Elsie was Sent 20 Bed.

DOGS FIND STILL AND DRINK
Police Wonder When CANNES Staoeer
Along Streets In IN Oregon
Town.

Baker, Ore.-With dogs blear-eyed
and wObbly In their underpinnings,
staggering along suburban streets
and In other ways acting queer, police
officers are beginning to take notice OF
serious condition of the canine popu.
lation OF Baker.
In recent days many Of the unfor-
tunate brutes have been sent 10 the
pound and the last one captured had
TO be killed. Every symptom points To
their being drunk. and the belief Is
that the keen scent OF these four
legged tiplers has "nosed" out a moon
shine plant.
And now the officers are taking pre-
cautions TO prevent two-legged animals
OF another species acting In similar
manner.

One Of the most interesting fact
about the human body is its powe,

Or destructive.
Among the most common OF
these acts of self preservation are

The Welsh Note.
Here is what the Rev. John

way in which English was taught
in Wales in the eighteenth century:
'This school had several features

Cincinnati authority says your
troublesome cornS just
loosen and fall off

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
corns between the toes just loosen in
their sockets and fall of the next day
If you will apply directly upon the corn
few Drops of drug called freezoDe,
says a Cincinnati authority.
You merely put drop or two OF this
freezone on the tender. touchy corn to-
day and instantly the corn stops hurting,
then tomorrow sometime you may find
the old torturous pest somewhere in
your stocking, having fallen off entirely
without a particle of soreness, pain or
irritation. The skin surrounding and
beneath. the former corn will be as
healthy, pink and smooth as the palm
Of your hand.
A quarter ounce of freezone- Is suffi-
cient TO rid ones feet Of every corn and

a few cents for it. !. It is q compound
