Beauty the Home.

There are so many Aative shrubs,
vines and flowers to be planted about
the farm homes that their absence is a
deplorable fact In a recent drive OF
a thousand miles we saw only four
farm houses where attention had been
paid to beautify them. Naturally,
they were noticed. Don't dot the
lawn with fantastic flower beds of an
nual flowers. Put hardy shrubs around
the foundations, the taller gowing ones
behind. Then in front of these plant
the perennial flowers such as iris. Gro
Gus, narcissus, peony, sweet William,
phlox, etc. Keep the lawn open. A
few ivy or wild grape vines make a
hideous clubhouse less noticeable.
Shrubs can be transpanted in winter,
Get as much soil with them as posi-
BILE, and lamp the roots firmly in place.

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
bic, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work. become sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and a gem
eral 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 rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a 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 lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged Kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is
source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.-Adv.

Champ Clark's Shirts

Champ Clark likes shirts that have a small red stripe. Not long ago he went into the shop of leading Washington haherdasher to buy dress shirt Select ing one, he gave the clerk a ten-dollar bill and while waiting for his change wandered around looking at the shirts displayed in showcases. But let the for mer Speaker tell us about it:
 "I found q fine shirt with small red stripes, and I like to wear that kind. During the war you could not get a shirt with red stripes which would not fade. said to the clerk:
 What is the price of that shirt?'
 Three dollars
 Give me that and take it out of the ten
 "When he came back with the change he did not have enough and l called his attention to it.
 "'You are gouging me. What is that extra 90 cents for?'
 That replied the clerk, is the sales tax that you damned fools enacted up there in Congress.

LARRY SEMON IN
 THE GROCERY CLERK
Big Added Feature at the Alcazar Theatre This
 Week

What is considered by critics every where as the seasons biggest and best comedy, "The Grocery Clerk featur- ing the famous Larry Semon, will be a big added feature at the Alcazar the- atre beginning tomorrow.
 Larry Semon, who is considered one of the screens greatest funmakers, out does all of his previous efforts to please in his latest success, The Grocery Clerk" but he was not to blame be- cause the cracker thief got into the fly paper and threw it where the cat could get into it. Larry was only doing an act of kindness when he cut the cat out of the tangle.
 How did he know that she was going to do the shimmy? How was he to tell that the same cat would upset a jug of molasses which was to fill the hair, eyes, nose, ears and whiskers of a poor tired farm hand? Who could fore see that an electric fan on a summer day would turn a white man black and a black man white? And who would believe that by lighting a cigarette Larry could blow up an automobile on the next block?
 These things happen in the twentieth century It's fate: Larry was not to blame and after half an hour of real earnest laughter of that spontaneous kind you can't help you'll say Larry was not to blame.
