With two 1l-inch bottoms, under

Moline Universal Tractor, Model d,
plows 0 acres in 10 hours, as much
as ordinary 3-plow machine. The su-
perior efficiency OF the Moline Uni-
versal Is due 10 It's higher speed, 9H
miles an hour, two bottoms at 3H
miles giving tie Same number OF
plow-miles as three bottoms at 2M
miles.
Flowing at 81 miles an hour gives
ideal results, the ground being pull
verized more thoroughly than at
slower speeds, with less air space.
Tough sod that cami t be turned at
all at 2ts miles an hour Is plowed
with case.
Perfect work is assured with the
Moline Universal through the advan-
tagcous position OF the operator, who
sits on the implement, where lie must
sit in order to do good work. The
+ Moline Universal Is easily handled,
turns short, and backs as readily as
it goes forward.
Waste OF time in the field Is elimi-
mated and the tractor kept at produc-
tive work a maximum number of
hours day through a complete elec-
trio starting and lighting system. The
Moline Universal Is the only tractor

The secret Of Tic speed and power
Of the Moline Universal lies In its
perfected overlead-yalye engine and
two-wheel construction. The engine
develops IS horsepower at the belt,
and 0 at the drawUar, every ounce Of
which is available for pG'l. There
are no dead wheels TO drag along
that only carry weight and steer.
For plowing in extremely soft
ground, the Moline Universal Is
equipped with dlficrentiai lock that
enables the two drive wheels TO be
locked together, doubling their pull
ing power.
When plowing the land wheel Is
raised so that the tractor is level.
The wheel is very easily and quickly
raised or lowered.
The light weight Of the Moline
Universal, $3.50 pounds, and It's high
clearance, 20I5 inches, make It adapt
ed for all other field work, besides
plowing. With it one man can plant
DO acres a day, cultivate 20 acres a
day harvest 25 acres a day, or do
any other work with equal speed. It
Is the ideal tractor for any sized
farm, practically eliminating horses
and solving the farm help problem.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for a While il
Your Bladder is Troubling
You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort Of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged TO seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharrna-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for 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 has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer initiates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is "A life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink-Adv.

European TarantuIa.

An eminent authority in such mat
ters, in remarking that the tarantula
is a spider, says of that terrifying
creature that it is the Lycosa Taran-
tula, a species Of spider found in some
Of the warmer parts of Italy and
Spain. When full grown it is about
the size of chestnut and of brown
color. It's bite was at one time sup
posed to be dangerous and to induce
kind of dancing disease" but now
it is known not to be worse than the
sting of common wasp.
1t is an old fable, extending to re-
hottest times, that the bite of this spl-
der would produce epilepsy or a
strange dancing mania in its victims
and that this epilepsy or madness
could be relieved only by particular
kind of music. The tarantuIa of Italy
and Spain-and it is found in those
countries tOday-has hairy legs with
black markings on them.
