FAT LESS AND TAKE SALTS FOR KIDNEYS TAke . gias of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder
 bothers you

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, 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 overwork, become sluggish; the affirmative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and @ general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine ia cloudy, full of sediment or you ara 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 rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in 8 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 flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine 90 it no longer is & source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.

CHAPTER TX,

fTlOT to leaving NeW OrleanS, WeD- ster had cabled Billy Geary that he was taking passage on La Estrellita and stating the approximate date of his arrival at San Buenaventura- which information descended upon that young man with something of the charm of gentle rainfall over a hith- erto arid district. He had been seeing Dolores Ruey at least once day ever since her return to SObrante. He was quick, therefore, to seize upon Web ster's cablegram as an excuse to call upon Dolores and explain the mystery surrounding his friends nonappear- ance.
 "Well, Dolores" he began, in his ex- citement calling her by her first name for the first time, i've heard from Jack Webster"
 "What's the news, Bill?" Dolores in- quired. From the first day of their ac- quaintance she had been growing in- creasingly f. i'd of Geary for nearly week she had been desirous of calling him Bill, which is a comfortable name and, to Dolores way of thinking, a pe- cuiarly appropriate cognomen for such a distinctly American young man. At mention of the beloved word he glanced down at her pleasurably.
 'Thank you," he said. 'I'm glad you got around to it finally. Those that love me always call me Bill"
 You called me Dolores"
 q move we make 1t unanimous. I'm foe to formality."
 "Second the motion, Bill So am T. when l care to be-and in our case your formality is spelling our comrade- ship. And now, with reference to the extraordinary Senor Webster"
 "Why, the poor old horse has been down with ptomaine poisoning. They carried him off the train at St. Louis and stood him on his head and pumped him out, and just did manage to cancel his order for a new tombstone. He says he's feeding regularly again and has booked passage on La Estrellita, steamer arriving"
 "Oh, the poor fellOw!" Dolores mur- mured-so fervently that Billy was on the point of huring his heart at her feet on the instant.
 The thousand dollars Webster had cabled Billy flor a road-stake" had been dwindling rapidly under the stim- uluS of one continuous opportunity to spend the same in a quarter where it vas calculated to bring the most joy. Mir. Geary was absolutely begged in the quagmire of his first love affair, but until his mining concession should amply justify an avowal of his passion, an inStinctive sense of the eternal fit ness of things reminded Billy of the old proverb that closed mouth catches no flies. And in the meantime (such is the optimism of youth) he de- cided there was no need for worry, for when a girl calls fellow Bill, when she tells him he's a scout and doesn't care a whoop for any society except his-caramba it's great!
 A wireless from Webster warned Billy of the formers imminent arrival. Just before sunset Billy and Dolores, riding along the Malecon sighted a blur of smoke far out to sea-a blur that grew and grew until they could make out the graceful white hull of La Estrellita, before the swift tropic night descended and the lights of the great vessel shimmered across the harbor.
 "f'oo late to clear quarantine to- night" Billy mourned, as he and Do- lores rode back to her hotel. All the same, Pm going to borrow the launch
