LESS MEAT IF BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take . Glass Of Salts to Flush
Kidneys II Bladder
Bothers You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked:
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts Of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region:
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches.
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri-
nary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts Is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates.
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

CHAPTER TX.
The Telegram.

A telegram In the hand Is worth two
special delivery letters you can't find ;
so tore open the yellow envelope.
Now. it is a habit of mine to read the
signature before the message. The
signature was my brothers name. My
brother is not telegraph person, ex-
cept for bad news, and the sight of his
name gave me a shock. and for good
half-minute l could not go on with the
message. But when l got the courage
to face what had happened in the fam
lily. this Is what appeared:
81 am obliged to ask you to come to
Philadelphia tomorrow on urgent bust
ness. Take the train leaving New
York at IL a. m. I will meet you at
Broad Street station"
l think the first thing that struck
me as queer in it was the large num-
Der of words-words that no expert
enced business man. using telegraphic
communication all the time, would
have put in-the "tos" and "the's :"
and then, 81 am obliged to ask"-my
brother would say, Must ask you
come" or please come"
The second queer thing was saying
he'd meet me when his office Is just
around the corner from the station
and he knows l don't expect him to
waste time standing about waiting for
a train that may be late.

And their vibrant lips and their brazen
tongues,
Over the roofs of the city pour
Their Easter music with Joyous roar,
Till the soaring notes to the Sun are rolled
AS he swings along in his path of gold,
Dearest papa" says my boy to mo,
As he merrily climbs on his mothers knee,
why are these eggs that you see me hold
Colored SO finely with blue and gold7
And what is the wonderful bird that lays
Such beautiful eggs upon Easter days7'
Tenderly shine the April Skies
Like laughter and tears in my child's blue
eyes,
And every face in the street is gay
Why cloud this youngsters by saying nay?
So cudgel my brains for the tale he begs,
And tell him this story Of Easter eggs:
You have heard. my boy, of the Man who
died.
Crowned with keen thorns and crucifled: !:
And how Joseph the wealthy-whom God
reward
Cared for the corse Of his martyred Lord.
And piously tombed it within the rock,
And closed the gate with a mighty block.
Now, close by the tomb fair tree grew,
With pendulous leaves and blossoms of
blue:
And deep in the green trees shadowy
breast
A beautiful singing bird sat on her nest,
Which was bordered with mosses like
malachite,
And held four eggs Of an ivory white.
Now. when the bird from her dim recess
Beheld the Lord in His burial dress,
And looked on the heavenly face 30 pale.
And the dear hands pierced with the cruel
nail.
Her heart nigh broke with a sudden pang,
And out of the depth Of her sorrow she
sang.
All night long till the moon WAS up
She sat and sang in her moss-wreathed
cup:
A song of sorrow as wild and shrill
As the homeless wind when it roams the
hill:
So full Of tears. SO loud and long,
That the grief Of the world seemed turned
to song.
But soon there came through the weeping
night
A glittering Angel clothed in white;
And he rolled tho stone from the tomb
away,
Where the Lord Of the earth and the
heavens lay;
And Christ arose in the cavern's gloom,
And in living luster came from the tomb.
Now. the bird that sat in the heart Of the
tree
Beheld this celestial rnystery.
And its heart was filled with a sweet de-
light
And 1t poured a song on tho throbbing
Notes climbing notes, till higher. higher,
They shot to Heaven like spears of fire.
When the glitterins. white-robed Angel
heard
The sorrowing song Of the grieving bird,
And, after. the 1ubilant paean of mirth
That hailed Christ risen again on earth,
He said: Sweet bird. be forever blest,
Thyself. thy eggs. and thy moss-wreathed
nest!"
And ever. my child. since that blessed
night,
When Death bowed down to the Lord of
Light,
The eggs of that sweet bird change their
hue,
And burn with red and gold and blue:
Reminding mankind in their simple way
OF the holy marvel of Easter Day.

many cases the breed association rules

cessful and enthusiastic meeting.
Fifty-two persons were present. The
subject for discussion, christian
Brotherhood among State and Ma

was also a Booster meeting to create

young peoples convention and assem-
bly, to be held at Ottawa, July 10 to

Mrs. P. Caspar Harvey will have
