When the kidneys clog you must help

At first you feel a dull misery in the kid

matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; 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,

for generations to clean clogged kidneys

MORE LABOR AVAILABLE.
New England Farmers Facing Better
Conditions Than Existed Last Year.

In the special crop report for the eur
rent week t. A. Sanders, New England
field agent, says;
With some exceptions, mainly near
important industrial centers, there Is
plenty OF labor available for farm work
at wages averaging about one third less
than last year First class labor vet
commands good wages, being in de
mand, while the less satisfactory and
indifferent is finding difficulty to obtain
employment. Notable Improvement in
the attitude of labor and the quality Of
service given is quite general Some
farms temporarily closed will be
worked this year.
Throughout most OF New England,
supplies of seeds, tools, machinery and
fertilizer are ample Prices Of seeds are
much lower than last year-grass seeds
about half, potatoes three-quarters,
Others about one-quarter. Some small
reductions in tool and machinery prices
are reported, but farmers regard them
as vet prohibtively high, and there are
few sales. Mixed fertilizer prices are
somewhat lower, but not enough to in
duce the usual buying. Chemical prices
are relatively much lower and sales for
home mixing are larger.
With few exceptions the 1920 crops
were grown at peak costs. and the
heavy slump in prices of most crops
came before any large percentage had
been marketed. This means that farm
ers have taken big losses quite gener-
ally, and these with the uncertainty
regarding the future make the farmers
cautious in planning their 1921 acre.
ages. However, there are some bright
spots in the situation. For one thing.
the dairymen have been prosperous, al
though the open winter, more cows and
decreased demand have produced a milk
surplus. Feed costs are much lower. but
meat cattle prices are greatly reduced
with practically no market in many
places, otherwise the number would, I
perhaps, decrease, The milk surplus |
presents some hard problems, vet most |
dairymen have good courage and be 1
lieve that conditions will improve.

farmers, and although there is vigorous 4

INCREASED INVESTMENT.
In Thrift Stamps and Savings certi-
ficates in 1921.

Washington, D. c., April 5.--Sales
of thrift stamps and savings certifi-
Gates by the savings division Of the
treasury, which had been declining
from month TO month during 1920, have
showed substantial improvement since
the 1921 series was offered in Janu-
ary, il was announced yesterday. Sales
during January totaled s2,646,000 as
compared with the low-water mark
reached in September, 1920, of 81, 1885,
goo. During February, the latest month
for which figures are available, there
was continued improvement; the total
reached 1924, 00-nigh S6,000,O00 for
the two months.
For the past year or more the vol
ume Of thrift stamps and savings GER
tifcates presented for redemption has
exceeded the amount of new securities
sold. This is not surprising, however,
in view of the large amount outstsnd-
ing and the comparatively small vol
ume Of sales. The banner year in sales
of war savings securities was 1918,
when there was strong patriotic APP
peal. The total for 1918 was S97l,-
$4,000 During 1919, when the sales
campaign was based on national thrift
rather than patriotism, sl65, 100000
was brought into the treasury and in
1920 the total was s43, s92 900. Re-
demptions TO date included 1878 ,254,
600 Of the 1918 series, 33,44l 600 of
the 1919 series and Ss,0s0,OO0 of the
1920 issues.
Officials Of the savings division point
out that by far the greater proportion
Of the redemptions are Of the 1918
series. which indicates that more re-
cent issues are being purchased by in
dividuals, who plan TO hold them until
maturity.
The certificates pay four per cent in
terest. compounded quarterly, which is
equivalent to approximately four and
one quarter per cent If held for the
fun five years. Those who present the
certificates for redemption prior to the
maturity receive about three per cent
interest.
