SALTS F BACKACHY
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating meat for while if your Bladder
 troubles you

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen. orally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body's urinous wastes else you have backache, sick headaches dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongus 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- ciaH at once or get from your phaImaclse about four ounces of lad Salts; eake a tablespoonful in glass of wstsr 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 t0 clean and stimuiate sluggish 6dneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine 60 it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

HANDLE NEW CAR
 WITH MUCH CARE
After First Trip Go Over Nuts and Bolts and Make Sure
 They Are All Tight.
MAKE FREQUENT INSPECTIONS

It Is of prime importance to handle the new car carefully. After the first trip take wrench and go over every nut and bolt to make eertian they are all tight. The engine parts should receive especial attention, for the slightest defect will result in misfiring and poor carburetion, writes William H. Stewart in New York Times. Make your inspections frequently for the first 1000 miles until the car has worn in somewhat, then you can re- lax your vigilance a bit.
 . Make thorough study of your in- struction book. Look at the lubrica- ton chart and famiiarize yourself with the location of every grease cup and oil hole, then see that they are kept filled properly. This will insure you against worn parts or scored bear ings and, incidentally, allow you to learn the fabrication system thorough ly.
 New Car is Stiff.
 When an automobile Is built the en- zine has been run but little and every part is fitted tight to make them snug after the roughness has worn off. Con- sequently the car is very stiff and will not show much speed until those parts wear in. So don't exceed twen- ty-five miles an hour until the speed ometer registers 1000 miles. By so doing each part will find itself' and you will be perfectly safe in exceeding thirty miles per hour. If you force a car before 1t has obtained the 1000 miles it will result in noisy engine and premature repairs.
 Drain off the oil every 800 miles and replace it with fresh. The qual- tity of grit and dirt that comes from the crank case is usually surprising.
 The bearings and pistons throw off small particles of metal which If not removed with the old oil will work into the bearings and cause trouble. Perhaps the motor will show ten dency to overheat when new. Don't let this worry you for 1t is merely the friction caused in wearing off the IOuSu Ol tuRluc. DllNC intelligently and use plenty of oil and water and soon this trouble will dis appear.
 Clean Body Carefully.
 The body cleaning should be done very carefully for the first month or so. Use a simple flow of water, with out spray or force, otherwise the fin ish will be marred. The longer you drive without unnecessary cleaning, the harder the varnish will become.
 Do not allow the engine 10 race or to run when the car is standing. Self starters are made to be used and it is good for the battery to be operated intelligently.
 Keep the tires fully inflated-soft tires consume power as we'll as de- stroy themselves.
 Keep the carburetor adjusted at the leanest possible mixture-a lean mix ture reduces carbon deposits.
 Don't try to economize by purchas- ing the just as good" oil Buy the best grade and change the supply about every 800 miles. This will be most economical in the long run.
 If you follow the car driven by an expert you will notice that he main- tains a constant speed that he does not loaf along and then suddenly jump to forty miles an hour. More gasoline is used when you accelerate. Select safe driving speed. making only gradual Sneed changes when 1t is nec-

O'clock I'll send the town marshal

fire in his eye.
Norman marched out of the house,
hung around downtown until eight
o'clock, and then repaired to the
agreed-on rendezvous of the crowd, an
old buggy shed attached to a great
barn owned by Farmer Logan. He
felt uneasy, stubborn and nettled. Re-
Gently he had been dared by his COM
panions to smoke cigarette. He
had met the dare and now, with two
of them in his pocket, he Lit one and,
in sheer rebellion against his fathers
system, was about to puff out his re-
sentiment when the signal cry of his
comrades echoed forth. Carelessly
throwing the lighted cigarette into a
corner of the shed, he bounded out
and for over an hour forgot all save
the excitement of the moment. The
unruly coterie rolled giant SNOWFALL

to the town common; they got up into
the town hall tower and rang it's bell.

Norman Hardy's heart stood still. He
recalled the cigarette and the Uttered
woodshed. He stood dumb and
scared. The flames completely en-
quilted the great frame barn. Norman
skunk off alone by himself, oppressed
with an appalling sense of guilt. His
emotions were doubly intensified when
he heard some one say:

another. "The barn was stored with
grain and machinery and the insur-
ance ran out last week.
Norman was crushed with sense
of his culpability. He felt like flying
from home, town and all the peo-
pie he had ever known. He skulked
behind hedge as group Of girls
came along. They were discussing
the fire so excitedly that they paid no
attention to lone member of their
group trailing on behind them. Nor
man noticed her, however. She was
Milly Daniels. He startled her by
stepping directly in her path.
"Just linger for moment, will you,
Milly?" he spoke under high agita-
ton, cor I'll walk with you bit. I'm
in terrible trouble, and I'm going to
leave town for good" and Norman re-
cited the entire story of the evening.
There's only one way out, don't you

a moment Of ominous deliberation,
"when / was a lad of ten, my father
taught me a lesson that has left it's

Hardy had gone forth into the world
to seek his fortune. Milly had pleaded
to sit up and watch the old year out
and the new year in. All three of

were thinking of the boy who had run
away from home. The bells had just
