GLASS OF SALTS
 CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Hurts or Blad- der Bothers You Drink 4
 Lots of Hot Water

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flush ing them with mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to thir normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In A hours they strain from it 800 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital impor, tance of keeping the kidneys active
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will 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 clean and stim ulate clogged kidneys; also to neutral ze the acid in the urine so 1t no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot njure; makes delightful efferves- cent Whitewater drink which every one should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.

Here Comes the Boss" !"
(NeW York POst.)

Here comes The Boss-we must get busy" The news travels swiftly Heads bend books, the stenographer rustes her papers, the telephone tor dons her headgear and answers the insisent flash from the switchboard that has been winkng in front of her for five minutes. The Clock Watchers take of the time and multiply their futile motions Work begins when The Boss comes the job. His late breakfast and leisurely journey his desk him than he estimates!
 In some corner of the place the Wise Guy is not electrified when The Boss comes the job. He is quietly taking advantage of that best hour in any mans day-the first in the morning He does not care when The Boss arrives, whether he comes at all; he is not working for The Boss although every body else, including The Boss thinks that he is. He gets his pay with the rest, the same cash cern and is loyal to it's interests. But his real em- poyer is of quite another
 It may well be that he is aware of the fact, but the person for whom he is working is Himself his real self the self that lives inside and commands his purposes. Not his pocket, mind you; pocket is only crevice in the clothing that covers man. Not What he gets in his envelope; that is only money; 1t is quickly spent and not a of it pany him when few days from now-oh so very few days-he passes through the Veil to be valued fol what he has made of himself. He working for himself, for his own satisfaction
 If the thing l am doing worth doing, were not of service among the real tasks of the world, his life says if his tongue does not
 I would not be doing it. Pay is well enough, and one must have it in some form; but get my satis- faction out of my own insides from doing to the best or my ability whatever it is that my hand finds to 'do am glad of the approval of The Boss but am more concerned about my own approval. It is for my own sake that put my best licks into my work can fool The Boss by working hard when he is looking at me, but cannot fool myself
 Presently the Wise Guy is called out to a better job for little he may suspect it. The Boss is look ing for Wise Guys They to be scarce

EXPOSING THE kU kLUX KHAN.

The World and The Times New York and other newspa pes other sections of the country ex- posing the practices of the Ku Klux Klan, an organi- zation with password grips, etc, and elab- crate ritual, that formed at Atlanta five or six ears ago purposes it is charged ani-colored anti Jewish, ti-Roman Catholic and anti-forelgn born In other words il wants American Government by American born white, Protestant, Gentle citizens The official name of the organization is Invisible Empire Knights of the Ku Klux Klan' and the head of the order styled Imperial Wizard, Elm peror Invisible Empire etc" It is said the organza tion accumulated half million members, and that it is growing rapidly.
 This Ku Klux Klan pretends to be direct des- cendant of the ku Klux Klan of Reconstruction Days in the South, and pretends that it's methods are similar. It sonorously announces that it's purposes addition ts it's hatred of negroes, Jews, Roman Catholics and foreign born citizens, to maintain law order and decent respect for the proprieties of civilized society.
 Under the circumstances it is not strange that the World. Times and other papers which hot on the trail the organization have discoved that it is largely money-making enterprise far the little group it's head in the Imperial Palace, is concerned, for there other conceivable for it's existence.
 Attorney e enera DaugheIty has announced that the organization will be investigated, and it is said that Chief William j.. Burns of the Bureau of Inves tgaton has been designated do the investigating Resolutions have been introduced Congress provid- ing for Congressional investigation of the organiza tion and it's methods It is alleged that many whip pings and coats of tar and feathers have been ad- mnistered people who have gained the displeasure of the order.
 Of such organization long exist in this country. It fall of it's weight at an early date. It is srotesque anachronsm in free America. This is apparent that the publicity that is being thrown it will accomplish it's eXtnc- ton without action by the Government. There is no in the United States for any an Elm 
 vestgation by the Attorney General ought proceed in order that those who have been guilty if any them, of violating the law might be punished fer their guilt
 The American people have long toerat ted any sort of organization that has for foundation Discrimination against people of religion or race, and they never will countenance one This country has been the home of Protestant and Catholic Jew and Gentile and peoples from all the continents and countries and it always will be that sort of d country
 There is no more connection similarity between this new ku kluX klan and the original Invisible Empire, or ku Klux klan, than there is between d. y and night. The original Ku Klux Klan like tEe Coleman vgilantes of San Francisco similar organ izations that have risen and had their short day sprung into existence in various sections of tte country to meet and deal with specific transient conditions, and as soon as the conditions over come the organizations of existence
