Why Not7

Question: am a workingman and have
saved $1,000. for which I would like to buy
$1,000 bond. / thinking of Swiss IS
or United States of Brazil SIS. I don't know
which is the best one or do you think I
would do better by buying an Electric
Power Bond z. / think that govern
ment bond Is always safer than an indus
trial one.---J. Il.
Answer-We quite agree with you
that government bond is safer than
any industrial bond, and we wonder
why you have not considered putting
your money in your own government
bonds, the safest in the world? Why
not buy a $1,000 bono of the Fourth
Liberty issue with the money you have
available? The income you receive
may be little less than you can get
from other investments, but it will be
as nearly absolutely safe as anything
in this world can possibly be.

Good Railroad Common Stocks

Question-On account of the limitation
of earnings and general uncertainty OF
selling common stock in the following !:
Norfolk & Western, Southern Pacific,
Atchson and Union Pacific. and IL SO,
suggest some good, strong transfers that
can be made without loss of income and
security. Tho writer is not dependent on
the income and can afford to take some
chances for the future enhancement in
value.--J. II. II.
Answer-You have picked out four of
the best railroad common stocks in the
country, in our opinion, and if you are
not dependent on the income from your
securities we think that you would do
better to hold on to all Of them for the
present. All of them are paying their
usual dividends. with every prospect
of continuing to do so.

Revolving Credits

Questionable writer has recently heard
the phrase rRe,voivlng. Credits" used con-
siderabiy- VIII you be good enough to
explain what is meant by this term and
what is their particular use w. NJ H.
Answer-Revolving credits may have
different meanings when used in differ
ent connections. In connection with
the railroads and the Transportation
act, it means fund into which the
railroads shall pay half of their earn
ings over 6 per cent on their capital in
vestment, and which may be used to
lend out to other weaker roads. In
general, it means fund which is con-
tributed to by various companies in
terested or is established by one COM
pany, or by the government, from
which loans may be made to any one
of a group of companies, SO that the
credit OF all may be at the service Of
one or more temporarily.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman Kho eats meat regu-
larry can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says well known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get cluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
Q sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is madg
from the acid of grapes and lemcn Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the Kidneys, also to neut-alize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
