 Back hurts

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels. get sluggish and clogged and need flushing occasion ally. else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, tor pid liver. acid stomach. sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kid ney region. get about four ounces of lad Salts from aev good drug store here. take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfas. for a few days and your kidneys whs then act fine. This famous salts is maas from the acid of grapes and lemon juSSS, combined with lithia. and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimu- late them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean. thus avoiding se- rjous complications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.--Adv.

Dr. Stuart's Illness Was Cause for Alarm Among
 Friends AM OUer South

friends and the good people every where" Dr. Stuart anticipated with great deal of pleasure his return this week tc his Birmingham church and seemed anxious to get back. to his large congregation, who are eag- erly looking forward to his early re- turn.
 The people of Asheville and this section Lave been keenly disap- pointed a, kis inability to speak here this sumner. He was only recently released from the physicians direc- ttons that he do no work, and his only public appearance was at the Charlotte exposition, just closed where fe and Mrs. stuart were ac- cou.panied by General Superinten- dent 0. 5. Keister of the Southern railway, making the return trip ir Mir. Keister's private car.
 Dr. Stuarts capacity for strenu- ous work, his power of resistance to Illness and his complete return to health are declared by many to be a result of the peculiar and happy rhilosophy of life for which he is noted, and his rich store of numor In an address here just before his Illness, the speaker scheduled to present him was delayed, and ne was introduced by a man who said he had never been in intimate contact with the doctor. and knew less about him th1n many others present, but he concluded that probably every one present will have an opportunity to know him before he gets through tonight"
 Tells Story
 That's the way 1 like for a fellow to introduce me- he began in his charatcerlstic way. The eXtrava- gant things said Jn introductions often leave speaker in doubt as to whether it's himself or somebody else being introduced, It reminds me of the bad man who died in a small town few years ago. This fellow was so mean that everybody in the community rejoiced over his death. and it was hard matter to find someone to preach his funeral Fi :. nally, preacher was located in a nearby neighborhood who could all ways say many good things about everybody, and he offered to preach the funeral. The church was crowded with interested people who were speculatng as to what good thing could be said of the man. The preacher was soon eXtolling the vir- tues of the dead man, when Brothe. Jones, member of the church and a pallbearer, interrupted the service by rising, walking directly up the aisle and peering over into the cof fin, The preacher puzzled and sur prised, paused a moment and said: 'Just be seated. Brother Jones; we'll give everybody a chance to view the remains in a few minutes Brother Jones. satisfied with the eXamina- tion, and turning to go back to his seat, replied: Well, I just wanted to make sure we was burying the right mani"
 Shortly after the laughter sub sided and the speaker continued, there was no doubt in anybody s mind that this was the same George Stuart who, with the immortal Sam Jones' had fought the liquor traffic and other destructive evils, and who has played such a conspicuous part in raising the standard of Amer ican citizenship-for in few min utes the appeal of his eloquence and pathos had brought the handkerchies to the eyes of his auditors.

MODERN USE OF

This prehistoric cave, illustrated n next coi- urnn, discovered on the Conatser farm, in Fentress County Tennessee, has today been turned into practical use for the present generation as shelter or barn for cattle, of which easily holds 100 head Pure spring water falls from rock into basin, in a shady grove below, providing for the thirsty cows. By freak of rock formation. a natural hay ! pit is provided, into which load of hay. driven onto the rock, may be easily dumped from above, requiring little labor for what is usually consider ; able job, feeding a large herd of cattle.

 Under the rock, forming a natural re- frigerator, was kept the family milk, butter and cream. Some of the latter was requi- sitioned by our hosts and we went to the house, where we enjoyed good dish of home grown berries and real country cream.
 On weli-kept farm like this, living expenses do not seem to be high, for, as Mrs. Conatser explained, there is an abun- dance of fresh butter, milk, cheese, honey, chickens, berries of all kinds, vegetables and fruit, to be had as wanted.

The demand for retrenchment thus
