No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain. get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheu- matism, headaches, liver trouble. ner- vousness, 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 sediment, irregular of passage or attended by sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy: take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast and in a few days 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 flush and stimulate the kidneys. also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can not iniure; makes delightful effer- vescent lithia- water drink which ev- eryone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding seri- ous kidney complications.

 Swiftly he ran to the cottonwood where he had left his horse tied. He ierked loose the knot, swung to the saddle, and galloped out of town.
 Dug Doble's first thought was for his own safety. Satisfied that all was we'll, he turned to the figure sprawled on the floor with outfiung arms.

 He could put a finger on the time he@had commenced to go wrong. It had been when he had quArreled with Emerson Crawford about his daughter Joyce. He had gone more definitely wrong after Sanders came back to Malapi. The young ex-con- vict, he chose to think, was respon- sible for the circumstances that made him an outlaw. Crawford and San ders together had exposed him and driven him from the haunts of men to the hills. He hated them both with a bitter, morose virulence his soul could not escape.

 In the fresh air the men revived quickly. They went back into the cavern and dragged out those of their companions not yet able to help themselves again. They had perished in the tunnel.

 The women of Malapi responded generously to the call Joyce made upon them to back their men in the fight against the fire in the chaparral Now they cooked and baked cheer fully to supply the wants of the fire fighters.
